This wheel of the University composed of deans, college representatives, key staff members and the President's assistants discusses questions of concern to the entire University such as the raise in tuition, cur- rent registration process or the progress of the building program. Far from being a one-way organization, this committee serves as an efficient means of dis- seminating information throughout the school. Composed of representatives from all college de- partments concerned with maior campus activities plus the presidents off the student council, Independents, Panhellenic and lnterfraternity Councils, the Student Activities Committee distributes funds and authorizes new campus organizations. Its most recent decision brought the Pen and Sword group for bootstrappers into campus affairs. Editors, business managers, representatives of the business office, journalists, administrative representa- tives and two members elected by the student body meet four times a year to evaluate use of student publication funds, discuss Tomahawk and Gateway progress, policies and advertising. The Board of Stu- 'dent Publications directed by Chairman Paul Peterson also selects student editors. v-1uni.:....3

The hum of machinery, the metal tool box, the much too heavy drawing board, and the cold red noses of the Saturday morning surveying class . . . to Omaha University students these things mean the engineering department is at work. Given impetus by Russia's Sputnik, this depart- ment's increased enrollment has created a problem. Classes have outgrown the East Quonset, and so it is with special interest that the campus engineers are looking forward eagerly to the completion of the Applied Arts Building. With more space and facilities available the engineer- ing department may continue to train stu- dents to fill the needs of a free people continuously demanding a better life. SYLVESTER V.
