OUR CHANCE
Tuesday afternoon The Daily Ne
braskan received the assurance of
Chancellor Avery that the matter of
not having classes on Friday follow
ing Thanksgiving would be, presented
to the University Senate at the meet
ing Saturday with the Chancellor's
approval.
This means that all that is needed
now is the affirmative vote of the
Senate on the matter and Nebraska
students and faculty members will
enjoy what is really a four-day holi
day Thanksgiving.
The plan which will be presented
by the Chancellor calls for the drop
ping of Friday following Thanksgiv
ing from the calendar and the ad
ding of the Wednesday which would
have been the last day of spring
vacation.
In this way there will be the same
number of days on which classes are
held as before and the students will
be given the Thanksgiving holiday
which they have requested.
The University runs on a definite
schedule with a certain number of
days each year. In order to keep
our standing with the other leading
Universities of the country it is
necessary, of course, to have a school
year of about the same length as the
rest of these institutions.
This same thing is seen at Indiana
University where the students are
asking that the day following
Thanksgiving be taken off the
schedule and that Christmas vacation
be shortened one day. Due to the
fact that our Christmas vacation
lasts for two entire weeks it would
be practically impossible to shorten
this vacation. Thus it falls to the
spring vacation. Instead of start
ing classes Thursday as the schedule
is now arranged, students would re
turn to their classes Wednesday
morning.
It becomes a question of wnethoi
the students would rather have
classes Friday following Thanksgiv
ing or Wednesday, April 6. Although
it is still up to the University Senate
we feel sure that that body will see
fit to change the schedule if they
are sure that that is what the stu
dents want. The most easily acces
sible means of the expression of
student opinion is through the
columns of this paper and we would
be glad to receive any comment on
the matter that the students care to
make.
SCHOOL AND TEAM
Fred T. Dawson, former Nebraska
grid mentor and now head football
coach at the University of Denver,
has started something new at the in
stitution in which he is now located
He has set aside every Friday after
noon as "Student Afternoon" when
he welcomes all students in the Uni
versity to come out and watch foot
ball practice and give some cheers
and songs at the same time.
Many universities in the past few
years have done something similar
to this in order that the team and
the student body come in closer con
tast with each other. At several
large institutions rallies have been
held on the afternoon before some
big game. It is Coach Dawson's plnn
however, to have this "Students
Afternoon" every week.
There are several advantages of
some plan Similar to this. The rallies
are held on the afternoon before the
game when the cheers and songs of
the rooters cannot fail to impress
the members of the team as they are
practicing.
Then too, in this day of secret and
closely-guarded football practice, the
students never see the team except
at the games. It is quite evident that
their interest cannot be as keen as
it was in the days when anyone could
watch practice. It would be folly to
advocate going back to the old open
practice days merely to interest the
students, but it does seem that open
ing the gates for a short time on
Friday afternoon would do no harm.
Something of the sort was attemp
ted last Thursday when two compan
ies of cadets, a portion of the band
and a few other students went over
and cheered a little outside the fence
outside the practice field. Although
those who were there cheered lustily,
the results were not all that could
be hoped for. If, however, it was
properly handled in cooperation with
the coach, such a rally should be effective.
There may be reasons why this
would not work at Nebraska but we
fail to see them at the present time.
It would be well for us to investigate
this seriously.

LOOK OUT MR. SPILLMAN
O. S. Spillman, attorney general
of the state of Nebraska has recently
ruled that a school girl at Grand
Island cannot be compelled to take
gymnastics or to wear bloomers while
doing so. The girl in question is the
daughter of a Grand Island minister
whom the school board had threat
ened to bar from school because she
refused to take gymnasium and to
wear bloomers.
We warn Mr. Spillman that he had
better watch out or he will be in hot
water at the University. Before long
some "Co-ed" will want to know why

she is any different from that Grand
Island girl and why she should have
to take gym and wear those terrible
old bloomers.
Then when the women are no long
er forced to take gymnasium some
freshman will put up a howl saying
that since both sexes are now sup
posed to be on a level and since the
girls no longer have to take gym
he doesn't see why he should have to
take drill.
And then the American legion will
rare up on its hind logs and then
the ministerial union will hump its
back and they will all be at it. So
look out Mr. Spillman, you may have
started something.
NOT YET
It is now two weeks since Mr. E.
Duncan, commissioner of streets
and public improvements, promised
for the second time that automatic
traffic signals would be installed at
the intersection of Twelfth and R
streets.
Mr. Duncan and the other city of
ficials are to be congratulated on
their actions on this matter. There
haven't been any bad accidents on
this corner, just a few small ones,
and look how much money the city
has saved. No, there haven't been
any bad accidents, not yet.

Modern Dairy Barn
Replaces Old One
The old dairy barn at the Agri
cultural College has been torn down
and replaced by a new, modern com
plete barn.
The old barn was built in 1900 and
has been considered a landmark of
the Agricultural College campus. It
was planned and constructed under
the personal direction of Prof. A.
Haecker, who was in chargp of th
Dairy Department at that time.
The old site is being rapidly clear
ed of the old timbers, and tha old
concrete floor will be used as a park'
ing place for automobiles.
Church Workers Will
Meet Thursday Noon
The federation of church workers
will hold a regular bi-weekly lunoh

day noon.
There are important matters to
be considered: first, the possible ad
vancement of All-University-church
day from November 21 to an
earlier date. The other is the com
ing visit of an interdenominational
team of experts in vocational guidance.
One of the 1926 students in the
University comes from Czecho Slo
vakia.
During the summer session of 1924
there were 290 registrants in the
Graduate College of the University
of Nebraska.
In 1925-26 there were 242 stu
dents registered for higher degrees
in the Graduate College of the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
It might b worth
