Student Assembly Adopts
Home Representation Plan
The issue on which the faculty first attacked the Coun
cil was resolved to the satisfaction of a majority of the
Constitutional Assembly at last night's meeting.
The issue, that of representation, was disposed of when
a report by that committee was accepted after a three-hour

At Banquet
Forty-eight men were initiated
into Sigma Tau, engineering hon
orary fraternity, at a banquet
Thursday, May 12.
Earl Luff, president of the Lin
coln Steel works, delivered the
banquet address on the topic
"Your Responsibilities and Op
portunities." Luff, who received
his Bachelor of Science degree in
civil engineering in 1928 from the
University, was elected an hon
orary member of Sigma Tau in
1941.
KEITH NEWHOUSE, instructor
mechanical engineering, was
toastmaster. Kent Tiller, presi
dent, welcomed the initiates and
Ralph Eis gave the response.
Verne Hedge, a charter member
of the fraternity, presented the
keys to the new members.
Selection of active members in
Sigma Tau is based upon schol
arship, practicality and sociabil
ity, the three requirements of a
successful engineer. Scholastic
ally, the man must be in the up
per third of the junior or senior
class.

City. Mo.
Fourteen University women
were initiated into the group at
ihc 5 o'clock ceremonies. They
include: Jan Haugscth, president;
Jean Fenster, vice president; Ber
nice Bc-ssell, secretary; and Mil
died Shull, treasurer.

nah Schloss and Father Schoen.

; debate. 1 he report calls lor rep-
resentation on the college basis
as does the present Constitution.
The new provision disregards the
sex clause.
A new system of voting is inco
porated in the measure. The bill
calls for use of the Hare system
of the single transferable vote.
By this device the voter lists can
didate in order of preference.
"Although the system is simple
for the voter to operate, it be
came involved for those tabulat
ing the results," Charles Berg
hoffen, chairman of the commit
tee, explained.
The Constitutional Assembly
will re-convene at 4:30 p.m. to
day in Room 106 Burnett hall.
"It is very important that all
delegations be present so that a
vote can be taken," moderator
Ted Sorenson said. "
"It is also important that dele
rates be prompt so we can wind
up the work of the Assembly,"
he stressed.
The clauses in the bill which
met with staunch opposition were
those concerning holdover mem
bers, sex and minority represen
tation. A series of amendments were
voted down before the Assembly
finally agreed on a provision
whereby future Student Councils
will elect six holdover members
who may serve as officers. The
measure was attacked on the
grounds that it destroys the pro
portional system and does not
present a fair picture of student
opinion.
