This space reserved for inside dope (and
this does not refer to the writer, if you
please). Big doings at the UN campus this
week, what with the AST coming back, the
Junior-Senior Prom being held, and the
Mortar Boards doing their usual tearing
around.
First thing we noticed was a veddy, veddy
secret meeting of BWOC freshmen women
up in the Innocent s room of the union.
Seems that they feel that they are being
left out of campus politics (we are glad to
hear someone is out of it) and therefore,
they have developed a plan to overthrow the
leaders in the various activities and take
over.
L L Afporoill. L L L
Circulating among that select group of
15 or so junior codes this week is petition
to the Mortar Boards, asking that only five
of their number be considered for Mortar
Board, due to rationing. The five juniors
will be elected by a unanimous vote of the
chosen group. The voting will take place to
morrow morning at 9 a. m. in U hall, and
voters will be admitted only by password,
which we hear is "Foiled Again."
Big rumors, numbers 849-853: We hear
that the Innocent will tackle fifteen this
year instead of the usual thirteen that
dorm freshmen may stay up until 11:31 for
the remainder of the semester that Doro
thy Carnahan will grant three o'clocks for
slight remuneration that Rae Lock won't
tell who is May Queen that the Alpha Chi's
have decided to move up on the campus and
get in on the deals for a while
This Is No Joke
Registration for voting in the Nebraska
primary election ends tomorrow. It's no
joke that approximately two-thirds of the
university population which is eligible to
vote has neglected to register. Indeed, the
process of registration and voting, as well
as the date of the election itself, is a mys
tery to most of those who could avail them
selves of the privilege.
Most of them don't care. They admit that

Read 'Em and Weep
A new university theatre AST returns
125 men report for spring football practice
honor systems for final exams. Read 'em
and weep. Read the stories all the way
through, every inch of them, and sit down
for a good cry. They're the figment of the
collective imaginations of a slightly de
mented Nebraskan staff.
Like the brick under the top hat. the
string on the billfold, and other April Fool
eries, this issue of the Nebraskan has a
catch to it. Perhaps we've carried this thing
a bit too far! Anticipation of the rumors we
are about to spread worries us a little, but
only a little. "
If readers inspect each story with utmost
care, they will discover a note of seriousness
beneath the railery. We label it "wishful
thinking" a reflection of the wishes of the
UN population. Perhaps it will give impetus
to atempt to institute some changes. If not,
read it and weep.
they have no interest in local elections, but
insist that they would not miss the Novem
ber ballot. They are beginning young. They
are starting with the attitude that their
votes will not improve local government,
from whence come the politicians of ,the
state and the nation.
If every eligible voter marked a ballot in
the primaries for the man he considered best
at the post, the movement begun in local
elections would push forward to national
politics. The improvement would be marked,
and welcome.
YOUR UNIVERSITY
By Janet Mason.
University officials announced
the new plans for the university
in the future, today.
Probably one of the most im
portant proposed developments is
that of an honor system for final
examinations. Beginning next year
students will be asked to take the
responsibility of reporting cheat
ing during examinations them
selves. This will make it possible
for professors and proctors to be
absent when tests' are given, with
out fear of receiving illegitimate
papers.
Other new plans for the uni
versity are in the form of im
provements and additions to the
buildings. Due to the number of

casualties expected after the war,
elevators will be installed in all
buildings, and escalators, wherever
possible. The first new building to
be constructed will be a university
theater. This will be built on the
location where Ellen Smith now
stands. The houses west of Ellen
Smith are to be torn down and
the new building will extend for a
half-block, with the entrance on
14th.
Build Dance Hall.
To satisfy student complaints
over a lack of places to go in
Lincoln, the university will erect
a new dance hall on the parade
grounds between Andrews and
Teachers. Professors will be em
ployed to serve 3.2 beer and mixed
drinks during their free hours. If
possible an orchestra will be en
gaged permanently to pmy at
night and the proverbial juke box
will provide music during the day.
To go into effect next fall, will
be the new rules on hours for so
rority and dormitory women. On
week nights, women will be al
lowed to stay out until 11:30, with
1:30 the limit on Friday and Sat
urday. Three 2:30 nights a semes
ter will be set.
The Student Union will undergo
the most drastic change. This will
be in the form of an underground
concrete room, off the kitchen, to
dispose of garbage. Lesser changes
in the Union will be showers and
shaving equipment to take care of
the ATOs when their water and
heat is shut off; three extra rooms
to be known as "Phi Psi Gulch,
Sig Alph Hill and Penn Woods;"
and free cokes and brownies to be
served in the ballroom day and
night during exam weeks.
Aside from underground pas
sages between buildings, to be
opened during disagreeable
weather, we are told that many
other plans are still in progress.
Students with suggestions for fur
ther improvements are asked to
turn in written statements to El
len Smith not later than midnight,
March 30.
