The Student council's new by
laws appear in full in this issue of
the Daily Nebraskan.

dent council Wednesday definitely

cedure to be followed in cases
where it decrees a closed night.
Organizations must petition the
council to close a night within
three months before the desired
date according to the regulations.
If the council votes by a majority
to grant the petition, all organiza
tions included by the order, will be
notified by mail and the notice
will be published in the Daily Ne
braskan on two successive issues.
The council reserves the right to
close a night for an organization
who put in a petition within three
months before the date by exempt
ing all organizations from the
order who havt previously sche
duled an affair.
Organizations violating the rules
will be subject to such penalties
aa the judiciary committee of the
council deems necessary.
The student council voted not to
join the American National Stu
dent federation of America and to
participate in a regional confer
ence but to continue work with
Kansas State , Iowa State, Missouri
and Kansas universities in a stu
dent federation organized by these
schools a year ago.
The second meeting will be held
this fall during football season as
d.-cided in the first conference.
The council will continue plans for
the convention which probably will
b- held in Lavrcnce. Kas.. unless

federation.

Iff.. I IK SAYS coin
WEATHER IS OVER
ran this yeah
All (amius Activities
Seem to Prove That
It Is Spring.
"When this time of the year
not likely to
have any more cold weather," said
T. A. Blair, state meteorologist.
-wo Tviii nrnhahlv have another
snow but it will be a light one and
will not last long." he continued.
Weather predictions are mild
enough to encourage sport shoes
and clothes and the putting down
of car tops. The last killing frost
should appear not later than the
middle of April, according to Blair.
"The grass is beginning to grow
green and farmers over the state
are beginning to plow, so spring
is surely on its way," offered Mr.
Blair. "Of course spring is not of
ficially recognized as such until
the spring equinox, which conies
on March 20," he smiled.
Remarks about how criminal it
was to have to study during such
weather as we are now enjoying
have not escaped the ears of Mrs.
Graham, head of the circulation
department in the university li
brarv. Despite the inner urge not
to study the circulation statistics
have risen to an unusually high
number within the last few days.
According to many students
term papers seem to be responsi
ble for this. Mrs. Graham said
that the size of the circulation had
a tendency to drop gradually as
spring progressed. One is bound
to observe how the student sitting
in the library studying looks away
from his book eveiy now and then
with that far away look in his
eyes.
The operator of a near-the-eam-pus
filling station smiled when
asked if business was picking up.
"I've 'filled 'er up' on one gallon of
gas every Friday and Saturday
night for college men for several
months, but now that it's spring
they usually mean it when they
say 'fill 'er up'."
While Dustiness is picking up at
