Dean Burr an nounced the decision of the student-faculty board on Friday. As a result, classes will now start at twenty minutes after the hour instead of on the half hour. The move was made to relieve the congested situation at the cafeteria, caused by the large numDer or students to be served after the last morning class.

Students who have after noon classes on the city campus will have more time to arrive at their classes on schedule.

American college students are about half as versed in the work ings of their federal government as their foreirn cousins w.vincr naturalized citizenship, if a poll conducted by The Daily Nebras kan is any indication. Four Questions were chosen from a list of 117 questions drawn up lor aliens to know n prepar ing for naturalization examina tions. Approximately half of the 80 students asked would not be granted citizenship if they were anens on me oasis or this minia ture exam. The questions and the expected answers were: 1. What is the Bill of Right? (First ten amendment to the Constitution.) 2. How many electors has Ne braska in the Electoral College. (Six, equal to the number of senators and representatives.) 3. When do the regular sessions of congress convene? (Third Tuesday in January of every even numbered year.) 4. How is a treaty with a for eign country made? (By the President with the approval of the senate.) Although more students an swered the Eill of Rights question correctlv than anv of the other questions, still many had a shaky notion. ne main major auno uted it to the Preamble to the Constitution, tacking it onto the wrong end of that document. An English major encountered in An- 1 3 rr..i- .,i arews ana a leacners college sophomore replied blithely that it' : tionnl affairs. In addition, each 'group provides recreational facil 1 ities for ils members The YMCA 'offers pnrtic ipntion in intiamii'-al sports, hikes and picnics as well as ping-pong and other t.iM ! games at the "Y" 1our.ee rooms j in Temple. Included in YWCA I recreation is one group that has i always drawn attention, knitting, j Typical of the YWC.Vs long list of interest groups are such study commissions as social i service, comparative religion, h. ' ter-cultural Bible studv. and la I bor relations. Distributing its in j tcrest studies under more gon , et al headings, the YMCA holds discussions through commission groups bearing the titles sori.,1 effectiveness, personal effective ness and faith for life. Expenses of the "Y's" d-fracl in part by budget appropriations of Lincoln "Y's" and the Com munity Chest, are paid for by the student members themselves through fees. Membership fee for the YMCA is SI while the YWCA fee is up to the prospective mem- 1 . In Joinm, members may 1 comnoure more as they desire. I Vols Committee To Probe Subsistence Increases A committee was formed Thurs day at the bi-monlhly meeting of Uni Vets to investigate increased subsistence allowance for student veterans.

Most Missed. With talk in the last congres sional session of revising the sys tem of electing the President by the electoral college a system which conceivably could put in office a candidate other than the one chosen by popular vote the second question served a dual purpose. First of all, it would show if students knew what the abstract "college" was. (One jun ior remarked, "You mean that college back east somewhere?") Second, it would show if they knew how many representatives the state had, since the number of electors equals the toUl of rep resetTtatives and two senators, six in Nebraska's case. Missed more than any other question, it drew answers 0 12 (from a psychol ogy professor), and from one to seven. Final tabulation: correct, 28; incorrect, 43; didn't know. 9.
