Museum Identifies Artifacts Several bones, unearthed about a month ago from deep under the farm of Lee Fink near Page, have been identified at the University State Museum. , Lloyd Tanner, associate curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the museum, said the bones are an es timated four million years old. Tanner said the bones, badly damaged, were parts of a three toed horse, fossil deer, land turtle, a cat-like animal and a rhinoceros. He said the bones are damaged by the drill, Fink was using to drill an Irrigation well when the bones were discovered at 180 feet. Some of the bones were damaged so much that about 75 of the frag ments could not be Identified, Tan ner said. In explaining the unusual concen tration of bones, Tanner said that possibly at this spot there was a river bed or water hole where sev eral of the animals died. He added that this was a long time before man was around. tffE : : : : : Pat Prouty, Kappa Kappa Gam ma sophomore in Arts and Sciences from Lincoln, to Will Else, Delta Upsilon junior in Business Admini stration from Fairbury.

Basoco Gives Mathematician Artist Qualities A creative mathematician was like.ned to an artist Thursday eve ning by Dr. M. A. Basoco, profes sor of mathematics at the Univer sity. Speaking to the monthly meet ing of -Phi B e ta Kappa, national scho lastic society, Dr. Basoco said a mathe matician works in a similar at mosphere. Con siderations of an essentially aesthetic na ture enter into his j U d g- Courtesy Lincoln Star ments, he said. Dr- Bc , "Questions of simplicity, sym metry, order, harmonious relation ships, all play a role in this think ing." He explained that at the turn of the century there emerged a point of view which regards mathematics as a purely formal system; "an abstraction which by itself, with out interpretation, says nothing about the empirical world." Dr. Basoco continued: "The axiom systems relevant to a particular bit of mathematics may be looked upon as inventions of the mathematician. There are inventions very much in the sense that art may be regarded as the invention of the artist: as creations rather than discoveries. "The imagination of the mathe matician, guided by aesthetic con siderations within the frame-work of logic, is the source of these creations which constitutes modern mathematics." TTENTION SENIORS!

Faculty (Present fote Gplfflioffls The Faculty Senate Committee on Committees today will consider a Student Council resolution re questing that students on faculty committees be allowed to vote. The Daily Nebraskan has asked a cross section of University (fac ulty to present their opinions on the subject and the following are some of the comments received. J. Phillip Colbert, Dean of Stu den Affairs and Chairman of the Faculty Committee on Student Af fairs: "This matter was discussed at ttie last meeting of the Commit tee on Student Affairs and the gen eral feeling was that particularly on committees where students vote. The Committee passed a res olution to that effect. " "However, the curx of this mat ter, I think, is not that students aren't capable of voting but where the responsibility lies. The Faculty Senate is responsible to the Board of Regents and the Regents are responsible to the people of the state. Student are responsible to no one and could not be held re sponsible for their actions. This is probably the primary consider ation, involved." Ken Keller, Assistant Director of Publio Relations and Public Relations Department represtative on the Publications Board: 'I think that voting student membership on the Publications Board is desire able for these reasons: 1) The student publications, Rag, and Cornhusker, are essentially stu dent enterprises. In the case - of the Rag, for example, students are assesed wtien fees are paid for the support of the paper. This, it seems to me, is one good reason why the studen body should have -voting tions." ' - v "3 ) Experience has shown that student members of the committee have demonstrated that they have the ability and the interest to serve committee. In the selection of staff members 'of the Rag and Corn husker, the knowledge and opin ions of the student members are especially helpful." i Robert Knoll, assistant Proffes sor of English: "Since the students have been voting on the com mittees on which they sit for the past several years, it seems to me that the student request to legiti matize the custom is hardly revo lutionary. I can see no reason why they shouldn't have the vote." Mrs. Ruth Levinson, Assistant Professor of Physical Education for Women: I expect to speak in fa vor of the resolution when it comes to the floor of the Senate." Walter Wright, Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences: "I don't like to comment on things unless I've been present when the proceedings took place. We have two representatives on my com mittee, the Commencement Com mittee, but by the time we actual- 1 it 'i "j Ever-popular handy UM packs! America's fastest-growing King . . . largest-selling Regular filter. Tuesday, March 1Z, ly vote, everything nas Deen pretty weu nasnea over ana we . jiave never been divided. So whether or not the students vote is irrela vent." Herbert ' Davis, Professor of Dairy Husbandry: "We've al lowed the students to vote on the Subcommittee on Student Organiza tions of which I was the head and I'm ia. favor of extending tye vot ing right." Herbert Bates, Associate Profes or of Chemical Engineering: "I am in favor of it. It seems self-evident that if the students are mem bers and take part in committee work, they should be allowed the vote." , Mary Jean Mulvaney, Assistant Professor of Physical Education for Women: "I think they should have a vote because the University is for the benefit of students and at college level, students should be mature enough to have reason able judgement and should be able to express adequate, opinions on matters "that pertain to their wel fare." Helen Snyder, Assistant Dean of Women, "I am in favor of it. My experience on the Subcommittee on organizations has convinced ma that students' are able to make a fine contribution."
