Clad of Opportunity.
Mr. Doane staled that he was i
nol at all sure about the mtcccsa
of the project but he was glad of
sn opportunity to try it. Accord
ing to Mr. Poane. "it Is being done
fu many of the larger universities
but generally for recreational read
ing alone,
Under 'the Nebraska plan, the j
library will be used for both study
ing and recreation. The librarian
btated that as long as the library
was being opened he thought it
r.iight as well be used for both
types of reading. The Ncbrarka
library would be impractical for
. recreational reading alone because
there are not enough books of that
tjpe in the reading room.
Practice Is Common
'Librarians In schools where the '
Sunday library system is in vogue)
are unanimously agreed their deci- t
i ion that the expense of such a sys-
tern la Justified." declared Mr.
Doane. Among these are Michi
gan. IUi-Jois. California and Har
vard ..Diversities."
Vale, another of America's lead
ing universities, does not have the
system at present because of im
proper library facilities. Mr.
Doane said a new library wa.s be
ing built there, however, and as
soon as completed the Sunday li
brary plan would probably be
adopted. r
Six on Duty.
Main reading room, reference
room, stacks, reserved reading
room, periodical reading room, and
Social Sciences reserved reading
room will now be open Sunday
afternoons. Six people will be on
duty with one of the number
placed in charge.
The same employes will be used
on Sunday as during the week, due
to the fact that expert help is
needed. Volunteers from the li
brary force have been divided into
shifts so that each person will
work one Sunday out of four.
New rules concerning the use of
books have been brought in by the
new system. These will apply to
Sunday only. Books may only be
used within the building and none
will be charged for home use. No
books are to be taken from de
partmental libraries or storage
rooms.

Car-less Cakes Bewail Advent of
Spring; Season Brings New Crop in
Pins, Love Affairs, Down Hours
BY THE RAG MAN.
In the spring a young niau'a
fancy terribly fancy. Spring,
which began officially on Friday,
March 21. brings with it a new
crop of love affairs, campus grass,
fraternity and sorority pins.
It has been suggested by some
sage that, "You can't keep a good
man down." Some professors seem
to have remarkable success In
keeping both good men and wo
men down in hours Long enough,
at any rate, to eliminate any possi
bility of initiation into one of tho
horde of Greek-letter lodges.
Ruts are Deeper.
Nebraska's campus beautiful,
Vom the atretch of futuristic pav
ing in front of chemistry ball to
the drill field haven of nature, will
take on a new aspect with tbe ap
proach of springtime. The foot
print and ruts will be deeper,
since frost has departed from the
ground.
Warm T.eather brings great en
couragement to drivers of automo
biles. The sport model owner Is
scarcely able to suppress his
"tpring is here, tra la. tra la."
Those who are still bitch biking
in to college will sing. "Epring is
here, trolley, trolley." Both, it
seems, agree on one point.
Picnic Season Opens.
Students who have fe!t arbi
trarily forced to go on picnics dur
ing Sunday afternoons will appre
ciate tbe fact that the library will
be open this afternoon. This will
eliminate the needless expenditure
for food and transportation into
Ui wildwood. Some, however, may

Spring parties, too, deserve com

tbe spring party season with a

crashed is non-essential, so long as
the attendance average Is kept up.
Waxes Poetic.
Winsome coed, who have been
unable to make selection from tne
field of ardent awains during win
ter months, find it quite simple to
fall in love now that cpring has
opened. Since The Nebraskan has
taken over poetry quite friousiy,
the Rag Man offers "The Rejected
Lover's Wail":
You left me with an awful Jar
To pick a fellah with a car.
I'll bid my college love goodbye
And pick some pleasant place to
die.
But love's a game and what it
more
You didn't even know the score.
I ll find another better girl
And swim again the social whirl,
But be a decent, careful gal
And don't insist that I'm a pal.
Knickers Appear.
Even the Rag Man's poetry is
suffering from tbe relentless on
slaught of spring. Soon he will
don his heavy overcoat, put on bis
gloves, earmuffa and fur cap and
go out to breathe the balmy air.

BIG SIX PASSES NEW
E
Two. Years Competition in
Junior College Is to
Count as One.
Faculty representatives of Big
Six schools, in session this week
end at Lawrence, Kansas, voted to
alter completely the intercollegi
ate standing of the athlete who
has competed in junior college
athletics. Formerly a year of
junior college competition counted
as a year of Big Six competition.
Under the new rule, one year in a
junior college will nt be counted
and two years in a junior college
will count as one in the Big Six.
Tbe new rule is not retroactive,
and will go into effect in the fall.
Passage of the motion followed a
recommendation made to the fa
culty committee by Hie directors
of a'tbk-tics in the various schools.
The basis for the change wa.s the
theory that junior college work is
usuiiTiy preparatory to entrance
into a university, and that athletic
coiap'-iilion there should not be
counted as on a par with competi
tion in the Big Six.
Tbe material being gathered on
tbe questionnaire for athletes in
the conference was discussed, but
no definite action was taken.

was set forth by Professor Void in
his address. These were mentioned
as furnishing perspective for cor
responding active modern contro
versies over trespass to property.
Conflict of Interest.
"Today, as then, there is an
everpresent active conflict of inter
est between the settled cultivators
of the soil and their adjoining
stock raising neighbors whose live
stock may trespass and do damage
in tbe cultivated field.?," said Pro
fessor Void.
"Instances are still common
where excessive violence is used in
repelling such invasions, leading to
criminal prosecutions. It is well
recognized now, however, that as a
general rule the owner of domestic
animals is bound to keep bis ani
mals in. to prevent their trespass
ing on his neighbors, and that the
occupier may use reasonable force
in expelling tiespassing cattle.
"Killing of domestic animals of
another to prevent their trespass
ing on bis land is ordinarily not
allowed. The same perspective ap
plies to tbe variant facts presented
by the modern restlessness and im
patience over the annoyance of
trespassing dogs. While it is usu
ally said in dog cases that killing
a dog to get rid of his trespassing
is unreasonably severe, it is now
recognized that the relative value
of property to be saved thereby
may on occasion furnish sufficient
justification."

SITUATION ISREVIEWED
Committee Seeks Abolition
Of All-Day Pep Session
Preceding Games.
BY POLITICUS.
Another step toward the solu
tion of the problem of how future
rallies are to be managed came
Saturday morning when the joint
committee of tudents and faculty
members met In room 102. Social
Sciences, and conceived the possi
bility of placing the responsibility
in the hands of a separate and dis
tinct committee.
Comprising this new rally board
or committe. as brought out in
the course of the Saturday session,
would be one member elected from
and by each of the following cam
pus titins: Student council, depart
ment of infrcoliegiais aioicuis.
Innocents society. Corn Cobs, and
Tassels. Tbe advisability of hav
ing a faculty member on the com
mittee was considered.
Situation Reviewed.
This was merely a suggestion on
the part of the group that had
been selected to seek some means
of placing pre-football game ral
lies under proper supervision. The
same joint committee will recon
vene next Saturday morning at II
o'clock to pass on a final recom
mendation to be submitted to the
university senate.
Discussion at the meeting Sat
urday began with a complete re
sume" of the rally situation, recall
ing in particular incidents that
took place during the 1929 foot
ball season. The question: What
is school spirit? was raised In an
attempt to discover the necessity
of having outbursts of student en
thusiasm prior to athletic contests.
Bible Comments.
Coach Dana X. Bible, on? of the
members of the faculty committee,
wasbf the opinion that rallies Were
of inestimable value to the team
on the eve of an approaching grid
iron contest. A member of iaU
year's football team. Robert Young
who wa3 also on the Joint commit
tee, substantiated the coach's be
lief in regard to elevating the mor
ale of the squad.
Tbe biggest problem to solve. a
the committee saw it. vva3 to do
something whereby all day no
class rallies could be eliminated.
It was regarded ns somewhat fea
sibleb y the majority of commit
tee members to arrange for the
