For the first time since

the Coliseum.
An inscription in the 1945
Cornhusker stated that "The
Ivy was planted on the col

it was Ivy Day."

Student Government
Faces Trial Today
In 1956 only 1,825 students
voted in the all-University
election for Student Council,
in 1957 only 2,000 students vot
ed in the same election, in
1958???
. "Government is yours
if you vote."
Helen Gourlay, president
of the Council encouraged stu
dents to vote in the election
today. She said that the Coun
cil will only be as strong as
the students make it.
Miss Gourlay said that the
bigger the turnout in the elec
tion today, the greater the
responsibility the student rep
resentatives will feel toward
their constituents.
She said that in order to
have a truly representative
group, there should be a large
turnout in the election.
By voting in the Student
Council election, students can
share in their government,
she said.
