By Paul Dinnis.
In order to compare the regula
tion nf women's hours at the Uni
versity of Nebraska with similar
rules at other coeducational uni
versities, Dick dt-Brown, editor of
the DAILY NEBRASKA!, last
week completed a poll of 14 major
universities. DeBrown found that
all universities surveyed have
some sort of regulations imposed
upon women students, altho many
are much less stringent than at
Nebraska. There are no men's re
quirements at any of the Institu
tions, and women's hours apply
only to those living in official cam
pus residences, as at Nebraska.
