"Graduates stand a good chance of getting the month they specified within quota limitations," said Capt. Robert S. Law, associ ate professor of military science an tactics. Graduates will serve two years active duty and six years inac tive reserve. Vol 55, No. 83 Short Exam Period Faculty reaction to the recent Faculty Senate decision to limit fi nal examinations to one week has resulted in the majority of the fac ulty in Agricultural College being in favor of the decision, and those in Teachers and Arts and Scienc es colleges being opposed. Other colleges, ' such as Busi ness Administration, seemed to be fairly well devided in their opin ions of the action. Dr. Leslie Chisholm, speaking for Dean Frank Henzlik of Teacher's College, said that he felt there had been a general misinterpretation of the Teachers' College's attitude toward the Senate action. "The majority of the faculty in Teachers are opposed to changes of the Teachers College's attitude in the semester exam schedule," said. "That has been their position all along," he added. Chisholm stated the main objec tion to the change was the disrup tion of the Teachers' College pro grams. He said he doubted wheth er it would have a major influence, but felt it would inconvenience many faculty members and stu dents involved. , He said that only ten members of the Teachers faculty were pres ent at the Senate. Since it was-a special meeting, he said, some didn't know about it. Dr. William Lambert, dean of the College of Agriculture, said that "our people feel that the pro fessors are putting entirely too much time in exams." He said that most of nis faculty find such Student-faculty Committee To Select Outstanding Nebrashans Of Semester Outstanding Nebraskans for sec- ond semester will be announced in the May 27 edition of The Nebras kan. Two persons are to be selected, one a faculty member and the other a senior student. Nomina tions will be accepted in The Ne braskan office any time until May 24. The primary basis for selection is outstanding service to the Univer sity. The faculty candidate must have served two years as a Uni versity staff member or graduate student previous to selection. The requirement for students is that they be regularly enrolled in the senior class. Committee In past years, the selection of the Outstanding Nebraskans has been handled by paid staff members of The Nebraskan.

The treaty declares Austria "sovereign, independent and demo cratic' It allows Austria an army as large as she likes and permits Austrian entry into the United Nations. However, Austria must make no pacts with Germany and is not permitted to return to German property holders any assets worth more than $10,000. Austrian borders are restored to their position prior to Hitler's invasion in 1038, and she is relieved of any responsibility for the war. The treaty becomes legally valid after it has been ratified by the parliaments of Austria and the Big Four. No difficulties are expected and ratification should be accomplished by the end of the summer. Occupation troops wU! pull out within 90 days or by Dec. 31 at the latest. Adenauer Party Wins Elections in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate gave Chan cellor Adenauer a strong vote of confidence for his pro-Western and rearmament policies. Adenauer's Christian-Democrat party won an absolute majority in the state parliament, which in turn will boost his control over the upper house of the federal parliament. University time "hard to justify." Lambert said that a great deal of the two week exam period was not being utilized, students spend ing large parts of it for vacation ing and recreation. This, he added, has been the view of the Agricul tural College for several years. The Agricultural College's fac ulty, Lambert said, definitely- fa vors the change. No reaction to it has come to his attention. He said that the Ag College did not spon sor the recent motion in the Fac ulty Senate. "We had a fairly good representation at the senate meet ing," he commented. A third reaction to the shortened exam period came from Dr. Walter Militzer, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Militzer said that he thought "most of our fac ulty is against the shortened ex am period.' Militzer said there were three reasons for this feeling. He said it cramps professors having large numbers of students in their clas ses. If instructors have to grade in a hurry, he said, they will shy away from essay questions, "which most feel have considerable value. Lastly, Militzer said that most instructors feel that final exams are important parts of the course. He said that he didn't feel the move necessarily meant a lower ing of standards; "it will vary with the individual instructor." But it will, he continued, make it hard er than ever to conduct large classes, already a burden on fac ulty members. The new set-up, Militzer said, selection committee composed of faculty and students will be chos en by the Nebraskan to select the Outstanding Nebraskans. Personnel of this committee will be an nounced at a later date. Nominations for Outstanding Ne braskan may be sent to The Ne braskan in the Union basement and should be written in letter form Parts of the .letter may be used in The Nebraskan but the name of the person making the nomin ation will remain confidential. Letters should include informa tion concerning the nature and length of service, recent outstand ing accomplishments and positions or activities.

Signed RALSTON B7 u of Nebraska dfcira will provide about one more week of recitation time which may be used for exams in class and may prove valuable. He didn't think lab oratories were "particularly cramped by the present system." Some professors contacted said that they felt the Faculty Senate's action on exam period was too has ty, since it had been so controver TC Runoff Rita Jelinek Elected By 2-Vote Margin In a special runoff election Mon-two day, Rita Jelinek, sophomore, was named the third Teachers College representative for Student Council.
