the Tribunal:
"The proposed Student Tribunal
Charter has been endorsed by
nearly two-thirds of the students
voting at the election. This over
whelming endorsement is hearten
ing to those who have urged the
adoption of the tribunal foi a year
and a half. The mandate of the
student body has been given again
to the Student Council; it is now
obligatory for the new Council to
gain acceptance by the Board of
Regents for the Charter next fall.
With this acceptance the Tribunal
can become an operating instru
ment of student self-discipline next
year and once more prove the qual
ity of student responsibility in stu
dent government."
The charter will now go back to
the Council for final draft and then
to the Board of Regents for final
approval.
The Student Tribunal has been
under consideration for some time
by the Council Activities commit
tee. This idea of forming a Stu
dent Tribunal was first presented
to the students in the Student
Council elections in 1956, when they
voted in favor of the general plan.
This year after the proposed char
ter was unanimously approved by
the Student Council, the specific
charter was then approved in tha
election yesterday.
The Tribunal will still be greatly
controlled by the Division of Stu
dent Affairs which will have th
final say on action taken and pun
ishments levied. The Tribunal will
only recommend a decision to that
body and will also only act on mat
ters that the Division of Student
Affairs refers to it.
vid Fellman, professor of political
science at the University of Wiscon
sin and former University staff
member, will speak on "The Cen
sorship of Books."
A native of Omaha, Dr. Fellman
received his Bachelor and Mas
ter's degrees from the University in
1929 and 1930 respectively.
The main topic discussed was
the five-year Ford Foundation
grants totaling $1,725,000 to 30 uni
versity presses. W. McNeil Lowry,
rector in the humanities and
arts, described the purposes of the
program which is expected to en
able the college presses to publish
at least 250 more books during the
five-year period.
New phases in the university
publishing field were also discus
sed, including expanding field of
subjects being explored by univer
sity publishers and new experi
ments in paper-back book series.
Ed Watkins of the University of
Michigan Press called the profes
sion of college press publishing re
warding and described the aim of
most subsidized university presses
to become independent and self
supporting through their own pub
lishing activities.
Monday, Thompson Webb Jr.,
of the University of Wisconsin
Press spoke on "Activities of the
Donaldson of Yale University Press
discussed "The Eastern Group."
