To the Student Council,
In reference to your letter cf May II, stating that:
Whereas: It is recognized that at the University ot Nebraska, cheat
ing on examinations is sometimes very lightly regarded, and
Whereas: lit must be admitted that organized houses must show a
good amount of responsibility for this behavior by their faijure
to discipline and influence their members, be it therefore agreed
that the below signed groups resolve to in every way possible
prevent the members of (their organization from engaging in
cheating.
We the undersigned houses, after careful consideration, feel that
we have been asked to carry an unjust share of the responsibility for
cheating and examination stealing that has been prevalent on this
campus.
We recognize our responsibility as members of the stuftnt
body to discourage cheating on examinations. Only in the connota
tion suggested by the wording of the letter are we in "disagreement.
The principle it suggested we will do our best to support.
We do not belive that organized houses, as a whole, can be held
at fault for the irresponsible actions of a few members. The very
essence of the greek system is to develop good citizens m-ho will
abide by the moral code of the society in which they live. It is
entirely inconsistent with our beliefs to suspect that we may have
fostered cheating, as has been implied by your letter.
We pledge our support to the Student Council's eamoaien aeainsrt
cheating, but we Vill not and can not assume the major portion of
the guilt

Class Elections . .
Today members of the sophomore and junior classes
will elect their officers for the coming school year.
The election is unique in that four officers will be
elected for each class. It's been a good many years since
this has happened, and students should be glad that the
old rule of electing only one officer has been by-passed.
It is obvious that the reason for including four officers

treasurer offices. The number of voters m past elections
"has been very small compared with the entire student en
rollment. The expanded programs of junior and senior
classes as indicated by this year's activities will undoubtedly
include many more students next year.
Every student should have interest enough to vote
for the candidates whom he thinks should take the leader
ship in next year's programs.
Interim Council II . .
Today, formation of the second interim Student Coun
cil will be initiated. All hopes for an all-University elec
tion for the student governing body have been abandoned.
Time has run out for action on the constitution drawn
up by this year's Council.
Once again, student government will be in the hands
of representatives of campus organizations. By action of
the faculty committee selected to oversee the Council's plan,
six Tiold-over members from this year's Council will work
with delegates named by secret written ballot from the
membership of fourteen campus groups. The committee
will hear requests for additional representation next fall.
Obviously, the Council will be the family's baby but,
Judging from the members of the first interim Council, the
students of this campus will be represented by classmates
sincerely interested in the welfare of the entire University,
people who will work consistently and conscientiously for
real student government. An acceptable constitution one
that fihould serve Nebraska for years to come should be
the result of the new body.
Based on expressions of student opinion throughout
the year, the representation by organizations jJan is not
the popular plan for student government. Eut the method
is expedient and efficient.
This year's Council has accomplished a great deal.
In addition to work on the Council constitution, the group
yAayed host to a Big Seven Student Council convention, set
a limit on band prices for University dances, issued parking
permits, supervised elections, studied constitutions, checked
numerous campus activities, created a summer activities
group, selected publications "board members, supervised the
student migration and rallies, investigated freshman orien
tation procedures and seating arrangements at football and
basketball games, discussed a student court, campaigned for
better examination set-up to eliminate the cheating prob
lem, in addition to varied other administrative duties.
4 The charge of a ""do-nothing" Council is obviously un
justified. In fact, though hindered by the pressing problem
tjf formulating a new constitution in the distasteful position
of an ""interim" Council scrutinized at every move by the
faculty and students, the group has met considerable
success.
Throughout the year, the Council members have fought
long and hard for the rights of the students, have cam
paigned for powers commensurate with the responsibilities
of a student governing body in a large University, and have
sought to achieve, at the same time, workable faculty-student
relations.
A the new Council takes over as the ecnnf3 interim
"body -It is expected that they will carry on that task. Their
jsope, ana ours, is that the students will not lose faith.

'Today I thought I'd skip the
records since this is the last col
umn for the year to say good
bye. In my short life I've enjoyed
doing a lot of things, but none
quite so much as writing thin
column.
When e guy is asked to write a
column about something he
knows little about it puts him In
kind of a tight spot. All 1 know
is what sounds good to me But
that's about the way it is with
most people. They listen to what
they like.
I think the Important thing is
to keep liHtenlng. Music is a won
derful thing as you all know. It
can transport you to the heicht
of joy or the depths ef melan
choly. What I'm trying to say is
whether you like Baoh or Be
bop, listen to it, and love it.
Here, I'd like to make some
acknowledgements to the people
who make it possible for me to
write this column.
First to the people who read
it, I think there are some. It is
you whom I've tried to please
and appeal to. You were what
ever inspiration this column re
quires. Second, to those patient people
J nthe music stores who devoted
their time to awmiting me in find
ing something mew rvery week
to write about.
Third, to The Dally Nebrssksn
and its siaff for letting me clut
ter up their paper with said -column.
But, last, and most tit all. to
those people who criticized me.
and brought about any improve
ments which might have been
made.
So long for now, and keep lis
