Approximately 400 delegates will Activities: Corn Cobs Offer $100 Scholarship Corn Cobs, mens' pep organiza tion, has established and is now offering three $100 grant-in-aid awards, available for use during the next school year 1957-1958,ac-cording to John Nelson, president The awards are available to reg ularly enrolled junior or "senior male students of the University who have a minimum 5.5 cumula tive average. Recipients should le able to show some financial need and must be actively participating in at least two of the following extra-curricular activities: Corn Cobs, Kosmet Klub, Student Council, Daily Ne braskan, Comhusker, Yell Squad, Builders, Student Union, AUF, Red Cross, CCRC, Blue Print, NUCWA, etc., he said. Extra-curricular work of a sea sonal or temporary nature, such as E.-Week, Spring Day, etc., is also included. Work in activities or organiza tions not mentioned above (profes sional, honorary, military, athlet ics, etc.) will be considered in the light of service rendered to the student body and the University as an institution, according to Nel son. The awards are Corn Cob's first effort in the way of financial as sistance to individuals and are unique in that work in extra-curricular acitivites is a basic require inent,Nelson stated. They have been set up both as a median of financial assistance and as a rec ognition for participation in work of an extra-curricular nature. There are many men who are desirous of working in activities who feel that they cannot financial ly afford to do so, Nelson explained. Likewise, there are those who hold part-time jobs and still make a notable effort to do campus work which is not monetarily rewarding.

Dr. Julius Stone: Roscoe Pound Lecturer Discusses Aggression An authority on International law said Monday evening that he felt the task of fixing rule-of -thumb tests for the act of aggression is a "'Vain one, and also one that em barrasses rather than assists the tasks of peace enforcement." Dr. Julius Stone of University of Sydney, Australia, delivered at the University the first in a series of three Roscoe Pound Lectures, under the general title of Aggres sion, in International Law." He then explained that the prob lem of defining aggression has re ceived the attention of internation al lawyers for more than 30 years.' And the latest attempt at the colution came to "another frus trating end in November, 1956, at the 19th meeting of the United Nation's special committee of the General Assembly. He said the committee's failure is noteworthy because at the time it was deliberating the problem: Israeli forces crossed the Gaza and Sinai frontiers to eliminate raiders; the British and French govern ments partly carried out an air born invasion of the Suez Canal Zone; and events occurred which led to intervention of Soviet forces to displace the Nagy regime in Hungary. The Australian professor said that international lawyers in seek- Dr. Van Overbeck is the head of the plant physiology department of the Agricultural Research divi sion of Shell Development' Com pany, Modesto, Calif. An authority on plant hormones, he will deliver lectures Monday through Friday, with a public lecture scheduled Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Bessey Hall Auditorium, on "Plant Hor mones in Agriculture." Dr. Julius Stone, authority on in ternational law, will give' the Ros coe Pound Lectures Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Love Li brary Auditorium. The lectures have the general title of 'Aggres sion in International Law" and the subtitles are as follows: Tuesday, "Obstacles to Definition";, and Wednesday, "The Aggression No tion and the Future of Peace En forcement." The lectures are sponsored joint ly by the College of Law and mem bers of the Pound Lectureship Committee. . Dr. Stone, Challis Professor of Jurisprudence and International Law at the Unversity of Sydney in Australia, is for the current aca demic year Visiting Bemis Profes sor of International Law at har vard University. He is the author of eight books, several of which are .concerned with international law. Owrtesr Sandy Journal and star sents an auditorium will not be included in present building plans. Any construction on cam- pus depends on the continuance of the one-fourth mill levy, the school said. ing a definition must first find a verbal means of distinguishing in advance between that use which may be justified (legitimate self defense) from that use of force which is to be condemned and re pressed as a supreme crime. ' "'Such a delimitation is not al ways easy to make, even as be tween individuals within a socie ty," he pointed out. Dr. Stone doubted that an ad vance set of criteria for defining aggression was of major import ance for the system of peace en forcement under the United Na tions' Charter. ' He pointed out that the vast le gal powers of the Security Council and such powers as the general assembly may have in this re gard can all be activated under Chapter VH by any "threat to the peace, or breach of the peace" as well as by an act of aggression." "Obviously, the difficulties of bringing home a charge of aggres sion, however defined, are far graver than those involved in proof merely of a 'Threat to the peace' or 'a breach of the peace.' "Either of these more modest holdings would give ample powers . . for collective enforcement or peace, so far as a definition can give such power." Cloudiness To Continue: Rain In Sight Considerable cloudiness will con tinue to prevail over southeast Ne braska, the weather bureau said. LocJdng into the five-day fore c a st, the weather- man has pre dicted for NU students rain and snow about Thurs day bringing from .10 to .20 inches of pre cipitation in the western portions to J25 inches east. Temperatures for the period will average from three to eight de grees below seasonal norms. Nor mal highs are around 62 and nor mal lows near 35 degrees. Tem peratures will be warmer the mid dleof the week, colder Thursday and Friday and warmer over the weekend, the 'bureau said. Hill Named Chairman Dr. Roscoe HiH, chairman of the Department of Entomology, has been named chairman-elect of the North Central States Branch of' the Entomological Society of America. Hill will serve as chairman of the group in 1959. It is composed of entomologists from 13 north central states. By BOB IRELAND Newt Editor The Faculty Senate Committee on Committees will recommend to the Senate Tuesday a change in the present procedure of selecting student representatives on Faculty committees. In a special report to the Sen ate, the committee on committees will suggest that "the Student Council will nominate to the Chancellor two students from the student body. . Jrom which nomi nees the Chancellor may make the necessary appointments." The current method of selecting student members on faculty com mittees calls for the president of the Student Council to make the selections subject to the Council's approval. Donald Dysinger, professor of psychology and chairman of the committee explained Monday that the recommendation in no way limits student representation but rather is concerned only with es tablishing a definite policy. Dysinger stated that his group is studying each faculty committee and its membership separately and will make further reports. Further recommendations that the faculty committee on commit tees will make today include: (1) The Committee on Student Affairs be dropped as a Senate Committee and be re-constituted as a University Committee on Student Affairs, in accordance with the By-Laws and Rules of the Board of Regents. (2) The present committees on Commencement and Honors Con vocation be dropped as Senate Committees and re-organized as a University Committees. (3) The Senate Committee on Committees be required to de fine to the Chancellor, on his request, the areas of responsibil ity of these University commit tees as well as the membership of each; and make nominations of faculty members to 1 va cancies on such committees in the same manner as senate com mittees. (4) These University Commit tees shall be directly responsible to the Chancellor, but shall make an annual report to the Univer sity Senate for . informational purposes. In a letter to the Student Coun cil, which was read on March 13 by President Bruce Brugmann, Dysinger requested the group "for mulate a suitable procedure for nominations" of student repre sentatives on faculty committees. Dysinger went on to say that there was "some sentiment among the members of the committee 7 that students serving as voting members of the Senate commit tees should represent the entire student body." Brugmann, in a prepared state ment, stated in the March 15 issue of the Nebraskan: "Authority for the Council to , appoint its members (a well de- ' fined cross section of Univer- , sity students) to the student- ; faculty committees has been es- I Five Receive Funds Charities Thank AUF In Appreciation Letters Letters of appreciation have been received by the AH University Fund from the five charities to which AUF donated the funds from the 1956 drive, according to Art Weaver, AUF president. The charities are World Univer sity Service, which received 25 per cent of the total amount; Ameri can Cancer Society, .United Cere bral Palsy, Lincoln Community Chest, 20 per cent each and Lan caster School for Retarded Chil dren, 10 per cent. Peyton Short, regional secretary of WUS, said that in view of the overwhelming enthusiasm for Hun garian Student Relief this year, the AUF funds will help maintain a balance of responsibility to the needy students in other parts of the world. "Once again your funds will be channeled throughout the colleges and universities of Asia, Africa, the Middle East and still in part of Europe in such a manner as to meet the basic needs of student and faculty members," Short wrote. "I am sure AUF knows of the fine work done to halt the plague of Cancer by our organization, Myron Weil, treasurer of the Lin coln Cancer Fund, wrote. "Contri- to carry that work forward. The letter from United Cerebral Palsy stated that the work of the Association is a never ending one. It is through the generosity of AUF and others like it that UCP will con tinue to meet the challenge and perhaps someday conquer the un- tablished by many years of pre cedent and the Council Constitu tion, approved only a few years ago by the entire student body, the Faculty Senate and the Board of Regents.

At that time Chancellor Clifford Hardin called the situation "so serious that I do not wish to com ment until I have had an oppor tunity to meet with the Board of Regents." Monday, the Daily Nebraskan contacted several faculty mem bers for their opinions on (he pro posed cut. . N Frank Hallgren, Associate Dean of Student Affairs said, "It's a very critical situation. You catch me unawares because it is not a situation with which I deal."

James Blackman, Associate Pro fessor of Engineering Mechanics and Secretary of the Faculty Sen ate, stated, "I dont have much of an opinion about it because I dont know much. I am sure if the University is cut short we will have difficulty carrying on at our present level." "I am very concerned about our legislative situation right now. I hope that the students won't take an antagonistic view of our legis lature," Blackman continued.

LeRoy Lasse, Professor of Speech and Chairman of the De partment, stated, "I dont know if il makes any difference what we faculty people think. It is a very serious and damaging blow to tb University." William Pfefler, Professor of Germanic Languages and Chair man of the Department, stated, "If the real workings of the Uni versity and its problems were real ly known; if the need were seen, I would cot doubt that the repre sentatives of the people of Nebras ka would support our work."
