committeemen.
Students on the campus owe $5305

ley school this semester, according to
Miss Erma Appleby, secretary of the
University Y. W. C. A. A number

port at Ellen Smith hall.

WOMEN TO VOTE
ON POINTSYSTEM
Dean Heppner Approves the
Scheme as Outlined by
Mortarboard.
PLAN PRESENTED TO
ORGANIZATION HEADS
The point system for University
women as outlined by the Mortar
board organization was presented at
a meeting of presidents of all girls
organizations Thursday night at El
len Smith hall. The plan is to be
presented to the various organiza
tions for suggestions and approval to
be followed by the vote of the stu
dent body at semester elections.
Dean Amanda Heppner expressed her
approval of the plan which limits the
activities in which a girl may take
part.
"I think that the scheme as it is
worked out is an excellent one," said
Dean Heppner, "but of course the de
tails will have to be worked out and
at the end of the semester it may
appear that nothing has been accom
plished. Next year the benefits will
appear.
Activities Not Fundamental.
"College activities are not the fun
damental things. By limiting the
number in which a girl may take part
she is protected from the constant
entreaty for aid in the various work
that appears.
"It is true that through the tasks
assigned a girl she develops ability
and her human side. A girl will be
more successful out in the world be
cause she knows how to work with
people after having taken active part
in a reasonable amount of college ac
tivity. She can better apply her
knowledge because she knows how
to handle men and women.
"The point system will surely draw
into university life more "University
students and will raise the burden
from the few."
ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT
FOR SENIOR PICTURES
Nearly 300 Fourth-year Stu
dents Yet to Be Photo
graphed for Annual.
Only two more days are left for
seniors to have their pictures taken
for the 1924 Cornhusker. There are
almost 300 who have not yet had this
done.
No senior will be allowed to have
his picture taken after the time has
elapsed. Several juniors came late
to have their pictures taken and
were refused.
"We are sorry to do this, but in
order to have the panels properly
made up and engraved it is absolutely
necessary that the pictures be taken
at once," Robert F. Craig, editor-in-chief,
stated yesterday.
Some seniors are forgetting to
make definite appointments at the
Cornhusker office when their names
appear in the Nebraskan. They
should get in touch with the office
either personally or by telephone.
The following are to appear at
day:
Dole's studio, 1125 O street, Satur
Harry Pecha, Lois Pegler, Grace
Pegler, Willard Penry, Carl Peterson,
Charles Phillips, Caroll Pickering,
Dorsey Pickett, Glen Pierce, Albert

be awarded to a college woman, and
is to be devoted to graduate study
in any accredited institution. Appli

woman graduate of twenty-five in
stitutions among which Nebraska is
numbered. The applicant shall have

UN NIGHT TICKET
SALE DATE FIXED
Will Begin Sale of Stunt Night
Tickets on Thursday,
February 14.
SKITS SHOULD BE
HANDED IN TODAY
Tickets for University Night will
go on sale at noon on Thursday,
February 14, at the Temple. The
price will probably be 50 cents. In
past years the tickets have been sold
in a few hours and it is expected that
the demand will be as great this year.
The city auditorium, which has a
seating capacity of over 4000, has
been secured for the performance.
Both the Temple and the Orpheum
were used last year and a large num
ber of students were turned away.
The auditorium has a greater seating
capacity than either of these places
and the committee hopes to be able
to accommodate all who wish to at
tend. No skits for the perrorniance will
be accepted after today, according
to members of the committee in
charge. It is necessary for the com
mittee to have them early as it takes
considerable time to read all the skits
and select the best ones. The com
mittee hopes to have them all re
turned so that the organizations may
begin rehersals by February 12.
University Night has become a tra
dition in the University and ranks
with Ivy Day as a big event of the
year.

EXTEND TIME FOR
GROUP PICTURES
Because of the inability to accom
modate all the groups that wished
their, pictures taken, the time for
group and organization pictures, has
been extended one week. Reserva
tions for space in the Cornhusker
must be made this week through the
business manager in trie office in the
basement of University hall.
The manging editor wishes to call
attention to the fact that it is abso
lutely necessary for groups to make
appointments at the Cornhusker
office.
"Groups must make it a point to
be on time at the campus studio and
those members that are late will pro
bably miss the picture as they are to
be taken exactly at the time set."
stated Wendell Berge, managing edi
tor. The writeups for the various organ
izations should be handed in today
at the Cornhusker office. If some
organizations find it impossible to
get them in today they should get in
touch wth the managing editor rr
the college editor and make arrange
ments for this to be done.
