Fourteen turtles went to the post as representatives of the campus sororities. The race consisted of three elimination runs and the championship match be tween Alpha Chi Omega and Kappa Alpha Theta. The Theta turtle won the final race by a shell. For Coordination, Regulation Student Council members unanimously adopted a plan for activity regulation and co ordination at its last regular meeting. This proposal, drafted mainly through the efforts of Jack Nielsen, Council presi- dent and fir$t . . president was presented to the Council as a means to further the Council func tion of fulfilling the purpose of the Council as set down in its constitution. Council Constitution Article II of the Council constitution states that, "The purpose of this organization shall be to act as the su preme student governing body in regulation and coor- a one of its rurDoses. feels it can act as the coordinating body in the field of campus activities. By assuming the duties of direction and con trol of the activities, in so far as these activities are re lated to each other and to the University, the Student Council can begin to function more in the areas where ac tion is needed." The basil process by which the desired coordination would be achieved weuld require the Council to enact such supple mentary legislation at would be necessary from time to time, and the Council would enforce the University rules and its own rule and regu lations in cooperation with the other agencies concerned. "The emphasis would not be on hampering the free growth of activities, but rather on the formation of a progressive and definite ac ivities system which would better teach the valuable les sons that are to be learned by participation in activities than is being done now," the report stated. Need for Coordination Reasons listed by the re port for the necessity of co ordination and control of ac tivities were: faulty handling of financial affairs, establish ing continuity and coordina tion in organizations and dis semination of information and regulations to the differ ent activities. Regulation of the use of University facili ties was also listed. The report stated that "many organizations do not channel all, or in some cases, any of their money through the Student Activities Office. Bills are sometimes paid out of 'slush funds', and in many cases the advisor has no knowledge of these actions. mere is aiso no way is no check on the number Vote Today For Council Representatives Student Council elections are taking place today at polls in Selleck Quad, Love Library, Student Union and Ag Union. Polls opened at 7:30 a.m. and will close at 7 p.m. Students in the College of Agriculture may vote only in the Ag Union, according to Kathy Roach, Student Council elections chairman. members, consequently, dues of an organization against the funds of that organization." Therefore, control of financial affairs is necessary It was also pointed out that there has been no up-to-date list of approved or ganizations, which are en titled to use University facili ties. Some groups use the name of the University with out securing approval of this usage. Consequently, the Uni versity assumes responsibility for these groups, but has no control over their actions. 'in some areas there is an over-lapping of the purposes of the organizations. The Stu dent Council acting as the coordinator with the admin- istration wouia eliminate ims ; practice." i One Group The report also stated that "there is a need for one group to handle all the in - formation and regulations pertaining to organizations. The publication of the Activi ties Handbook is the first step in this direction." The Council presently has the areas of. Group Records, Formation of a New Activity and University Financial Reg ulation as areas of legislation or regulation. The enforce ment of records regulations might possibly be the most important area of regulation, the report stated. The report also stated that "enforcement of the financial regulations would result in the obvious advantages of eliminating the risk of mone tary loss to an organization though unscrupulous actions or ignorance on the part of the officers. Ranney For the third time in his college career, Elwin Ran ney was named the out standing cowboy at the in nual Championship Colleg iate Rodeo Saturday night. Ranney was given a sad dle by the Knight of Ak-sar-ben for winning the championship. He won the title in 1954 and after a de lay of four years he came back to win last year and take the plume again this year. Only Rider He was the only rider of the saddle broncs as all oth ers hit the turf. He also won the Bull Dogging Con test. This year's rodeo fea tured four other colleges besides the University.

Fernando Lagos was trampled by a Brahma bull and Judy Tucker fell off her horse when the cinch broke on her saddle. Several other riders were kicked by ei ther the bulls or the broncs and received some injury. The results of the events are as follows: Bud Reece was the win ner in the Bareback Bronc Riding contest. Dick Span yers was second; Don Simonson was third and Ted Klug was fourth. Elwin Ranney was the only one to place in the Saddle Bronc riding. All other contestants failed to ride their bronc.

According to Dr. Dudley Ashton, chairman of the de partment of physical educa tion for women, physical edu cation is necessary for every body. "If it were just a few girls who were affected, I wouldn't be worrying about this so much," she said. "The University has a tra dition of well-rounded educa tion which it is necessary to continue," Dr. Ashton added. The physical education pro gram has been in effect at the University since 1884 and was ! made a requirement in 1885. Studies are conducted each year among the girls them selves.

"In 1953 when we first began our study, only 91 per cent of the girls involved approved. Since then we have studied their suggestions and come up with a better program." Dr. White Comments Miss Ashton also cited statements by Dr. Paul Dud ley White, physician to Presi dent Eisenhower, to bolster her stand on the issue. According to White, the late teens and early twenties are age groups which are cur rently neglecting physical ex ercise. White feels this may rescult in cardio-vascular ail ments during later years. In answer to these state ments, Dean Walter Militzer of the College of Arts and Sci ences outlined five factors which led to the proposal for abolishment of the require ment: (1) The objective of a uni versity degree is to train the mind. The health of students, If the University accepts the proposal, the administra- I tion will accept the Coun. 1 .., ... . . cil's recommendation before making action against violat - Arc 'Lift to Work' Started Artist on Road to Art Q If it i '- Seyler and 'Philosopher' Cornhusker Bowl Team Falls Hard Colgate Retires (is Untie feated Champs Nebraska's College Bowl team fell apart in the second half Sunday afternoon and lost to veteran Colgate, 245 95.

Members of the NU team were Walter Ross, Russell Rasmussen, Harvey Nelsen and Jon Froemke. They will return to Lincoln by plane, arriving today at 7.2:15 p.m. although important, is the re sponsibility of Student Health, not the degree program. If a doctor agrees that certain exercise is necessary, it should be handled under his direction. (2) The material offered in the first four semesters of physical education is not uni versity level work and should be encouraged on the second ary and elementary levels in stead. The physical develop ment period occurs before university age, not during or after. (3) We feel that only those subjects which are absolutely necessary should be made compulsory. Thus far only English seems to merit such a position. The idea of a "well-rounded education" is too inclusive, and would re quire that speech, anatomy and similar subjects also be compulsory. (4) Students should have as much flexibility as possible in their schedules. Schedules are already crowded and any ad ditional free time will benefit the good students. (5) Physical education is by no means a universal re quirement for a degree. Some major institutions which do not have a requirement are the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Kansas, the University of Minnesota, Purdue, Clemson and Chicago. It is not yet definite when 1 final action on the issue will I r T a iron i be taken. "A lift to work" and nothing more, has allowed some of the fine sculptures of David Seyler, associate professor of art, to begin world-wide ex hibition. Seyler, who studied in Italy, the home country of such masters as Michelango, Don atello and Cellini, was given a grant from Woods Charit able Foundation which per mitted him to study in Flor ence. One morning the direc tor of Tornabuoni gave hira a ride to work. Seyler thought it was nothing more than a lift to work and was sur prised when the director asked to see his work. Not a Word "He looked at my pieces without saying a word until one of the foundrymen came up to ask how I wanted the sculptures packed for ship ment to the United States,-' Prof. Seyler recalled. "Then he asked if I couldn't leave the work in Florence for a while." Seyler agreed and returned to the University to resume his teaching at the start of the spring semester. Last week he recleved word from Tornabuoni that the gal lery had placed his work on exhibition, that two pieces were ordered for purchase, and that a gallery in Vienna and the America House ' in Munich would like to have his "show" before ft is re turned to this country. Admittedly pleased at the attention his small, most of them about a foot high, bronze sculptures are getting in Europe, Prof. Seyler is a little apprehensive about fu ture receptions. 'Not Abstract "My new pieces," he ex plains, "are not abstract. Thre are lots of places now, you know, where if you are not abstract, you are nothing. Abstraction is the thing; it's being done, and you can win little prizes with it. .''But I'm finished with ab straction. I don't get any sat isfaction out of doing it any more," said Seyler. T .
