Dean Heppner Demands Closer
Observance of Closing Hoar
Due to the laxity of student or
ganizations in observinz the rule in
regard to closing dances. Miss
Amanda Heppner. dean of women,
wishes to warn both orcanizatior.s
and orchestras that music for dances
must stop at 11:30. When down
town musicians are employed, the
music is stopped promptly, since the
union requires that a double charge
shall be made for time over three

case of student players that com
plaint has been made. Instances have

November 18 is Date Set for
Entertainment for Fathers
cf Students
Dads' Day luncheon, with both the
Kansas Aggie and Nebraska football
squads present, will be at noon. Sat
urday. November IS. Governor Mc
Kelvie. Mayor Zehrung, Chancellor
Avery. Coach Dawson and Captain
"Chick" Hartley are listed among the
speakers. The toastmaster will be
Chauncey Nelson, president of the
Innocents.
The University quartet, and the
"Sertnadors" why entertain the
fathers and their sons with lively
music during the luncheon. The meal
will last, with the toasts, until 2
o'clock hen it will be time to ad
journ in a body to the football field.
Dads are expected to register at
the main entrance of the Armory
and receive recognition badges. Thi
Armory will be headquarters for
Dads' Day. Accommodation for rooms
can be arranged for when entering
the building. Tickets for the game
sray also be secured when the Dad
register.
This i Nebraska's first "Dad
Day", but It Is to be a strong tradi
tion If the committee in charge re
alizes its hopes. Free copies of this
iue of the Nebraskan containing
the preceding letter to "Dad" are be
ing distributed to all University men
today, with the injunction that tbe
letter be mailed home Immediately.
The committee believes that a point
greatly in favor of such a day ia the
excellent opportunity it proffers for
fathers to gain a better understand
ing of their son's college life. Similar
days are celebrated by other univer
sities, among them the University of
Kansas.
The official program of the day
ends, with the final whistle of the
football game, but many fraternities
are laying plans for the evening en
tertainment of their fathers. Original
plans contemplated a banquet at
o'clock, with fraternities giving noo'n
luncheons. It s"ed more probable
to the coLiuiittee, ho we-, .r, that
fathers would be better able to at
tend a noon gathering than one In
the evening. The military carnival
in tbe evening might have interfered
somewhat with the success of a
banquet, too, so plans were shifted
and ths evening left open.

Heppner warns organizations that
they will be reported to the faculty

and that orchestras will be reported
to the union officials.
