Several deletions in another ar ticle are requested by the Coun cil. .. In revising Article VIII, the Pnuncil seeks to enlarge us 1 highest-ranking committee, the Judiciary L-ommiuce, iu muic ef fective proportions, and to en able juniors to serve on the com mittee so that it is possible to have holdover-members, who would have valuable Judiciary Committee experience. As far as juniors are concerned, it serves a double purpose: to give them a voice on the committee, and to provide them with experience for their senior year. Totaling eight, the members include a holdover chairman, two other holdover members, three juniors, and one senior-at-large. The revision adds a senior-at-large to the committee, again to increase the committee's author ity. Moreover, the senior-at-large would become chairman of the committee "should a holdover member other than an officer of the Council not be available." Date Chances. JThe article in the By-Laws deal ing with the dates of elections would be revised as a matter of convenience and efficiency. Pres ent rulings allow the spring elec tions to be held as late as May 1. The Council feels, from experi ence, that such a late election not only is inconvenient, but de lays the organization of each newly-elected council, and there by its efficiency. Fall election of senior and jun ior class officers is required to be held during the third week fol lowing registration. The Council feels that it is impossible for po litical parties to organize and for students to be acquainted with candidates in that length of time. The revision would require the fall election "to be held the ninth Tuesday of the first semester, ex cluding registration week," and the spring election "not earlier than April 1st and not later than April 20th, the exact date be tween these limits to be deter mined by the Student Council."

A revision of Ar tide V adds this sentence to the officer provisions, "The president and vice-president shall be elected from the hold-over membership." The Council decided not. to spe cify that the secretary and treas urer must be holdover members, since all eight holdovers do not always remain on the Council throughout their senior year, be cause of second semester class schedules, dropping school, and the like. The only change in Article VI is thru deletion of unnecessary words and phrases. "In the case See CONSTITUTION, page 4. Ag Students Vote Tuesday On Revisions Ag Exec Board' yesterday re leased proposed revisions in its constitution which ag students will vote on next Tuesday. Gov erning body for ag college, the Board requires a student body vote in order to alter its consti tution. . Article II, section 2, which enu merates the board's membership, now includes "The two Student Council representatives from the College of Agriculture elected in the spring of their sophomore year." Because ag college's en rollment entitles it to three representatives in this year's elec tion, Board president Ned Raun stated "The Board members felt it was only fair for all three Coun cil representatives to assume membership on the Ag Exec Board. Therefore, the Board proposes two revisions. First, that the word "two" be stricken from the above quotation so that all ag Council representatives, regara less nf number, mav in the future automatically become Board mem bers; and second, that the entire section 1 be removed irom Ar ticle II since that section limits the membership to 12, when ac tually the membership cannot be constant because the numoer oi ag Student Council representatives is not constant. Separate ballots will be given to ag voters on ag campus next Tuesday, to approve this change. having to stand in long lines after seeing his advisor. At other schools the procedure is not as simple as the one here. The University of California re cently attempted to register stu dents in one day, with the result that thousands of students queued up the day before and stood in line all night, simply because the administration there did not think ahead. The three things that a student who has picked up his card at the library has yet to do are these: 1. See his advisor as soon as possible regardless of appoint ment date with the assignment office, to draw up a course sched ule. ' . . ,. 2. Secure on the registration blanks the signature of the dean of his own college or division. 3. On the appointed date listed on the card obtained at the li brary, take the blanks made out by the advisor tad approved by the college dean to the assignment committee headquarters. , LINCOLN 8, NEBRASKA 78 Cmdiidmft Bridenbaugh Revealed As Ag Goddess Party Climaxed By Presentation BY CHARLES BRIM.
