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

Council for eventual implementa

Also the Council appointed the
Spring Days committee and plans
were laid which should eventually
perpetuate this activity into an an

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.

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."

The rules of registration are:
a student may not schedule more
than three-fifths of his classes on
Monday, Wednesday or Friday

to see that students registering
first do not take all available space
in classes at those times.
Students not registering this
spring, or not completing their reg
istration, may do so in the fall be
ginning September 11. Students
complementing their registrations
on May 20, 21, or 22 will be billed
for fees about August first. Sum
mer session students will pay fees
on June 11 in the east reading
room of Love Library, according
to Mrs. Laase.
Students who wish to register for
a closed class must see the head
of the department in order to get
