And again there's nothing unusual in the fact that the officers to be elected have al ready been named by the one political party on campus which so far has not been officially recognized. Through its majority in the council, the party should have little difii cultv eettingr the named members elected to office. All fine and good, but may we point out to all Student Council members that by vote they may pass decision as to who is best qualified for council offices. If, on a basis of past performance in Council meetings and activities, the named men are most deserving of offices they should be elected. However, if evaluation of leadership and contribution to Council activities reveals that the named men are the lesser candidates, the Council members, despite their poli tical affiliation or backing, should feel morally responsible for casting their votes for the best qualified. Doing this, the Council will be controlling itself, and no longer will it be accepting unquestioningly the decision reached by an outside group. For if officers are not elected on a basis of leadership and contribution to the Council, what incentive is there next year for underclassmen Council members to exert them selves in any Council activity whatsoever? The place, then, to show "strength" would be in the outside group. Wednesday's election should give a pretty good indi cation of whether the Council feels that its officers should be leaders and contributors to Council activity or whether they should be the men or women who by politicking get the stamp of approval from the outside controlling party. N. L. Campus News In Brief Alpha Zeta will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Seeds Lab for elec tion of new officers. Any unaffiliated f irl who wishes to be a member oLthe Daisy Chain made up of underclass women, or the Ivy Chain, made up of seniors, is requested to leave her name by Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Mortar Board box in the Union basement. First rehearsal of the chains will be Tuesday, April 20, at 5 p.m. in the Union ballroom. Anyone who has designated a desire to be a member and all who still wish to must attend this meeting. News Print LEWIS, UMW FOUND GUILTY John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers union were found guilty of criminal and civil con tempt for failing to end the re cent coal strike "forthwith: Lewis faces a possible jail sen tence and the union stands to lose a huge slice of their treasury to the Government. Judge T. Alan Goldsborough, who fined Lewis and the union a total of over $3,500,000 seventeen month ago handed dawn the em Dhatic decision by saying that there is no doubt of the guilt of Lewis and his miners and that the court's responsibility was tremendous in view of the fact that every lawless person in the country is watching anxiously the results of the present trial. The judge deferred announce ment of sentence until 10 a.m Tuesday morning. Meanwhile Lewis, who was in court, has no comment. REDS TRAIL IN ITALY' It was expected that 90 percent of the 29,000,000 eligible voters in Italy would cast their ballots in the all important Italian elections. Premier Alcide de Gasperi's Christian Democrat party took a 2 to 1 lead over the communist led popular movement with only scattered sections reporting. Most of the reports were from Milan and Rome areas. Unofficial re turns from 86 sections in Milan gave the Christian Democrats 31,- 000, the popular front 21,000 and the national bloc, 206. The voting was extremely heavy and this was regarded as good news for the Christian Democrats. While the voters cast their pre ferences 330,000 armed watchers stood ready to put down any dis turbance. Radio-directed tanks, armored cars, and jeeps patroled the areas while Italy's first post war free election continued. WHERRY KEYNOTER? Nebraska's Senator Kenneth Wherry was one of the many pos sibilities mentioned for the job of Keynote speaker at the GOP Na tional convention. Meanwhile Ohio's Sen. Taft in itiated his campaign in his home state. Harold Stassen also made ready to open the Ohio battle. A-BOMB TEST An atomic weapon, presumably an improved atom bomb, has been secretly tested at Eniwetok atoll it was announced Monday. For security reasons the test was made secret. This was the sixth A-bomb to be released and indications point to success in at taining a greatly improved bomb FREEMAW-sw in MASTER-FLEX CALFSKIN No finer style at any price.

Boasting a collection of 2300 classical and semi-classical records, the Student Union Music Room offers many widely varied hours of musical relaxation for university students. . Located behind the ballroom stage in the northeast corner of the Union, the Music Room has matured from a rather inauspicious beginning with a few hundred discs into a well-organized system housing nearly every form of recorded music. ' . The original set of recordings in the music library was granted to the Union by the Carnegie Music Foundation in 1939. The $1650.00 gift also included a six-volume music dictionary, the special1 Lyon and Healy designed phonograph and mammoth loud speaker, and 37 orchestral and vocal scores. The srant was made on the suDDosition that the Union 0 ill . - take over the job of , replacements and additions each forth coming year. " ''!' Who makes these new additions? Faculty? A Com mittee? The Union itself? Not at all, the students them selves Each spring, Music Room devotees display their platter preferences by voting them on a supplied ballbt. This year's balloting is being done now. Through the combined resources of the Union budget and an annual publications board donation, an average of $300.00 is spent on Music Room needs annually. However, in 1948, $450.00 will be used to bolster the wax foundation of the music room. This higher amount iaj mainly due to a plan devised to make the record library a complete one. Since through the years, breakage and losses have eaten too noticeably into the supply, an attempt is being made to replace and add 93 needed sets and records. During the past year, for instance, 20 single records and 5 albums have outlived their usefulness. Records are classified four different ways affording ease in selection. Separate files listing discs as. to Composer, Title, Medium (such as orchestral or vocal) arid form (such as string quartet or concerto), provide the platter pursuer with a definite system in his search for musical relaxation. Judging from past spring balloting, recordings most popular with music room enthusiasts are in the semi-classical vein. However, all types of the serious music offered seem to receive a proportionate amount of usage. Noon to 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. until 10 p.m. are the hours set up by the Union Music Activities Committee who also remind students that the music room is intended for culture and recreation and not for instructional or professional purposes. Each Thursday, the committee schedules a music hour at 4 p.m. Different forms or different composers keynote the weekly selections. Last week, for instance, an. all-Bee thoven program was presented. For a lift in good music try an hour in the Student Union Music Room. . CHRISTIAN SCIENCE: A LOGICAL AND PRACTICAL RELIGION Title of free lecture by Archibald Corey, CSB, of Detroit, Mich.
