Dubin explained that a further rev ision allowed for ’ recognition of other major fields of study by a two-thirds vote of the ASSC Senate membership.
Wally Karabian ASSC president, said the basic motive behind the revision was that of compromise.
“All serious objections, criti-c i s m s and recommendations which have been receiv ed by Dubin and myself have been incorporated in the revisions to the constitution.” be said.
“We have now, I believe, as near a perfect legal document as possible,” Karabian added.
When asked for a prediction of the Senate's vote to approve or disapprove the constitution tomorrow night. Karabian replied:
“I am certain that if the Senate considers the proposed constitution on behalf of the student ed interests, it will pass and be a far better system of government than SC has ever seen.'
He also reported that several universities in the western United States are following the progress and are greatly interested in SC's proposed “field of study” form of government.
Other Revisions
At yesterday’s meeting. Dubin also explained other minor revisions to the constitution.
Th“ presidential veto power was eliminated and given to the entire ASSC Cabinet.
“We felt that the president would have too much power with a veto, so it was given to the 8-man cabinet instead. In this way. the cabinet can discuss the workability of a proposal and make a joint decision.” Dubin explained.
Another revision called for the ASSC secretary *o become the recording officer of the association and the custodian of its record«.
Of most importance, however, is the fact that the holder of this office shall maintain a secretarial staff and supplementary facilities for the use of officers and organizations of the ASSC.
Consider Constitution
Karabian plans to ask the Senate to consider only the order of business concerning the constitution and postpone other items on the agenda.
"The only .exception will be that of a sms 11 talk given by Bernie Pecther. NSA regional vice president on foreign travel.

same sentence, so the play illu-st ates the Italian philosopher Vico’s theory that everything is based on a cycle—the cycle of rain, river, sea. mist, clouds and rain again.
Eternal .Mother
Anna Livia Plurabelle is the eternal mother and eternal woman. as manifested in the River Liffev, which starts in the Wfick low Mountains of Ireland and moves through the Diains. through Dublin, and on to the sea.
From the sea rise the waterv mists which become clouds, drift over the Irish mountains and descend again as rain. And so. as this cycle is eternal. Anna Livia is eternal, and life and the earth are eternal.
In the nlav. the prologue establishes that what one is about to see has been going on since time began, and life in Dublin parallel* that of the cave man.
Facetio-.is Notion
And if this notion isn’t face-] ticus enough, the prologue will ; be olaved almost as a satire on ‘’mothod acting.”
I The nlay goes straight into the wake, where Finnegan lies : dead, and all is, according to re-! norts, exceptionally quiet for an Irish funeral.
Then Finnegan comes ative again as Humohrev Chimpden IFarwicker—a manifestation of the eternal man. Earwicker then has to defend himself to the , church about certain misbehav-j iors which have been revealed in his late life.
Eternal Opposites
His sons. Shem and Shaun, enter. representing the eternal opposing and opposite characters the brothers Cain and Abel, and the relationship of the auiet Shem to Anna Livia is illus-! trated.
Two washerwomen come in and pass some earthv gossip as all women have in all time, and supposedly forever will. While they are washing, two others come in representing the sounds of the River Liffev—the wind
Paper Given By Freeman
Dr. Ronald Freeman, assistant i professor of English, represented i SC at the National Council of Teachers of English convention held last Wednesday through Saturday in Denver.

Dr. Freeman pointed out that instructors teaching Victorian literature must know the latest findings and studies in literature of the period.
and the water—and speak the
sounds of the river.
Then the action goes to H.C.E. s puh. where he drinks much, falls asleep, and dreams, and the ensuing action is his dream. The coffin becomes a mystical ship, with Anna Livia as the figurehead, and they are transported to the land of dreams.
In a series of dreams, the play establishes that Anna Livia is everlasting, shows a wedding scene in which Shaun becomes Anna Livia’s father. Anna Livia the bride, and Shem the bridegroom. and then Anna Livia dies and is carried off. and finally three classroom scenes are played in which Joyce establishes his attitudes on the church, school and the law.
Another Wake
The dreams end, and there is another wake—a long time in the future, for this is a cycle, and there are no flashbacks. It is the same as the original wake, but all are asleep.
H. C. Earwicker awakens, and illustrates the relationship between himself and Anna Livia. Then Anna Livia, his counterpart, delivers a soliloquy on youth and age, love and hat-°. life and death. And the play ends as it began.
World Affairs Will Spotlight Noted Leaders

The Rev. Mr. Crovvther, formerly of England's Oxford University-, will be guest speaker at th® Episcopal Student Center. 854 W. 36th st.

j problem of a lack of responsibil-f ity on the part of fraternity ; men.
“It is the irresponsible individual who causes such incidents as the attack on a UCLA student after the SC-UCLA foot-i ball game.” he said.
Eberhard indicated that the Executive Committee had discussed some positive approaches to raising individual responsibility.
“Because the IFC F,*xecutive Committee has no legislative power and can only suggest, our j proposals will not be announced i until after the regular IFC meeting Thursday,” he said.
Meanw’hile. Dr. William McGrath, assistant dean of students —men, denied a report that the university was planning more stringent control of the Row.
“The University has no intention of changing its policy Upwards the Row and does not plan any policing of 28th st.,” he said.
“Such patrolling of the fraternities would ruin the flavor of university life.” he added.
Slow Start
Dr. McGrath said he believed that although the campaign for I building a greater degree of individual responsibility is getting a slow start, it could develop in-; to a tremendous weapon for eliminating riotous incidents on ! the Row.
Any major policy chans«* proposed by the IFC will have to e;o through regular university : administrative channels before it is officially accepted.
But if the change does not involve the University directly, the IFC has authority to enact ' and enforce any regulation it deems necessary.
Hazing Condemned
Eberhard. who attended the National Interfraternity Conference in New York during the Thanksgiving vacation, reported that college fraternity leaders throughout the nation are now taking a dim view of the old system of hazing pledges and other irresponsible acts.
In a resolution adopted at th* final session of the NIC. the fraternity men urged “fraternities to abolish such practices as i soon as is practically possible.”
Rough hazing practices were also condemned by an alumni section of the conference which urged an end to hazing activities “calculated to bring embarrassment or physical or mental strain in connection with pledge training, initiation or pre-initiation procedures.”
The resolution said undergraduate leaders “believe hazing to be detrimental to the best interests of pledges and inconsistent with the unselfish ideals of fraternities.” and urged its abolition as soon as practical.
