Poge 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Tuesday, March 10, 1953 fast Between Us... By DON PIEPER Editor From the "Bulletin Board," faculty newilet ter: "Chancellor R. G. Gustavson hag received complaints of the misuse of University automo biles during ihe past few months from State officials and from members of the Legislature. Most of these complaints have been concerned with the operation of University automobiles at rates of speed eonsiderably In excess of State laws. The Chancellor expresses the hope that staff members wilt exercise good judgment in the operation of University vehicles in the in terest of safety and In compliance with laws establishing speed limits on the highways." . The Daily Nebraskan is holding a safety campaign. WORLD REPORT t6davs headlines Secretary of State John Foster Dulles told a news conference at the UN Monday that he thinks this should be issued to the faculty during our campaign. It certainly gives us chance to look up from our stories on the recklessness of youth ful drivers and point a critical finger at the faculty member driving 70 odd miles an hour down a state-patrolled highway. It is interesting to won-' that Stalin's death will Increase der what would happen if a Safety were to stop a state employee for a violation of the highway laws. It should never happen If anyone should be careful at the wheel, and everyone should, state employees from the gover nor to the math instructor certainly ought be the leaders. It seems significant that an announcement like your driving. There is a safety pledge on the front page and anyone may sign student or instructor. Read over what the pledge says and see how much it would help if everyone in the state would de cide to abide by the principles It sets forth.

The two councils consist also entirely of jun iors and seniors. House presidents and alternate representatives, usually juniors and seniors, com prise IFC, while elected sorority representatives, "usually although not always juniors and seniors, make up the Panhellenic Council. The Council appeared to sympathize with Pan hel and IFC, but apparently nothing could be done to remedy the situation either this year or next. One suggestion, that the constitution be ig nored until it could be amended, was immediately vetoed by the Council. (See editorial in Thurs day's Nebraskan.) The only other method of changing the provi . sion, which requires all organizations to elect jun ior representatives, is to amend the Council con stitution. But, as Elections Chairman Linscott pointed out, passage of an amendment would take at least two years. The two provisions which prevent any amend ment from affecting the 1953 and the 1954 gen eral elections are these: 1; "Proposals for revision or amendments shall be submitted before the end of the first semes ter for action during the school year." (Thus no amendment can be introduced for a vote at this year's election.) 2. "Proposals for revision or amendments to the constitution shall be voted on at the general election." (Thus the 1954 general election is the first opportunity students will have to consider proposed amendments.) In other words, the election rules of the con stitution will remain intact for at least two years no matter how unfair they may be. Perhaps when the Council considers proposals for amending the constitution, it should first ex amine the possibilities for eliminating some of the red tape surrounding the amending process.

Actually, AWS is an administrative agency of the women and of the administration. It carries out the suggestions of both. It would behoove all campus women to search out the facts before helping to select the new AWS members and offi cers. The same thing goes for Coed Counselors. Freshman women know the value of this group already. The way we impress our new students is vital to the University, and the Coed Counselors are very important in this field. Members of the Woman's Athletic Association and the Barb Activities Board for Women are choosing officers too.

But, on the whole, they deserve a real campus salute. D.P. NU Culture There was culture in the Union Ballroom Sun day and it was home-made. The 70-place University symphony orchestra responded to the direction of Emanuel Wishnow's baton and the result was an hour and a half of excellent music excellently presented. It is encouragalng to know that there are mu sicians at our university with 'such highly de veloped talents. But, then, it is not unusual be- j cause we have a very fine School of Fine Arts J The really encouraging aspect of the Sunday per-j formance was the crowd. The Ballroom was overflowing. $ Symphony concerts, performed by our own mu sicians, are appreciated. The Nebraskan hopes that someday the School of Fine Arts will find that such concerts have to be held in the Coliseum. D.P. Texas May Adopt Our Sen. Butler (EDITOR'S XOTK . Thli editorial .p.

Fair under the Exec Board.) There has been quite a oit of comment lately about the so- diction of the Ag Exec Board. It is within the power of the Exec Board to undertake, by amend ment, the change mentioned. iThe last and, I think, weakest argument I have heard suggests that, the-clubs on Ag campus have so many spring activities that they cannot spend time working uaan .,hmJHHV fn th Ao f.vpc n the Fair.

At the fact, I think we can forget the "m?' term "new proposal". Let's look at the first argument which has been presented. It has been said that an old tradition would be lost under this system I would like to point out that the tradition is the Fair itself not the Board. The Fair would still be presented in the traditional way, and I can see no loss of tradition with the loss of the Farmer's Fair Board. Another statement has been made to the effect that each club represented on the Ag Exec Board would be charged with the responsibility of one phase of the Fair. I have never heard such a suggestion made, and I am sure that this would not be the case I would personally be opposed to such a system if it were ever pro posed. A third argument which has been offered questions the con stitutional ability of the Ag Exec Board to undertake such a re vision. My answer would be this Farmer's Fair Board, as well there are three major organizations which are re sponsible for the Fair. First, there is the Rodeo Club. Secondly, there is the Farmer's Fair Board, which coordinates all phases of the Jurisdiction over the afore mentioned organizations and which would be held equally re sponsible in the event that some thing diseased rodeo stock, etc. under the new system, there would be only one organization repsonsible for co-ordination of the various phases of the Fair Ag Exec Board. There would be set up within the Board a Farm er's Fair Committee, which would plan the activities of the Fair in the same way that the Farm er's Fair Board does now. Then the entire Ag Exec membership, through the club which they rep resent, would be resDonsible for obtaining help on the fair. This would be done through personal contact. As the As Exec Board. under the new constitution, is as representative of the student bodyj as possible, it seems to me the IT'S THE RULE Downs Go To The Dean This Week By KAY NOSKY Start Writer Students are spending more than the usual amount of time this week on studying, and all for a very good reason. Six week tests are with us, and inevitably the list of downs will be sub mitted to the dean of student af fairs at the end of the week. If a woman student receives a down for four or more hours, she will, be requiaed to stay in her organized house after 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. This remains in effect until the house chaperon receives another list of downs at the end of the follow ing six weeks or until the down is properly removed. Downs may be removed by, first, seeing the instructor to de termine whether the down is re movable. As soon as the student has done what is required to re move the down, he must have the removal recorded with the dean of students affairs in the Ad ministration Building. Finally, women students must have the removal recorded by the dean of women in Ellen Smith Hall Smith Hall and filled with their house chaperon. Students with four hours of downs may attend Universlty sponosred functions by obtaining special permission. Special func tions not sponsored by the Uni versity may be attended by re ceiving permission both from the AWS Board and the dean of women. In both cases, the student will be required to stay iri after 8 p.m. ideal orffarmatinn tn enntaM iha f,SJ!fy ..!i:-Ueie f.?!;" (Fair is an all-college event and Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

I would like to point out here mat Farmer's Fair Board is a fairly important political group. Coll-Agri-Fun Board is not so im portant politically. It seems to me that most of the arguments against the new system could be applied to Coll-Agri-Fun Board, but I have heard nothing which would indicate that anyone cares what happens to this latter group. If a person is arguing entirely upon principle, shouldn't he include every organization which would be affected by this change? The fact that Farmer's Fair Board is the only organization which has been mentioned would lead me to believe that there is somethingl If a student has a job which conflicts with 8 p.m. hours, she must see the dean of women for special arrangements.

I personally believe that both campuses are too highly organized, and I think that this is one ease in which a partial remedy' can be applied.
