procedure Explained'
Council Vote Slated
On Co-op Petition
By DICK FELLMAN
Copy Editor
Facing the Student Council at
the Wednesday meeting will be
the question of whether or not the
Inter-Co-operative Council should
be given an independent, voting
representative on the Council.
Last week, at the Council's meet
ing, petition was presented by
the' ICC requesting the change.
At the present time, there is one
representative elected by the res
idents of the Men's Dorm and the
members of the co-ops at the Uni
versity. According to the" motion
passed at the last meeting, the
question will be voted and decid
ed at Wesdnesday's meeting.
Spring Election
Under Student Council rules, as
enumerated in the Council's con
stitution, an amendment can be
passed only if it is voted on in the
Spring General Election. There are
two ways 'an amendment can get
on the ballot.
The amendment may be submit
ted to the Student Council. If the
amendment passes the Council by
a two-thirds majority vote, the
measure then proceeds to the
Spring General Election.
if the Council defeats the amend
ment, proponents of the move can
circulate a petition, and if the pe
tition has 500 signatures of Univer
sity students, it will be placed on
the ballot of the Spring election.
Representation Questioned
To pass and be finally adopted,
the proposed amendment must re
ceive a majority of the votes cast
in the final Spring General Elec
tion providing that 30 per cent of
the eligible voters vote in the
election. jlt
There is more involved in this
debate, however, than the mere
procedure of getting the amend
ment passed. There is a contro
versy over the philosophy of rep
resentation on the Council.
Generally speaking, there are
three types of representation grant
ed by the C6uncil. They are by
College, by cross-University in
terest groups and by living units.
Tryouts for AWS Coed Follies of
1955 will be held Wednesday and
Thursday nights.
The list will be narrowed to five
skits and three curtain acts. Groups
chosen to compete will perform
Feb. 28 and March i in "Main
street, U.S.A."
Judges for the elimination con
test will be Mary Jean Mulbaney,
AWS advisor and assistant profes
sor of physical ducation; Elsie
Jevons, AWS advisor and assistant
professor of commerical arts;
Morrel Clute, president of Masq
uers. Wesley J. Reist, graduate stu

All Students Represented
All students are represented by
their college delegates. Selected
organizations, chosen because
they perform a function that cross
es all sections of campus life,
have votes. An example of this is
the representation given to Tassels
and Corn Cobs since they are pep
groups that have equal appeal to
students of all types.
The third type of representation
is that given to living units. Wom
en's groups are represented in one
of two waj's. All women, regard
less of where they live, fall under
the jurisdiction of either Pan Hel
lenic Council or Barb Activities
Board for Women. These two
groups, therefore, have voting
delegates.
Among the men's groups, the
Inter-Fraternity Council, represent
ing all fraternities, has one vote.
Currently, the Men's Dorm and
the Co-ops have one representative.
This one man is chosen by both
groups. There are no other repre
sentatives for men's living units.
Defunct ISA
There is one point, though, that
has cropped up through research
on the part of the Council and the
Administration. According to the
Student Council constitution which
was passed by the Faculty Senate
a few years ago, there was provis
ion made for a delegate of the
Independent Student Association or
its successor, designated by the
Student Council. For some reason,
probably a mistake in printing,
this clause -was omitted from
the copy of the constitution current
ly being used.
By interpreting this clause, the
Council could give the ICC the
representation . ,of . the. eiunclJ
iOA BUU VKUUC U1C Ibb VilC VU1J
successor to the independent
group of students. If this were
done there would be no need for
the amendment to the constitu
tion. The decisions facing the Council
may revolve about the theory of
representation, as originally laid
out, and the application of the
Co-op situation to that theory.

votion and loyalty from students."
He has served as guest conductor

has been on the Student Affairs
Committee and an advisor to the
Student Union Board.
The letter nominating Miss Mie-
lenz mentioned her many duties as
"friend and advisor, both official
and unofficial, of all the students
that know her."
"Through her willingness to de
vote herself to causes and prob
lems of students," the letter con
tinued, "Miss Mielenz has become
the devoted friend of countless un
dergraduates." Joyce Lasse is one of the top 10
senior women in scholarship, Red

Excellent Leadership
Student Council president Jack
Rogers has maintained a 7.5 scho
lastic average. He has participat
ed in numerous debates and is
president of Delta Sigma Rho, de
bate honorary, and sergeant-at-arms
of Innocents.
Dan RasdaL vice-president of
Student Council and member of
Innocents, was nominated because
he "has given excellent leadership
and has been fearlessly outspoken
on important questions."
"His liberalism and courage
through his clear and logical writ
ing has made an outstanding con
tribution to free thought at the
University,"" says the letter nomin
ating F. Jay Pepper.

pie have so long speculated about.
No matter from what standpoint
one looks at it political, re
ligious or social jazz has a
greater influence on people than
any other single force."
When asked who was his great
est influence, Brubeck said he had
three. Art Tatum, Duke Ellington
and Darius Milhaud. He also said
his mother and brothers added to
his early beginnings as a musici
an. Changing Goals
As to what goals he has in
mind for his music, he felt that
they change in varying environ
ments sometimes he plays only
to please himself, sometimes to
please and entertain his audience,
but usually he plays with a mes
sage in mind. He looks upon jazz
always as an artist, never as just
an entertainer.
He likes playing for college
groups, and he is a pioneer in the
field of bringing jazz to the col
leges in the United States. He
finds his most intelligent audiences
in places like Boston's Storyville
and Chicago's Eluenote. By "in
telligent" he said he meant people
who knew and appreciated good
jazz, originality and really ""gone"
improvisation.
Understanding Difficult
He was very intent on the point
that these places are better for
jazzmen because the clientelle are
more sophisticated and less eager
for music only as a background.
Contrary to general opinion, he
fells that these places can and do
make profit with jazz, and that
if more "good" clubs were started
both jazz and club owners would
flourish.
Brubeck believes that the only
way to really appreciate jazz is
to listen to i1 listen to swing,
dixie-land, bop, progressive and all
the other branches. He said that
a person can only understand some:
thing he knows and is thoroughly
Rallying cries of "We can do

familiar with. He thinks that a
cognizance of "classical" music
is necessary, but that jazz is jazz
and a separate art form to be
appreciated for its own intrinsic
validity.
Composing Planned
He definitely plans to corrjse
jazz in the future, and ha done
some composing already. His fa
rorit composers are those like Bach
and Mozart who use improvisation
effectively in their work.
When asked to what he attrib
uted his immense popularity, since
jazz as a whole is vastly under
rated, he said .very honestly, "I
do not know."
Brubeck first met Paul Desmond
iu 1941 through the composer Dave
van Kreidt who has written comp
ositions for Desmond in a new al
bum. They started working to

gether ever since.
