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

be put into effect at the first'
game.
Suggestions
Following are the suggestions
submited by Coach Clark;

their student athletic books.
No student will be admitted
who does not present his
ident card with his student

his book to someone else for
feits the ticket rights of that

Sunday Dances
The smooth, danceable orches

here by Manager R. H. Pauley of
the Turnpike for its initial Sunday

the lack of Sunday night enter

introduction of Sunday evening

4. All students must enter the
Coliseum thru any of the

correct number of coupon to

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
