"Making an effort to do a thing is next to actually doing it."
BELLS, RING TRUE
It is very discouraging to find that one has reached a class
room just as a professor has finished calling the roll, especially when
there seemed to have been ample time for getting there. Recently
such a state of affairs has been due, not to tardiness on the part of
the students, but to the fact that there has been a noticeable incon
sistency in the time of the ringing of gongs in the various buildings.
When a gong sounds the fifty minute period in one building, it
should, a the same instant, announce the same time in every other
building. Such has not been the case this past week.
Complaint in regard to this matter comes not alone from the
student body, which is marked tardy or absent, but from members
of the faculty who must contend with the inconvenience.
Ferhaps the gongs will ring at one and the same time in all of
the buildings this coming school week.

Coach Stiehm said last night that
Nebraska faces the hardest proposi

years, but added that Nebraska ought
to win. Captain Rutherford is of the
opinion that the game will be the
hardest on this year's schedule. With

SING LAW'S SONG

commandement (if you don't know
what it is, ask the Laws.)
At first he counselors in the law
shnn" were sure that they had a good
cause of action, but upon later con
sideration it is feared that the ac
tion must be dismissed. Tt seems that
some of the culprits themselves were
Law students. They certainly cannot
be joined as parties defendant for
such a case would cause a feud in
the College of Law.
Such a state of affairs could not
be tolerated for a moment, for then
how could the Laws drown out the
Comics so completely at Convocation.
Verily, in union there is strength, and
upon calm, cool, afterthought the com
plainants decided to forego their "law-
ing," and instead prepare for the mid-
semesters, which have been depress
ing them for several days.

Mass Meeting of University Girls for
Saturday System Regulates
Activities
Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 11. Two days
before the championship battle with
Nebraska Saturday, Lawrence is filled
with more excitement and anticipation
than the old town has experienced
since the day the ever-victorious team
of 1908 left for Lincoln.
The old grads, who are flocking to
Lawrence daily, gather at the historic
meeting places and compare present
conditions with those of 1908. In many
respects the coming clash with the
Nebraskans resembles the game of
1908 which so upset existing dope that
it was considered the surprise of the
day in western circles. Nebraska
had won easily in the early season
games from such worthy foes as
Iowa, Ames who had been picked for
the championship and the Haskell In
diana. Tt followed shortly after a
string of Nebraska victories similar to
those during the last few years, and
the Cornhuskers were doped to win
easily. There was confidence here,
however, and alumni who were taking
a special interest In the game, instill
ed a fighting spirit In the team which
sent them to Lincoln to outplay the
Huskers to the tune of 20-5.
And 'so there is a feeling here at
Lawrence that the old days have come
again. Coach Chauncey "Beau" Ol
cott instituted a campaign right after
he had seen the Nebraskans in action
against Notre Dame which centerel
around the observation that "they're
human they can be beat." Grim and
battle-scarred veterans of forgotten
days came back to life and wrote red
hot letters to the newspapers, de
nouncing the spirit at K. TJ., character
izing it as half-hearted. Pep meetings
in which members of the faculty -pre
sided became a regular custom; and

The mass meeting will be followed
directly by a party in the Armory,
which will include original games,
"stunts" and refreshments. Scouts
wtll be sent every ten minutes from
the Armory to the Daily Star office
to get the returns of the Kansas- Ne
braska game.
A mass meeting of all University
girls will be held promptly at 2:30
o'clock Saturday, November 13, in the
Memorial hall, to discuss the point
system of evaluating extra-curriculum
college activities and to pas3 a definite
resolution upon it
Whether it is advisable to adopt
the point system at the University of
Nebraska Is a question that has been
Vending for three years. This system '
proved successful at Michingan, Tex
as, Minnesota, Wellesley and Vassar,
and some University authorities think
it is time that some definite action be
taken upon It at Nebraska.
The point system regulates a num
ber of college activities that a girl
may take part in. Each activity
counts a certain number of points.
Membership In a sorority, class team,
the Y. W. C. A. are included in the
list.
The purpose of the point system is
to distribute activities among more
students. Prominent University girls
who have made a careful investiga
tion of the system will give detailed
explanations of Its good and bad feat
ures. Girls who do not know about
the point system should come to the
meeting and learn what It is. Those
who do know, should help the Uni
versity by taking a definite stand
either for or against a question that
s so vital to them.
