Student Trih
1 Charter
mia
By Marilyn Coffey
Staff Writer
The proposed Student
Tribunal was approved with
one minor amendment Tues
day by the Faculty Senate.
J. P. Colbert, dean of stu
dent affairs, presenting the
Tribunal to the Senate, said,
"This tribunal Is, we think,
a step forward in student
self-government."
Chancellor Clifford Hardin,
after the Tribunal had been
approved, commented, "The
mood of the Faculty Senate
seems to be that this is a
move initiated by students
expressing a willingness to
accept further responsibility
and the Senate is willing to
accept such a move."
Colbert
Colbert said, "I think it Is
a very forward step in stu
dent government, in the gen
eral, welfare of the Univer
sity as an adult institution of
higher education and in the
spirit of co-operation between
the students and the instruc
tional staff."
The Tribunal Charter will
be returned to the Student
Council and the student body
for a second time for ap
proval or disapproval of the
amendment by the Senate.
The amendment added
"Acting with the consent of
the Faculty Senate" to Ar
ticle VII, Section 2 of the
Charter which read, "Thli
Charter can be amended only
by the Board of Regents up
on recommendation of t h e
University Faculty Senate
Committee on Student Af
fairs." During the discussion, the
provision for faculty judges
was brought to the attention
of the Senate by Raymond
Dein, professor of account
ing. The Charter stated that
the proposed Tribunal should
have "two faculty judges who
are members of the Faculty
Senate."
Faculty Voting
Dein questioned accepting
a policy of faculty members
voting with students. He said,
"It seems to me highly un
wise to get into the position
of voting for or against stu
dents." Since recommendations by
the proposed Tribunal would
be subject to the final deci
sion of the dean of student
affairs, it is possible that the
dean might reverse the de
cision of the faculty judges.
Any embarrassment result
ing from such a reversal
CGu'.d be avoided, indicated
Colbert, by the acceptance of
objective attitudes by the
Judges,
A move by James Miller
Jr., chairman of the English
department, that the Faculty
Senat' strike the phrase Fac
ulty Judges whenever it ap
pears in the charter and sub
stitute Faculty Advisors was
defeated.
Colbert cited as the types
of cases that might conceiv
ably come before the Tribun
al as those involving liquor,
plagiarism, cribbing and gen
eral student conduct.

Graduation
Beckons
Tribunal
N. U. Tribunal, University
senior at large, took another
step down the graduation
aisle yesterday afternoon. Tri
bunal passed its semester
exam with flying colors.
After four long years at
the University, Tribunal is
indeed a senior. But will he
graduate? The final exam
still remains the approval
of his degree by the Board of
Regents.
Tribunal has been a good
student and the University
administration has respected
him for this fact and also for
his character and personality.
As an underclassman, Tri
bunal, like anyone here at
the University underwent a
lot of study. Many of his en
emys considered him a cheat
he copied from many of his
comrades at other institu
tions. One of his best friends is
going to Stanford University.
This buddy, S.U. Tribunal, is
on the national honor roll
according to many. N.U. has
always looked upon the more
educated S. U, (now in his
18th year at college) as an
idol, and has tried to follow
his ways.
Tribunal scholarship is
nothing to scoff at either. In
a test at the end of the fall
semester it got 1,428 ' ques
tions right out of 1,845 plac
ing it well above University
average.
Tribunal's friends are look
ing forward to his quick
graduation.

Slip Stick
Sessions
Scheduled
It has been said that an
engineer has two brains one
in his head, and one that he
straps to his belt his slide
rule.
Several years ago, the En
gineering Mechanics depart
ment discontinued teaching
the use of the slide rule in
beginning drawing classes,
thus leaving young engineers
to learn the secrets of the
slip-stick elsewhere.
Sigma Tau
To remedy this, Sigma Tau,
engineering honorary, decid
ed to give lessons in t h e
slide rule. Circulars were
sent around, and 198 persons
indicated interest, according
to John Ficke, committee
member.
The classes will last about
6 weeks, with a one hour ses
sion each week, Ficke sail.
Six sections are scheduled.
Registration is still open
for these classes. The sec
tions are not restricted to en
gineering students.
"If someone in Teachers
College wants to attend, for
example, they are welcome,"
Ficke commented.
No Slide Rule
He added that persons who
attend the classes do not
have to own a slide rule. Sig
ma Tau will try to arrange
for those who do not have
slip-sticks to borrow one, he
said.
No fees are charged for
these classes, and no credit
is given for them, he added.
One hour sessions are
scheduled at 4, 5 and 7 p.m.
on Mondays, at 4 and 7 p.m.
on Tuesdays and at 5 p.m.
on Thursdays. Classes will be
held in 202 Stout, .

The grandmother gardens
feverishly and ignorantly
as an escape from old age.

grandmother by the nose.
Over the premises, unseen
and chained by a stroke up
stairs, there broods the evil
influence and faded grandeur
of the butler who has known

the governess comes to lunch
and the climax of the play is
reached.

Underground Groups Remain
Extra Legal Activities Include Pi Xi, Red Dots, TNE's
By GARY RODGERS
Copy Editor
Anyone for sub rosas? A
sub rosa, in the dictionary
of the University of Nebras
ka administrators, is t h e
term applied to various se
cret campus societies. They
include the Pi Xis, TNEs
(Theta Nu Epsilon) and
Red Dots.
These organizations have
prevailed on the NU cam
pus for many years, though
the University administra
tion has tried their darn
est to abolish therm.
The undercover organiza
tions are banned by a board
of regents because of their
"secrecy." Dismissal of any
student found to be a mem
ber is mandatory, accord
ing to the regulations.
The TNEs were "disband
ed" in 1951 when four mem
bers were caught in acts
of vandalism. At this time
the society agreed, in sworn
statements, to dissolve per
manently in return for the
re-admittance of the f o u r
suspended brothers.
Skull, Crossbones
The old TNE skull and
corssbones which so long
frequented the porches and
steps of Greek houses on
campus was thus destined

A registered Holstein cow
owned by the University was
named "Cornhusker Cow of
the Year" Tuesday night at
the Nebraska State Dairy

The cow, U

outstanding production and
type as well as for her
ability to reproduce off
spring with these same quali
ties. The award is given an
nually by the Nebraska Inter-Breed
Dairy Council as
part of a program to recog
nize great cows.
She is the daughter of the
"Cornhusker Cow of the
Year" in 1957. Tristan Isis
has completed five lactations
which average 588.8 pounds
of butterfat. Her daughters
average 632, 580, and 625
pounds of butterfat. Two sons
have been sold for breeding
purposes but are not, as yet,
proven.

to disappear. Though occa
sionally campus leaders get
letters of congratulations
marked with the familiar
symbol on their election or
appointment to some cam
pus office, this organization
has, it seems, faded away.
In its place has sprung
the Pi Xis. Started in 1954,
the Pi Xis have for their
symbol a gold snake with
a red dot in the middle of
its head, all mounted on a
shield of blue enamel.
In 1956 two students were
exposed as alleged mem
bers of Pi Xi and were ex
pelled for their underground
activities. They were caught
early one morning painting
on sidewalks on fraternity
row.
The Pi Xis now meet
weekly on Wednesday nights
in hotel and motel rooms.
Throughout the year they
are generally quite peace
ful; that is, until just be
fore the homecoming cele
bration and before either
Engineers' day or Ivy Day.

Special men are employed
by the University police

occasions to cope with these
organizations. But when Ivy

Lentz Incorporates
East With West
A piece based on Nepalesa
folk tunes heard by Dr. Don

Orient last spring in search
of primitive Hindu, Thai,
and Indonesia music will be
among the numbers featured
Sunday afternoon at the an
nual Symphonic Band con

3 p.m. in the Student Union
ballroom. The public is in
vited to attend, and there is
no admission charge.
Western Adaptation
Orlan Thomas, a Lincoln
graduate student, will play
the Nepalese melodies adapt
ed by Conductor Lentz to
Western notation and tonality
on the English Horn, accom
panied by a woodwind en
semble. Also featured in the concert
as a soloist will be Wesley
Reist of Lincoln, instructor
of music, who will play Con
certo in E Flat for Clarinet,
by von Weber. ,
Professor Lentz said he
heard one of the Nepalese
melodies early one morning
sung by a street singer; the
other, he said, was chanted
by an old man sitting in the
doorway of his home high in
the Himalayas to a small
child sitting at his feet.
First Performance
This is the first perform
ance of his attempt to inte

Other numbers on the pro

The Red Dots, under
