Oklahoma University uses t h e
evaluation system in the Air ROTC
department and is considering a
system of course and curriculum
evaluation by student committees
set up in each college, Miss Jones
said.
The Arts and Science and En
gineering Colleges have used the
plan with fair success, the Okla
homa delegation reported. The
students have, by this method,
been able to add several courses
to their curriculum and drop a few
others.
Other schools at the conference
said they were looking into the
idea although no definite plans
have been made.
The conference also discussed
the organization and duties of the
Student Councils at each school.
Miss Jones reported the following
differences between the Universi
ty Student Council and those of
other Big Eight Universities.
Nebraska Unique
Nebraska was the only univer
sity in which organizations were
allowed representation on the

money to Corn Cobs or Builders
for their annual budget, he ex
plained. Each organization must appear
before the council committee and
present their request for a budget.
The Council decides which group
receives how much money.
Parking Problems
A third delegate to the conven
tion, Gary Frenzel, remarked that
there seemed to be only two so
lutions to campus narking prob
lems. If the schools have room
they build off-campus parking lots
and if they don't they forbid fresh
men to park on campus.
Herb Freidman, who represent
ed the University on the confer
ence constitution committee ex
plained that Kansas State College
will no longer have permanent
charge of the annual conference.
Instead, each conference will de
cide where the next meeting will
be held. However, Kansas State
will have charge of next year's
session.
The office of Chairman of the
Big Eight Student Government
Association was made separate
from that of chairman of the con
ference.
Helen Gourlay, president of the
Student Council and another con
ference delegate, explained that
any Council member wishing in
formation from another Student
Council in the Big Eight should

delegate to the convention.
dent of the Student Council.
Student Tribunals, now being es
tablished at the University, are
common at other Big Eight
Schools. At Oklahoma a student
may appeal a decision of the Dean
to the Tribunal, whose action can
be over-ruled only by the presi
dent of the university of the Board
of Regents. The Oklahoma Tribu
nal, with other members of the
student body assisting, chose the
Dean of Students several j'ears
ago from a list submitted by the
President of the University. .
Dwaine Rogge, another Council
representative to the Convention,
commented that many other Coun
cils have budgets of several thou
sand dollars. These Councils allot
money to the various student or
ganizations on campus. This would
compare with the University Stu-
sented to the University Faculty
Committee on Student Affairs for
its approval.
With the support of the Uni
versity Faculty Committee, the
Charter will be referred to the
Faculty Senate for their approval
at large.
The proposed charter of the Stu
dent Tribunal was passed by a
near 2 to 1 majority in the Stu
dent Affairs which will have the
final say on action taken and pun
ishments levied Keene said. The
Tribunal will only recommend a
decision to that body and will also
only act on matters that the Di
vision of Student Affairs refers to
it.

That's the fantasy in which
Audrey Hepburn and Mel Ferrer
got together.
Dr. Margaret Servine of the De
partment of Speech and Dramatic
Arts doesn't promise such a
startling outcome for the Univer
sity Theatre's production of Jean
Giraudaux's popular play of the
1954 season. But she does say that
the production of the play will be
interesting.
Adapted from the French by
Maurice Valency, who does much
of the translation work for Girau
daux, Ondine is the retelling of an
old French folk tale.
Dr. Servine said that the plot is
based to story of a certain water
sprite (Ondine) who falls in love
with a human but is disillusioned
by -worldly life and goes hack to
her lake. 'She leaves her lover
dead with a fareweil kiss on his
lips' Dr. Servine stated.
The play is basically a story of
the conflict between worldliness
and innocence. "Ondine does he
come worldly and she does be
come disillusioned," the director
related.
The play is at the same time
fantastic and humorous. It con
tains pathos and a good philos
ophy. But even without the phil
osophy the play is unusual and
interesting, Dr. Servine added.
"The fact that it is a fantasy
gives it an appeal," she said.
Tryouts for the play, scheduled
for production the first week in
March, will be held in the Howell
Theater Wednesday and Thursday.
Hours for the tryouts are from 3-5
and 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday and
from 3-5 and 7-8 on Thursday. The
shortened Thursday evening try
outs have been necessitated by
two experimental theater plays
scheduled that evening, Dr. Ser
vine explained.
There are parts in Ondine for
17 males and 10 females and ev
eryone is urged to try out whether
he has had any previous training
or experience in theater, the di
rector noted.
Crew calls for the play will be
made at the same time as the
tryouts. Dr. Charles Lown of the
Speech Department will be the
technical director of the show.
"We will run into a number of
technical difficulties," Dr. Servine
noted. "There are three acts in
the play and many sound and
lighting difficulties which should
prove challenging to the crews."
She reported that tentative plans
for the scenery would create a
contrast between the rather heavy
medieval style of settings and the
rather airy character of the
sprite.
Rehearsals for Ondine will be
gin February 3 and will not con
flict with examinations.
