No Tribunal Meeting;
Absence of Quorum
The scheduled Thursday
meeting of the Student Tri
bunal was adjourned at the
absence of a sufficient quor
um to conduct business.
The meeting was called to
elect the new Chairman of
the Tribunal and to explain
the duties and responsibilities
of the Tribunal to the new
judges.
The newly appointed judges
include Richard Schmoker,
Harold DeHart, Bill Holland,
Pat Manrose, Steve Tempero,
Tom Chandler, and Dick Ros
enburg. Judge Pat Manrose, in
commenting on the recent
Student Council move to in
vest the Tribunal with final
power in all cases excluding
explusion or suspension from
the University, commented,
"In the final analysis, Student
Tribunal as it now stands, is
nearly powerless. The mem
bers of the Tribunal are quali
fied and intelligent enough to
pass respectable decisions,"
he continued.
"This is apparent by re
viewing the record. Only
eighteen of the more than 150
cases tried last year were
reversed by the Dean of Stu
dent Affairs," Manrose
pointed out.
In commenting on the fu
ture of the Tribunal, Manrose
said, "Better communication
between the Division of Stu
dent Affairs is a definite ne
cessity. Also, the students of
the University should be in
formed on the functions and
duties of the Tribunal," he
concluded.
Jules Feiffer, a nationally
syndicated cartoonist, will be
featured in the Daily Ne
braskan beginning Sept. 27.
Feiffer is 30 years old, is
tall, is near
sighted, has
trouble with
his sinuses,
and is unmar
ried. He lives
in a section
of New York
called Brook
lyn Heights.
In the past,
he has lived
in the Bronx Feiffer
(his birthplace), Manhattan
(his transition period), and
the U.S. Army (his passive
resistance period).
He has always drawn pic
tures. At five he won a gold
medal for drawing Tom Mix
jailing some outlaws. Know
ing a good thing when he
saw it, he drew nothing else
for the next three years. But,
there were no more gold
medals.
He went to school in New
York, receiving his art train
ing at the Art 'Students'
League and Pratt Institute. j
He was employed as assistant
to several cartoonists. For
three years he ghost-scripted
a syndicated feature and
drew a Sunday page called
"Clifford."
"I've led a checkeredless
career," he says.
In 1951 he dropped every
thing and hitchhiked around
the country. He returned
home and got drafted. In the
army he began writing books
of cartoon satire. Once out of
service lie tried, without suc
cess, to interest various pub
lishers. Finally, in an effort
to get his work before an au
dience, he began contributing
cartoons to The Village Voice,

LN THE OLDEN DAYS Ellen Smith Hall
wa the scene iu the early 1920's for the
annual Dean's Tea. Dressed in their "Sun
day best" refinery, NU women students
I
attended the tea which was then, as it is
now, scheduled for the purpose of meeting
the Dean of Women.
Annual Dean's Tea This Afternoon
Welcomes New Women to Campus
The annual Dean's Tea,
which is held for the purpose
oi welcoming new women
students to the campus, win
be held today in the Pan
American room of the Union
from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m.
In the receiving line will be
Associate Dean of Student
Affairs, Miss Helen A. Sny
der; Mrs. Clifford Hardin,
Miss Madeline Girard, Pan
hellenic director; Mrs. Mar
garet Wenke, resident direc
tor of the Residence Halls
for Women and Mrs. Roger
Koehn, assistant to the Dean.
Representatives of more
than 40 women's organiza
tions will assist during the
tea which is sponsored by
Panhellenic.
Introducing guests to the
receiving line will be Susan
Walburn, vice-president of
Panhellenic and Linda Lue
king, secretary of Panhellen
ic. Serving will be Nancy
Miller, president of Mortar
Board; Patty Spilker, presi
dent of Associated Women
Students; Norma Country
man, vice-president of Inde
pendent Women Students and
Joanie Graves, president of
Alpha Lambda Delta. Su-
sanne Oberle will provide or
gan music for the occasion.
Originated by former Dean
of Women Amanda Heppner,
the tea was held annually in
Ellen Smith Hall which for
merly stood on the corner of
14th and R Streets. The halls
of the old mansion were
banked with flowers and
greenery provided by the
University greenhouse. Tea
tables were set up in both
the court and sitting room.
Faculty wives and women
were originally hostesses for
tne tea.
Selection
The girl will be selected on
athletic beauty, costume, and
success in kicking, passing
and centering a football.
Pomts may be given on the
shortness and tightness of the
slacks worn by the young
lovelies, according to rally
cnairmen.
Husker grid co-captains
Dwain Carlson and Bill (Thun
der) Thornton will serve as
the girls' teammates in the
various contests. The tackling
of Miss Quarterback will cli
max the rally.
Speeches by Devaney and
Dye and some new cheers
will highlight the rally.
The administration has put
an emphatic "no" to letting
fraternity pledge classes have
a sign carrying contest, ac
cording to Corn Cob officials.
Apparently the injuries suf
fered by pledges in the past
became too numerous.
Signs Outlawed
Until 1900 the sign carrying
contest was the highlight of
the first rally. The idea was
for the pledge classes to race
for a first position at the Un
ion and at the same time
destroy other pledge classes'
signs.
Pledges of Delta Tau Delta
also will not be able to carry
their bell. The bell which
formerly belonged to the Phi
Delta Thetas in the past has
incited near riots.
The Cornhuskers will open
their 19C2 season against the
Coyotes at 2 p.m. at Memo
rial Stadium.
Russian Visitors

Eight top Russian officials
will attend the Nebraska
South Dakota football game
