the Nebraska University station is
broadcasting to a smaller area at 8:30

Tests were made yesterday to de
termine whether the line telephone
connections between Hastings and
Lincoln are good enough to allow the
program to be transmitted to Hast

The different numbers forming the
evenings entertainment will be
broadcasted from WFAV by radio
and by telephone and by the latter
will be relayed to Hastings, there to
be transmitted over a wider range,
than would be possible with the Ne

Hastings set is 28 6 metres. .
WILL HOLD VOTE
ON POINTSYSTEM
Student Council Calls for Bal
lot on Limitation of Indi
vidual Activities.
REFERENDUM IS PART
OF REGULAR VOTING
A special referendum on the desira
bility of a point system to govern
activities at Nebraska has been called
by the student council for next Tues
day along with the general election
of class officers, members of the stu
dent publication board and Ivy orator.
The entire student body will take part
in the vote.
No plan has been outlined for such
a system to date and the ballot taken
will be merely an expression of the
students on the system. Providing
the vote taken shows the majority in
favor of such a plan the council will
go ahead and outline a system to be
presented to the student at a later
election.
To date, but four filings have been
received for the eight offices to be
filled, and it is desired by the council
that more interest be taken in the
toming election. Filings must b
made by Friday noon, F,oruary 15,
Limit Activities.
The point system which is to be
voted at the coming election has suc
cessfully been introduced in many of
the larger schools of the country and
has come before the council as a sys
tem for the University of Nebraska.
The theory is that a student may
occupy only a limited number of posi
tions in the activities of the institu
tion and after reaching the individual
honor limit shall be barred from fur
ther participation. This method of
limiting the positions of the school
makes it possible for more students to
take part in activity, say advocates of
the plan.
At the coming election one member
from each of the upper classes will
be elected to the publication board.
The members will take their offices
next year and will hold their positions
through the term. The Ivy day ora
tor is chosen by the senior class to
give the principal address of Ivy day
following the coronation of the May
Queen.

Council of Churches, in Lincoln and
in neighboring cities, upon the sub
