home econbmist who deliv
ered the ninth annual' Avery ;
Memorial Lecturg at the Uni

tion grows in proportion to
the opportunity given to
women.
She spoke on. "Women in
an Awakening Nation," using
her experience of two years
in Turkey and nearby na
tions. She said that women
in Turkey have faith in the
American way of life.
"This is a real challenge
to us," she explained. "May

will be sent to the Faculty
Sub-Committee on . Student
Organization with the Coun
cil's recommendations and
will be revised, if necessary,
by that sub-committee.
Krohn told the Council
there "wag a club lor every
small town during the 2u's
and, although the clubs have
been discontinued, they still
have funds on deposit at the
Student . Activities office."
These organizations will have
their constitutions reviewed
and revised or declared de
funct, as warranted.
The Judiciary Committee
also reported that it was
available for assistance in
drafting new constitutions for
organizations. It was stated
that no money can be handled
by a group until its constitu
tion is approved.
Appeals
The Social Committee,
headed by Ken Tempero, in
formed the Council that its
committee handled appeals
on Tribunal decisions and ex
plained the procedures of the
Tribunal to the Council repre
sentatives. Tempero suggested that an
"appeal limit" be established
to concur with the limit the
University has for appealing
student suspension actions, i
The University's limit for!
appealing suspension is three
days from the date of suspen
sion. The suggested appeal
limit on Tribunal decisions
would be .three days from
student notification of the Tri
bunal decision.
Tempero also emphasized
the importance of submitting
lists of eligibility as early as
possible to avoid elimination
of members vital to an or
ganization's program at the
last minute and thus avoid
misfortune.

Tribunal Hears
Disturbance Cases
The cases of four students
involved in a '"disturbance"
in downtown Lincoln earlier
this month were heard by the
student Tribunal Wednesday,
with two of the cases being
dismissed and the other two
being recommended for con
duct warnings.
Two of the students had
open hearings; one of the stu
dents had a closed hearing;
and one student did not ap
pear. The Tribunal dismissed
the absent student's case.
All four called up were in
volved in the disturbance
which was investigated by city
police.
The incident centered
around the removal of an ig
nition wire and car keys from
another student's auto in what
was caled a habitual joke. A
resulting "friendly scuffle"
was investigated by police
after someone turned in a
complaint.
The car owner did not press
charges against the four in
volved nor did city police.
The Tribunal recommended
conduct warnings for the stu
dent who removed the keys
and for the one who removed
the ignition wire and was in
volved in the scuffle with the
car owner.
Dismisal of the cases of the
other two called up was
recommended. They were not
involved in the scuffle or wire

ICs Possible
Want To Raise Your
Average? Get Married
Student weddings used to
be unheard of, but times have
changed, according to na
tional and local surveys.
Now they make up a size
able margin of the student
body and contribute quite a
bit to the overall grade aver
ages, too, the surveys show.
According to an article in
Look magazine this week,
married graduate students
generally do well in their stu
dies. For example, among
Cornell University's 1,200
graduate students, the 900
who are married consistently
earn better grades.
Here, Dean John C. Weaver
of the Graduate College says
no exact survey has been
made to determine who earns
the better grades.
But he did comment, "The
maried students with fam
ilies tend to have a more se
rious stake in their education
and also tend to be more so
ber about their studies.

dean of student affairs, who
awarded the trophy' at the
Panhell banquet, pointed out
that in accordance with the
Panhellenic Creed, the para
mount objective of all sorori
ties should be scholarship. ,
She said numerical grades
were a measure of worth but
that education should mean
much more.
True scholarship, according
to Dean Snyder, includes a
sense of broadening our con
cepts, developing richer
meanings for all things,
deeper appreciaiton of the
worthwhile, growth in esteem
and dedication to the
advancement of culture.
Elsie Ford Piper
Prior to the presentation of
the Elsie Ford Piper Award,
Miss Sondra Whalen gave a
short memorial talk about
Miss Piper, who died in De

house scholarship.
Mrs. Thomas Graham, col
legiate vice president of Al
pha Chi Omega was guest
speaker for the banquet. Her
speech was in accordance
with the banquet theme "Our
Heritage."
A Sisterhood
"True pride in ybur soror
ity and Panhellenic system
is shown by your knowledge
of its purpose, function and
history."
Mrs. Graham pointed out
that a sorority was a sister
hood, therefore, it should
strive to become an exten
sion of family living, she
said. This would entail learn
ing to live tompatablv with
oth"rs, practicing loyally and
respect and accepting respon-
sioiuiy.
She explained that the re
sponsiblities of the organiza
tion rests with the officers.
The officers should attempt to
aid in formulating good habits
among the group.
Also, it is their job to pro
mote loyalty and harmony,
or to serve as a sounding
board for all members Mrs.
Graham said
By means of good exam
ple, they will demand the re
spect of the others prducing
a more refined group, she
added.
