The addition -Authority Delegation: MIS Court System Debated By Coeds A delegation of AWS authority concerning the infringement and court system is under considera tion by organized bouses and house officers. Housemothers and house officers met with the AWS Board Tuesday afternoon to discuss the proposal, which would allow a house repre sentative to campus girls breaking rules, according to rules set down in an AWS rule book and a stand ard guide. More serious or unusual offenses would be handled by the AWS court. House representatives would meet with housemothers to determine whether a girl should be campused, excused or sent to court. The rep resentative would have the authori ty to accept legitimate excuse. "The proposal involves an ad ministrative change, tind would not put house representatives in a hard position" in my opinion, Paula Broady Wells, AWS president, said in Tuesday's discussion. The ultimate decision rests with AWS Board members, but houses are being consulted to allow the board to vote fairly, she said. AWS sign-out committee will still check sign-out sheets, Kay Nosky, AWS vice-president, said. A bouse that continually turned in sign-out sheets without evidence of infringe ment of rules would be subject to some suspicion, she said. Penalties would not be arbitrarily handed out to offenders, she said. AWS desires a more personal con tact with the students, which is not possible due to time shortage un der the present arrangement, Miss JJosky stated. Questions were raised by house officers concerning resentment to ward the representative who would have the authority. Representatives would hand out only mechanical penalties, she answered. All bouses expressed willingness to cooperate with the system, should it be passed. Some houses did voice objections to the proposal on the ground that the present AWS system is effective and respected by women students. "The board feels that the indi vidual woman would feel she knew eiid understood more of various aspects of AWS rules," Miss JJosky a)d. la the past, an AWS ruling has been accepted without question, she said. The board feels that more student comment wuld be an ad vantage, she added. The proposal would elevate the house of representatives to an au thoritative position in the AWS str- Pat Brown Chosen Queen Of Carnival Patricia Brown, suphomcire in Arts and Sciences, has been chosen Queen of the annual King Koro Karaval in Plattsmouth.

They would not be considered as members of the board, Mrs. Wells said. A straw-vote was not taken on the proposal at the meeting. House representatives will meet in the near future to further consider the proposal. "We will welcome any suggestion to improve the porposal, and will work until it is acceptable to the majority of students," Miss Nosky said. 4 - ..Jjmzmizz Hardin Speaks: Dinner Honors 13 For Long Service Thirteen staff members who have served 25 years at the Uni versity were honored at the an nual faculty homecoming dinner Tuesday evening at the Union. New staff members will be in troduced by the deans and direc tors. Chancellor Clifford Hardin was the principal speaker.

Now is the time for higher edu cation to plan for growth and ad justments which are inevitable in the years immediately ahead, Hardm said in his address. Hardin cited these four trends which he said bear upon Ameri can educational efforts, methods, and objectives. Those include population growth pattern; rapid adjustments in liv ing habits resulting from the in creased mobility of the United States population and such devel opments as suburban communities. Also, growing American interest in international affairs and the general realization that trensions cannot be suddenly relaxed or ex plosive problems speedily re solved and the soaring demand for higher education affect education, he said. 'The impending flood-tide of en rollment." Hardin said, "poses a question of particular importance to the public university. By herit age and by law we are committed to the encouragement of bro&d and equal educational opportunity.' Higher education has yielded to demands for specialized training d-sring the past half-century. Chan cellor Hardin said. "The issue is not whether pro fessional training on one hand and liberal education on the other are Builders Builders will hold a mass meet ing Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Union Room 213.

The real danger lies not in the over-production of trained people, but that trained people will not be sufficiently educated to compre hend the value of freedom, and will not be able to recognize a threat to freedom when they dis cover it or know how to defend it when it is under attack," he said. A public university cannot and should not become a protagonist of any religious sect or creed, he said. Neither should there be an Iron Curtain which seals off teach ers and students from the basic principles of Hebraic morality and an understanding of the Christian faith, Hardin added. Universities cannot make their maximum contribution to satisfac tory individual living unless and until both the minds and the souls of their students are stirred, he said.

This committee will work through the office of Student Af fairs where officers of all campus organizations are listed. Members of the committee are Sherry Mangold, chairman, L e n Schropfer, Ken Vosika, Trudy So kol and Bemie Wishnow. Hove explained that the Council will not interfere until there is an actual infraction of the rules. The activity limitation ' rule is not re troactive so persons now holding offices may still -hold them but students can accept no new posi tions which would be in conflict with the rule. In case of an infraction, the per son would have to give up the last accepted position-in other words the one whicn produced the in fraction, Hove said. The rule applies to a list of 24 major campus activities. A per son, under this rule, can be presi dent of only one of these organiza tions.

This requires a weighted average of a 5 for board positions, Kosmet Klub, Cobs and publication staffs. Officers of the covered activi ties are required to have a 5.7 average. The rule to limit activities was proposed in the Council last March and occasioned much heat ed controversy. The rule was proposed after a committee from the Council inves tigated University activities. The committee gried to analyze the re lationship of activities to the total University program. The conclusion of the committee was that there was too much un used leadership potential on cam pus. The rule, in effect, expressed the desire of the Council to increase opportunities for leadership re sponsibility. This rule takes the place of, and ' j expands the coverage of, the for- i mer AWb point system which limited activities for women stud ents. Europe: NUCWA To Hear Travelers Travelers Roundtable will be pre sented at the first meeting of the Nebraska University Council on World Affairs Thursday at 7:15 p.m. in Union Room 313.

Days Numbered Ellen Smith Hall, long a cam pus landmark, will be razed for the construction of an adminis trative wing to the Teachers College Building, University of ficials have announced. Since 1919, the building has housed of fices of the YWCA and the Dean of Women. Ellen Smith Hall was built in 1888 as a private home, costing $40,000. In 1915 it was rented to Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. Dur ing World War 1, the YWCA moved in a canteen for servicemen. Outside World: Nixon, Cabinet Licet By BARBARA SHARP Staff Writer Vice-President Richard Nixon, keeping the wheels of government turning during President Eisenhower's absence, announced that the National Security Council and the Cabinet will meet to consider matter which he termed "of a routine nature." An increasingly important question raised as a result of Ike's absence concerned how much presidential authority can be delegated to Nixon and his aides. Nixon announced that Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr., would attend the Security Council meeting to give an interpretation of the delegation of authority, Brownell, however, said that in view of Ike's "encouraging" prog ress, g may not be necessary for a meeting to discuss the delegation of authority. "There are legal ways and meant to assure the orderly functioning of the government under the Eisenhower policies," he de clared. Dr. Paul Dudley White, "the heart specialist attending Ike, said that Eisenhower "will be much better off to take up some of his duties than to worry over neglecting them while he recovers." Egypt Accepts Russian Arms Egypt informed Britain that she has accepted an offer by Russia to supply her with arms and military equipment, in spite of a plea by the U.S. and Great Britain in New York that there should not be any race to supply arms to the Middle East. The United States, Britain and France have tried to maintain a military balance of power aod to prevent an arms race between the Arab countries of the Middle East and Israel, under a declaration signed among the Big Three in 1950. Although a state of armistice "exists in the Middle East, the Arab countries including Egypt are still technically at war with the State of Israel. ( Ladejinsky Tangle Called Error Denying security clearance to Wolf Ladejinsky, a Russian-born spe cialist on land reform, wss termed a mistake by Secretary of Agricul ture Benson. In spite of the fact that Ladejinsky had bei cleared by the State Department and had worked In the Tokyo Embassy, he was refused security clearance by the Agriculture Department Unt January. Ever since that incident Benson said that his department's aecurUy program has been overhauled. He acMed that newspaper criticism of his decision in the Ladejinsky esse "caused me more concern than ever" about t'.-c Agriculture Department's security program. "I'm sure we have made mistak In handling our security pro gram, but they were bonert and conwientiou isLtoi," Benson iSf.

Student Directory Will Publish Early University Builders plan to have the 1955-56 New Student Directory out earlier this year for the con venience of all students, announced Betty Branch, chairman in charge of the directory. Contents of the directory will be much the same as last, the only changes being the new cover and new location for several sections. Typists will be needed next week to help prepare the text for publi cation. Anyone interested in this work should report to the Builders office at the Union, Miss Branch said. 1 'A Triir" - ' - 'iniiiwriitiNV iffr iriufcn Courtetr Lincoln Star In 1920, the University pur chased the building, and remodeled it. It was first known as the Women's Building, and then re-named Ellen Smith Hall in honor of a registrar of the University, a woman who had joined the staff in 1877 and who served nearly 30 years. Her portrait was hung in the build ing by the class of 1902. The announcement of the pos sible doom of Ellen Smith Hall last year brought protests from some students and alumni. MUM A
