Students Fortunate to Be
Allowed to Park on
Campus, He States.
SAYS IDEA IMPRACTICAL
Students at Nebraska are lucky
to have the privilege of parking
on the campus without demanding
restrictions to improve conditions,
according to L. F. Seaton, operat
ing superintendent, in an interview
yesterday.
At Cornell, Boulder and numer
ous schools both in the east and in
the west students are not allowed
to have automobiles on the campus
at all. And this rule came very
near being made at Nebraska, he
said.
Criticizes Plan.
In criticism of the plan for im
proving the situation here sug
gested in a Nebraskan editorial,
he said that the cost of enforce
ment would be the biggest objec
tion. The plan of restricting cer
tain areas on the streets around
the campus to those with parking
permits to be granted by univer
sity authorities would require 8t
least one additional patrolman and
perhaps two. depending on the

Group Votes Unanimously
To Recommend Plan
To Seaton.
ELIGIBILITY DISCUSSED
At its Wednesday night meeting
the Student council moved unani
mously to recommend The Daily
Nebraskan parking plan to Oper
ating Superintendent L. F. Seaton.
Following is the plan presented
by Bill McCleery, editor of the Ne
braskan and accepted by the Stu
dent council:
1. Grant stickers to student
drivers who live outside a conveni
ent walking radius of the campus.
2. Prohibit unstickered cars
from parking in certain spaces
near the campus.
Would Appoint Committee.
It was suggested that the coun
cil select a committee which would
have charge of granting these
stickers in order to see that park
ing permission would be fairly dis
tributed, and it was added that
stickers would h given which
would correspond with the car
numbers in order to prevent their
interchange between students.
Council opinion was concerted
on the fact that some change was
necessary and they believed the
plan which they recommend the
most practicable.
A report on eligibility for activi
ties was given by Bill McCaffin,
chairman of the committee in
charge of that work. The com
mittee recommended that students
from other schools be given the
chance to participate in activities
before spending a year enrolled in
the school.
Motion Passed.
A unanimous motion was passed
to the effect that any student with
twenty-seven hours of university
credit, whether earned here or at
another school, be permitted to
participate in activities. This mo
tion will be recommended to the
university senate and the constitu
tion committee of the council was
advised to include a provision for
Student council control of all stu
dent eligibility rules.
Edwin Faulknei, chairman of
the committee on constitution, re
ported that at present the com
mittee was corresponding with
other schools and feeling out stu
dent and faculty sentiment on the
scope of the council's power. This
is being done preparatory to draw
ing up a tentative constitution
which will be submitted first for
council revision and approval and
then to the students and university
authorities.
Call Special Meeting.
A special Student council meet
ing was set for next Wednesday
night for the sole consideration of
the new constitution. Certain fea
tures of the old code of laws will
be included in the new set of stan
dards but other provisions are to
be added with the intention of giv
ing the council more freedom of
action.
The question of national affilia
tion was brought up in conjunc
tion with the report of Marvin
Von Megger n, chaiimun of the
council finance committee. After a
discussion of the cost of becoming
active in a national or regional
federation of student councils as
related to the value received it
was moved and passed that na
tional affiliation questions be
dropped.

ROOM FOR 500 ON TRAIN
Latest figu.es from the office of
John K. Selleck, manager of stu
dent activities, show that over
1,300 tickets for the Kansas-Ne-biaska
game were sold in Lincoln
by Wednesday afternoon.
The original block of 1.000 tick
ets were sold out last Monday, and
the additional 500, for which Mr.
Selleck telephoned to Lawrence
Monday night, are going fast.
There is a strong expectation that
the entire lot will be gone by Fri
day, but tickets can probably be
bought at the box office at Law
rence, for the regular price of
$3.00.
Outsiders Barred.
About 000 fans will go to Kan
sas by the special student train
which will leave Lincoln Saturday
morning. Because of intrusion of
outsiders in former years, the train
this year is under the direct super
vision of university authorities.
Outsideis must first receive per
mission from the university in or
der to ride on thu train. Since
many of the ticket., have been pur
chased by residents of Lincoln, it
is difficult to estimate the number
of students that will go.
Tickets for the special train can
be purchased at Mr. Selleck's of
fice only. They wilt absolutely
not be sold at the depit or on tbe
train. Sale of these tickets began
this morning. So far about twenty-three
have bf-en sold, but the
number is not limited and addi
tional CP rs will be added if neces
sary. Besides this number, there
will also be about sixty-five band
members, fifty-four Corn Ccbs,
fifty Tassels and the three win
ning fraternities and sororities of
the Rudge & Gunzel contest.
Sexes Separated.
Alan Williams, as a represent
ative of the Innocents society, and
one varsity cheer leader will also
make the trip on the special.
Men and women will occupy
separate coaches on the return
trip.
The train leaves Lincoln at 5:30
Saturday morning and will arrive
in Lawrence about 11:30. It will
begin its return trip late Satur
day night, arriving back in Lin
coln early Sunday morning.
Dr. Van Royen Will

Dr. Villem Van Royen. instructor
in the department of geography,

young married folks' club of the

Chancellor Emeritus Avery Tells
Of European Trip; Italy Is Most '
Militaristic Country Encountered
"At least I got home in time to
vote," Chancellor Emeritus Avery
former chancellor of the university
and professor of research in chem
istry, said Wednesday in an inter
view on his trip thru New Eng
land and Europe. Chancellor and
Mrs. Avery left Lincoln May 27,
motoring through New England to
Montreal where they mailed for
Europe Friday the thirteenth.
"I guess that shows we were
not superstitious," he remarked
alter explaining how nicely their
trip turned out, in spite of the
date they started. We landed in
Liverpool, apending a month in
England after which we went to j
Paris. We remained in that vi
cinity, going on tbe usual slgnt
Mf ing tours of tbe battle fields.
V finally iert for Switzerland.
MEN WILL FIGHT HARD
O Kansas Kant is the battle-crv
that will ring from the throats of
over three thousand students this
afternoon as they go to the Bur
ington station to give the "1930
Cornhuskers what promises to bt
the greatest sendoff rally in Ne
braska history.
Nebraska will attempt to stop
the Kansas Juggernaut in . its
march towards a Big Six title in
Memorial stadium at Lawrence.
The Jayhawks have one of the
greatest football aggregations in
the history of the school, with a
line averaging 196 pounds and- a
backfield led by Jim Bausch
weighing 192 pounds. A win for
the Huskers will mean a chance of
retaining the conference - title,
while to lose would virtually elim-
! inate them from the race.
Nebraska Primed.
The Nebraska squad is primed
for what should be one of . th
greatest games of the year. Re
garding the game Coach Dana X
Bible said, "The Nebraska team
fought, hard against iPttsburgh to
keep fiom losing. It will fight
hard against Kansas to win."
Kansas has not won a gan
from Nebraska on their home field
since 1916 and have not won a
game of any sort from the Huskers
since 1916. For this reason the
Jayhawks can be expected to put
up the hardest fight possible to
break the jinx.
Classes will be dismissed at 4
o'clock today in order that all
students may attend the rally. Tha
entire 'R. O. T. C. unit of thirteen
companies, numbering over 1,900
men will form on the drill field at
4 o'clock. From there led by the
university band, they will march to
the station where they will salute
the team, standing at present arms '
while the Corncobs haul the squad
members and its coaches in hay
racks through the files of cadets
to the station.
Students To Follow.
Other students will follow along
behind the regiment either on foot
or in automobiles, and it is esti
mated that over 3.000 will take
part in the send-off.
Talks at the station will be given
by Coach Bible and Claude Rowly,
game captain for Saturday. The
train will leave at 5 o'clock on the
Union Pacific tracks. The team
will work out at Lawrence Friday
and spend Friday night in Kansas
City, returning to Lawrence for
the game Saturday.
