The University's Christmas

The tree is dying and will
be removed within the next
few weeks? according to John
Harris of the University

Donated by Dr. James Sell

4Look Over Candidates,'
Council Head Advises
On Monday, May 4, the day for Student Council elec- ,
tions, how many of you will know who the candidates are
from your college? The answer in past years has been
"very few."
This is a serious situation. To help remedy this, each -student
should do four things:
One, take time to read the Daily Nebraskan to find
out who the candidates are in his college; ".
Two, find out about the candidates' abilities;
, Three, make a choice, and '
Four, take about two minutes to vote!
After you have found who the candidates are from your
college or organization, you also have an obligation to de
termine their qualifications. This can be accomplished by
asking your friends about them, asking other people in
your college or organization, and by watching the bulle
tin boards for posters.
Some of the criteria to use in determining a person's
Student Council potential could be how he has performed ,
in other positions, how he thinks, (that is, does he think for
.himself and is he able to organize his thoughts) and is he
or will he be properly acquainted with the members find
problems of the group he is to represent so that he can
arcurstcly present the position of his organization or col
lege. Your interest in the candidates' abilities is important
because the Student Council has the power to regulate and
coordinate student activities and 'to act as a liaison be
tween the Administration and Faculty and the students.
The use of these powers depends unon one thing, the capa
bilities of the Student Council members and officers.
In turn these members depend upon you for election.
Having a good Student Council next, year depends almost
entirely upon you You cast the votes May 4.
