The Bill of Rights, containing five provisions, was adopted at the close of a three-hour session. Briefly the measure provides for protection of the student against discrimination and the right to freedom of the press and speech. It provides for free and demo cratic elections, wholesome living conditions and protection against arbitrary action by the faculty or the Council to abridge rights. Most of the discussion on the bill centered around part a of sec tion one which reads "the right of each student, regardless of race, color, creed, nationality na tional origin or sex to be protected from discrimination in all phases of University life." Inter-fraternity Council dele gates charged that the provision was ambigiuous in that it did not state how these rights would be protected or what they constituted. A motion by Don Stern to amend the section to exclude social fraternities and religious groups from its provisions was de feated.

"A good smile goes a long way in this world, even if you should not feel like smiling," Lambert said. Ambition is necessary for suc cess as "the modern world is com ing more and more into teamwork all the time, therefore we must learn to work as a part of that team." "We must take an active part in all activities of the community aside from our job," said the Dean of Ag., and above all, "do not take yourself too seriously. If the world looks blue, get out and look around, because it may be you and not the world that is blue." Along with this, health isa neces sity lor a successful career. "De velop a hobby if possible," he said.
