Volunteer mine workers from the
University of Nebraska and through
out the state may be called upon for
service within the next two or three
days, according to dispatches received
Wednesday by Governor McKelvie
from governors of surrounding sUtes.
Governors of Wyoming, Iowa. Kansas,
nave not as yet accepted the offer
or service but wire they are Investi
gating the prospects for using and car
ing for volunteers and expect to leach
definite decision within a very short
tune.
Governor McKelvie announced Wed
nesday that be offered the services of
the men only In mines from which Ne
braska might obtain a part of the fuel
supply. For this reason. It Is probable
that the volunteers, If sent, will go
to the mines of either Iowa, Kansas
or Wyoming.
News dispatches from Chicago
Wednesday night stated that the gov
ernor of Nebraska had offered tho ser
vices of men In his state to work In ihe
mines of nearby states and the dis
patching of the federal troops Into the
coal fields of Missouri was regarded
by some as a forerunner of an at
tempted state operation of those
mines. In the operation of the shaft
mines, the governors Informed Gov
ernor McKelvie that the men might be
used In loading the coal after it had
been mined and In the other surface
work. Governor Carey of Wyoming
wired that there was plenty of coal
mined but that the railroad men had
refused to move it. It may be possible
that numbers of the volunteers will
be used in helping In some manner the
movement of the coal already mined.
State Committee Appointed
A state committee to handle the leg
islation and organization of volunteer
workers in the state was appointed
by Governor McKelvie Wednesday
noon. It consists of Col. H. J. Paul, ad

More Students Sifln
University students continued to
register heavily all day Wednesday
and many of the students were known
to be waiting for more definite infor
mation as to the place where the
work would be carried on and the
financing of the work. Members of
Silver Lynx fraternity volunteered as
a bodv. Rirma chi fraternity offered
the services of the entire chapter to

ASSOCIATION OF LAW
SCHOOLS TO. CONSIDER
HAVING NIGHT CLASSES
In various colleges of the country
the possibility of opening night law
classes has been discussed. The fol
lowing statement has been prepared
by Dean H. S. Richards, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Law School:
"The Association of American Law
Schools is a national organization,
and, as stated in Its articles, its object
Is 'the Improvement of legal educa
tion In America, especially In the law
schools. To this end it has adopted
certain educational requirements of
schools seeking membership calculat
ed to Insure conditions permitting the
best possible law instruction.
"In 1912 the association passed a re
solution announcing that hereafter
the association would refuse admission
to membership to any school main
taining courses at night parallel to
those offered In the day school, since
such a practice tended inevitably to
the lowering of educational standards.
In 1916 the association referred to the
executive committee the duty of for
mulating a rule governing the amount
of credit. If any, to be allowed night
courses toward the degree in law. The
committee has prepared a rule provid
lng that night school instruction can
be given a value of that of three-
fourths of any day school Instruction,
but in no event shall more than 20
hours of night Instruction count to
ward a degree in law.
"The proposed rule has been sent to
the members and will be considered
at the next meeting of the association
in December. It will be observed that
the proposed rule does not forbid
maintenance of night Bchools by its
members. In consequence, unless it
be true that men will not study law in
night schools If a degree be not grant
ed. It does propose to make it pobsi-
ble for members to confer the law
degree on night work alone. The wis
dom and propriety of this rule will be
determined by the votes of a majority
of ttfe schools In the association at
the coming meeting.
"There are at resent three schools
In the association maintaining night
courses, and their representatives will
have ample opportunity to present
their objections to the proposed rule
If the rule is adopted, members must
thereafter limit the credit given for
night courses In accordance with the
rule, or withdraw from membership.
Since the proposed rule has been an-
nmmM certain newspapers have
contained statements charging In ef
feet that an attack is being made on
the Marquette University College of
Tjiw. Milwaukee, by the University of
Wisconsin Law School through the
proposed regulation with a view to its
destruction or serious Injury. It Is al
no asserted that University of Wiscon
sin Law School Is actuated by most
imworthv motives.
"In ludeine the situation. It should
be borne In mind that the proposal
in auestlon is pending before a na
tlonal organization composed ot tne
principal law schools in the United
SUtes: that the proposed rule was
not nrooosed or presented by the Uni
versity of Wisconsin Law school, that
the university school has not the pow
er, even If It has the disposition to
enact the rule, that the assoclalton
will not determine its action by the
effect. Injurious or otherwise, that the
rule will have on a particular school.
but whether the purposes of the asso
ciation, the improvement of legal edu
cation, will be advanced by Its adop
tion.
"It is true that two members of the
Wisconsin Law school faculty are
members of the association's execu
tive committee, but they have not pro
posed the rule and do not constitute

CORNHUSKER
BANQUET IS
POSTPONED
Annual Event is Ruled Out Under
Measures to Conserve
Coal
Other Social Events are Cancelled
or Postponed by Direction
of Regents
The Cornhusker banquet, annual
feast of rejoicing for the success of
a football season, has been postponed
by university authorities as one ot
the steps - in fuel conservation. No
date in the future can be set by the
committee or the university officials
because there is no way of knowing
when the shortage will be remedied.
It is evident that hope still exists
that the banquet can be held at a lat
er date, probably after the holidays
and until this is known to be impos
sible the plans wll not be given up
entirely. The girls' Cornhusker ban
quet for the same night has already
been postponed.
Mayor Miller, who is also a regent
of the university, gave notice to the
students through Miss Amanda Hepp
ner, dean of women, that all social
events must be cancelled or post
poned. This includes dances at chap
ter houses of fraternities and clubs
and at the Lincoln hotel or other city
halls. Evening meetings of all organ
izations are affected and no hall or
room on the university campus is
open for use after dark. University
organizations are. all included under
this ruling whether their meetings are
on the campus or off the campus, it is
claimed.

The Ktnte farm campus will be out

and fuel conservation board members
telegraphed the regional fuel adminis

noon, asking for more fuel but It ap
pear to be a last attempt without
much promise of success.
Out Two Days Early
The University in any event will
close not later than Friday, Decem
ber 19, according to Dean Engberg
late Wednesday night, but unless more
coal arrives or the weather moderates
very much, fuel shortage will force
it to close probably & week earlier
than that. The city fuel administra
tion, according to Mayor Mifter, has
told the unlersity authorities that
they can continue as long as the
supply of coal lasts but that they can
not furnish them any additional coal
from this vicinity.
According to late reports received
in Lincoln Wednesday, cities through
out the middle west are adopting
drastic methods of saving fuel and
are facing conditions that promise to
become actual suffering within a very
short time. The Lincoln schools in
cluding the high school have been
