This fact, long rumored, was made official Thursday but, the College Days board hastened to add, the action was just a post ponement until many technical problems could be cleared up. Plans now call for college JJays next year. . It .is too bard, board members explained, to plan for a College Days presentation while so many difficulties remain. State ac ceptance of high school migra tion, University faculty support, clear definition of College Days purposes and objectives and co operation by the student body as a whole are listed as major problems. The present board, under the general direction of Bob Keichen bach, is divided into three com mittees designed to clear away these problems and leave the path for future College Days smootn. These committee, student interest, constitution and high school, ha,ve produced some important results The first draft of the consti tution, a campus interest survey and a conference' with the di rector of the Nebraska High School Activity association have been reported by the board. .The constitution, which Reich enbach expects to submit to the Student Council this month, out' lines the purposes and principles of College Days. The primary principle, accord ing to the constitution, is to pre sent a picture of academic life as it Is lived at the University. It is a secondary purpose to present a component picture of he other sides of University life. Hill Gives Ideas To Build Powers Of UN Assembly Six suggestions to enlarge the powers of the UN General Assem bly were offered to NUCWA members end model conference delegates by Professor N. L. Hill of the Political Science depart ment Wednesday night. The following suggestions, Hill said, would almost com pletely eliminate the Security Council and with it, veto power. 1. Give the General Assembly authority to admit new members to UN with a two-thirds vote. 2. Allow the General Assembly, by two-thirds vc to decide which of two claimant govern ments get the seat of a member nation. 3. Let the General Assembly set up a committee which could send groups to any part of the world for information desired at any time. 4. Amend the amendment proc esses to provide for final ratifica tion by two-thirds vote of the General Assembly only. This would eliminate a clause calling for ratification by the General Assembly including the perman ent Big Five nations. 5.

The first portion of the pro gram included Bach's "Prelude and Fugue in C Minor"; "Ron do," by Mozart; the "Trout Var iations" by Schubert and Franz Liszt's "La Campanelia." The Prelude" was played in a lively tempo, as Mozart Intended it to be, and the four pianos sounded as one. The set continued with Schubert's "Trout," with it's haunting theme.

These letters are an attempt to test the actual student support for the program. At the recent Candidate Officers , Election, this committee passed out College Days . questionalres with the ballots. The questions were: Do you think College Days should con tinue? If so, should it be of in terest to high school students, : University students or both? Should open houses be included? Should the program be educa tional, recreational or both? The results of this poll will be released with the results of the present poll of campus organiza tions. Last year, Relchenbach ex plained in reference to the high school committee, prep students were not allowed out of class to come to the University because of a ruling by the NHSAA. The committee, he said, ex plained in conference that Col lege Days was planned to congre gate the many different reasons for high school migration to the University into one time. This year, according to Rerchen- bach, there has been ho actual objection but the NHSAA has strongly suggested that all activ ity for high school students begin Friday afternoon. The idea of presenting a pic ture of the University to the public has not been given up, Relchenbach said, it is just be ing molded into a workable arrangement senting resolutions before the , conference begins were outlined by Pat Allen. Resolutions should be placed, in writing, in the NUCWA box, Union by Thurs day, March 27.
