protein also may be respon

Dozen Volunteers
Dr. Linckswiler said the re
search will be conducted with
a group of 12 volunteer men,
aged 50 or older, who will
receive two kinds of pro
teins, milk and wheat, in their
diets over a period of 50
days.
The men's blood will be
examined prior to the diet
program to determine the fat
content of their blood. Their
blood again will be examined
after 25 days on a low-level
protein diet and after the next
25 days on a high protein
diet.
Not only will the research
determine the effect on cho
lestral content but also the
effect on fatty acids in the
blood, she added.

dates for the 1959-1960 Univer
sity Activities Queen.
Scholarship, leadership, ser
vice to the' University, poise,

sonality will be factors con

Council Criticism
the late closing date because
of the consequent conflict
which would result in many
students' summer employ
ment. It was pointed put that one
of the major reasons for the
Faculty Committee favoring
the late closing date was for

teachers who wished to at-

'Rush Day'
Committee
Is Planned
Council Seeks
Nlf Open House
A "Rush Day" to benefit
the entire University will be
embodied in the All-University
Open House which has as
its first step the selection of
an Ali-Umversity Open House
Committee.
The committee will be se
lected by the Student Council,
with the Council nominating
committee acting as the in
erviewing board for .all in
terested candidates.
Interviews will be held Oct.
31 from 8-11 a.m. All appli
cants who are interested may
obtain application blanks at
Room 338 in the Union.
Application blanks should
be placed in the ballot box
outside 338. The applicant
should also sign the sheet on
the door for an interview ap
pointment. Information
Those applicants who can
not possibly make the sched
uled interviews and are def
initely interested should call
Chuck Wilson, chairman of
the nominating committee, at
5-2957.
Information will also be
supplied by Wilson upon re
quest. He also stated that an
applicant must be eligible ac
cording to University stand
ards and should have suffi
cient time and interest.
The committee which will
consist of a minimum of six
members, will study the po
sibility of organizin& and pre
s e n t i n g an All-University
Open Houe.
Three Alternatives
They will then act upon one
of three alternatives. They
may. a) devise a plan for
presenting the Open House
this spring, upon approval of
the Student Council; b) draw
a plan to present the Open
House one year from this
spring, also subject to Loun
cil approval; or c) recom
mend that the All-University
Open House is not feasible
after sufficient investigation
into the possibilities.
The All-University Open
House plan is intended to
show high school students the
whole University when they
visit instead of just a seg
ment. 1
It would also enable visit
ing students to view the many
attributes of the University
that are unknown to many,
Wilson said.
Tribunal Has
Short Meet
The "Student Tribunal
Wednesday had a hearing
for the first girl student to
come before it this year.
The session was short, with
only two cases. Both of them
were closed hearings.
Tribunal chairman Dick
Kelley said the group recom
mended one "dismissal of
charges" and one "conduct
warning."

at 8 p.m. at 130 So. llth on
second floor. .
tend summer school. Some of
these instructors do not fin
ish their duties .in high
schools until the early part
of June.
Other Reasons
Conflicting profes
sional meetings at other
schools which begin about the
same time as the opening of
the fall term at the Univer
sity were another reason for
the Faculty's favoring the
late closing date. Personal
preferences similar to those
of individual students also
were listed.
After floor debate over the
"late date" or the "early
date," which would necessi
tate school opening one week
earlier, the Council passed a
motion that "the Student
Council go on record as
strongly opposing the present
Sept. 19 to June 8 schedule
for 1960-61 as proposed by
the Faculty Calendar Com
mittee and that the Council
Calendar Committee see that
student wishes as expressed
by the Student Council be
presented to the Faculty Sen
ate." The Council Calendar Com
mittee is presently gathering
student opinion on the dates
and as soon as it is com
piled, the results will be di
rected to the Faculty Calen
dar Committee in an effort
to persuade it to take the
student preference before the
Faculty Senate at its Nov.
10 meeting.
Council's Duty
The Judiciary Committee
reported that, according to
the constitution, it is the Stu
dent Council's duty to organ
ize and select the Yell Squad
or delegate that duty. Bob
Krohn, chairman of the com

these functions had been dele
gated to an Advisory Board

Krohn told the Council that
Jake Geier, head gymnastics
coach, was responsible for
the cheerleading efforts in the
late 40's and the University
cheerleaders were gymnasts
on the gymnastics squad.
In 1952, the cheerleading
situation was revised and
girls were permitted to par
ticipate. Now, approximately
80 girls try out for the four
posts on the cheering
squad open every year.
- The Elections Committee
reported that it will send a
letter to Tassels making sug
gestions for improvement in
procedures in future selec
tion of candidates due to the
recent "mix-up" on the
Homecoming Queen election.
Activity Standards
The Activities Committee,
headed by Dave Godby, an
nounced that standards for
campus activities now are be
ing formed. Every campus
organi:ation is to receive a
packet containing a model
constitution form and infor
mation concerning selection
of faculty advisers and addi
tional material. An eligibility
statement of requirements al
so will be included in the
packets to avoid further mix
ups in eligibility stipulations.
Godbey also said that such
clubs as the "Mystic Fish,
Silver Serpents and Corn
tuskers" are going to be de
clared defunct since they are
no longer functioning activi
ties. The Executive Council re
ported it would have "defi
nite" material to present at
the next meeting so that the
Council would be able to dis
cuss school spirit on the floor
and, if necessary, take , re
quired action. Information
will be received from the
Yell Squad and the presidents
of both pep groups.
Council President Jack
Nielsen said, "Our first move
will be to instigate coordi
nation between the Tassels,
Corn Cobs and the Yell
Squad."
