’Protagonist'
New Council
To Aid Grads
By STARLA STODDARD
Staff Writer
Growing concern for the par
ticular problems of graduate stu
dents has brought about the es
tablishment of a graduate stu
dent advisory council at the Uni
versity.
J. Francis Rummel, in his new
position as Associate Dean of
Students for Graduate Students,
said this was a relatively new po
sition in higher education in this
country. Several state institutions
have some concern about gradu
ate students as such, he said.
Graduate student councils have
been set up at the University of
Michigan and Harvard Univer
sity.
These two graduate student or
ganizations with their own offi
cers and executive committee
meet directly with the dean of
the graduate school to consider
student problems of more con
cern to graduate students.
The advisory council was set
up here because of the large in
crease in graduate students at the
University during the past few
years.
Like Dean of Men
Dean Rummel’s new position is
compared to that of Dean of Men
or Dean of Women for under
graduates, he explained, except
that in his job, he will be more
concerned with the alleviation of
graduate students’ problems ra
ther than with the administra
tion of disciplinary regulations.
He said that he will be serving
as a “protagonist of graduate
students” and as a “funnel
through which the voice of the
graduate student can be heard
by the administration.”

meeting regularly with the gen
eral staff—or entire staff—with
the staff of the graduate school,
and with the graduate council.
He will represent the graduate
student in any administrative con
siderations. In this way, he said,
“we can get better representation
of the graduate student than what
we’ve had in the past.”
The first meeting of the grad
uate student advisory council was
held Jan. 13. At that time, the
general purposes and a working
agreement were decided upon,
but a constitution and by-laws
Women Qualify
For Scholarship
All full-time undergraduate
women students are eligible to
apply for the Delta Delta Delta
scholarship to be awarded this
spring by the University’s chap
ter of the sorority.
The amount of the scholarship
will be determined by the local
Tri-Delta chapter. The winner
here will be automatically eligi
ble for one of the $1,000 national
scholarships.
Applications are available from
the Director of Financial Aid,
Dean of Women, or Service Pro
jects Chairman of the Univer
sity’s Tri-Delta chapter. The ap
plications and letters of recom
mendation must be turned in by
March 1. Successful candidates
will be notified May 1.
were not determined.
The specific purposes of the
advisory council as determined at
their meeting are two-fold: First,
the council will “provide a rep
resentative voice of the Univer
sity graduate student through the
office of student affairs”; sec
ond. it will “identify and ofTer so
lutions to the academic and per
sonal problems of the graduate
students.”
Many Representatives
The advisory council will be
composed of one representative
from each of the departments with
graduate degree programs, in the
school of liberal arts and two rep
resentatives from each of the pro
fessional schools. Individuals pres
ently serving on the council were
either recommended by various
staff members of the departments
or through groups of graduate
students who thought that par
ticular person was better suited
for, or more interested in, the
job.
Rummel said he would like to
encourage every department to
develop some sort of organization
of their graduate students so an
elected representative could be
on the council. Until the last few
years, most departments have had
no specific organization set up
among the graduate students.
The chairman of the advisory
council as elected at the meeting
is Will Richarz, health, physical
education, and recreation. Vice -
chairman is Rhody Rodolico, busi
ness administration. The elected
representative of the ASUO for
graduate students. Rod Roth, is
an ex-officio member of the grad
uate student council to provide
the closest integration of the
council with the over all ASUO.
Communication Problems
Many of the problems that
concern the graduate student are
•problems of communication ra
ther than problems needing ex
tensive administrative action,”
commented Rummel. Through the
council, these problems can be
seen better and something can
be done about them.
Rummel went on to say that
a number of the problems they
will be dealing with are problems
common to both graduate and un
dergraduate students. “The grad
uate council doesn’t intend to op
erate independently of the ASUO
but also in support of ASUO in
problems of common concern.”
Because he has worked closely
with graduate students in the
School of Education since coming
to the University in 1950, Hum
mel’s new position is not really
new. He has been responsible for
a large part of the administration
of doctorate and masters degrees
in the education school and thus
has come into close contact with
the personal and academic prob
lems of the graduate student in
that particular school. In the past
the School of Education has had
the largest number of graduate
students at the University, al
though in the past few years,
other departments have been
coming up.
As far as he knows, Dean Rum
mel said the newly organized
graduate student advisory coun
cil will be a permanent council
at the University.

Chi Phi Elects Seeley
Chi Phi fraternity elected offi

Gould, Roth
I Coiiliinifd from pa hi- I)
He suggested that this applied
to the freshman vice president
and president. The presidency
fell open when President Hoy
Buell went on academic proha
tion. Gould, as vice-president, has
been performing his duties since
then.
The effect of their decision is
that Gould must quit his position
as vice president if he's elected
president. The vice presidency
will then remain open until spring
term elections.
General vs. Specific
The question of Hoth's candi
dacy for a second Senate seat was
more difficult. The Committee fi
nally decided, however, that the
two positions are "incompatible”
because senator at-large “implies
a general interest,” while gradu
ate student representative im
plies a specific interest.
“This raises the possibility that
he would be unable to discharge
one office if he's discharging the
other," Basyc observed.
Basye made it clear that these
decisions applied only to these
offices. They do not necessarily
eliminate the possibility that
someone could still hold two of
flees. For example, if a senator
at-large were to run for a second
senator-at large seat, the logic
applied in Hoth's case wouldn't
work.
Senate Can Clarify
Basye also said that the Sen
ate could make some clarificn
tions in the present constitution
without amending it: "1 would
think that any legislation passed
by the Senate which didn’t con
flict with the constitution would
be acceptable."
The Senate tried to get pass
ed last fall a number of amend
ments to the constitution, one of
which would have prohibited any
one from holding two offices. But
the amendments failed to pass
because not enough students vot
ed.
