high school band students will take the

Band Day Show To Include
Intricate 'Peace' Formation
Oney of the most difficult
programs yet devised for
Band Day will be the spec
tacle between halves of the
Nebraska - Indiana football
game Saturday.
According to Prof. Donald
Should Houses Have
Homecoming Theme?
. . . Nebraskan Opinion Poll
Conformity or non-conformity
lor future homecom
ings? That was the question,
and local collegians chose
to disagree whether themes
are a good idea for organ
ized house displays.
Many other universities
resemble a book of "song
titles," "Disneyland" or
other generality during the
most important of all cam
pus holidays.
Tradition has it at Ne
braska that almost any in
dividual theme literally
from soup to nuts Is okay
with Innocents who approve
plans.
At the risk of sounding
partial, the Daily ' Nebras
kan's poll will quote alpha
betically: Sherry Drew, junior in
Arts and Sciences, said,
"Themes would be all right
if the subject was broad
enough."
A Student Council ' com
mittee should post a list of
themes and representatives
from each house should
vote, according to AI For
man, junior in Business
Administration. He thinks
this would Increase compe
tition, rather than reduce
it
Judy Gant, freshman in
Arts and Sciences, auks,
"Would themes be high
ichoolish?" "Themes would limit or
iginality and all displays
would look alike," says Bill

IV 1 Seal Symbols
Each Have Meaning
"Universitas Nebraskensis". i
Everybody knows the words, but how many know the
meaning? '
The school seal, of coure, stands for the University of
Nebraska, but the rest of the symbols have varied mean-,
ings.
The open book In the Innermost part of the seal sym
bolizes the College ef Arts and Sciences and its basic fields
of learning. The surroundnig motto, "Uteris Dedlcata et
Omnibus Artlbus," means "Dedicated to Letters andAll
the Arts." t , . ,
AT-und this core of learning range the symbols of col
leges and professional fields offered at Nebraska U. The
locomotive represents Civil Engineering, the surveyor in
struments, Mechanical Engineering.
The sheaf of wheat denotes the College of Agriculture
and the scales of justice represent the Law College. Military
science 1 characterized by the flag and fine arts by the
palette.
To complete the circle of seven, the mortar and pestle
symbolize medicine and the scales of justice are emblem
. atic of the law. ' 1

University, binds all the various interest fields together

Pat Ruderman, fresh

"A central theme gives

Tribunal Won't Hear
Any Summer Violations
By Mike Milroy
Conduct violation cases oc
curing during the summer are
no longer referred to the Stu
dent. Tribunal, according to
J. P. Colbert, dean of the Di
vision of Student Affairs.
In a statement issued Mon
day, Colbert said that a con
ference consisting of a repre
sentative from the Chancel
lor's office; Frsfc Kallgren,
associate dean of men; Dick
Kelley, tribunal , chairman,
and himself unanimously con
curred that summer actions
of University students would
be reviewed by the adminis
tration and action taken if
warranted.
Summer violations will not
be referred to the Tribunal.
"Two summer cases were
sent to the Tribunal along
with early first semester
cases, but in light of present
policy have now been with
drawn from the Tribunal,"
Colbert stated.
The two summer cases have
been taken from the Tribunal
and will be reviewed admin
istratively by the Division of
Student Affairs. Summer
cases of this typo made their
first appearance before the
Tribunal this year since the
Tribunal is only in its second
year of existence.
Didn't Encounter
The first Tribunal, insti
tuted at the beginning of the
1958-59 school year and Au
thorized by the Board of Re
gents, did not encounter sum
mer cases since it was not
actually in existence during
the summer preceeding the
1958-59' term. The Tribunal
was in existence over this
past summer and therefore

had two summer violations
referred to it in its first
meeting of the 1959-60 year.
Cases referred to the Tri
bunal go first to the Tribunal
and then accompany the Tri
bunal's recommendation for
action to the office of Dean
Colbert.' Colbert then reviews
both sides of the cases and
makes the final decision. By
not receiving reference to the
cases until the case has been
to the Tribunal, it enables
the Division of Student Af
fairs to make the decision
from an unbiased viewpoint,
it was stated.
Colbert said that a plan was
now in motion to establish
opening and closing dates of
the regular school year. These
dates would provide the Tri
bunal with bounds for juris
diction during the school
year.
Not Referred
"Cases of conduct following
the end and before the be
ginning of the school year
will be reviewed by the Di
vision of Student Affairs wben
warranted, as has always
been the policy," Colbert
stated. "They will not be re
ferred to the Tribunal."
This year's Student Tribunal
is of the opinion that a case
of simple possession of alco
holic beverages without other
circumstance entering . in
warrant only a recommen
dation of conduct warning.
Dean Colbert said that
he fully concurred with the
Tribunal's recommendation.
"If a student is unwise in
breaking the law, we feel
that a warning will have the
desirous effect."
Conduct warning results in
a letter to the offender stat
ing that his conduct is unac
ceptable to the University,
but does not remove any ac
tivity eligibility of the stu
dent. Conduct probation, on

The Student Tribunal us

Possession
Is Defined
By Officials
Wednesday's open Student
Tribunal hearing involved a
student charged with illegal
possession of liquor.
According to the student, he
had gone to a drive-in movie
outside the city limits with
some friends who had bought
two six-packs of beer.
They drank one six-pack at
the show, the student charged
said. He said he did not drink
any since he was driving the
car. On the way home they
were stopped by police on a
routine check and the beet
cans were found.
The student stated that the
occupants of the car were not
"rowdy, driving under the in
fluence of liquor or intoxi.
cated".
He paid a fine of $28.60 in
municipal court.
Didn't Know .
The student informed the
Tribunal that he did not knovr
that he w a s technically in
possession because he w a
driving the car.
According to Lincoln Police
Chief Joe Carroll, "If liquor
is present among minors, thii
will be cause for investiga
tion. If the city prosecutor
decides there is sufficient evi
dence to prosecute, then
charges are filed.
Presence Is Cause
Carroll added, "The pres
ence of liquor among minors
is usually cause for further
investigation before filing
charges." Police have the
authority to hold for invest!-1
gation minors in possession of
honor. '
Tom Gorham, city prose
cutor, defined passessioji ac
cording to the law. He said,
"It is, actual physical control
and Intent to control the item
to be possessed. The law
states a person driving a car
lias constructive possession of
everything In the car."
Gorham explained c o n
structive possession as "what
the law says it is" in each;
specific case.
The students' knowledge of
the liquor in this case consti
tutes possession, whereas a
"possession" definition in a
case of planted or "framed",
evidence of liquor would de
pend on court decision basej
on evidence. -
