committee was accepted. The re
maining work facing the dele
gates will be resumed tonight at
7:30 when the assembly is cal
led to order in Burnett Hall.
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 measure such as this offers an
opportunity to "create a situation
which does not exist," said Pat
Larsen, Pan-Hellenic delegate. We
have no discrimination problem
now and it would be agrivated by
such a measure, she contended.
"The Student Council will strive
to protect the rights listed in the
bill. Because the right is present
does not mean that the Council
will take steps to enforce it un
less the issue arises," Don Flesher,
retorted.
"We all agree that discrimina
tion is wrong but people in Greek
letter organizations are trying to

Lambert Gives
Tips on Jobs
At Ag Convo
"As you go higher and higher
in your field of endeavor, you are
going to find it more necesary to
work with your fellow man; this
is a very esential factor in getting
a complete education."
So said Dean W. V. Lambert to
Ag college students attending the
annual Alpha Zeta convocation
Wednesday.
Dean Lambert stressed the de
velopment of personality as one of
the key stones of the "Considera
tions When Choosing a Career,"
his topic. Lambert also stated
that the willingness to work hard
was an equal "key stone."
"Too many people want too
much for too little; we must learn
to give and take," he said.
"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.
