AWS P
2L A. M.' Smile
AWS board has passed the pend
ing rule affecting the overnights
of University women at their meet
ing Tuesday afternoon.
The rule, which will go into ef
fect next semester, states that a 2
a.m. closing will be granted on
the nights of certain big events
and no overnights in Lincoln will
be allowed on these occasions.
The referendum vote to the wom
en students resumed in a 250 vote
margin approving the measure.
540 women students .favored the
plan and 285 opposed it.
Stronger resistance was dis
played in the sorority vote. 261 so
rority women opposed the measure
and 24 independents registered ne
gative votes.
The nights affected by this rule
are Homecoming, Military Ball,
the All-University Spring event,
(should one be scheduled) and a
house or dorm formal.
"Pressure has been put on Dean
Johnston and AWS by the adminis
tration and the Lincoln mothers
for the passage of this ruling,"
said Paula Broady Wells, AWS
president.
According to Mrs. Wells, it is
hoped that the 2 a.m. hours will
eliminate the problem of having
great numbers of coeds migrate
to Lincoln homes on the night of
a big event.
If only two overnights are al
lowed, AWS feels that students will
use discretion in planning to take
overnights, she said.
House formals will not be 2 a.m.

Use Of Parking M
By NANCY COOVER
Staff Writer
Parking meters or restrictions
on cars among freshmen have been
suggested as possible solutions
to the crowded parking conditions
now and in later years, Dr. Adam

said.

average of 500

cars to the campus.
The additional buildings which
will be needed to house these stu
dents will also take up some of
the' space now used for parking,
Breckenridge said
Lyman' Hall, which will be built
west of Bancroft School, and the
new addition to the - Union, on
which work is expected to begin
next summer, will also displace
parking space.
We have the maximum amount
of available parking space right
now, Breckenridge said. We have
more space than we have ever
had or probably will have in the
future. We have no solution for
future problems, but we know the
situation will be acute, he added.
Suggestions for solutions were
discussed at Cornhusker Round
Table by representatives from Stu
dent Council and Breckenridge.
Parking meters, one of the sug
gestions, would probably be placed
in areas where students only need
to park a short time, such as
around the library, Breckenridge
said.
This is only a suggestion, not a
recommendation, he stressed, but
it has been done on other cam
puses short of parking space.
The suggestion for allowing no
freshmen to have cars was also
based on precedents set on other
campuses. The University of Mis
souri does not allow freshmen,

closing hours, Mrs. Wells said. She
added that AWS does not encour
age taking out-of -towns on the
nights named as 2 a.m. nights.
Specific provisions of the ruling
are:
If a house has two house for
mals, providing they do not fall
within the same semester, both
may be 2 a.m. nights. If both for
mals fall within the same semester,
one must conform to the regular
closing hours, with no overnights
being granted. House parties are
not considered as formals and do
not call for extension of hours.
If girls from other houses Attend
a house formal, they will not be
granted a similar extension of
hours, unless their own house has
been granted a 2 a.m. permission.
Each girl, freshmen included,
will have 2 overnights in Lincoln
and three out-of-towns per semes
ter. Any overnights in Lincoln on
nights scheduled as 2 a.m. nights
must have special authorization
from Miss Johnston.
Scheduling of a 2 a.m. night
does not necessarily cause the clos
ing hours on the following night to
be earlier. In the case of all Uni

Board will announce the closing
hours for the entire weekend.

sophomores and juniors to keep
cars on campus.
The University of Colorado does
not allow freshmen to have cars,
and may restrict upperclassmen
if their parking problem is not
solved, Breckenridge said. Stu
dents who have to commute to
campus would of course be al
lowed to park their cars, he
added.
It would be primarily a matter
for the administration to decide
if these suggestions were to be
come definite proposals, Breck
enridge said.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin,
Breckenridge and Comptroller John
Selleck, general business man
ager, would compose the adminis
tration making the proposals and
decisions, he said.
The parking situation is acute
now only on Mordays, Wednesdays,
and Fridays, between 9 a.m. and
11:15 a.m. The administration in
vites any other suggestions for the
problem, he said.
The University has some unused
space on 17th Street which has
been leased from the Burlington
Railroad and will be used for
parking by a small number of stu
dents with permits. The lot accom
modates from 400 to 500 cars.
By next fall, after the Union ad
dition has been built, some students
who now walk a block to class
will have to walk from 17th
Street, Breckenridge said.

one-week exam period in the Fac

Kosmet Klub Spring Show were
selected as the three top news
stories of the first semester by
the Nebraskan staff.
Other stories picked in the top
ten stories of the semester are:
4. The signing of Pete Elliott as
the new coach.
5. The voting down of the ac

Glassford's resignation as head
football coach at the University
was unanimously selected as the
top story of the semester. Not only
did it effect the University, but
received wide-spread attention in
national sports coverage.
Glassford resigned because, as
he said it, for a prsonal reason.

itself in the second top news story
of the semester.
A Student Council-sponsored poll
showed student opinion definitely
in favor of the regular two-week
period.
The Senate voted 125-87 to send
the calendar Containing the short
period back to committee, and pro
vided for two-week exams for the
school year of 1956-57. Two week
exams were already in effect for
the present year.
The Faculty Committee on Stu
dent Affairs banned the Kosmet
Klub Fall Show because of bad
taste on the part of the master
of ceremonies, Marshall Kushner.
Kushner said, "the faculty is
making a terrible mistake in blam

thing I did." The Kosmet Klub
based much of its plea on the
fact that the fall show carries
the bill for the spring show.

Review Set
Wednesday
William Faulkner's novel "The
Unvanquished" will be reviewed
by Dr. Robert Knoll, assistant pro
fessor of English, Wednesday at
4 p.m. in Union Parlors A and B.
One of Faulkner's lesser known
books, "The Unvanquished" takes
place in the period immediately
following the Civil War and deals
with a young man's coming of
age. The novel is actually a series
of connected short stories.
"The Unvanquished" is a good
book for a student to begin the
reading of Faulkner, according to
Knoll.
"Although it is neither one of
the author's best nor worst books,
it contains some very outstanding
passages as well as some very
ordinary ones," he said.
Dr. Knoll recently edited the
textbook, "Contrasts," which is
used by the English 3 classes.
The review is open to the public.
Coffee will be served.
