Gentlemen: The Student Council

jdlres to bring before you in this In

! L Due to the fact that it is alleged
Sat the standard of Scholarship of

kuse of their attendance at the thea
res and public dances in the middle
I the week, the student council has
jade a thorough Investigation of the
Matter.
j 1 The Student Council systeinatl-
ally obtained data on the number ol
tudents attending the theatres ana
'he public dances on the week nights.
fter studying these figures, definite
lans were layed where, by the at
endance of a university student at

Vas to be prohibited. However, that

half on Wednesday night, This par

ic entertainment but was to aav
be advantage of being a purely unV
ersity party, on the campus, made

opervteed by the university author!
Ses. The purpose of this party was
ot only to furnish sufficient social
'CtiTtUes for the student body in the
nlddls of the week, under very des
Me conditions but, because It was a
Periodical social affafflr in which the
tudents mingled as an individual arl
a a university function, rather thaa
individual participating to a social
unction of some group," it would tend
0 bring about a truer Nebraska splr-

Therefore, finding that one of the

Impressions of a Reporter Writing
A btory on a frozen lypewriter
There are as many kinds of typewrit

kan these days as may be found In
the beat of repair shops.. Of course,
it is admitted that when the thermo
meter is hovering around forty de
grees in the editorial rooms of the
paper, and the working reporters can
easily blow their breath across the
room. It Is difficult to write on a type
writer In good repair, when fingers
are numb and feet are frosen.
But, as it stands, and as conditions
are apt to remain for some time, there
are typewriters of every description
ready to receive the oaths and curses
of the angry manipulators. There Is
the typewriter with the red ribbon,
signifying the most radical Bolshevik
tendencies. Someone forgot In bis

A reporter has a "scoop" right Iron,

typewriter (they are always waiting,
because no onr has the heart to use
them) and starts that endless flow of

The university will remain open ac
cording to the decision made by the
Coal Conservation Committee at a
meeting held . at the Burlington
offices Sunday afternoon. 'The uni
versity will, be furnished with all the
coal needed to run" said Mayor Miller
of the committee Sunday . afternoon,
"and a car will be sent to the State
Farm . Monday." Inquiries made by
the committee developed that other
state universities are remaining open.
Striking mine workers accept the
proposal of President, Wilson to meet
In Joint conference Tuesday to end
the nation-wide strike. With Indica
tions pointing to an early settlement,
the possibility of keeping the univer
sity open until Christmas recess is
rery much Increased. ( Chancellor
AverySaturday- night- said, however,
that If actual suffering existed among
the people, the university would be
closed at once.
The university will practice every
economy possible toward coal conser
vation. Class rooms during the com
ing week will not be heated to the
degree they would If there were plenty
of coal. Keeping fuel consumption to
the minimum this week makes It
necessary for students to wear over
coats In classes. If buildings become
too cold, classes will be dismissed.
Already some of the classes in free
a
hand drawing requiring a certain
amount of warmth, have been sus
pended. Steam has been turned off
at noon In several of the buildings
and faculty members are making
these conditions as little burdensome
M possible to the students. Unto
the situation Is normal again, the
ahortened schedule will be kept in
effect
With one thousand already prepared
to go to the mines, the number of
volunteers are increasing every day.
Dean 8 tout has received replies from
several of his wires which call for
men experienced In certain phases of
mine work. How soon men will leave
la un certain, for present indications
are that an early settlement will nuke
It unnecessary for these men to go to
the mines.
Many Nebraska towns are sending
In frantic pleas for coal, having
waited until their coal supply was en
tirely exhausted before asking assist
ance. Every possible enon is oeing
made to prevent suffering but It will
be some time before there will be re
lief. Seme towns are entirely depend

Conference Faculty Delegates De
nounce Athletic Relations
With Other Valley Teams
Missouri Valley Officials Frown
tUpon Idea of One Game Each
Year in Omaha .
Nebraska is out of the Missouri Val
ley conference for good. The faculty
delegates of the conference, meeting
at Kansas City Friday and Saturday,
officially denounced all athletic rela
tions between the Cornhuskers and
other Valley Conference teams. Kan
sas is the only Valley member who
will abide by her contract and play
the Huskers next year. Both Ames
and Missouri have announced Ihelr
Intentions to entirely disregard the
agreements between them and Nebras
ka. . Although the conference authori
ties conceded these schools the right
to observe their contracts, both de
creed that their teams would not meet
Nebraska in 1920.
. This action of the conference dele
gates did not come as a surprise to
Nebraska athletic officials, nor is
their any regret in Cornhusker circles
of the withdrawal from the conference
last summer. Nebraskans believe
that the Husker authorities acted en
tirely within their rights when they
asked 'permission to play one game
each year in Omaha, the seat of ttie
University Collego of Medicine.
Sport writers throughout the Val
ley are pointing to the inconsistency
of the conference in refusing to let
the Huskers play a game in Oma
ha and at the same time allowing
Kansas and Missouri to hold their an
nual indoor track meet in Kansait
City. The Des Moines Register
says: "To an outsider it appears In
consistent for the conference to say
that Nebraska cannot play a football
game at Omaha and. then to sanction
the annual indoor meet between Miss
ouri and Kansas universities at Kan
sas City, where It Is. held in Conoen
tion hall " ' .t '."
"If the football game in Omaha Is
undesirable, how about the Missou
i i-Kansas indoor meet in Kansas City?
Where is the dlstlnctionr
Clyde E. McBride, well-known Kan
sas City sport writer and authority,
believes the CornhusWs to be In the
right Commenting on the Conference
scrap, he writes: "There was much
Justice in the request of the Universi
ty of Nebraska to be permitted to play
an annual game in Omaha. The Lin
coln authorities went before the con
ference with sufficient reasons to back
up their request reasons vital to the
University of Nebraska. When per

('Nebraska was forced to wlthdiaw.
It would seem that when conditions
arise at any school that are of vital
interest to that school the confei-ence
should recognize the situation and
lend a helping band.
"Nebraska's attitude In the whole
matter has been commendable."
In spite of the sction of the confer
ence members. Nebraska officials are
anticipating ao trouble in arranging a
1J2Q gridiron schedule without the aia
of any Missouri Valley teams. Offers
from the Naval Academy, West Vir

been received by Nebraska. If any
of these are acepted. the Cornhuskers
will probably clash with the Midship
