Chancellor Praises Work
Of Council at Dinner Meet
Cooperation was the keynote of
a joint meeting of the Student
Council with Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson and several other mem
bers of the university administra
tion and faculty Tuesday night.
"Cooperation is the answer to
our problems," said the Chancellor
in his remarks to the Council. "It
seems to me that our Student
Council is attacking the problems
that come before it in a fine spirit
of democracy and cooperation."
Harper Lauds Activity
Dean of Student Activities W. C.
Harper also commented that the
Council was to be complimented
on stirring up active interest to
ward possible improvement. "It
seems that the Council accom
plishes more per dollar expendi
ture than any other group," he
commented jokingly, with regard
to his position of approving all
expenditures of campus organiza
tions. Representation of all students
and groups on the campus as a
function that should be carried
out to a fuller extent was the
opinion of Dean of Men T. J.
Thompson.

Six recommendations for 1948
49 basketball games were pre
sented to the Student Council

letic director. Clark felt the sug
gestions would help insure a seat

be put into effect at the first'
game.
Suggestions
Following are the suggestions
submited by Coach Clark;
1. All students attending the
basketball games must pre
sent their ident cards with
their student athletic books.
No student will be admitted
who does not present his
ident card with his student
book.
2. Student athletic books are
not transferable. Any stu
dent loaning, selling or giving
his book to someone else for
feits the ticket rights of that
and all such violators will
have their books confiscated.

up students entering the Coli
seum. 6. The Student Council requests
that all students give their
full co-operation.
Previous Plans
At a previous meeting, several
suggestions were drawn up by the
Council in accord with A. J. Lew
andowski, business manager of
athletics. These included the plan
of allotting only the south bal
conj consisting of 1266 seats, for
public sale. Also, approximately
600 seats were to be reserved for
faculty seating. All other seats
were to be reserved for university
students until 15 minutes before
game time. At this time, seats lef
in the student section would be
