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.

Sabbath a day for I i brary

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.

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

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

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

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:
