Sam Ellis Named 'Outsianding Worker' For 1954-55 the T0 Vol. 55, No. 79 University of Nebraska Wednesday, May 4, 1955 Activities Limitation Snyder Expresses Dislike Of SC Plan General disapproval of the Stu dent Council's plans to limit ac tivities was expressed by Helen Snyder, assistant dean of women in a YWCA question and answer session. Limitation is unnecessary be cause no student is going to dom inate the campus activity scene un less the student body allows them to or votes them into office, Miss Snyder said. The plan overlooks the principle of individual differences such as stamina and the basic difference in goals of people working in ac tivities, she said. The actual problem lies in en couraging activities and not in lim iting their choice of leadership, Miss Snyder added. Miss Snyder expressed confi dence in the principles of the plan, good of the activity, campus and individual, but disagreed with their application. "It is beyond human ability to weigh activities properly as to which should be included and which left out according to their campus significance," she said. No student has such a complete knowledge of all activities she said. The Outside World Talks Hit Snag The Russians threw a snaz into negotiations for an Austrian state treaty, Tuesday, when they demanded permission to retake some S&jxa Iron Curtain refugees la Austria. - - - - The permission is contained in "article 16" which is currently being debated between ambassadors of the Big Four powers in Vienna. Monday the ambassadors approved the first fifteen articles of the proposed treaty, including one providing for Austria's re-establishment as a "soverign, independent and democratic state." The United States is reported against article 16, and the issue is expected to become the thorniest point in the conference. French Support Rumored French officials are reported to have joined the United States in supporting the government of Premier Ngo Dinh Diem in South Viet Nam. Diem's government has had the continued support of the United States, but the French have been backing that of ex-emperor Bao Dai, who has tried to depose Diem. The French had blamed Diem for plunging his country into civil war and clinging to a government which did not represent the people. However, French government sources report that France is now ready to "sacrifice" Bao Dai if his removal would lead to stability. Pulitzer Winners Named Three famous writers were recipients of 1955 Pulitzer Prize awards. Novelist William Faulkner received the prize for fiction with his allegorical novel, "A Fable." The drama award went to Tennessee Williams for bis "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," a play dedmg with the dissolution of a Mississippi Delta family. Gian-Carlo Menotti received the music award for his new opera, The Saint of Bleecker Street," dealing with religion and Greenwich Village life. The prizes are all $500 each. Miss Snyder called the removal of activity limitation from AWS to Student council precedence "re grettable." She stated that the AWS system seems to be more modern and comprehensive. A main fault of the student coun cil is the denial of any kind of appeal to the student, she said. The presence of two bodies which limit activities will result in total confusion, Miss Snyder said. The Student Council should in augerate a system of individual counseling to encourage students to see activities in the light of their personal experience, she added.
