Mandolin Concert
Set for Tonight
A full orchestra featuring man
dolin; will apocar at 8 p m to
day in McArthur Court when
the Japanese Mandolin Orchestra
makes its first University appear
ance.
The program will include Ital
ian classics, semi-classics, folk
songs, Latin, European. Ameri
can, and Japanese music.
The orchestra is made up of
several sections, including first
and second tenor, contralto, gui
tar, cello, and double-bass. There
are also fluios, clarinets, and per
cussion instruments.
Because the United States has
no mandolin orchestras, the group
was brought to this country by
the Society for International Cul
tural Exchange. The orchestra
hopes to promote understanding
and international friendships and
to increase American familiarity
with mandolin music. In Japan,
the mandolin orchestra is an ex
tremely popular form of music.
Tickets for the concert are on
sale at the main desk of the SU
and at the Mattox Pipe shop.
Price is SI. The concert is being
sponsored by the SU Board

Senator Disputes
Constitution Vote
By RON COWAN
Emerald News Editor
ASUO Senator-at-large Raul Soto-Seelig has charged that
the recent ASUO Senate vote on constitutional revisions was
unconstitutional, and is working to have the matter reconsid
ered by the group, possibly preventing its appearance on the
Oct. 30 ballot.
Soto-Seelig is requesting a special Senate meeting to ap
prove appointments to the constitutional committee. The
committee would then rule on the constitutionality of the
vote.

Budget Committee
Studies Fund Cuts
Conjecture on possible cuts in
University budgets was made in
Saturday morning’s meeting of
the Student Union and Educa
tional Activities Budget Commit
tee.
So definite action can be taken
by the budget committee until
the State Board of Higher Educa
tion is able to give further direc
tion to the University The State
Board will meet Oct 28 and 29
The discussion of allocations is
a result of the defeat of the Oct.
15 tax referendum.
Talk at the budget board prin
cipally centered around whether
a decrease in the budget would
best be met by an increase in in
come or a decrease in expendi
tures. according to A L (Si)
Ellingson. Student Union direc
tor.
He said that after budgets were
made last spring most committee
members felt that if any more
money were cut out some pro
grams would be eliminated.
So single line items, which
would involve specific programs,
were discussed at Saturday’s meet
ing.
The budget committee will
meet 8 a m. Oct. 31.
a delaying action,” said Sunday
that he had not appointed any
one to the committee yet.
If the move is ruled unconsti
tutional. then the question of re
vision will not appear on the gen
eral election ballot.
Sherburne said he could not
make any decision on the matter
until be conferred with ASUO
Vice-President Bruce McKeel
who was still out of town Sun
day night. He expressed doubt,
however, that a special Senate
meeting will be called.
He anticipated that the vote
will go as planned, but said this is
not definite.
Senator Walks Out
The Senate voted, 12-6. Thurs
day night to present several con
stitutional revisions to the stu
dent body in the Oct. 30 general
election. Soto-Seelig walked out
of the meeting in protest after
the vote.
Technically the Senate vote
could be considered unconstitu
tional since a two-thirds majority
of the Senate membership is re
quired to approve motions involv
ing constitutional amendments.
Total membership at the time of
the vote was 22 with 10 offices re
maining vacant until the general
election.
Soto-Seelig said during the
meeting that the 126 vote was
not sufficient to have the revi
sions placed on the ballot Sher
burne said this wasn’t the case
since the Senate had approved
each of the revisions by a two
thirds majority last spring Soto
Seelig was ruled out of order.
Asks Special Meeting
Sunday the senator presented
a letter to Sherburne requesting
that he "call for a special ASUO
Senate meeting to receive approv
al of your appointments to the
constitutional committee.
"The Constitutional committee
has a request to rule unconstitu
tional the action taken by the
ASUO Senate regarding the place
ment of a set of constitutional
amendments on the ballot.

cial meeting at once. If the con
