ASSERTS RULING UNFAIR New Election Is Sought But Matter Is Referred to Committee. Members of Law college, through their representative John P. Jen sen, presented to the Student coun cil at its meeting last night a pro test of the recent action of the Kosmet Klub in passing an eligi bility rule for Nebraska's Sweet heart, who is presented by that organization at the annual Thanksgiving show. Jensen, speaking for the law col lege, said: "Our grievance is brought to the Student council be cause we feel that something should be done about this situation. The ruling which makes any gill having less thnn twenty-seven or more than eighty-nine credit hours in the university ineligible for Ne braska Sweetheart is unfair and discriminatory." Asked to Set Date. "We ask the Student council to set aside Oct. 20 for an election of Nebraska's Sweetheart, and that the council declare the recent rul ing of Kosmet Klub inoperative and of no effect. If it will not do this, we demand that the president of the Student council call a mass meeting of the students as pro vided for in the constitution of the Student council," Jensen con tinued. "Every man in the university is supposed to vote for the sweet heart anH this ia a. matter of gen eral interest. The girl is supposed to be typ'cally representative oi the choice of the men students.'' Jensen went on, "and when such a ruling is passed, she cannot be. This rule eliminates four different groups of women students: fresh men in the university, freshmen in law college, dental students taking the six year course, and fourth year medical students."
