Iowa Jury
Says Bednasek
Not Guilty
Robert Bednasek, charged wi'.h
the strangling of Margavet An.ie
(Gee Gee), Jackson in a Univer
sity of Iowa off-campus rooming
house Dec. 11, was found inno
cent Wednesday.
The acquittal means that the
jury accepted the defense stand
that the pretty co-ed's death was
a "tragic accident." The four
men and eight women," who
reached the verdict after 12
hours of deliberation, decided
against the state's theory that
the co-ed's death was "cold, cal
culated murder" motivated by
jealousy. .
Bednasek himself had ap
peared confident even before he
received word of the verdict.
Sheriff A. J. Murphy said that
he had to awaken Bednasek to
give him breakfast, so soundly
had he slept.
Court Scene
Although the courtroom was
only half-filled, it was taut with
emotion as the verdict was
passed. Shouts arose from the
spectators when the verdict of
innocent was read.
After embracing the defense
attorney and shaking hands with
each juror, Bednasek went into
the law library where his Sigma
Phi Epsilon fraternity brothers
were waiting.
One juror stated that 15 bal
lots were taken before the final
verdict was decided. District
Judge James P. Gaffney had
given the jury a choice of four
verdicts first-degree murder,
second-degree murder, mm
slaughter or acquittal.
Commenting on the trial after
announcement of the verdict, the
judge said that it had been con
ducted on a "fair and impartial
basis."

The plan, calls for the forma
tion of four committees, a repre
sentative of each to be a voting
member of the Council. The
committees are: Student spirit,
religious affairs, activities and
orientation and university im
provements.
Student Spirit
Student spirit committee will
coordinate plans for homecom
ing, plan rallies, plan for migra
tion,, evaluate seating arrange
ments in Coliseum and Stadium,
select cheerleaders in conjunc
tion with other members selected
by the Innocents, plan campaign
for good sportsmanship, and pro
mote relationships with compet
ing schools, and carry out related
functions.
Activities of the religious af
fairs committee will include the
sponsorship of religious discus
sions, and studies of comparative
religions, organize religion and
life week, and plan Lenten and
Christmas services in conjunc
tion with the music department.
Functions of the activities and
orientation committee include
coordination of orientation pro
gram, the enforcement of men's
and women's point system, as
sistance with the formation of
the social calendar and related
activities.
No Time
. The Council did not have time
to discuss the fourth committee,
University improvement, due to
the. constant lpk of cooperation
on the part of an extremely small
proportion of the Council mem
bers.
' As outlined by Louise McDill
in her plan, however, the func
tions of the committee would be
scholarship; teacher rating, ex
aminations, cheating require
ments and evaluation of require
ments and electives and the
honor system. A division of the
committee, University campus,
would promote campus beautifi
es tion. recognition signs for the
university and building projects.
A third division, stuont-fac"'-'
relations, would coordinate with
the faculty for University im
provements. The principal difficulty which
faced the Council last night, in
addition to the continual quib
bling by certain members, was
the problem of representation on
these committees.
Biblical Easter Reading Tells
Story of Crucifiction of Jesus
The Easter Story from the Bible ',
And when they were come to the place, which is called
Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors,
one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
' THEN SAID JESUS, "Father, forgive them; for they
know not what they do." And they parted His raiment,
and cast lots. And the people stood beholding. And the
rules also with them derided Him, saying, "He. saved
others; let Him save himself if He be Christ, the chosen
of God." And the soldiers also mocked ELm, coming to
Him, and offering Him vinegar, and saying, "If thou be
the king of the Jews, save thyself." And a superscription
alst ras written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin,
and Hebrew, "THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
. . . .... ...

hanged railed on Him, saying "If Thou be Christ, save
Thyself and us." But the other answering rebuked Him,
saying, "Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou are in the
same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive
the due reward of our deed: but this man hath done
nothing amiss." And he said unto Jesus, "Lord, remember
me when Thou contest into the kingdom." And Jesug said
unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be
with me iii paradise." And it was about the sixth hour,
and there was a darkness over all the earth until the
ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the. veil of
the temple was rent, in the midst.
AND WHEN JESUS had cried with a loud voice, he
said, "Father, intoYThy hands I commend my spirit:" and
having said thus, He gave up the ghost. Now that the
centuries saw what was done, He glorified God, saying,
"Certainly this was a righteous man." And all the people
that came together to that sight, beholding the things
which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. And
all His acquaintance, and the women that followed Him
from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
AND BEHOLD, there was a man named Joseph, a
counsellor; and he was a good man, ard just; (The same
had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he
was of Arimathaea, a city of the JeWs; who also himself
waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto
Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. And .he took it
down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre
that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was
laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath
drew on. And the women also which came with Him from
Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how
nis body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices

NOW UPON THE FIRST DAY of the week, verv earlv
in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, brineine

with them. And they found the stone rolled awav from the
sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of
tne ix)rd Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were much
perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood bv them in
shining garments: and as they were afraid, and bowed
down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, "Why
seeK ye uie living among the dead ? He is not here, but is
risen: remember how He spake unto you when He was in
Galilee, saying 'The Son of Man must be delivered into
the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third
day rise again.' " And they remembered His words, and
returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto
the eleven and to all the rest It was Marv Maedalene. and
Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women
that were with them which told these things unto the
apostles. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and
they believed them not. Then arose Peter, and ran unto
the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen
clothes laid by themselvas, and departed, wondering in
himself at that which was come to pass.
