Supervision, Representation: Year's Student By GARY ROGERS Staff Writer The work of the Student Council in the past year, menial and rou tine sometimes, certainly contro versial at other times, has never theless included many worthwhile and needed contributions to the student welfare and th-s advance ment of student interests on cam pus. , As the students' representatives, this governmental body has three areas of responsibility: (1) the rep resentation of the students on joint student-faculty committees, (2) Su pervision of other student organi zations in procedure of constitu tions and elections, and (3) repre sentation of the student body in other matters of interest. Acting in the student interest the Council has, in the past year, con ducted many major projects, in cluding the Student Council's assis tance in attempt to gain the pro posed budgetary increase by pass ing a special resolution in support of the proposal, discussing the situ ation personally with Gov. Victor Anderson, appearing before both the Education and Budget Com mittees, conducting a special tui- i tion survey, and investigating a I campaign in which student delega- ! tions contacted virtually every j senator in the State Legislature; a J Courtesy 8an4y Journal and Star well-known e d i t o r of text books and supplementary materials for use in schools and colleges, ac cording to Dr. Henzlik Dr. Geort Benjamin, associated with . , , , .'eaooay Allege tor leacn- ers, wrote the widely-quoted lec ture entitled "The Saber- Tooth Curriculum." One of his I many recent assignments of na- tional importance was that of head-1 ing the committee in charge of re-1 construction of teacher education ' of Korea. Dr. Ford has served as Editor in Chief of a large textbook pub lishing firm, the John Winston Company, and as administrator of a large division of Temple Uni versity. Among the other featured lec turers for the summer session are: Dr. John Furbay, director of Air-World education, TWA; Mari lyn Link, executive secreatry of the Link Foundation; and Gill Rob Wilson, editor of "Flying Magazine," according to Dr. Sor enson. (Dr. Robert Backer, one of the i too organLts in the country will present a recital at St. Paul's Methodist Church at 8 p.m. July 8, Handy said The Union will also sponsor tours of the Omaha .Offut Air Base ! every Wednesday afternoon.

Also the Council appointed the Spring Days committee and plans were laid which should eventually perpetuate this activity into an an nual all-University event. The Council conducted an orien tation session for the officers of all student organizations in the fall. The session was designed to give the officers a fuller understanding of their respective duties and the relationship of their organization to the Council. The Council, in its weekly meet ings each Wednesday, hears com mittee reports, makes recom mendations, and enacts legislation. These meetings are open to the student body. In its annual committee reports, the Council listed its activities and proceedings for the past year, by committees these aje: Judiciary committer Tha judiciary committee ap- LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Debate: Legislature To udlget The Nebraska Unicameral will begin debate this week on the pro posed budget for the 1957-59 bien nium. The budget proposal con tains a $1 million cut in Governor Victor Anderson's request for $3.2 million dollars to operate the Uni versity for the next two years. Chancellor Clifford Hardin origin ally requested $5.5 million. In an article published Monday morning in the "Lincoln Star," hope was advanced that recent good rains throughout the state would make the state's legislators more receptive f - the University's requests. The article stated, "Indi cations are that a lenient attitude, if it can be called that, may be shown for four state pgencies re ceiving cuts at the hands of the Budget Committee." Senator Harry Pizer, who along with Senator Otto Liebers has sub mitted a minority budget commit tee report calling for the gover nor's recommendation with regard to the University to be met, com mented Tuesday. "You don't know what is in the minds of the other committee members. You know, I made the comment once that now that the rains are coming, I suppose they'll start screaming for flood relief." Until now, Governor Anderson lias taken the position that because of the drought this should be a with 13 hours Wednesday atter year to "hold the line" .on the noon from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., all budget.

Constitutions returned to organi zations by the committee include: Women's Residence Halls, Ag YMCA, Amateur Radio Society, RAM. Other decisions of the Judiciary committee include: The handling of Homecoming Queen elections by Tassels was declared unconstitu tional, organizations which did not submit constitutions for Council ap proval must cease operations until a constitution was submitted on this basis, the University Young Republicans were ordered to de sist in their operations until a con stitution was submitted The committee ruled that the constitution, though providing for the replacement of other mem bers, does not provide for the re placement of senior members. The committ:s also reviewed the constitution of Corn Cobs and, though feeling that the organiza- j tion was not providing a democra- I tic method of onicer selection, . withheld submitting it to the Coun- j cil because the organization was This Week his budget, which is designed to do this, "the most popular thing I've dene in my political career." Budget Committee recommenda tions up to now have zealously fol lowed the governor's advice and have even gone farther in some respects. However, recently the senators have been showing little sympathy for the governor's requests to cut special levies or eliminate them entirely.

(2) The Committee drafted a plan for the selection of students for the Spring Day Committee. (3) The Committee conducted an investigation of a student book exchange which was adapted by the Student Council.

The rules of registration are: a student may not schedule more than three-fifths of his classes on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings. The reason for this is to see that students registering first do not take all available space in classes at those times.

Students complementing their registrations on May 20, 21, or 22 will be billed for fees about August first.
