Recommendations to limit the
number of a student's activities
and to raise grade requirements
for activities were adopted by the
Stvdent Council Wednesday.
The Council Judiciary Commit
tee also reported it had given to
a faculty committee a student pe
tition seeking to abolish Student
Council secret balloting.

for a 5.7 minimum grade average
for officers of major campus ac
tivities, and a 5 minimum average
for board members or for
bers of organizations of the nature
of Kosroet Klub or Tassels. There
would be no restrictions on workers.
Activity Limit
The second recommendation sug
gested all students except fresh-
men be limited to two major ac
tivities and no person be president
of more than one activity at any
time.
These suggestions were made be
cause the committee believed stu
dents should concentrate first on
scholarship, and that much student
potential was not being tapped be
cause of monopolization of offices
by certain students.
The Council approved the Spec
ial Activities Committee's recom
mendations by a 23 to two vote
and will now consider means of
implementing these policies.
Art Raun, Judiciary Committee
chairman, reported that bis com
mittee had been presented a pe-
ition requesting the Council to
amend its constitution so that
"secret ballots will not be allowed
except at the annual election of
officers." The petition also stated
that if this amendment is not
passed by the Council, It is to be
put on the ballot' in the general
election this spring

The Judiciary Committee recom
mended to the faculty group that
the petition be rejected because
the matter should be in the Council

Faction Dissatisfied
With Council Action
Representatives of the AD Uni

dissatisfaction with the Student

cision regarding the proposal to
eliminate the use of the secret
ballot in Council meetings.
"The Faction is 100 per cent be
hind the amendment," Bob Ander
son, AUP representative, said. "I
instigated the petition and brought
it to tbe Faction. I asked for and
received a unanimous vote of con
fidence. "
Anderson said he thought it
would be proper for him to sub
mit his views "as a sort of minor

committee.
Faction representatives said
they considered themselves an
"extra-legal political party."

ommended that the Council recog

i
ToLimiiaiion
Murt Pickett, chairman of the
Student Activities Committee of the
Student Council, said about 93
of the 170 students questioned by
her committee felt there should be
some kind of limitation of campus
activities.
Most of the students, she said.
felt a minimum grade average was
the most important limitation to be
established. Most opinion on this
varied between 5.5 and 6.0 for of
ficers, so 5.7, the all-University
average, was selected by the com
mittee as the minimum for officers.
Most of the people questioned
were in activities, although faculty
and administration people were
also questioned. No freshmen wore
questioned. The Student Council
committee then weighed survey re
sults with their own judgments.
Miss Pickett said she felt that
there seems to be a trend toward
scholarship at tbe University. Sen
iors especially, she said, feel that
more of their time should have
been spent on themselves, on study
ing, or becoming cultured, and
they feel too much time was spent
on activities.
A lot of people interviewed felt
there was an overemphasis on In
nocents and Mortar Boards. Miss
Pickett said that some people "rise
above" this urge to become Inno
cents and Mortar Boards, but some
others are influenced and pres
sured greatly by it.
The reform had to start some
where, she said. "Nebraska is one
of the most highly organized activ
ity campuses.
"Naturally there will be some re
sentment, but perhaps there wont
be as big a blow-up as I expected,"
she said.
Miss Pickett felt her committee's
decision would develop more lead
ership, and will enable exceptional
leaders to concentrate their abili
ties on fewer activities.
The Student Council committee
felt that it shouldn't limit partici
pation in professional groups or
honoraries, so the activities limited

All University Fund
Support Withdrawn
From UMOC Election
The All University Fund will no
longer sponsor the Ugliest Man On
Campus competition.
This decision was reached at
Thursday evening's AUF Board
meeting. The Board voted unani
mously to cease sponsorship of the
annual event and pass it on to any
organization that desires to spon
sor it.
Andy Smith, AUF president, said,
"We of AUF feel that UMOC has
outljved its usefulness as to AUF's
ultimate objectives. We cannot
reconcile the purposes of the UMOC
election and the purposes of our
organization."
"We hope that UMOC which has
become a University tradition will
be sponsored by another campus
organization. Smith said. "This
move was made partially in ac
cordance with criticism which has
been leveled at AUF, but also be
cause the AUF Board believes that
our purpose of service to our Uni
versity community and other peo
ples can best be achieved without
the use of UMOC."

The Outside World'
Red China Warned
By DICK RALSTON
Staff Writer
The Senate again told Red China in effect to keep its bands off
Formosa in approving a mutual defense treaty with Nationalist China.
The voting, 64-6, reflected tbe near unanimous approval of President
Eisenhower's request for permission to defend Formosa less than two
weeks ago.
Tbe six who voted against the treaty were able to delay approval
only six hours, claiming that ii "increased the danger of World War
in," and that it "ties our hands" in trying to obtain United Nations
action for a cease-fire. The treaty pledges United States aid, in
accordance, with constitutional procedures, to defend Formosa, the
Pescadores and "such other territories as may be determined bf
mutual agreement."
Defense Vorks Razed
Chinese Nationalist forces have blasted and burned a maze of
underground defense works' on tbe Tachen Islands, as the evacuation
is moving into its final phase. Civilians have already been removed
and most of them have been relocated on Formosa.
Nationalist sources say that evacuation has been completed oa
three outlying islands, the Yu Shan group and Pishan. A garrison
will be maintained on Nachisan, 80 miles south of the Tachens, although
all civilians will be removed.
