Now that the dust of the Student Council elec
tion has blown over and the new representatives
are ready to step into their seven-league boots,
the student body can expect some real action
from their legislators.
Today the council will meet and select the of
ficers for the coming year. And the Daily Ne-,
braskan admonishes the members to pick wisely.
During the next year as we have pointed out
In the past weeks the council will be expected
to make some major decisions and these decis
ions will stick around the campus long after the
present council has left.
In the first place, the council must contend
with the Faculty Senate action to deprive stu
dent members on faculty committees the right
to vote on those groups.
The council will be faced with taking the stu
dents' approval of the tribunal to heart and will
have to polish it into an active and forceful
instrument to be presented to the Board of
Regents.
These two burdens alone would be enough to
concern the Council for the coming year.
University students whose interest in educa
tion hat been more than just subjective will
mourn with the entire state of Nebraska the
death of Chancellor A. Leland Forrest of Ne
braska Wesleyan University.
Dr. Forrest had been with the staff of Wes
leyan since 1951 when he was named Dean of
the College. He was elevated to the chancellor
chip of our sister institute of higher education in
1953 when Dr. Carl Bracy accepted the presi
dency of an Ohio college.
Dr. Forrest's philosophy of education was that
the college should serve the community and the
region in which it exists. And in keeping with
that train of thought the educator expanded the
cultural and physical plants of his university.
A widely read author he was a member of
Phi Beta Kappa and an active civic leader in
Lincoln land.
Nominations are again open for "Outstanding
Nebraskan," recognition rendered each semester
by the Daily Nebraskan to one senior student
and one faculty member for outstanding service
to the University.
This award, if it can be called such, is the only
encompassing recognition offered by a student
organization to worthy recipients The Daily
Nebraskan feels that persons doing service to
the school while enrolled here, or in teaching or
administrative capacities should be given tribute
by the students.
The qualifications for nominations for 'Out
atanding Nebraskan" are based on service. This
can be rendered in any capacity academic,
activities, government, athletics, administration.
Consideration is given to a person's loyalty and
Intense and honest interest to the institution and
what it stands for.
Persons honored in the past have served the
University in countless ways. Some were ath
letes, some teachers, others were outstanding in
campus leadership through activities. Each of

Outstanding Nebraskans
Now when the Daily Nebraskan approached
the new members of the council on their views
concerning the Tribunal following the election
many of the new members did not respond
favorably.
They said that they had not studied the tri
bunal charter, that they hadn't any real views
on the subject. This is appalling.
We hope that by the time they begin their
work they will have studied the charter as ap
proved by the students; that they will be ready
and willing to make decisions intelligent de
cisionson the subject
With the increased enrollment expected at
the University, the council will inevitable have
more work to do. But first things first.
And today being officer election day the first
order of business should be to pick men and
women for the top posts who know what the
council should be doing.
The Student Council is not just an activity; it
is a solemn responsibility. And being such the
new members have a great deal of work to do
before they can serve their constituents favorably.
An intellectual community is only as strong as
the people who compose it. And Dr. Forrest's
vigorous progrfms for his school cannot belie
the fact that he was interested not only in his
own university but also in the entire intellectual
atmosphere of our state.
Those of us who have come in contact with
either Dr. Forrest or the products of his college
deeply appreciate the service he rendered to his
community. We will not soon forget the chal
lenge he offered to young people to be not only
adults but adults who are educated in the ways
of the world and the ways of his church.
And so the University can offer the Nebraska
Wesleyan University our deep condolences that
they have lost a fine leader.
We trust that the sister college will keep him
in memory for many years and emulate his ex
ample of sound Christian leadership.
cause of each the University benefited, and was
a better school because of that individual's ef
forts. Basically, the bestowing of an "Outstanding
Nebraskan" title on a student or faculty mem
ber honors that individual. He or she is being
given the tribute earned by service to and in
terest in the University. This is only fitting.
But in another sense the University itself is
being honored. Recognition of top persons in the
University community reflects favorably on the
institutions, both in the individuals themselves
and in what they might have done for the school.
The Daily Nebraskan is proud to sponsor this
recognition. When worthy persons are so hon
ored a certain amount of justice is being done,
as often prople tend to forget their benefactors
and prefer to relish in the good that has been
done.
Nominations are open in a short time two
more "Outstanding Nebraskans" will take their
places in the legion ef persons whose Cornhusker
spirit is one of the very vital foundations of
this University.

months ago was an Alfred Hitch
cock specialty In which a saboteur
was killed by the Statue of Liberty,
for crying out loud. The movie
was made during the war, and it's
incredible in retrospect that peo
ple did not walk out in droves
when they saw this nonsense.
I suppose that every Steve on
campus is being troubled, as I
am, by the rash of "Hi ho, Steve
rino." Catch phrases, which usual
ly indicate a paucity of ideas, are
annoying to me. Don't you people
have anything else to talk about?
Probably everyone ,who gives a
damn is expecting me to . come
out in favor of the "Culture Week
end" which was proposed some
days ago in the Letterip column.
However, I can't find myself in
sympathy with what looks superfi
cially like a good idea.
The greatest trouble with the
intellectual state of the average
student is that he associates cul
ture with the women's club liter
ary tea sort of thing. And wom
en's club literary teas are among
the most trying experiences one
can go through; both the conver
sation and the hors d'ourves are
dry.
The more we isolate the humani
ties from humanity by limiting its
appreciation to one weekend in the
year, the more we will condemn
art, literature and music to the
unhappy apathy ' which currently
is a substitute for appreciation.
If I have learned one thing from
the "cultural desert" squabble, it
is that no one can force education
on anyone else. It will come; don't
force it.
One notes a nervous stirring
among the level-headed, wrong
thinking element on campus. Re
lax, boys; the first rush of spring
fever is over, there probably
won't be a panty raid.

To the Editor:
The students have overwhelmingly
approved a tentative charter for
a student tribunal on this cam
pus. And yet the charter contains
little if any I real power.
Before the charter is presented
to the Board of Regents for ap
proval the Council committee which
drew it up ought to seek the coun
sel of interested students around
the campus. If so much power
would be given to the student
body through this instrument of
democratic rule then the students
should have a more direct voice in
the planning and drawing of the
charter.
I am inclined to believe that the
charter in its present form has been
softened by its architects in order
that it might pass the eyes of the
Regents and go into effect as
rapidly aa possible.
I can see the benefit in such
a maneuver. And yet I can see
the downfalls in such a move
ment too.
For example, the tribunal would
be responsible to the office of
student affairs. And the charter
states that the tribunal would be
given its cases at the discretion
of the Dean of Student Affairs.
It would not be daring to say that
that same office might reserve the
"juicy" cases for its own disposal.
And this is perfectly legitimate.
- The while tribunal is aimed at
giving the students more power
in regulating their affairs. It seems
reasonable that the students would
appreciate an opportunity of doing
just that.
But no matter whether we need
to be herded about is not the ques
tion. A select group of students
would soon take matters into its
hands if the tribunal ever was giv
en any real power.
I am inclined to doubt that the
Regents would pass such a char
ter. They might pass this one for
they can well see is is powerless.
Here's hoping the Regents will
examine the charter and tell the
committee which presents it to re
examine the purpose of a tribunal
and redraw a charter which has
some guts in it.
I trust that the new council will
take this charter to heart . and
probe deeply into each article,' sec
tion and paragraph to serve the
students. After all, any good ad
ministrator knows that a pawn in
the hand is worth two in the Un
ion. Concerned.
To the Editor:
With the issuing of next fall's
schedules, a certain amount of
controversy is bound to result.- In
my extimation one of the great
et blunders has occurred as a re
sult of the eight day exam period.
Upon observation of the final
exam schedule for next fall, one
discovers that between Wednesday
and Saturday a hideous problem
can and undoubtedly will arise.
The most popular time of day for
classes is between 9 a.m. and 2
p.m. It should now be noted that
classes meeting during this period
on all five week days are to
have all their final exams in
this four day period (from Jan.
22 to Jan. 25.) N
This means that the average stu
dent will have about six exams in
this period and a good possibility
of seven or eight, (for Navy ROTC
also has their exams during this
time).
This Is entirely too much. If
