BIZAD COLLEGE GROWS Financial Stringency 'Is Cause for Decrease Among Women. Statistics show that the fresh man class is responsible for most of the 208 decrease in enrollment of students in the university for the present semester. Figures re leased by Florence McGahey, reg istrar, Tusday show that the total registration on Nov. 8 was 6,327 as compared with 6,535 on Nov. 9, 1929. This year there are 1598 first year students as compared with the 1757 of 1929. But nineteen of the total decrease was among the men, the balance 189. being women. This large decrease in the enrollment of women is undoubt edly due to the financial string ency of the country, declared uni versity officials, since women find it mere difficult to work their way through college than men. Bizad's Increase. The business administration col lege showed the largest increase, with 46 more students than last year. The colleges of dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, graduate col lege, school of nursing and the school of journalism all show in creases over last year. Miss Mc Gahey pointed to the fact that the applications for admission to the medical college this fall greatly exceeded its capacity and it was possible to admit but a limited number of students."

E OPINIONS ABOUT Extra Curricular Leaders Favor Change From Existing Plan. BELIEF IS UNANIMOUS Cornhuskers Are Unable to Govern Selves Under Present Method. BY MORPHEUS. When the Student, council meets in special sessiow tonight to con sider plans for a new constitution it will have the backing of leaders in many campus organizations. Opinions from officers and prominent members is various campus extra-curricular groups in dicate an almost unanimous belief that more power of self-expression and self government should be given by the faculty to the Student council. In the opinion of Edwin Faulk ner, chairman of the Student coun cil constitution committee, that body should have original jurisdic tion over all extra-curricular activ ities. "The student council," Faulkner believed, "should have power over all phases of student affairs ex cept those which the faculty may see fit to deny. I believe it is only right that the faculty should act as an appelate body with power to revoke certain steps which the council may take if they consider them too drastic, but to all ordin ary ends I believe the original jur isdiction should rest with the coun- cil. Sally Pickard's Opinion. j Sally Pickard. president of the ; Mortar Boards, and member of the j A. W. S. board holds the following ' opinion: " ' "It is only fair that the council should be given a voice in some terms of student activity but for the present at least, their author ity should be limited.

The Barb council in announcing the party stated that every attempt is to be made to introduce new ideas and different forms of entertain ment. The Austin waltz, the novelty number, is an utteuipt along this line. Alan Williams, chairman, stated that he was sure that the Austin waltz would find instant popularity with the students and every "Joe Collich" who has the good fortune to own an Austin would insist that he be allowed to take bis oversized "kiddy kar" to all dances from now on, formats included. The exact nature of the dance is still something of a sec ret but campus rumor tells us that an Austin car will play a promin ent part. The Omaha Night Owls, a color ed orchestra, will furnish tne mu sic. This orchestra is considered one of the best in Omaha. This is their first appearance at a univer sity dance. The Night Owls have proved very popular in Omaha.
