Thert are four formal dinner

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.

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."

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-

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."
