JLPiscloses Seeks Student - Of Initial Provisions Articles I and II of the proposed Student Court constitution are printed below in entirety, so as to get overall student opinion of the Court plans. ' Provisions annealing below have to do with the jurisdictional au thority and membership oi me Court. However, this is not the final draft they are sun Deins? changed as to technicality diffi culties and subject to any other changes that the student body might deem advisable. A second important function of the court concerning advisory opinion will be discussed in a future issue of the Daily Nebras kan. It is a new provision and was discussed and planned by Ray Simmons and other members of the Judiciary committee. American people are changed to bring a halt to these trends, the day will be reached when a man s efforts will not be rewarded by a standard of living which he would expect nor to which he is right fully entitled." Jav, a 1939 graduate of Iowa State college, has been employed with the Goodyear Tire and Rub ber Co. since that time, except during the war years when he served in the army.

Articles a a Opinion Kosmet Klub rep resentative on the Student Council and member of the Judiciary commitce, stated: "The proposed Student Court is not something that is being forced upon anyone. "We, on the Student Council, who have drafted the Constitu tion as it stands, want it consid ered only from the standpoint that it is a starting point, and will only be instituted if the student body feels that there is a definite need." Objections The majority of objections thrt have brought against the Court and its constitution are mainly concerned with technicalities in the first draft that appears in part below. These were brought up be fore the Council at Wednesday's meeting by representatives of or ganizations that had discussed the Constitution. "The only valid objection," says Fred Chael, chairman of the ju- diciary committee," is whether or not there is a need for such a Court." Those who have ideas for bet tering the present draft or other plans are asked to appear before Council at Wednesday's meeting or notify council members. "The powers of the Court will be weak at first, but once it has gained prestige the Constitution could be amended and its powers increased," said Ray Simmons. The first draft of the Consti tution was written and drawn un by Simmons, Chael and Stern, all Council members. ARTICLE I JURISDICTION SEC.
