Tribunal :
Student Has Question
Of Summer Jurisdiction
Jurisdiction of the Univer
sity in students' summer ac
tivities was questioned in
Student Tribunal hearings
Wednesday.
Out cl ieven cases reviewed
by the Tribunal, one re
quested an open hearing.
Six conduct warnings and
one conduct probation were
recommended by the .Tribu
nal as a result of the two
hour long session.
Questioned during the open
hearing was the University's
jurisdiction over a student's
summer actions.
According to Dick Kelley,
Tribunal chairman, the group
docs not decide which cases
it reviews. The cases are re
ferred to them by the Dean
of Student Affairs.

'Mono' Favors Collegians
. . Four in Studeut Health Have Disease
By Ann Moyer
The first patient to ap- '
pear at the Student Health
Center this fall was a suf
ferer of "mono," according
to health director Dr. Sam
uel Fuenning.
At present there are four
students hospitalized with
the disease bringing the to
tal to date to 11 cases. For
the period from September, .
1958 to September, 1959, the
number of cases treated by
Student Health was 52.
Correct Term
The correct term for the
disease is infectious mono
nucleosis. It is also known
as glandular fever, student's
disease and "kissing dis
ease." The latter name arose
from the suspicions of phy-1
sicians that the disease is
caused by a virus. There
has been some experimental ;
evidence to support the fact
that kissing is a means of
transmitting the virus.,
from a pool hall owner. The
cost $100.
On Derby Day, Sugar got
"painted" like the rest of the
girls by Kappa Sig's and
SAE's. She also rode in the
parade with 12 Chi O'g inside
and four on her running
boards.
According to Miss Beggs,
Sugar takes half a tank of
gas ($L worth) at a time.
There's a leak in the top half
of the tank and too much gas
in the summer months away
from college, reflects on the
University until he is grad
uated, added Kelley.
Asked why a student who
has already been on trial else
where must be penalized by
the University too, Kelley re
sponded: "in my opinion, you're a
student in the University
another society. You paid
your debt to Lincoln society
and the administration feels
you should pay them."
Comments
Among the comments by
the student defendants who
gathered outside the Tribunal
door were:
"Its so silly, I've paid my
fine once."
"I've had five trials, one
here, one at court and three
at home."
"The police report they
read was hilarious a real
farce."
"The judges were all nice,
and it was real informal."
When a student's case is
called, he enters the Tribu
nal chamber and seats him
self at a table with the Tri
bunal members.
Police Report
The Tribunal chairman
states the student's name and
reads the charge. He then
gives the police report, if any,
describing the circumstances
when the student was
arrested.
In their report submitted to
the dean, the Tribunal des
cribes the circumstances from
the student's viewpoint as de
termined by their questioning
during the hearing.
The student is also given
an opportunity to ask ques
tions of the Tribunal. Immed
iately following the hearing,
the defendant and others who
may be present are asked to
leave and the group delib
erates the recommendation it
will give.
Notice of the decision by
the Dean of Student Affairs
is mailed to the student at a
later date.
The disease seems pri
marily to effect chil
dren and young adults.
Mono, however, takes its
heaviest toll among college
students.
Dr. Fuenning explained
this was due to the fact
that students have es-t
pecially low immunity due
to their constant state of
fatigue.
Some of the associated
symptoms of the disease
are marked fatigue, sore
throat, headache, swollen
glands and fever. The fever
stage is believed to be the
most infectious stage, Dr.
Fuenning said.
He recommended medi
cal diagnosis if several of
the symptoms were present.
Usual treatment of the
disease includes hospitali
zation during the fever stage
supplemented by a high
protein, low-fat diet. Other
symptoms such as sore
throat and headache are
spills out.
It takes approximately a
quarter of a tank to drive to
Pioneer Park and back.
Sugar is well known at all
the service stations. She has
to stop at each one she passes
for water.
Winter may present a prob
lem for passengers in the
Model A, however. There are
holes in the floor and parts
of the motor and the ground
show through, complicating
heating.
Sugar's backside is particu
larly interesting. One license
plate reads "Buena Vista Wel
comes You, Drive Safely" and
big purple letters spell out
"The End."

Journalists
WillMeet
Approximately 900 Nebras
ka hizh school iournalists are
expected to attend the 28th
annual convention of the Ne
braska High School Press As
sociation Nov. 6-7.
James Morrison, assistant
professor of journalism and
convention program director,
described the convention as
a program where young jour
nalists will receive a goon
idea of the career opportuni
ties throughout the entire
field of journalism, not only
newspaper writing, but also
radio and television.
To make the program ef
fective, newsmen from
throughout the state will
speak at career clinics ana
head the discussion in each of
16 panels on the various tech
nical and editorial aspects of
journalism.
, The high scnooi writers
also will comDete for awards
in 16 editorial, advertising,
and photographic contests.

treated as they arise.
The fever period usually
lasts about a week but the
overall convalescent period
ranges from days to mon
ths depending on the indi
vidual. Dr.. Fuenning cited rest
as the most effective cure.
He said students often feel
quite well after a week of
hospital care and insist on
discharge. Most of them
return in a few days, he
said.
Although the disease
rarely kills, it can produce
harmful after-effects. Mono
often impairs vital organs
and frequently incapacitates
the individual.
Dr. Fuenning reported
that medical research on
the disease has begun. He
said that if the cause of
the disease could be iso
lated and the method of
transmission discovered, a
preventive cure could be de
veloped, i
PuhBoard Representatives
Selection of student mem
bers for the Faculty Senate
sub-committee on publica
tions was the main order of
business before the Student
Council Wednesday.
Selected for student posi
tions on the Pub Board were

parties who would like to as
serrtble the book. He empha
sized that a separate printer
would print the book, and the
organization would gather the
material.
He added about $300 would

tions should be mailed to the
IFC.

GOP Head
Is Here
Gives View$
For Press
The Republican National
Committee Chairman Thurs
day advised students who
want to be of service to the
party to become active in
their political precinct and
join a Young Republican or
ganization. Sen. Thruston B. Morton
(R-Ky), said, "I was a cam
paign manager when I was
19."
In Lincoln for a fund-raising
dinner, the Senator told
a press conference, "If we
succeed in gaining a majority
of the House seats in 1960, we
will invariably elect a Presi
dent, because the GOP Presi
dential nominee always runs
about 10 per cent ahead of the
Congressional ticket.
Sen. Morton is on a 30,000
mile, nation-wide tour of 30
states "which hold a majority
of the 100 or so 'marginal'
Congressional districts which
form the battleground for con
trol of the next House of Rep
resentatives. The Senator said he had "an
hour alone" with Gov. Nelson
Rockefeller of New York, and
said, "I got the impression he
hasn't made up his mind"
whether to be a candidate for
the GOP nomination.
Asked whether he thought
Vice President Richard Nixon
and Rockefeller might appear
on the ticket together, he said
"I think.it is possible they will
form a ticket together."

Final Paces
Interviews of the applicants
selected by the nominating
committee were put through
pay Theta Xi and Sigma Chi
each $50 a month to help de
fray the expense of boarding
a Hungarian student in their
houses.
The house representatives
said the Hungarians had no
outside income except what
they earned working. This is
the thi.d year the students
have been the guests of the
IFC.
Ministers Visit
A delegation of campus
ministers paid a social call
on the organization. The vis
itors were Rev. Rex Knowles,
Rev. William Gould, Rev. Al
vin Peterson, Benton White
and Keith Stevenson of Cot
ner College.
White gave a short talk to
the group, requesting the
IPC's help in keeping Sun
day mornings, evenings and
Wednesday evenings clear for
church services.
He also asked that all mem
bers not be required to go to
another church with a group
in a church-going function,
and that pledges be released
from required Sunday night
study halls to attend fellow
ship meetings.
After he was assured most
of the houses allowed mem
bers to be excused any time
for church matters, he
grinned and replied, "Fine,
we have had a sneaking sus
picion that some kids are
giving us the run-around."
White added that, "We feel
you all have respect of the
churches."
