Counselor
System
Revised
In an effort to "unify and
enlighten the University of
Nebraska's women students,"
Associated Women Students
(AWS) is revising The Coed
Counselor Program, once an
active and effective organiza
tion on the campus.
In years past, the program
served as a summer counsel
ing program for incoming
freshman girls and also held
forums during the year with
speakers and guests. AWS is
now attempting to reinstate
this forum idea and reorgan
ize the counseling program.
Each women's living unit
has been asked to elect a
member who will serve as
team captain in assisting in
the forums planned for the
first semester of next year.
These girls would also be in
charge of a committee of
summer coed counselors to
incoming girls.
The team captains are re
quired to attend an orienta
tion meeting today at 5 p.m.
in the Union. The room num
ber is posted.

SPRING DAY MADNESS
folen Springs Tutn
For some time now stu
dents having been hearing
the tempting thought that
spring turns a young man's
fancy to bikinis and bever
ages. This slogan which
was incorporated by the
Spring Day publicity com
mittee has raised the hopes
of many that Spring Day
is going to be a "woodsie".
Also the joys of sleep
have been greatly hindered
for many due to the ab
sence of bed springs which
can now be found in some
most inappropriate places.
It may be noted also that
the change in the campus
mall trees is not a first aid
project or bug prevention
rick but rather the coiling
effect of the crepe paper

White told his audience that
fate plays tricks; those who
do good work often find them
selves doing more work. Pros
pects and responsibilities fac

some, but exciting, challeng
ing and thrilling. There are
many opportunities for the
lawyer to shape the course
of his "community, state and

Lydick
Ldoek Ds President;
Ul n n rp n n r
ni u I v . e r s Is B e c u e
John Lydick was elected
president of the 1964-65 Stu
dent Council yesterday on a
platform of a constitutional
convention in the fall and a
changed structure of student
government at the University.
Johan Stratemann was
elected first vice president,
the first time a women has
held this position. Miss Strate-
man told the council the iu
diciary committee, of which
she will now be chairman, will
play an important part in the
proposed constitutional con
vention.
Lydick's opponent was Bob
Kerrey. Kerrey's speech em
phasized the Council's duty to
the student body, the im
provement of present Coun
cil programs, and the neces
sity of acting as a student
problem solving organization.
, "If we solve but one im
portant problem we will be
come a stronger organiza
tion," Kerrey said.
The Council is at a point
where it must make the
choice between being a gov
erning body and a service or
ganization," Lydick said, in
outlining his plans for the
future of the Council.
Lydick described his goal
of the introduction of the As
sociated Students of the Uni
versity, a plan by which
every students would support
the student government with
eight cents out of his tuition,
resulting in Council's becom
ing an effective student gov
erning body rather than "an
other organization."
The associated students
plan is used at every B i g
Eight Conference School with
the exception of the Univer
sity, Lydick said. "An organi
zation of associated students
is a unifying factor giving us
the power to represent all the
students."
"We, the sudent governing
body, need this power if our
very existence is to have
meaning."
A significant plank in Ly
dick's platform was that the
Council president, if the as
sociated students plan were
Taking the place of the
excitement and fun of to
morrow's events will be a
different kind of excite
ment with the addition of
suspence in Saturday's pro
gram. One of Saturday's feat
ures will be the announce
ment of the May Queen.
Earlier this year all women
living units nominated girls
and then an all senior and
junior girl vote decided the
finalists for My Q u e e n.
.Another vote by the senior
and junior girls picked the
May Queen, who will be an
nounced Saturday.
Another addition in this
year's Ivy Day is a change
in the Queen's throne. The
change comes in the form
of painting the balls on the
throne silver and erecting
a large diamond shaped af
fair behind it commemor

Miss Stratemann
introduced, would act as stu
dent body president, giving
the entire campus an identi
fication with him. The presi
dent would be elected direct
ly by the students.
Lydick indicated that the
Associated Students of the
University will have to be a
result of the constitutional
convention, which will con
vene shortly after the Council
reorganizes in the fall. Dele
gates to the convention under
Lydick's plan, would include
personally selected campus
leaders as well as 1 officers
from Associated Women Stu
dents (AWS), Independent
Women's Association (IWA),
Panhellenic Council, Cather
Hall, the Residence Associa
tion for Men (RAM), Inter
Co-op Council (ICC)? Inter-
Fraternity Council (IFC) and
one appointed member from
each college.
The results of the constitu
tional convention will be sub
mitted to the judiciary com
mittee within three months
after the beginning of the cal
endar year, Lydick said, in
order that the new constitu
tion can be on the first se
mester ballot in December.
Lydick called for a com
bination of college and resi
dence organization represen
tation. Student Council should
not have to be concerned
with educational matters such
as handing out registration
cards and involving itself
with the curriculum calen
dar. "Our concern should not
be whether the majority of
Student Council Members are
independent or Greek."
Service organizations
should not be represented, he
said, and should be used in
an advisory capacity rather
than as a component of the
Council. The residence organ

Architecture Student Wins
Grant For European Trip
A University architecture
student, Joseph Wills Jr., was
awarded the Clark and Ener
sen Foreign Travel Scholar
ship for the 1964 school year
Friday.
Each year a fourth or fifth
year University student sub
mitting the best solution to a
given design problem, is
given a financial grant for a
foreign study trip.
Wills' winning entry was
the design for a pavilion for
Indian arts and crafts and
was drawn with the criticism
of his professor, Homer
Puderbaugh.
Wills has chosen a trip to
Europe to study medieval
town planning and the period
of Art Nouveau architecture
to the present.

IFC, Cather Hall, RAM and
Inter co-op Council.
Kerrey's convention plan
included representatives of
John Klein's proposed consti
tution, the present Council
and the new Council, as well
as any interested students.
"The constitutional conven
tion could be the most dynam
ic step taken by the Council
in years," Kerrey said. He
suggested using the present
constitution and the proposed
changes as "references" in
drawing up a new document.
The new constitution under
Kerrey's plan would be de
bated on the floor of Council
before going on the ballot.
Kerrey also outlined the
progress and possiblities of
improvement in various Coun
cil programs, including the
Masters, senators, Peace
Corps, quiz bowl, Alpha Phi
Omega book exchange, stu
dent welfare and Council pub
licity. He called for an hon
ors system at the University
and a representative on the
Faculty Committee on
Scholarships and Financial
Aids, because "this commit
tee does not adequately inform
students of scholarship avail
able here."
In response to a question
following his speech, Kerrey
said, "Realistically, we are
not a governing body, wc
should be a voice for the stu
dents, working to solve their
problems.
Lydick defined the Coun
cil's growth as part of an
evolutionary process and "the
time has come to accelerate
the process and make signifi
cant changes in th concept
ion of our true purpose."
He also recommended that
Council associates be given
more responsibility and work

University. Wills is a Merit
and Regents' scholar and is a
member of Sigma Tau, engi

Miss Strateman's election
came after an extensive
Council discussion about her
and candidates Mike Barton
and Galen Frenzen. She has
represented Council on Re
ligion (COR) this year.
Bob Kerrey was elected sec
ond vice president for next
year by voice vote of the
Council after he was the only
candidate recognized. Mike
Barton was nominated but
"respectfully declined."
Miss Strateman told the
Council that the judiciary
committee would have to be
fully prepared for the fall
constitutional convention and
research for that convention.
"The judiciary committee
should review the convention's
proposed constitution and sug
gest incongruences because it
has the power to review or
ganizational constitutions. It
should then have the knowl
edge to do so," Miss Strate
man said of the committee's
function at the convention.

Hunter College Paper
Divided For Next Fall
New York (CPS) The ARROW, student newspaper of
Hunter College, will split into seperate, single-campus papers
next fall as part of the agreement which brought it back to
the stands last Monday after a one week suspension.
The paper has operated on
a bi-campus basis since its
formation. It has become in
creasingly difficult to coordi
nate news coverage and staffs
at both the Bronx and Park
Avenue branches of t h e
school. The proposed split
was one of the issues causing
internal dissension within the
paper which led to the tem
porary suspension.
President John Mcng, who
had announced ARROW'S
suspension because the paper
"no longer has an effective
editorial board to direct its
activities," authorized the re
sumption of publication on the
recommendation of an ad hoc
committee of the two deans
of students and the two stu
dent council presidents. Edi
tor of the ARROW, Allan
Coleman, also helped formu
late the recommendations
which put the paper back in
to circulation :
The split between the up
town and downtown branches
of the paper, resolving a
heated dispute that had been
raging for several months.
The merger of the uptown
branch of the paper with a
second, mimeographed news
letter that has always d i s
tributed on the uptown cam
pus only.
The endorsement of Allan
Coleman as editor-in-chief for
the remainder of the year.
The establishment of a
Publications Board which
would serve as an arbiter for
disputes such as the ones that
led to the Arrow's suspension,
and as a buffer between the
paper and the student body
and administration.

Barton
called "an adjustable conven
tion organization" to Council
members. Barton outlined a
pjlan including area commit
tees from living units or dis
tricts. Fraternities, sororities,
dorm floors and halls, co-ops,
Unicorns and Towne Club
were included.
Barton said the convention
would be Student Council su
pervised, but "representative
in nature." He told Council
members if they wanted a tru
ly "representative constitu
tion," his plan should be ac
ceptable although he stressed
it should be quite flexible.
The third candidate, Galen
Frenzen, questioned whether
a definite plan should be pre
sented by a first vice presi
dent hopeful. He said that
since that officer will play a
big role in the convention, he
should go into the convention
"open-minded."
"We must generate interest
in the students before we can
consider changing the repre
sentation system," Frenzen
said.
the committee's recommenda
tions and announced Arrow's
reinstatement Friday after
noon. The Publications Board
will consist of the dean of
dents, two faculty members,
two student council members
and the Editor-in-Chief and
one other Editorial Board
member of all publications In
volved, Including the Arrow,
the literary magazine, the
political science journal and
the yearbook. The Board is
explicitly prohibited from ex
ervising either pre- or post
censorship against any of the
publications, and cannot ini
tiate any action on its own.
The internal conflict on the
Arrow became public two
weeks ago when five mem
bers of the Editorial Board
brought impeachment charges
against the editor, Allan Cole
man, for "neglect of duty and
abuse of authority." The
charges were dismissed on
the grounds that the proced
ure for taking the impeach
ment vote was illegal.
Following the dismissal
Coleman announced his inten
tion of bringing counter
charges of "libel, perjury and
misrepresentat i o n" against
the five impeachers, charges
which have since been
dropped.
President Meng, in announc
ing the suspension, had de
clared that "Arrow no longer
has an effective Editorial
Board to direct its activities
. . . I hope that such an
effective staff may be formed
without delay, and that the
publication may be resumed
