fore yesterday morning, but
at that time only 16 of them
had been filed.
No applications have been
returned from the Colleges of

students will take advantage
of this opportunity for repre

"A graduate student could
be a valuable asset to the
Council and I would like to
see this new system given a
fair chance." Graduate rep
resentation was increased
with an amendment last year
which goes into effect next
fall.
Add
iss, Croiut Concert
To Show World Irani
Folk sincers Addiss and Cro-
fut, who have appeared every
where from Japan to Kenya,
bring literally a "world of tal
ent" to the Union ballroom
April 17 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Tickets are 1 at the Union
ticket desk to hear ambassa
dor musicians who have sung
and played in over 20 lan
guages. The event is spon
sored by the Union special
events committee.
Steve Addiss and Bill Cro-
fut renewed their high school
acquaintance in Japan where
Crofut was serving his Army
nbiiirat on. Crofut had been
playing at Japanese and Kor
ean orphanages and after his
discharge, Prince Mikwa
asked him to give a concert
tour.
Crofut's successful Japanese
tour led to a U.S. State De
partment invitation for an Asi
an and African tour. Feeling
the two artists would be more
effective than one. Crofut sent
for Addiss who joined him and
received his own grant from
the State Department.
Most of the pair's enthusi
estic receptions stem from
their personal treatment of
each country thev visit. Even
in Ethoipia, where they had
less than three hours between
arrival and concert time, they
learned one of that nation's
popular melodies.

As a result of their trip,
Crofut is known as Gsiosio
"the energy-filled one" and
Addiss as Changmu "fte
mysterious one" by the Kisli
Tribe in Kenya. Profis from
some of their concerts is be
ing donated to preventive
medicine clinics in Kenya and
Nigeria.
Addiss and Crofut caught
the public eye in November of
1962 when they sang at a
party for delegates to the Uni
ted Nations. A satirical ditty
of their own called "Twelve
Days with Krushchev," por
traying the summit meeting
between Khrushchev and the
late President John Kennedy
highlighted their evening.
Among the charmed audi
ence was U.S. Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson. Record exec
utives soon heard of the suc
cessful evening and Addiss
and Crofut soon became a
well-heard attraction of folk
singing buffs.
Since their State Depart
ment tour they have com
pleted a book, "Folk Music
Around the World" and a
film, "Songfest in Burma,"
both of which were designed
for people of the Far and Mid
dle East, Southeast Asia and
Africa. Addiss and Crofut
have starred on the CBS show
"Calendar," and NBC'S
"Wide, Wide World."

on
day in a lengthy meeting, was
originally introduced as a rec
ommendation of the represen.
tation committee chairman
on March 25. It was tabled at
that time in order to give AUF
time to present their case for
representation. Weill termed
this act the "'inadvertant ere
ation of a pocket veto."
Weill's statement came yes
terday in answer to a letter
he received from Ron Rogow
ski and Bob Cherny challeng
ing Wednesday's action on the
basis of the required deadline
for placing ameTments on
the ballot. "That deadline
expired on April 6," they said,
"'We should like to call the
attention of your committee
to what we believe to be as
inadvertant error on the part
of the Student Council at last
Wednesday's meeting (April
8.) At that session, according
to the DAILY NEBRASKAN,
a proposed amendment to the
Student Council Constitution
was submitted by two-thirds
majority; its purpose was to
give an organizational seat to
All University Fund.
'If necessary," the letter
continued, we shall file an
official challenge to prevent
the placing of this proposal
on the ballot. Please advise
us on your decision and the
proper procedures for any ac
tions you consider it neces
sary for us to take to bring
this matter to consideration.'
'"Rogowski and Cherny hav
brought to the judiciary com
mittee's attention a procedur
al error as far as the AUF
proposal is concerned," said
Weill.
"Without the full commit
tee's ruling as they will
do in the near future it would
seem to me that their protest
is well based that AUF's at
tempt to get a Student Coun
cil seat cannot appear on this
spring's ballot. It would have
to wait until a constitutional
elecion next December."
Jim Baer, chairman of the
representation committee,
said that the problem centers
around the definition of the
word 'submit." Baer, who in
troduced the AUF proposal,
said that his committee was
aware that tabling the motion
would not allow it to return
the floor until after the dead
line, but that they interpreted
the constitution to mean that
the amendment must be in
troduced to Student Council
before the deadline.
"When you submit the mo
tion to the Council you are
submitting it to the students
because the Council is repre
senting the students," said
Baer. "After it comes onto
the floor of the Council lt is
available to news media and
is therefore known to all stu
dents." NAMED
