Fourteen students met Wed
nesday night to discuss possi
bilities of building an addition
to the University's Union build
ing. Action resulted froq a Daily
Nebraskan reporter's inquiry as
to when the Union addition would
be built as provided in the Uni
versity's ten-year building pro
gram. The reporter was informed
that a Union addition will not be
included in the program unless
the students want it.
When the information was re
ceived in The Daily Nebraskan
office, Student Council President
Roz Howard was immediately
contacted. Two of the publica
tion's editors, Cub Clem and
Fritz Simpson, and Howard then
discussed the matter with Duane
Lake, Union director.
Student Action
Lake said that a Union addition
is definitely needed. "However,
it will not even be considered
unless a laree majority of the
students feel they want such an
addition," he said. "Any action
must come from the students
themselves."
A group of students was then
asked to meet and check all pos
sibilities for a Union addition.
The group included Merle Stal
der, Paul Wcltchek, Mary Ellen
Schroeder, Hattie Mann, Jack De
Wulf, Sue Allen. Walter Willi,
Bob Reynolds, Blake Cathro,
Harry Kimbricl, Gene Johnson,
Roz Howard, Cub Clem and Frit?.
Simpson.
Lake was asked to attend the,
meeting and present any infor
mation concerning present Union
finances, recreational facilities
and needs as compared with
Unions of other schools.
First Problem
"First," he said, "an addition
would involve raising the Union
fee of $3 a semester which is
included in each student's tuition
payment." He then presented a
list of 20 major colleges and uni
versities, all of which have Union
fees higher than Nebraska's."
Lake also said that Nebraska's
Union does not have as complete
a recreational program as do
other schools because of the lack
of adequate facilities. "And I
receive requests from organiza
tions for office space every year
which cannot be filled," he said.
The committee decided that a
Union addition would definitely
beneficial to all students and
that a program of orientation
would be undertaken to inform
them of the Union's present and
future needs.
Complete Information
Next semester The Daily Ne
braskan will piblish complete in
formation on Nebraska's Union
plus comparisons with other Un
ions throughout the country.
A plan will then be devised
whereby a poll reaching the
largest number of students pos
sible will be taker. The result
of that poll will determine
whether or not a Union addition
will be constructed.

Members
Jeettion
The Student Council dealt its final death blow to the
Student Court Wednesday by a three-to-one roll call vote.
Only six representatives, three from the Judiciary com
mittee that proposed the Court, voted in favor of establish
ing a student body to hear and try cases of student mis
Students to Pay
Semester Fees
Jan. 23, 24
Second semester registration
fees are payable Jan. 23 and 24
in the Military Science building.
Students with A-L surnames
will pay fees Jan. 23. Those with
surnames from M-Z will pay Jan.

One of the major bottlenecks
of previous years in the registra
tion set-up has been the con
fusion and delay on the drill hall
floor, where students must fill out
personal data and class cards.
Cards in Advance
This year students can pick up
these cards in advance during the
period Wednesday, Jan. 18 to Sat
urday, Jan. 21 and have them al
ready completed before fee-paying
days.
City campus students can ob
tain these cards in Temporary B,
and Ag campus students can get
them from Dr. Hixson's office in
Ae hall. Cards should be filled
out in ink.
According to Assistant Regis
trar Floyd Hoover, the only things
a student need do to complete' his
registration are to claim his forms,
deposit his class cards, and pay
his fees all done on the drill hall
floor.
Open Hours
The Military building will be
open from 8 to 12 a. m. and from
1 to 4:30 p. m.
Adds and drops are scheduled
for Jan. 30 and 31. Course changes
must be first approved by the ad
viser and the dean of th college.
Numbers can then be picked up
in the Love Library lobby.

change sections should see their
department .chairmen beginning

ligion or nationality ..."
Beutel has worked diligently to
re-build the University's , College
of Law since its re-opening at the
eno of the war. Since his resigna
tion he has continued to deserve
his name as "being an authority
on commercial and constitutional
law."
"John Connelly has done i
truly remarkable job as Corn
husker editor. Progress on the
1950 book is about a month ahead
of schedule, and prospects for
top-notch annual this spring are
very bright, due largety to the
editor."
Novak Cited
"Tom Novak is certainly very
deserving or your honor, lie is
undoubtedly the most famous of
all our students at Nebraska, and
as such he is a worthy symbol for
the younger generation. In my
humble opinion, he is without
peer as a center in the entire na
tion . . ."

conduct. Eighteen members mixed
the plan.
Finishing with the court swiftly
after weeks of discussion and de
liberation, the Council moved on
to try to iron out election and
representation portions of the
long-awaited Student Council re
vised constitution. Debate cen
tered on the party system.
Discussion Brief
Discussion on the Court was
brief, but Council members, in at
tempting to bring the subject up
for a ballot, found themselves in
a quagmire of parliamentary pro
cedure. After a complete mix-up on
motions to vote on the Court, to
amend the Court's constitution
and to vote on the question, a
resolution to "accept the idea of
a Student Court based on the
constitution drawn up by the
Judiciary committee" was pre
sented to the representatives.
That motion was defeated.
President Roswell Howard
then relinquished the chair to
move that the Court be entered
in the Council's files to be re
ferred to in the event the Council
is called upon to sit as a student
court. That duty of ihe Council
is outlined in its present con
stitution. The motion passed
with only one dissent.
Breakdown of Vote.
Voting in favor of the Court
were: Louise McJJin, council
vice president; Fred Chael, Judi
ciary chairman; Kay bimmons,
Law association; Don Sterns, In
terfraternity council; Vladimir
Lavko, Cosmopolitan club; and
Mayer Moskowitz, Religious Wel
fare council.
Negative votes were cast by:
Bob Raun, Ag Exec board; Gene
Berg, Builders; Shirley Allen,
Tassels; Bob Parker, Corn Cobs;
Rod Lindwall, Innocents; Jan
Cochrane, Mortar Board; Alice
Jo Smith, Y.W.C.A.; Harry Ken
yon, Y.M.C.A.; Betty Green, Pan

Jim Stoddard, Engineering Exec
board; Herb Reese, N club; Ginny
Guhin, AWS; Janet Carr, Coed
Counselors; Fhyllis Cadwallader,
hold-over member; Norma Chub
buck, BABW; Norma Jean Mey
ers, WAA, and Bruce Kennedy,
publications.
Howard and Military depart
ment representative Al Potter
did not vote.
Elections Debate.
Opening its discussion on elec
tion revisions of the Council Con
stitution, Council members passed
a tentative motion to accept a
party system.
The motion evolved from a
proposal to decide on the desir
ability of a party system and to
decide upon methods of repre
sentation for the new constitu
tion. Discussion was opened by
Louise McDill, election sub-committee
chairman.
Council representatives will
discuss the party system motion
with organizations and vote on
the issue at next week's meeting.
Suggested Systems.
Among the systems of elec
tion presented to the Council for
consideration were: By organiza
tions. The present system, col
leges; all-campus election; pre
cincts; sex-ratio, which would
entail two ballots, male and fe
male; greek-unaffiliated; groups
insured representation, such as
foreign students, and a combina
