Council Issues For Activity Constitutions The Student Council Student Activities committee issued a final warning today to campus organizations which have failed to hand in their annual report due April 1. All active campus groups were requested to submit the com pleted forms to the committee for the Council's yearly check of or ganizations. The forms were mailed during March to all active clubs on the Council's records, calling for in formation from the groups on requirements for membership, number at members, initiation fees, dues, special assessments, officers, headquarters, purposes, aims and activities. Annul Check The Student Council constitu tion provides for the annual check on organizations by the student governing body. Groups which fail to comply with the Council's directives can lose the privilege of campus recognition and all rights and opportunities of active organization. Student Activities committee chairman, Gene Berg, announced that the following groups have not yet submitted their reports. He said that the forms must be sent to the committee by Wed nesday, April 26.

Fourteen organizations have replied to expansion committee letters asking support in favor of the fee increase for the Union addition. The letters sent Monday ex plained in particular the condi tions of the Union and the situa tions of inadequate facilities due to a drop in value of the pres ent Union fee during the past few years and the slight margin of enrollment increase above pre war levels. The present fee, the letter pointed out, is actually worth less than 50 per cent of what it was 12 years ago. Replies have been asked of every organization on campus honorary, business and social. Each organization was in formed of the facilities consid ered for the city Union and also for the Ag Union, which includes a multiple purpose lounge and dance floor, meetings rooms, fountain facilities, ping pong area, billiards, television, music lounge, etc. The increase in .fees which would be included in each se- New Actives Of Corn Cobs Announced Men who qualified to serve as active members of Corn Cobs, men's pep group will be initiated into the organization tonight at a banquet at the Lincoln hotel. Selected on a competitive basis, the initiates were the high men according to work hours and sales. Corn Cob workers sold copies of the '50 Cornhusker, N books and N flowers at the foot ball games. Work hours were attained thru atte -dance at games, rallies, set ting up the card section, painting posters and assisting at the homecoming activities. An honorary member was chosen for the first time in many years. Donald Chang, a senior student, was elected to the organ ization because of his continued hard work and service to the or ganization, according to Rodney LindwalL president. Chang plans to attend Michigan law college next year. New initiates are Jerry John son, Richard Hovendick, Jack Cohen, Del Kopf, Vern Davidson, Charles Burmeister, Donald Kux hausen, Richard Walsh, James Kirschbaum, Charles Widmier, Gene Johnson, James Downey, Eugeoe Robinson, George Schantz, Leonard Bush, and Harold Myers. CoL C. J. Frankforter, faculty advisor, will be the guest speaker at the banquet tonight. James . Peterson Identifies 'Hush' James F. Peterson was an nounced winner of this week's Campus Closeups contests, as he correctly identified BarDara Young to be the owner of the mystery voice. As a prize, he will receive from the Union one free 'crib" each day for a week. Peterson was one of several persons entering the correct name on his ballot. A new mystery voice record was put in the Solatone players today, Wednesday, for the ensu ing week. The voice belongs to a University coed who has been heard at several campus func tions, as well as over local radio stations. Anyone may enter the con test by securing a ballot with each "crib" purchased in the the Union. This weeks' personality, Miss Young, is a freshman in Arts and Science college. She sang "In the Still of the Night," with the Dave Rose orchestra in the berkground. Dutch Meyers acts as an nouncer on the records. mester registration payments would amount to $3. The letters emphasized that not only was the fee necessary to allow ex panse for both TJn'ons, but was e.ential to continue a de sirable status of operations in view of the recent enrollment decreases. Organizations supporting the increase so far are: All University Fund, Townt Club, Sigma Chi, Phi Mu Al pha Sinfonia, Beta Si?ma Psi, Tassels, Innocents society, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma De'tr. Tau, Zeta Beta Tau, Kapna Sima, U of N Builders, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Chi ..iega and Delta Tau Delta. Mentioned in addition to the present Nebraska situation were the conditions of Unions in other parts of the country. A survey of schools all over the nation show Nebraska in the bottom ten per cent as far as Union fees are concerned. It was also 'stated that the Nebraska Union is retiring debts for both the City and Ag Uiiions. The committee revealed in earlier reports that several mid western colleges and universities incluaing five with the same en rollment as Nebraska bwe un dertaken recently large building programs to provide additional facilities for entertainment and service purposes. Those schools are: Michigan State, which recently completed a $3 million structure; Oklahoma University, which began work last fall on a $2,500,000 addition; Iowa University, which recently approved the $3 million addition now under construction; Colo rado University, which okayed a $2,500,000 addition; and Ohio State, which sanctioned building bids for a $5 million Union building. Kerchiefs on Sale Publicizing 'Fair' Farmers Fair neckerchiefs have hit the market! On sale in the Ag Union, the brightly colored scarfs are selling for 20 cents.

Hand-made, by the Amikitas, Ag barb group, the kerthiefs are western style, lettered "Farm ers Fair '50. They are available in green, blue, red and yellow in cotton percale. Useful n both advertising the Fair and in promoting Ag cam pus spirit, the neckerchiefs are sold annually at Fair time. The Fair is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 26-29.

This question is now in the minds of most students vith the drive for a Union addition underway. The answef is probably most completely given in the outline of proposals drawn up by the Union expan sion committee of 20 students. Three Catervries Three categories ipecifying various additions considf.-ed by the committee as essential to adequately equip the present Union, are given. The categories include the facilities set forth as equally important. They are: recreational, cultural and serv ice. These facility needs, according to the committee, are important enough to be given immediate consideration, in order that the Unicn building may meet the present service needs of the campus. Great strides have been taken throughout many of the nation's colleges and universities to improve Union conditions. Recreation Considered as most important in the recreational set-up which would b? provided in the ne addition are: (1) Bulling alleys end supple mentary facilities. (2) Properly equipped billiard room. (3) Ping pong room with min imum of eight tab!es. (4) Game room equipped for leisure time table g?.mes.

Also provided would be television, and limited refreshment service This area also could serve as a cemmuttrs' lunch room during the noon hour. Seen as most essential in the cultural enrichment - facilities plans a.iv: (1) An informal recital -reception room. Studio design with small stage for piano and instrumental recitals, broadcasts or coffee fcrums. Wall arrange ment designed for art displays and seating approximately 150 people. This could also be equip ped with record player, installed speakers, and piped for televi sion reproductions. (2) Wall inset display cases al- lg corridors for exhibiting art Uand'craft and departmental worlu. Service Facilities Service facilities, which the committee believes should be es tablished as soon as possible are: (1) Fountain service with more adequate facilities to re place present Crib, properly de signed f6r efficient operation and expandable service. An adjoin ing outdoor terrace could be in corporated for use when weather condi';ons permit. (2) Multiple purpose conference-dining rooms arranged as a unit of six with expandable par titions. Each area to accommo date meetings of approximately 35. (3) Student organization of fices and file room arranged as units of small offices with con ference room adjoining each uit. (At the present, the Union has 27 requests on file from or ganizations desiring office facili ties.) (4) Suitable offices and ser vice area for Union activities this could be arranged as a suite with inner office for activities director, outer office for activi ties committee headquarters and a small conference room adjoin ing.

Scholas tic points may be earned by re quiring an average for initiation or living in- the house, and for the house having no more than 5 percent downs during a six weeks period. According to Norma Chubbuck, BABW president, "The board has long felt that there is a need among independent women to emphasize activities and partici pation in campus events. We hope this award will provide the incentive for more active partici pation in events such as Home coming displays, and the. Estes and Penny Carnivals by inde pendent bouses."
