It may not be spring, but
many plants, greens, ferns
and grasses are growing with

The site for this center of
growing is a small, but sat

Burnett and Bessey Halls.
Grown For Research
Glen Drohman, the greea
tiouse foreman explains that
plants are grown which cor
respond with the ones studied
in the botany classes. Most
of the plants are started from
cuttings while a few of them
are begun from seeds.
Since plants are also grown
for research, the department
has two projects underway at
the present time. One of them
is studying the Daris plant,

Grasses to Orchids
The prtenhouse is literallv
stocked with everything from
grasses to orchids. Drohman
cares for a complex plant
called "the bird of paradise"
from South Africa, which re
quires six to seven years to
reach the flowering stage. An
other is the "sensitive" plant
or mimosa. It has leaves re
sembling a fern that, when
touched, curl up and droop.
The shrimp plant resembles
its name in size, shape and;
color.
The greenhouse also con
tains a tropical room. This
room is kept at a higher tem
perature than the other parts
of the greenhouse so that trop
ical plants can be grown and
students can observe their
structure.

'Temporary' Ag Union

Library 'Union Combination
Could Solve Two Problems
The temporary Union estab
lished on Ag campus 10 years
ago may at last find a per
manent home.
Tentative plans for a com

are being
made, ac
cording to
Duane Lake,
Union Man
ager. "The plans
are still in
the exploring
state," said
Lake.
The Libra

Lake
we do, that
there is a compatibility in the
services that we both offer,"
he added.
Recent surveys made on Ag
campus by the planning com
mittee, which consists of the
union board of managers, in
dicate service needs of more
rooms, and a larger snack
bar area, stated Lake.
A strong need for a study
area was also indicated.
"The greatest change in
student's needs has been
brought about by the new
residence halls on the cam
pus. They have made quite
an impact", Lake commented.
The bond issue passed in
1956 for the expanded Uni
versity building program in
cluded $250,000 for a new ag
union, Lake continued. This
money will be available in
April of this year. Money was
also allotcd for a library. He
estimated that it would be at

Tribunal
Fate Lies
In Senate
Colbert To Offer
Measure Tuesday
The immediate fate of the
proposed Student Tribunal
will rest with the Faculty
Senate when it is brought up
Tuesday by J. P. Colbert,
Dean of Student Affairs.
"A copy of the charter and
a printed history of the Trib
unal plans have been distrib
uted to all members of the
Faculty Senate," Dean Col
bert said.
Regents Next
If the Senate approves the
Tribunal as is, it would then
go to the Board of Regents for
approval, Dean Colbert said.
In this case, he speculated
that the Tribunal could go in
to effect in time for the May
elections. ,
If the Senate disapproves
some portion of the Tribunal
charter, it will be sent back
to the Student Council for
more work.
University students ap
proved the charter by a vote
of 1,428 to 417 at an election
held during spring semester
registration.
Fourth Year
Four years of work by the
Student Council have gone in
to the Tribunal, according to
president Helen Gourlay.
During this time, the Council
contacted 18 or 20 schools
concerning student tribunals.
The student tribunal at
Stanford University, which
has been in existence for 18
years, is cited in the letter
sent to Senate members as
the best example of student
tribunals.
