12:15 O'CLOCK!
An ugly war between the sorority and dormitory
women of the University of Nebraska has appeared
jjpon the horizon. An official notice from the office
of the Dean of Women announces a rather old and
well-known set of University regulations, but tucked
away among them lies a little bone? of contention
one rule which assumes gigantic proportions when
passed from mouth to mouth among our co-eds, and
finally ends in one great groan.
The dormitory women, who live on me umv--sity
campus, are the victors. In the past, their time
limit on week-end evenings has been 12 o'clock, and
now since they have gained fifteen whole minutes of
grace along about midnight on Friday and Saturdays,
they are bubbling over with excitement.
Consider the changes which have beea made, since
the announcement of the new set of rules by Dean
Heppner, as sanctioned by the Committee on Student
Organizations. Although University women must be
in their quarters fifteen minutes earlier, they may en
tertain their male escorts fifteen minutes later in the
sorority and rooming house parlors. The previous rule
required men to leave the women's houses at 12 o'clock,
so this fifteen minutes of grace balances the debits of
the other column. There are abo several other changes
which favor the women, if the rules will be studied
carefully.
"Why, oh, why was the change made?" wail the
popular sorority and rooming house co-eds. "And who
did it?"
The change was made for a very obvious reason.
One hundred and sixty women who liver in dormitories
on the University campus have been obliged to abide
by a rule governing all University buildings namely,
that the structures be locked up by midnight Ever
since this rule has been in effect there has been a
general feeling that the dormitory women were not
being treated fairly.
There are approximately 2,400 women in the Uni
versity, and all but this 160 has 12:30 privileges. It was
obvious that there should be some uniformity as to
the hour when the women's homes should close, whe
ther sororities, rooming houses, or dormitories.
The Women's Self Government Association saw this
fallacy three years ago and suggested the plan which
has just been adopted. Dudmg the same year, the W.
S. G. A. disbanded, having already recommended the
adoption of these new rules to the Committee on Stu
dent Organizations.
So in reality, a group of University women made
the present 12:15 rule, which is merely reiterated by
the Dean of Women, and passed by the proper author
ity, the Committee on Student Organizations.
a
Whether the yew rule will prove satisfactory is a
matter of opinion. Many students think not, while
others favor it strongly. It does seem logical that all
women in the University should be required to come
home from "dates' at the same time. If the 2,240
women who live off the University campus are unable
to get 12:30 rules for the 160 on the campus, then
the mountain has been moved.
Like .ny new regulation, the University women
will gradually get accustomed to the new order of
' things. Perhaps they will learn to eat faster, saving
mteen minutes every nday and Srturday evening by
spirited ordering and less chewing of the orders. They
may plan their menus while walking or ridine betwoon
the dance and the cafe. Or perhaps telephone ordering
m aavance win come into vogue.
It is safe to wager that University students will
make the best of the rule, and abide by it, as they
should.
And who knows? Perhaps in another year they will
of "Home Sweet Home" and the well-known locking of
the house door can be shortened to thirty minutes. ,
A CHEERING SECTION
Like the 12:15 rule, another innovation is presen
ted to the student body this morning. Its success, how
ever, depends upon the cooperation of the men stu
dents, rather than the women.
The plan is a cheering section in Nebraska Me
morial Stadium. One and one-half sections in the east
side of the Stadium are being reserved for men, who
will buy, in addition to their student tickets, a red
and white cap. When this section is imea at a game,
the appearance to visitors and Lincoln residents will
be either a solid red or white background, according to
which side of the reversible cap is turned out.
If this section in the Stadium rpUs out completely
today, the success of the idea is assured. Members of
the Athletic deaprtment will draw up blue print plans
of figures to be worked out with colored cardboards at
the different gridiron contests.
This idea was brought back from the trip to Seat
tle last fall, where attractive designs were made by a
group of student rooters. Upon investigation, it was
found that similar plans were used in several of the
universities in that region, with exceptional success.
This kind of plan will be just as successful here
if both the non-fraternity and fraternity men will sup
port it There are two requirements: healthy lungs
and an extra seventy-five cents to pay the cost of the
rooter caps f. o. b. California. The Athletic T ".'tment
is paying the freight charges.
Although only a limited number of ' 'j. sec
tion tickets have been pul on sale, to carry out this
plan successfully, every ticket in this section must be
sold by this evening.
In a recent radio address from the University
broadcasting station, Acting Chancellor E. A. Burnett
k disclosed several interesting items to radio listeners
which should prove just as important, if not a little
more so, to students of this University.
The Memorial Mall, to be a part of the northeast
section of the campus, will be laid out this year, he
explained. Dwellings near Thirteenth and U streets
will be removed, and the Mall will be laid out from the
Stadium east to Fourteenth street
A new building, the erection of which is still
problematical, will be built to house the College of
Dentistry, the department of modern languages, and
the department of English.

To the Editor:
Two inmates of an insane asylum were looking at
the asylum clock. Inmate Number One was worried.
"Do you think the thing is right?" he inquired. The
other one answered: "Right? Of course not If it was,
it wouldn't be here."
Certainly the University of Nebraska is far re
moved from the same category as the institution men
tioned, but from recent and disturbing observation of
the campus clocks, it is concluded that they do belong
in the same class. The situation was brought up when
a puzzled student demanded why he was ten minutes
late to classes, when he had relied faithfully on the
prominent clock in the window of the book store on
the campus. Investigation proved that this clock is
regulated hourly, and therefore dependable. However,
this time piece evidently is not in accord with the
clocks used in many university buildings, the majority
of which are of varying times.
It is probably safe to say that a big majority of
students depend on the regulated clock mentioned, and
as the regular University time pieces run five and seven
minutes, someti-nes ten minutes, ahead of this instru
ment, it is no wonder that students are often seriously
discommoded in their daily pursuits.
Janitors have admitted attempts to keep the clocks
accurate, but their methods are so varied that it is an
impossibility for all the clocks to show the same time.
Some of the men in charge call for correct time from
Western Union every morning; others admit setting
their time pieces by the stadium clock; others testify
that the instruments run miserably, and require con
stant effort to keep them running at alL So it is no
wonder that classes are lengthened or shortened in ' EEJ-EClPPliglPtpffm
company with the skip-stop and go system of time used. M
MoreoveT, the inconvenience, the shortening or! I
lengthening of class hours, the difficulties involved in!j
geiv.r.g aDout me campus between classes due to the! (3
variety of time used by the student body, is undigni
fied and out of place in a university of Nebraska's
size and prestige.
If the clocks are unreliable and poorly construc
ted, they should be replaced, or a regulated system
of time installed so that all classes may be convened
and dismissed at the same time, and do away with the
nerve-racking game of trying to get satisfaction from

completion, is to be dedicated.
Fielding Yost, ftead football men

that Nebraska in Missouri Valley

rival is Missouri, who has a percent
