"Do you favor the present re quirement of twenty-scven hours credit at the university for partici pation in activities?" This was the question put to ten students promi nent in activities, yesterday. The answers show a difference of opin ion, but a large majority regard the rule as unfair to the students concerned or detrimental to the in terests of the university. The four women interviewed are divided in their opinion of the present rule. Of six men ques tioned two favor the rule as it now stands. Four are in favor of a i Change Ruling. The rule requires that students entering the university either as freshmen or as upperclassmen from other schools must acquire twentv-seven hours credit in the university one years worn, De- fore they are eligible for participa tion in athletics or other type of activities, including staff positions on publications Edmonds Comments. "I see no reason why a sopho more coming from some other school should be denied the privi lege of entering activities," said Edwin Edmonds, business manager of the Cornhusker, Innocent, and member of the Kosmet Klub. "Three year men, those who come here after only one year at some other school, are cut out of activi ties all through the university by the rule. They come as sopho mores, cannot enter activities until they are juniors, and by that time it is too late to get started."
