Fate Rett with A. W. S.
Although women students will
tie allowed to voice their opinions
on the proposal, actual fate of the
measure rests in the bands of the
Associated Women Studenta board.
This situation comes as a result of
a meeting of the faculty committee
on student affairs in Ellen Smith
hull late vesterdav afternoon.
Mibs Amanda Heppner, dean of
women and member of the faculty !
committee, stated yesterday that
tie A. W. S. board would be given
the privilege of deciding whether
coeds will abide by the old 12:15
rule or will be allowed fifteen more
minutes on week ends. She said
that no faculty member would in
ferfere or take part in the board's
decision and If the members wish
It. they have tbe authority to put
tie 12:39 amendment jnto effect.
3ard Not Obligated.
Miss Ksthcr Gaylord, president
of A. V. S. board, was in attend
ance at the Student council meet
ing yesterday and issued a state
ment declaring that the board docs
not feel obligated to act in accord
ance with the student referendum
which will be held today. There
were two women for every man at
the council meeting yesterday, al
though the men outnumber the wo
men by three in the official mem
bership record. There are eight
women and eleven men on the
council's rolls.
Placing 12:30 nights at the A.
W. S. board's disposition is in com
pany with a petition which was
granted the board by the faculty
committee yesterday. Petition of
the board was in the form of a re
quest for the right to establish it
self as a self governing body with
complete authority In making rules
concerning women.
Rules Must be Revised.
The request was granted with
the condition that the board revise
its constitution and house rules.
Since the 12:30 night proposal is
a house rule, in the opinion of the
faculty committee, it was referred
to the A. W. S. board.
The Student council completed
Its special meeting by officially
recognizing the yellow jacket and
barb political factions. Both par
tie3 had applied for recognition be
fore but their petitions were not in
tac proper form and a revision was
necessary before the council would
consider tbem.
Other Items of business which
were taken up at the faculty com
mittee meeting Monday were the
passing of a new set of rules per
taining to the election of May
queen; and the granting of a re
quest by Mortar Board for the or
ganization of an honorary scholas
tic society for freshmen women.
According to the new rules.
Mortar Board, as in the past, will
hve charge of the election of May
queen but will be assisted by the

The following platform was presented by the faction :
1. We hereby advocate more self-government, and by that
' mean that the students shall have a wider scope of power in
deciding on student problems and that through the candidates which
e yellow jacket faction shall place before the students the faculty
members on the Faculty Committee on Student Affairs shall feel
their candidates in the ability of the students to govern them
'vea has not been misplaced or overestimated.
2. The yellow jacket faction feels that the position of the Uni
ersity of Nebraska among other outstanding universities of the
ountry deserves a comic publication and we hereby recommend
lle establishment thereof.

Me faculty and the students on the Publication board.

"Nobody votes in Mexico they

League of Women Voters, at the
annual banquet held by the league
Thursday evening in Ellen Smith
hall.
'T fen into conversation with a
young Mexican who Informed me
that no one can be elected without
first making promises. The poli

them, so he lets the people turn

This is the cause of the many rev

tinned Mrs. Dietrich.
World famous artists come to
Mexico to look over its school sys
tem. The art and arctltectura)
schools of Mexico are among the
best ia the country. There is also
a compulsory school of law.
The University of Mexico is the
oldest on the American continent
and summer school there is an en
terprise in international relations
These sculpturing and painting
schools are free and aie attended
by children even at the age of
five, i Children obtain materials
from the school and go out in the
village to work, coming back to
the school for criticism.
Centers of infant hygiene are
located in all parts of the city.
Established classes are held in
child culture in both normal and
high schools.
The Indians of Mexico consider
the United States too imperialistic.
The Monroe doctrine is continually
being brought up as a menace to
Mexico's interests. The new con
stitution includes a new system
developed from labor, capital, and
communism which will probably
be as good if no better than the
white man's system, according to
Mrs. Dietrich.

The council is composed of presi- '
dents of organized houses and will
meet at least once a month in tie
future to consider problems of in-
teres! to the women of the uni- ,
vcrsity. j
According to Miss Amanda
Heppner, the ruling powers of !
women's organizations were re-:

of the board's desire to drop ftc ,
duties of enforcement. These
powers were given over to ber i

Blue Shirt Platform
The blue shirt faction asks for the support of the student body
to enable it to accomplish a constructive program m the mtrrert
of the students and the university.
Its program is as follows:
1. Proper correlation and intergration of all student organi
zations and activities.
2. Definition and expansion of the powers of the Stuaenl
council. ,
3 Promotion of an all-university spirit by fostering a more
intimate relationship between affiliated and unaffiliated students.
4 Exertion of a maximum amount of self-government, con
sistent with the practical necessities of university administration.
5. Establishment of a center for student activities in a Stu
dent Union building.
Tbe Hue shirt faction makes its bid for student Fupport. not
on the basis of hvpothetical propositions, out on lie atrenglh of
what it has actually accomplished and fostered during the past
year through its preponderant majority of members on the Student
council. ,
These accomplishments are well known: proportional repre
sentation to allow tbe fullest and fairest expression of student opin
ion in tbe council, complete control of all student elections, solution
of the rallv problem, abolition of minor class offices, recognition of
the Barb constitution, recommendation of 12:30 weekend nigbts fot
university women, and more positive assertion of the ideal or stu
dent self government.

I Farm House Createi Stir.
Much excitement was registered
Mondav by master politicians on
both sides ot the frateimty fence
when it was said that one of th
blue shirts was deserting the cause
and running over to the enemy
i camp. This was disquieted, how
ever, when ooth tbe faction leadrr,

I tivc of the fraternity in question,
: Don Facka, of f arm House, de
i clared that there w as nothing of-
filial aoout it.
i Tbe rumpus started when Farm
House asked the Student council
i to list its candidate on tbe farm
; campus as an independent instead
! of as a blue shirt as he was orig
inally filed,
j "There is nothing to the rumor
of our leaving the blue shirts." de-
clarerj Facka. "We have just de
cided thfit we will not support the
j blue thirt candidates on the agri
i cultural campus and therefore
wished to support our man inde
' pendently."
Have Not Resigned.
; No official resignation of the
' fraternity had been received hv
i President Day ol the blue shirts.
I He said:
"Tbe harm House has only de
cided to run independently in this
campaign and there is nothing
which the faction can do about it.
As far as we know. Farm House
is still one of tbe faction."
It is difficult to prognosticate
just what will happen at the polls
