NU chemist figures in city charges Council challenges patent rights of Col. C. J. Frankforter The Lincoln city council chal lenged the claim of Col. C. J Frankforter, associate chemistry professor, that the processes in volved by the city at its Ashland water plant in connection with manganese removal constitute in fringement of Frankforter's let ters of patent. The council thru 1 its legal department began pro ceedings in federal court for a de claratory judgment. In the petition the city re quests the court to declare the patents invalid, to have the rights of the municipality to the process determined, and for such other re lief as may be necessary and proper. Professor Frankforter claims to be owner of the entire right, title and interest in and to letters of patent granted to him on Jan. 7, 1939. He allegedly applied for let ters in October. 1935. He had filed notice of impending suit against the city last June but the suit was not instituted. The council declares that be cause of this threatened action the rights of the municipality are be ing jeopardized and that in the interest of the community, the question should be decided by a court of law. Frankforter seeks to hold the city liable for damages and profits accrued thru the inven tion on which be alleges he holds claim.

Facing trial on Nov. 27, Heming was charged with drunken driving. He was was re leased under $200 fine. The youth collided with a car driven by W. J. Gnffm. Sabbath a day for I i brary study declare NU students By Paul Svoboda. Would students make use of the library sufficiently on Sunday to merit its opening on that day? University officials evidently feel that they would not as the build ing does not open wide the doors to knowledge. Many of the more conscientious students prepare Monday's assignments usually on Sunday. Quite a percentage of the preparations must be had from the library. If the student wants to get his work he must go to the city library where references are not as complete and where a card, of nominal cost, is required. A majority of the collegians feel that if the building is open on Sat urday it certainly should be open on Sunday since it is logical that more students would prepare les sons on that day. Should the university library be open on Sunday 7 Eleanor Asplund, teachers senior It doesn't make any difference to me. I'd never be there anyway. There are too many other places where time can be spent more ad vantageously than in the library. Sunday is the time for relaxation. NaOine Arnold, teachers, sophomore. I never have use for the library on Sunday and I don't think many others do either. Mont students could arrange their work so that it would be pos'i"'!c to do it on days when the library le attain able. Bob Stone, arts and science frech- man. It sounds like a ood iJcc I think a lot of students would make use of it if it were open, at least on Sunday afternoons. More per See STUDENTS, Page 2. Fall show passes in review With everything from dictators to pickaninnies Want to learn to speak? See 'Demosthenes' DuTeau How many times have you ex- thought of facing an audience is cused yourself from talking in enough to cause the ruddiest cheek public because "you're not cut to pale, the sturdiest legs to trem- out to be a speaker?" The mere ble. But take it from Ellsworth F. DuTeau, university alumni secre tary, the battle is half won when you know what you want to say. Then, too, there's some comfort in remembering that Demosthenes, Naughty but nice. We mean the skits for the Kosmct Klub Fall Revue which we got inside dope on to give readers a preview of what will come off next Saturday afternoon at the Liberty Theater. Delta Upsilon's "Broadcast Tin types" is clothed in mystery. It can be said, however, that trite expressions of radio announcer furnish much of the humor in the skit, the brain child of Ed May and Tom Brown. The Phi Psi's went musical this year with a production entitled "An Octave Speaks." Directed by Carl Harnsberger, the skit fea tures a "not too serious" dance by Harold Swan and Bob Brust. -A. T. O.'s skit, "Extra Currik," goes in for music and comedy. Stars of this mimicry of an hour dance are Charlie Davis, Art Picr son and Don Metheny who have "fairly smooth sailing" while at the dance.

Jack Castle, to decide on judiciary resolutions Mores to prevent rally brawls, domination of prom committee are up Candidates elected to office but affiliated with factions which can be proved to have participated in rally fights will be barred from of fice if a resolution so providing is passed by the Student Council to morrow afternoon. This resolution would give power to bar the can didate to the Student Council as a whole, and not to the judiciary committee. Also before the Council for con sideration tomorrow is a resolution providing that each faction shall have at least one representative on the prom committee, regard less of their political strength on the Council. Punitive measures barring the liberal candidate elected in the election of a week ago, for faction participation in the rally fights in which Charles Harris was hurt. will probably be dropped, accord ing to Merrill Englund, chairman of the judiciary committee, but the judiciary committee will continue an investigation of the case. The measure which will be voted on is as follows: "Whenever any faction shall prove that its members were at tacked with eggs, stones, or other missiles or weapons during the rally preceding an election by the members of another, that the for mer shall have the grounds to pro test the election, and that should the council (acting as a committee of the whole) see fit to grant the validity of that protest, each of ficer elected by the offending fac tion shall be replaced by the man with the next highest number of votes." The accompanying proviso which will probably be dropped reads: 'In view of the fact that we are satisfied that the trouble was caused by members of the liberal faction, we recommend that the candidate placed by that faction in Tuesday's election be replaced by the man with the next highest number of votes. The suggestion aforementioned assumes that fac tion leaders or its representatives shall shoulder all responsibility for any acts committed by mem bers of the faction which they represent. Responsibility does not end, however, with close of the rally." If this retroactive resolution should be adopted it would bar Forrest Behm. liberal from the presidency of the junior class. Dale Kreps and Grant Thomas are some of the members in tne an star cast. The Kappa's are presenting a strictly "talent" number this year. The name of their "very serious" production, directed by Marjorie Runyan, is "Elue Interlude." Across the street the Sigma Nu's are putting the finishing touches on "Fritz's Platz." In this far from serious skit Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler, played by Bob Metz, Jack Lee and Roer 'Ana wait respectively, do a little "cut ting up." Th eta's go black face. In the Alpha Phi skit Betty Groth takes the part of a house mother in a musical production which includes a dance of the waiters and a candy passing.

Seven must split prediction prizes Seven persons tied for first place in last week's DAILY football con test, so those seven persons will share alike in the $6 prize money offered to the winners. Each will receive 85 and 5-7 cents for their predictions. Some, perhaps, will have to be satisfied with 85 or 84, but what's one or two cents in a capitalistic system? The seven "lucky" winners are Dean Jackson, Don Anderson, Har old Oelkers, Betty McGeachin, Bob Tollefsen, John Fredenhague, and George Cockle. The Minnesota-Michigan game tripped up six of the seven win ners. To be exact the following are the games missed by the seven: Jackson: Mich.-Minn., Texas Baylor; Anderson: Texas-Baylor, Army-Harvard; Oelkers; Mich Minn., Calif. -Wash.; McGeachin: Army-Harvard, Mich.-!.! inn.; Tol lefsen: Mirti.-Minn., Ala-Tuk ne; Fredenhague: Mich-Minn., A'a Tulan?; Cockle?
