Recognition of a political party
and consideration of re-establishing
the Men's Student Activities
Board were of prime interest at
this week's Student Council ses
sion. Announcements and three
committee reports comprised the
remainder of council business.
For this first time this year, a
political party approached the
Council for approval. Called the
Cornhusker Party," it was pre
sented as a coalition of affiliated
and non-affiliated students, its
executive group being composed
of three students from each of the
two classifications. It differs from
past political parties in that its
officers cannot be nominated for
elective positions and that its con
stitution provides for a board of
merit to review each nominee's
qualifications. With a recommen
dation to the party's benefit for a
change in its constitution regard
ing amendments, the Council voted
to officially recognize the party.
Objections.
Objecting to a number of points
in the constitution of the Men's
Student Activities Board, the
Council rejected it in its present
form. The main criticism lay in
the constitution's provision lor
amendments which would make
it possible for five of the eight
board-members to change a con
stitution which would affect the
entire male student body, sub
ject to approval of the five-man
Council judiciary committee.
In addition, the need for a spe
cial organization to point men's
activities was questioned by some
members who felt that some other
organization already established
could handle pointing.
It was in this light and in view
of the fact that the board mem
bership would in all probability
be made up predominently of In
nocents, that the suggestion was
offered for the Innocents society
to assume the duties, particularly
since the constitution provided
for the Innocents president to
chair the board.
Repeated reference to the
"Barb Union," defunct organiza
tion, stamped the constitution
obsolete and provisions for alter
nate board membership were not
clear. The constitution was re
turned for revision to the group
submitting it.
Other Business.
Following last week's hearing
of a Univet committee seeking
Council backing for its legislature
lobbying group, the Council de
cided to take no action at this
time, upon the suggestion of
Chancellor Gustavson. Fred Tel
ler reported that while the chan
cellor was optimistic about the
passing of the university budget,
Dr. Guslafson favored waiting for
the decision of the legislature
budget committee before taking
any student action.- He was
pleased with the display of stu
dent interest, however.
Plans to convene the senior
class for discussion of Senior
Week have been made, according
to Mary Claire Phillips. Joanne
Ackerman reported that a band
contract for the council-sponsored
Senior Prom is under way.
Helen Laird announced that cam
pus bulletin boards will be erected
soon by operating superintendent
L. F. Sea ton.
General Council interest in the
rental rates and operating fees !
charged to university organiza-!
tions for renting the coliseum
prompted appointment of a com
mittee to secure explanations for
several questions the Council has
regarding rental.

characteristics of substances as
they change from a gas to a liquid;
and Prof. J. S. Blackman who is
working on a subject of special
interest to veterans, the high cost
of housing projects. Professor
Blackman is trying to find ways
of lowering the cost of construc
tion, without the use of new and
radical methods.
Prof. E. A. Grone is studying
material by the photoelastic
method, and has even constructed
some of his own equipment.
As Engineering:.
In the Agricultural Engineer
ing field, Professors E. E. Brackett
and F. D. Yung are studying elec
