Student Council Charged
With Political Corruption
The faction must go!
This was the essence of a series of statements made to
the Student Council by their faculty advisors, Wednesday
The statement was prompted by a meeting of the Coun
cil judiciary committee, Dean T. J. Thompson and the Coun
cil's faculty advisors a week ago. Dick Schleusener, judiciary
committee chairman, reported the results of the meeting to
the council today

Dean Accuses Nebraskan,
Council of Being 'Controlled'
'Outstanding Nebraskan'
Dale Ball, president of the Stu
dent Council, has been cited by the
Journal as one of six outstanding
Nebraskans. The paper stated that
the success of the Council was due
in large measure to the ability and
sincerity of the Council members,
especially "their president."
Srhlpusener's reDort stated that
the administration disapproves the
present political situation in the
Council. It feels that the council
is not representative of the student
body because it does not give ade
quate representation to the unaf
filiated student element.
IN EXPLAINING the adminis
tration contention, Dr. Curtis Eliot,
faculty advisor, emphasized that
Dean Thompson is not responsible
for the dissatisfaction with the
council but that it stems from all
parts of the administration. Eliot
said he felt that students would
immediately cite Thmopson as the
person responsible but that the
dissatisfaction was much more
wide spread.
"They (the administration) be
lieve that you (the council) have
failed as a true student govern
ment. Unless something is done
you have a chance of losing all
representation," Eliot said.
The council will have to scruti
nize itself carefully, Eliot said.
They must decide if they feel that
they are representative, Eliot
added.
"If there is a student minority
urniin in control of the council
the.-, it is not representative." he
j said.
COUNCIL SPONSORS, Miss
Marv Mielenz and Eliot, slated
that the council was granted au-
hnritv to L'overn as a representa
tive student group and that when
it ceases to be representative
will "disappear."
Rnth sponsors felt that the only
solution to the problem is to draw-
up a new constitution.
Schleusener presented two sug
gestions for constitutional revi
sion which he had received. The
first would retain the present sys
tem of representation by colleges
but would require a certain pro
portion of affiliated and unaffili
ated students from each college
' The second would put representa
tion on a regional basis.
COUNCIL SECRETARY Dick
Johnson, stated that he saw no
need for a chanrre. to which
Schleusener replied that the ad
ministration feels that the council
is not fulfilling the obligation un
Her which it was sot up. "That
is reason enoueh." he added.
Barbara Speer pointed Out that
the constitution, as it stands, pro
vides the mechanism for "house
rlenninc." These mechanisms are
embodied in forcinc secret nolit
ical crouns into the open, she said.
The matter will be turned over
the judiciary committee for ac
tion.

"Two Schmorks in New York,
will be played as a satire all the
way according to author and di
rector Gaylord Marr. The series
of sketches will be presented 7
p.m. Sunday Jn the Union ball
room. "Because all of the metropoli
tan notables are satirized, it was
thought only fitting to exaggerate
the costumes, settings and music,"
explained Marr. "Color will be
dominant, the entire revue hav
ing a bright and breezy nature."
THE SETS, for the most part,
are vividly painted cutouts, ca
ricaturing the conventional stage
furniture. For example, in the
barroom scene the only set is a
bizarre-like brilliantly-pa i n t e d
cutout bar, complete with iron
rail for footrest. The sets were all
st rnetion
The enst iimes also display the
satirical touch. Executed by
.Te:inne Pierce and Jo Speidell,
they add to the comedy theme of
the revue by exaggerating the
dress of the prominent New York
er.
TO ADD a final touch of satire,
the music and lichting have been
carefully selected. Bud Winter,
who will accompany the entire
revue at the piano, has selected
his music in the same vein as that
underscoring the old-time silent
movie. The lighting will be played
in a single white spot covering
nnlv the nlavini? area of the stage
All in all, "Skyline Scandals"
denotes a mood of whimsical lan
tasy overtoned with brightly col
ored settings and costumes.

"Tt is n shame that students on
the council do not represent the
entire student body. The council
is made up of affiliated students,"
he continued.
nr.AN THOMPSON expressed
the opinion that there is definitely
a need for reform. He said that
the percentage of unaffiliated
students in student activities is
deplorably small.
"We have been waitine ror tne
reform to come from the students
but if it does not it will come from
the faculty. Something will have
to be done," he added.
TTe siippestfd that unalfuiatca
students need more organization
for social, "not political," pur

have no contact with this institu
tion outside their classroom ac

SEVERAL possible remedies for

Thompson and ISA members, une
