The workshop program will be sight on my part. It simply didn't occur to me to notify the sub-com-ir. ttees," Colbert said. The action is no reflection on the help given by the student rep resentatives. We have welcomed their opinions and ideas and hope that they will keep giving them," Colbert continued. . When asked if the Faculty Senate might be induced to return voting privileges to the students Colbert answered, "I am not going to com ment because I dont know what the opinion of the Senate is at present. However, I do think that support could be found in the Senate for returning voting privileges to the students." Professor James Blackman, Sec retary of the Faculty Senate, said that is was his duty to notify the Student Council and the various committees affected by the reso lution. Blackman said, "The Student Council was not notified of the reso lution through an error on my part. However, they knew of the deci sion of the Faculty Senate because they called twice about it. Blackman stated that the Senate had passed a resolution in 1953 which granted student representa tives the right to vote as an experi ment. The experiment was contin ued by a second resolution in 1954 because it was felt that "the stu dents were doing a good job." Previous to the two- resolutions, faculty members of the commit tees with student representation had acted at their own volition iD granting voting privileges to the students. In the absence of any specific legislation on the matter, students had continued to bold the power to vote until Colberts di rective to the Publications Board. The committers with student representatives which are affect ed by the resoltuion are the Senate Calendar Committee, with two stu dent members; the Commencement Committee, with two student mem bers; the Committee on Semester Examinations, two student mem bers; and the Senate Committee; on Student Affairs, subcommittees on General Organizations, which has two student members; Social Affairs, two student members, and Student Publications, three student members.

Terry Carpenter. Carpenter said the bill would di rect tuition boosts large enough to make up all the money asked by the schools but not recommended by Gov. Victor Anderson. Anderson recommended $3.2 mil lion of the $5.5 million increase the University asked. The four teachers colleges will receive $300,000 of the $1.5 million in crease they requested if the gov ernor's budget is adopted. Senator Carpenter's bill would make tuition at the University $360 and $180 per semester for out oi state and Nebraska 'students re spectively. The bill would double the present tuition of $180 and $90 which students now pay at the University and the tuition at the Teachers College would also be doubled, from $60 to $120 per se mester. Carpenter said his bill would di rect the rates to b the same at the University and the Teachers Colleges. Tuition at these schools should be high enough to encourage some students to attend church colleges in the state, Carpenter sard. Tui tion at the private schools is now higher than at the taxsupported institutions. Carpenter said church colleges in the state could absorb about 2,500 more students with existing facilities. The University Regents are op posed to action by the Legislature that would drastically increase the tuition at the University. The Regents, meeting in regular session Saturday, took no forma action on tuition hikes, but the committee which has been ap pointed to study the matter did convene following the meeting. "egent Clarence Swanson Mon day said that this committee would make a complete study o? the proposed bill within the next ten days, and concurred with Re gent Frank Elliott's earlier state ment that if the tuition is to bp doubled, the Legislature, and not the Regents, is going to have tc do it. "You cant run the Universitj according to the whims of tht weatherman, Regent C. Y. Thompson said. "If the Legisla ture is going to earmark funds, what's the use of having a Board of Regents?' he asked. Regent Frank Foote said that if action is going to be taken, it should be done in the near future by the Regents and not by the Legislature. Sen. Carpenter explained that while the University Board of Re gents and the State Normal Board Vachal onors treasurer of Eta Kappa Nu, hon norary scholastic fraternity in elec trical engineering, and a member of Sigma Tau, national honorary scholastic fraternity in engineering, and Pi Mu Epsilon, national honor ary mathematics society.
