They declared that such ceilings would result in a "meat famine" and asked that they be removed without delay. The price order will become effective a week from Wednes day. The formal resolution said that the OPS order has already re sulted in the marketing of live stock by producers before their cattle reach their best market able weights. The committee said that the net result will be a reduction in meat production and a ".severe meat famine in the United States." Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper (r.. la.) said that the new order, rolling back the price of beef, is resulting in a "glut on the market now."

The play opens with Egypt and Ethiopia at war. Aida, the daughter of Amonasro who is King of Ethiopia, has been captured and made a slave t the couit of Egypt. Most of the tory revolves around the love of of Radames, general-in-chJcf oi the Egyptian in Business Administration be cause she wanted to be able to run a ranch even more effectively and profitably. At firet, as I said before, she had scholastic diffi culties. But later she -developed into a much better than average student. She was a oonsciencious student. But while she was paying at tention to her books, many inen wore paying ouite a bit of atten tion to her. Intridontly, he was considered to be 'darn good looking." And since she was the only gill in ome of her business courses, she received plenty of notice. Elliot remarked that he used to like to make her blush during class periods.

Bill of Rights The Council heard Delores Lovegrove, Ruth Sorenson and Kathryn Dill present a Bill of Rights to be amended to the con stitution. The three students proposed the amendment as a result of a conference on human rights which they attended. The specific articles of the Bill of Rights which were suggested as an addition to the proposed constitution are: 1. Protection of all University students from discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, nationality, sex or religion. 2. Protection of all University students from administrative fac ulty or Student Council interfer ence in matters not directly re lated to the University or its functions. Individual Merit 3. Right of application for the University based solely on indi vidual merit. 4. Administration should pub lish a report of specific limita tions on the liberty of students. 5. Democrats methods of stu dent government. 6. Right of every University student to free study. 7. Right of every University student to free press, speech and assembly. 8. Right of every University student to defend himself. 9. Right to redress of griev ances to every University stu dent. 10.- Student Council is to act as the protector of the rights of all students. It was brought out by various Council members and faculty members H. E. Smith, H. P. Da vis and Miss Mary Mienz, that the Bill of Rights would be repe titions of nationaL state and city documents similar to it and that it would be usurping power from the administrative persons and bodies of the University in matters regarding student con duct, etc. Sorenson's Ideas Miss Sorenson emphasized that she was interested in having the Student Council use the Bill of Rights as an amendment to their constitution, recommended it to the proper University authori ties or proclaim that they are in agreement with it. Rob Raun, president of the stu dent governing body, pointed out that the Council has no jurisdic tion over such a Bill of Rights. He said, we are operating under specified power from the Board of Regents and as such, cannot take it upon ourselves to enact legislation of this sort." The matter has been referred to the present judiciary commit tee, to be worked on by the new judiciary committee. The group will attempt to clarify to the Council the specific University policy In regard to the Rights set forth in the bilL Hold-Over Members At their meeting next week. Council members will elect six hold-over members from the juniors in their body, to serve as Council members next year. From these hold-over members the new president, vice president and judiciary committee chair man will be elected at the next meeting. Eleven Juniors are pre' ent Council member.

This one, however, didn't aeera the least bit perturbed when he walked Into his class room to find that he was a stu dent again. One of the sopho more boys had taken over. The boy, upon seeing the in structor enter, embarrassedly climbed down from his perch on the desk In the front of the room. "Oh no!" protested the in structor. "Stay up there! I am gratified when my students show their self confidence," Even more embarrassed, the student resumed his original position. He made an announce ment, pertinent to all the mem bers of the class, and concluded by saying that all assignments in the course were cancelled to the end of the year. The last part was too much.
