til 12 o'clock renewing old acquain
tances and making new ones. Refresh
ments were served. This party was a
fitting end to the homecoming fes
tiviiies.
NEW LIBRARY CLOCK
HAS BEEN INSTALLED
There is a new clock in the library
study room which is much hanaier
than besieging a neighbor or my
lucky person with a watch to know t
the time. The old clock had said i
10:50 lor several months. It is to be j
hoped that the hands of the new dock
will show no partiality to any spot.
But it looks very substantial and rea
dy to serve the co-eds. Also there is
one excuse less to reach a class late.

Special music, secured from Boston
Techncal school, which was used
there last spring in a local production

Utah University Men Banish
The Filthy Weed From Campus
Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 15. At
a large mans meeting Monday after
noon the male students of the Uni
versity of Utah went on record as be
ing opposed to the use of tobacco on
the campus. Despite earlier reports to
the contrary, it was definitely deter
mined by vote that the sentiment of a
large majority of men students was
unqualifiedly in favor of the present
restricting order which forbids smok
ing on the university grounds.
The meeting was called as a re
sult of a petition ligned by a ntm m
of members of the "smoking fratern
ity" protesting that the order was an
infringement of their rights as self
governing students. Adolph Shafsky,
president of the A. S. U. U.. presided
as chairman and the meeting was
thrown open to discussion. The first
student to take the floor declaredthat
the University of Utah enjoyed a char
acter of cleanlines and propriety In
its campus life that had often been
commented upon by visitors, particu
larly In its freedom from smoking. To
allow the using of tobacco at this
tine, he said, would be a distinct step
backwards and would brand the in'
stitutfon as being of a reactionary
nature. Other comments of a similar
nature followed by students who ex
pressed themselves as favoring the
continuance of the present ban. Men

KANSAS ROOTERS
Special -Train to Lincoln Saturday
Delayed by Several
Hours
Over three hundred Kansas rooters,
enroute to Lincoln, were delayed uy

were then routed over the Union

A wrecking crew had almost com

miles south of Beatrice, caused by a
freight engine jumping the track,
when the special arrived at 7:30 a.

The wrecked engine had jumped
clear off the track and ploughed into

the Nebraskans that a sizeable seiuad

more dollars to bet on the game.
The coaches bringing Kansaas to
Lincoln were marked up with injunc-
on to "Beat Nebraska, 'Beat eui

wered by other men to the effect that
these schools in a great number of
cases tolerated these conditions rather
than approved them and that the
trend of the present day was to abol

campuses. The matter was finally put
to a vote and by a large majority the
students expressed themselves as in
dorsing the stand taken by the facul
ty with respect to nicotine.
Student Government
The question of student government
was also raised at the meeting. In
stances of where student plans and
desires had unsuccessfully clashed
with faculty will were cited. It was
declared by several students that It
was "high time that something was
being done." It was proposed by one
that the faculty be vested with the
power to eto which could be over

Nebraska Took Lead
From the very start, Nebraska lock
the lead and started a march down
the rectanglp that prophesied ultimate
victory. Immediately after receiving
the kick-off, the Nebraska bacxs
lugged the ball twent;-two yards in
three downs, only to be halted by a fit
teen yard penalty. When Kansas firsr
tried to advancethe ball, they ml up
with a big surprise. The Husker line
was Impregnable and the big Jay
hawks who so easily tore up the Kan
sas Aggies and the Sooners, were halt
ed in their tracks by the Cornhuskers.
Neither team was able to get within
scoring distance during the first quar
ter. Captain Dobson attempted rwo
e'rop kicks but both were failures.
The Nebraska eleven scored early
in the second period. Dick Newman
