Upperclass Regents
Exam Discontinued
A Regents examination for
upperclass Regents scholar
ships will not be given this
year, according to Dr. Ed
ward Lundak, director of scho
larships and financial aids.
Lundak said the upperclass
scholarships will be given this
year on the basis of the stu
dent's grade average. For
merly, the scholarships were
awarded on the combined
basis of the grade average
and the test scores.
Whether the elimination of
the test will be a permanent
situation is not certain, Lun
dak said. "I would think it
will be permanent," he
added.
Lundak explained that the
Regents exams for upperclass
scholarships will not be given,
essentially because the ad
ministration feels they are not
needed. The tests, he said,
are basically designed to be
used as a prediction of the
student's abilities.
"We're interested in the
college student's achiev
ment," Lundak said, adding
that predicting what the stu
dent will do is unnecessary
Zariski
Math Expert
To Lecture
One of the nation's top ma
thematicians who received
the Medal of Science Award
from President Johnson in
February will lecture at the
University Tuesday.
Dr. Oscar Zariski, a mem
ber of the mathmatics dcp
partmcnt at Harvard Univer
sity, will speak on "Some
Questions Concerning Single
tarles of Algebraic Varieties."
He Is the father of Prof.
Raphael Zariski, a political
sceintist at the University.
Zariski has received world
wide recognition in his field
for organizing geometry on a
solid ba.is. He began this
study in 1930.
, He received the Medal of
Science "for his creation of a
rigorous abstract theory of al
gebraic geometry, and for his
profound influence on the al
gebraic structure of contem
porary pure mathematics."
The mathematician will
speak in room 104 Burnett
Hall at 3:30 p.m. His appear
ance was arranged by the
department of mathematics
and the Research Council.

when the records of what he
has done are available.
Regents exams will con
tinue to be used in awarding
Regents scholarships to high
school seniors, Lundak noted.
He said the test is definitely
needed for high school stu
dents because it is an effec
tive means of predicting how
the student will perform in
college.
Lundak. said another factor
in the elimination of the up
perclass Regents exam was
the "extreme difficulty of
making a .test that is fair to
everyone."
He explained that it is diffi
cult to compose a test that is
"fair to five different col
leges and to nine different ma
jors." Students specializing in
a specific field might find
questions in that field elemen
tary and questions in another
field difficult.
Lundak said requests were
made last year by administra
tors for the removal of the
exam, but since it had been
prepared it was given as usu
al. This year, he said, Chan
cellor Clifford Hardin re
quested that the exams be dis
continued. Over 6,000 students have ap
plied for the 500 available up
perclass Regents schol
arships, Lundak said. Eligi
bility requirement for appli
cation was a 3.0 average.
Lundak noted that students
who now have four year Re
gents scholarships are re
quired to maintain a 3.1 aver
age to keep the scholarship.

A series of amendments
proposing the establishment
of the office of ASUN second
vice president to deal with the
executive branch was passed
by Student Senate Wednes
day. The issue will appear on the
April 27 ballot for ratification
by the students.
If th proposal is defeated at
the election, candidates for
the post will "just be out of
luck," noted Larry Frolik,
ASUN vice president
Supervise Committees
According to the proposal,
the second vice president
would be chosen by election,
would supervise executive
committees and would have a
non-voting seat on the Student
Senate.
He would not, however, be
in the line of succession to the
presidency.
The original proposal con
sisting of 17 separate amend
ments was presented by
ASUN President Kent Neu
meister. Establishment of the posi
tion would split up the work
load and add more leadership
to the ASUN, he said.
According to the original
plan, the second vice presi
dent would be chosen on the
basis of runner-up to the first
vice president in the general
election.
Discussion revolved around
subsequent amendments to
the original proposals.
Several Amendments
One such amendment,
which was defeated was pro
posed by Sen. Andy Taube and
stated that the second vice
president should be the runner-up
to the president rath
er than the vice president.
"A candidate willing to
take on the responsibilities of
the president would probably
be a more capable individ
ual," he said. "Also the sec
ond vice president will have
to represent the ASUN on
various occasions and some
one capable enough to run for
president would be a good
representative."
Sen. Kelley Baker objected
t o the amendment on the
grounds that the position was
"one of a junior executive
where one could learn. It
would be good preparation for
the next year."
'Work With President'
Sen. Ron Psota pointed out
that the second vice president
would, of necessity, be work
ing closely with the presi
dent and that, if this amend
ment would carry, they would
be opponents in the election.
Taube replied that since
both candidates would be run
ning for "the good of the Uni
versity they would most likely
pull together to apply some
senior leadership."
"That is a good idea," said
Sen. Curt Bromm, "but what
if someone wanted president
or nothing?"
"If someone were running
for president, he would ob
viously have a desire to lead
and it shouldn't be a stab to
his pride to accept the other,"
answered Sen. Don Voss.
Frolik noted, "The runner
up for president should not
IDCC Articles
Stand Approved
By Nancy Henrickson
Junior Staff Writer
The purpose and member
ship articles of an interdorm
council constitution were tem
porarily approved at the In
terdom Coordinating Commit
tee (IDCC) meeting Tuesday
evening.
The articles stand approved
until the entire constitution is
completed and voted upon.
According to the articles,
the purpose of the council
will be to act as a self-governing
body and to coordinate
the residence halls.
The council will also discuss
and regulate matters of gen
eral interest to the whole resi
dence hall system and serve
as an agency to maintain re
lations between the admini
stration and residents.
The membership article
states that all students living
in University residence halls
automatically be guaranteed a
job. Running for president
should be all or nothing."
"To my mind the Univer
sity would be better repre
rented by a runner-up to
president than vice presi
dent," stressed Taube.
Sen. Liz Aitken pointed out
that the duties of the second
vice president were more
analogous to those of the vice
president than the president
and that therefore the motion
should be defeated.
An amendment by Sen. Sal
ly Morrow that was passed
and resulted in a change in
the election of the post stated
that the second vice president
should be elected separately
from the other offices.
"It would be better to have
the office they want with
specific duties to run for,"
she noted.
Leadership Positions
Sen. Bob Samuelson added,
"Leadership positions on cam
pus have not changed in ac
cordance with the rise in en
rollment. I don't see any
That's Greek To Me'
Sav Lincoln Mailmen
Greek letters do not make
good addresses, according to
Lincoln postmen.
This was the answer given
by the post office to the re
cent complaints from fratern
ities and sororities concerning
the delivery of the mail.
Many Greek houses report
they are involved o some ex
tent in getting each other's
letters and packages.
A representative from Al
pha Omicron Pi sorority said,
"We--received thrfle letters,
for the Thetas today. The
service could be much better.
We get wrong letters period
ically every semester." She
also noted that her house re
ceives mail for the Phi Kap
pa Psi fraternity house.
Many other sororities also
receive fraternity mail. The
Phi Delta Theta and Alpha
Tau Omegas should check the
Alpha Delta Pi house, said
one sorority member. That
house receives much mail for
fraternity houses.
Karen Hastings of Alpha
Delta Pi, stated, "One girl
lost a check for her house bill
and we found it at the Kappa
Delta house."
All four sorority houses on
University .Terrace get mixed
up mail, according to their
spokesmen. But the most co
mmon mistakes in delivery

WTiose symbols are alike.
Chi Omega mail frequently
goes to Alpha Chi Omega,
Kappa Delta mail winds up
at the Delta Gamma house
and Kappa Sigma letters go
to Kappa Kappa Gamma.
"It's really not a big pro
blem, just a little irritating."
said a member of Alpha Chi
Omega.
Most Greek houses return
the mail to the postman if it
which have approved the con
stitution will be members of
the council and will be enti
tled to take part in all activ
ities of the council.
Tom Holeman, Abel Hall
representative, asked if the
council would have the right
to say what the opinions of
the residence hall are as a
body.
"I don't think we can force
this constitution on every res
idence," he said.
Ted Suhr, Selleck represen
tative, said that the council
would represent all the resi
dences who were members
and had approved the consti
tution. The committee also dis
cussed the officers and elec
tions for the proposed inter
dorm council.
A committee will draft ad
ditional articles for the con
stitution to be considered at
the IDCC meeting next week.
handicap in creating other
leadership positions."
"This year the president
and vice president were
elected on the same plat
form," he added. "Three ex
ecutive positions would pro
vide a basis around which to
build a political party."
Taube agreed, "This way
we could have a more cap
able person in office and not
just tlje runner-up to the first
vice president."
"It would seem that the
best people would run for the
higher offices," said Sen. Pam
Wood.
Direct Election 'Best'
Sen. Bob Lott noted, "A di
rect election of the second
vice president would be best.
People will be voting for one
man for first vice president,
not two."
Sen. Cuz Guenzal added,
"Let the people voting decide
who they want for an office
and let it be their first
choice."

establishment of the position
were rejected at the polls.
Frolik answered, "It would
just be too bad."
Taube added, "I don't think
the students would defeat the
measure if good reasons were
offered."
Also in the course of dis
cussion, an amendment plac
ing the second vice president
in the line of succession to the
presidency was proposed and
defeated.
Psota, who proposed the
motion, said that the second
vice president was an elected
office and therefore should be
in line for the presidency.
Sen. Bill Coufal, speaker-of-theHouse,
disagreed, "Since
this vice president is for the
executive branch and would
therefore be a little separate
from the Senate."
Voss added that having the
second vice president in line
would not necessarily be good
as "he would not be any more
capable than the speaker.
"One thing in favor of hav-

be more representative of the
University as a whole rather
than anv one college," said
Tsota.
Reapportionment
In other business, the Sen
ate approved reapportionment
of the Senate for next year.
The original motion was
presented by Carol Bischoff,
director of the ASUN elec
toral commission, and was
amended by Miss Aitken.
The original reapportion
ment was four senators from
Agriculture and Home Econo
mies, four from Engineering
and Architecture, nine from
Arts and Sciences, four from
Business Adminstration, sev
en from Teachers and seven
from the professional schools
and graduate college.
The amendment changed
the motion to have one repre
sentative from the profession
al schools and six from grad
uate college.
Miss Bischoff's motion said
that in the event not enough
candidates apply from any
one college, the college with
the greatest percentage of un
represented students would
get another representative.
She explained that the pro
fessional schools like law, den
tistry and pharmacy had been
combined with the graduate
college because there seemed
to be little interest in student
government from the grad
uate college
Miss Aitken amended the
motion to separate represen
tatives from the two because
"it isn't ours to judge in
terest. If a college deserves
representation because of its
numbers, it is entitled to the
representatives. If not enough
interest is shown, there is a
means of reapportioning."
Voss agreed, "We must fol
low apportionment or we
might as well have all the
candidates run at large."
IFC Voles

office secretary, Mrs. Jea

Wednesday night.
"Mrs. Mason is a diligent,
ambitious and wonderful per

upon making the motion.
"This, I think, will show her
our appreciation for the hard
work she does."
He noted that it had been
about three or four years
since Mrs- Mason had last re
ceived a raise. He said the
increase was taken into con
sideration in the $2,700 al
lotted in the IFC budget for
Mrs. Mason's salary.
Tutoring Discontinued
The IFC also voted to dis
continue the Sunday tutoring
sessions and reinstitute them
again next semester.
The action came on a mo
tion by Jerry Olson, IFC scho

tutorjng sessions had been
very poor.
Jim DeMars, publications
