What We Want
Pub Board interviews by the Student Council
are scheduled this Weekend.
And the students who are looking for seats
on that important body have grave responsi
bility to the students at this University.
If we may add our two cents worth to the
argument we'd lil:e to propose the following
thoughts for the consideration of those who
would serve the students to the best of their
abilities.
The function of the pub board is to be a
group of amateurs who, with the suggestions
of a technical advisor can come to some judg
ment on the proposals of the editors of student
publications.
But this job calls for more than just a will
ingness to learn what is going on in the base
ment of the Union.
It calls for men and women with integrity
who will work to be disinterested and to pass
fair judgments. We have suggested that in the
past some student members of the pub board
have used that group for personal advantage.
And to the Student Council nominating com
mittee will be looking for students who have
the good judgment, the character and the re
snon sibility to handle the tasks of this important
faculty committee.
During the week end the Daily Nebraskan has
called for an increase in the knowledge on the
part of the student council committee and the
applicants to understand the problems fa fd by
the student publications in order to insm. that
the best possible candidates are selected for
the board.
We are now counting on the student council
to keep up the good work it started at the
beginning of the semester in making judicious
appraisals of the candidates and supplying the
pub board with a crop of industrious, intelli
gent and interested members from the students
side of the table.
Enrollment
Jt is still too early to see the final trends of
this year'i enrollment, those figures are now
available are incomplete.
But these figures do show the definite trend
in a lower enrollment. Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin expressed the opinion that the drop can
be attributed mainly to higher scholastic stand
ards and an increase in tuition.
The facts on the enrollment, though incom
plete, show that there will be 261 fewer students
at the University this year than were enrolled
last year.
We view with favor the fact that, although
the University enrollment is down from last
year, the quality of students has been improved.
It is a great credit to the University that it
seeks better quality of students instead of large
numbers of students. Reports from instructors
indicate that the quality of students this year
in the freshman class is better than any in the
past. Supporting these opinions, are the sta
tistics on the numbers of freshmen enrolled in
the various courses of freshman English. The
figures show that 34 per cent of the freshmen
are enrolled in English 3, the most advanced
level of freshman English, as compared with
only 20 per cent of last year's freshman class
being placed in this course. Also this year only
17 per cent of the new students were placed in
remedial English courses, as compared with 25
per cent last year. The same pattern holds true
for the math and other departments of the Uni
versity. Reports by University officials last year prior
to the Legislature's measure which cut the Uni
versity's budget and consequently made the tui
tion increase a necessity, showed the anticipated
enrollment for 1957-58 to be from 700 to 1400
students above the enrollment for that year.
The question, and one that must remain un
answered, is whether the students which we
"lost" were actually all destined to be poor stu
dents. How many of those students who failed to
attend the university because of tuition prob
lems would have made good students? This was
brought up last year before the Unicameral
acted on the tuition hike. Now we wonder just
how many students are deprived of the educa
tion to which they are entitled, those who would
have made good students but for financial rea
sons could not afford the increased tuition. When
ever a person who has the scholastic ability is
denied the right to attend college, we must
question the system which denies him that right,
and weight the question before we can definitely
decide whether the increased tuition and lower
enrollment is good or not.

Ever since the Faculty Senate
passed on December 13, 1955, a
resolution depriving the student
members on Faculty Committees
of their vote, the issue has been
shrouded in biased newsprint and
falsifications on the part of cer
tain students.
Here are some interesting points
for the students who wish to solve
the problem rather than promote
themselves by crusading with the
issue.
(1.) About five years ago stu
dents were placed on the Faculty
Senate Calendar, Commencement,
Examination, Student Affairs, So
cial Affairs and Publications Com
mittees by the Student Council
with the Senate's approval. These
students were to have a vote. It
was a temporary arrangement to
last three years.
(2. An attempt was made sev
eral years later to place student
members on more than these six
committees. Upon investigation,
it was discovered that the three
year limit had expired and that
the students act'ia'ly bad no right
on these committees, let alone to
vote.
(3.) On December 13, 1955, the
Senate passed the resolution tak
ing away student voting on these
six committees, but allowing the
sudents to remain on the commit
ees. It is this action that has
caused the Student Council last
week to unanimously vote to send
a letter to the Dean of Student
Affairs requesting him to take the
necsesary steps to obtain the vote
for students on Faculty Commit
tees. Many students have been quick
to condemn the Faculty for its
slow action concerning the ques
tion. Nevertheless, it is this point
which many students have over
lorded: What method exists for select
ing on a permanent basis student
members to Faculty Committees?
The fact of the matter is simply
that there is no provision in th
Student Council constitution for se
lecting these students.
When the situation first arose
five years ago, it wis taken care
of by the Student Council Presi
dent appointing these students
from the Council as provided for
in Article VI, Section 2, under
"duties of the presidmt". Students
are now asking the J acuity Sen
ate to make pemroent in ttieh
committees somethhg which is on
ly vaguely provided tor la the Sto-
tdent Council.
The issue becomes :learer when
one reads the comments of the
Faculty last semester. On March
12, 1957, the Daily Nebraskan quot
ed Dean of Student Affairs Col
bert as saying the question was
not whether the students were cap
able of voting but that under he
present arrangement, "students
. . . could not be held responsible
for their actions."
Chancellor Hardin at the Chan
cellor's Round table on March 27,
1957, commented that he would fa
vor an all-campus election to se
lect student members on faculty
committees if some method were
found whereby qualified people
were nominated.
This year Student Council mem
bers were placed on the various
faculty committees by President
Helen Gourlay and the Executive
Board. This method is excellent
and I'm sure would be acceptable
to the faculty if incorporated into
the Student Council constitution.
Nevertheless, as it stands now, the
constitution makes no provision for
selecting student members on fac
ulty committees.
Perhaps it would be wise for
the Student Council to first es
tablish a reasonable method for
selecting these student members
and then request the Faculty Sen
ate to approve this method. The
Faculty could rest assured that
the students would be held respon
sible for their actions on the com
mittees and restore their vote to
them.
