ing to Nancy Tucker, Tassels rep
resentative to the Council.

Kuska Honored
For 4-H Work
By Ag Agents
Val Kuska, agricultural agent
for the Burlington Railroad, was
honored here Wednesday night by
the Nebraska Agricultural Agents
Association.
Kuska was awarded a certificate
of recognition for his interest in
Nebraska extension work and 4-H
work particularly through the
years. ,
The award was presented by
Norman Tooker, Douglas county
agent, at the Association's annual
dinner held in connection with the
Nebraska extension workers.
Wyoming has also honored him,
"for Meritorious Service ,to 4-H,"
for the great interest he had taken
in the 4-H program for more than
25.- years.
The Kuska children Richard
Val, Calvin John, and Janet Ma
rie have had an opportunity to
carry on all kinds of 4-H projects
at the home in the Mt. View com
munity, a suburb of Omaha.
In addition to 4-H activities, Kus
ka also has served on the local
school board and has been active
in civic affairs including the Cham
ber of Commerce where he helped
initiate the pasture forage program.
Queen election, the Council should
take it.
Proposed amendments to the
Tassels constitution were offered
by Miss Tucker, which would give
that group definite control of the
election. Their control over the
election is presently in their by
laws, and not in their constitu
tion. The Tassels would have an open
meeting asking for suggestions,
Breslow said, and would then
present proposed amendments to
their constitution giving them the
election.
"The Tassels should listen with
an open mind," Breslow added,
"which apparently they don't have
any more."
Miss Deepe said that the ques
tion is not if the Council will dele
gate authority on the matter, but
if they have authority.
The amendments to their consti
tution that Tassels will submit to
the Council are:
1. The Homecoming Queen can
didates shall all be junior active
members of Tassels.
2. These girls shall be selected
on the basis on interest and en
thusiasm, service and leadership
to the organization and the cam
pus. 3. All junior actives' names shall
be placed in nomination for Home
coming Queen candidates. The
five girls receiving the highest
number of Tassel votes will auto
matically become the five final
ists.
4. The Queen shall then be
chosen by a vote of the student
body.
"This is our present method, and
we will be glad to insert it into
our constitution if the Council so
desires," Tassels added.
Reasons given by Tassels as to
why they should keep control of
the Queen election were:
1. It has become a traditional
part of the group's activities.
2. Tassels are representative of
the entire campus. All organized
women's houses, as well as unaf
filiated girls, have representatives
in Tassels. ..- ...........
3. Outstanding leaders appear
among the candidates offered by
Tassels.
4. It seems only fitting that the
Queen should be chosen from the
group responsible to large extent
for work and the final success of
many of the Homecoming activi
ties. 5. This is one campus election
Co-ed Regulations:
'Point System' Limits
Extra-Curricular Activity
With the time for campus elec
tions approaching, U n i v e r s i ty
women are asked to keep the ac
tivity point system in mind when
applying for offices pointed by the
Associated Women Students, the
AWS Board announced.
This system, which limits, a
girl's activity points to five, was
established to aid girls by guiding
their choice of extra-curricular ac
tivities. Last year the mainten
ance and enforcement of the ac
tivity point system for women was
out of the hands of AWS and un
der consideration of the Student
Council.
This year, however, it is func
tion of the AWS Board. The point
system was revised last Spring
and the new list of pointed offices
can be found in the 1956-57 AWS
Rules and Regulations booklet.
If a girl acquires more than
the maximum five points she may
either drop a pointed activity or
appeal her case to the Activity
Point Appeal Board.
In considering an appeal case,
the Board is interested in the
girl's overall average, the type of
pointed activity she wishes ' to
carry, whether or not she holds

earned through their own effort
the right to be chosen.
6. It is due to an unusual situa
