HUSKERS' HOPES HEIGHTEN WITH ELKINS' RETURN Weather Man Furnishes Ideal Conditions for Bearg's Gridiron Warriors COACH OMITS SCRIMMAGE Oakes Sends Linemen Through Stiff Workout; Quintet Of Punters Out The Nebraska weather man gave Coach Ernest Bearg soma Ideal foot ball weather Monday evening and the result was the first real workout for the Nebraska pigskin luggers since practice started last Thursday. A two hour workout which included a little bit of everything was Bearg's program for the evening. The blocking body was brought out on the field and the backfield men took a thirty minute workout on the dummies, limbering up and toughening up their shoulders. This was the first real tackling exercises Bearg's proteges have received this falL Oakes Drill Linemen Coach Oakes took his linemen through the afternoon workin- on the charging sled and getting soaie fund amenta! signal plays. No scrimmage was held, but Bearg drilled his Corn huskers on signal plays. "Chief" Elkins donned the mole skins last night for the first time this fall and was limbering op his educated toe. Elkins will be a big cog in Bearg's machine this fall on the punting and passing end of the game. His punts for the first night out were averaging 50 to 60 yards with the wind. After a few weeks practice Elkins should be one of the best booters in the Missouri Valley. Blue Howell and Claire Sloan were keeping up with Elkins and were booting the pigskin down the field for 45 and 50 yards to each pant. Witte and Bronson are included in thei quintet of punters. Sloan And Ellon f In case Elkins decides to stay out of football for this V. Claire Sloan looks like the best bj Bearg has for a consistent puutjr. Sloan and Elkins were the two backfield men who helped beat the Jiansas Ag gie freshmen last year. Captain "Jug" Brown is taking it easy for the opening workouts on account of the injured knee he re ceived last falL Coach Bearg thinks that the injured member will not bo ther the Husker captain after a few weeks of practice but nevertheless no chances are being taken to cause an injury in the early stages of the practice season. "Jug" was calling signals in the signal drill with Pres nell at full, and Howell and Sloan at the halves.

Graduates From Bizad College in Prominent Business Positions Graduates of the Bizad school of the University of Nebraska are be coming more and more prominent in the business world as each succeeding class sends forth men and women to engage in commercial occupations. This is shown in the latest issue of the annual news letter to the gradu ates of the college of business ad ministration. Especially noticeable is the fact that men who were prominent in era-curricular activities are more likely to be successful in business than are the students who took no part in campus activities during their college cf-reers. Bedell Prominent One of the best known graduates of the Bizad school who is now prom inent locally in business circles is Dwight F. Bedell, '22, who is now assistant to the secretary of the Lin coln chamber of commerce. Mr. Bedell held other responsible posi tions before becoming associated with the chamber of commerce. For some time he was secretary of the Cherryvalle, Kan., chamber of com merce, which position he resigned to become secretary and treasurer of the national organization of Alpha Kappa Psi, an honorary fraternity of the college of business administration students. Other Bizad graduates rising to the front in the business world are Perry Branch, president of the Wholesalers' retail credit association; Richard Koupal, secretary-treasurer of the same organization, and Secretary Buckley of the local Rotary club.

For the past few years these nights have been 12:30 nights for women living in sororities and in off -campus buildings while those women living in tne campus dormorities were forced to abide by the rule govern ing university buildings which pro vides that all such must be closed at 12 o'clock on week-end evenings. The rule comes as a compromise be teen the interests of the dormitory women and the other university co eds. .There is a municipal regulation gov erning city parties which makes it necessary that all social ' functions close at 11:30 o'clock. University groups have been subject to this rule. At ' the time when a laree lumber of th sororities were located considerable distances from the cam pus it was necessary to allow the full hour's time after the closing of dances for co-eds to return to their respective houses. Thus an attempt has been made to make the week-end hours uniform for dormitories and off-campus women. Matter Pending The matter of changing the hour has been pending for some time. Three years ago the Women's Self- Governing association redrafting the rules governing university women asked for permission to change this hour. The matter was brought be fore the university committee ia charga of campus buildings, their permission granted, to the faculty committee on student organizations where it met with favorable comment fcnd was returned to the board but definite action was not taken at the time. ' Under the new group of rules men callrrs may remain until 12:15 o'clock on Friday and Saturday eve nings, in the soronty or rooming houses. Membership of house pres idents on the Associated Women's Student Council is dissolved and the rule stating that there shall be no eating down town after 10:30 on mid-week nights and after 12 o'clock on social nights is abolished. Other rules remain unchanged. Purpose of New Rule "The purpose of the new 12:15 o'clock rule," Dean Heppner de clared late Monday afternoon, when interviewed by a Nebraskan reporter, is not restrictive but protective." "We are not trying1 to be unrea sonable, the request comes from the women students themselves" h continued, the old rule the university women have complained hit one group and not another; this way the situation is compromised; there is no discrimination but one set of rules for all classes." The rules eo in effect at nn There has been some talk amour campus leaders of petitioning the Committee on Student Organizations for special permission to make such evenings as that of the Military ball, Fan-Hellenic formal ball ooen later. however, no definite action has yet been taken and tLe matter will probj ably be left to rest until a later date.
