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. During his
army service, Jay received train
ing at electronics school at M.I.T.
and Harvard.
The opening address of the ses
sion was given by Donald Nelson,
chemical engineering senior.

shale deposits in the U.S. is equal

serves which were seriously de
pleted during the war.
More than 120 delegates from
eight other schools in the mid

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.
