BUILDING
NEEDED
THINGS LOOK PROMISING FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT.
UNI, NEEDS UNION BUILDING
First Mixer to be Held Tomorrow
Night May be Many Like it in
the Future In the
Armory.
With the approach of the "mixer"
tomorrow night the need becomes ap
parent tht for a students' building
where such affairs as these may be
held, and which the students may use
as a rest room between classes, instead
of converting the library into such a
place.
Although it is not expected that
Armory will be unable to hold all who
will come, nevertheless Indications are
that there wil be a flattering attend
ance. It is easily seen that such a
building as has been repeatedly pro
posed could be used to no loss and it
would be found as useful as conven
ient. The committees for the Friday night
party are turning in their reports and
everything points toward a successful
evening.' On the Interest which the
students take in this first "mixer" will
depend its future whether it will be
continued or the idea dropped. Many
students have already signified their
intention to come. However, if the
authorities are to be convinced that
it is the wish of the majority of the
student body that such affairs be con
tinued, the majority of the student
body will have to attend, and present
indications are that this will be the
cage.

Ings First Time They Have
Appeared at Nebraska
The directors of the Fine Arts Col
lege make the statement that there
will be a large exhibit in Art Hall,
beginning December the first. This
exhibition will be without doubt the
best and most important one which
has ever been displayed In this Univer
sity. It consists of fifty very select
paintings of the best artists of Europe
and America. This is the first time
that these works of art have ever been
on display anywhere except at the
Institute but this year, at their own
expense, they are sending these pic
tures to the various large universities
of this country. Nebraska is indeed
fortunate in being able to obtain this
exhibition which will be the. best cos
mopolitan display ever shown here.

alumni is expected to be present, and

PROF. SHELDON ON
JURY THIS WEEK
Dismissed When Maxey's Case Came
Up Sheldon Has Served Several
Times on Regular Panel.
Prof. A. E. Sheldon is serving on a
jury this week. Mr. Sheldon was wil
lingly dismissed on Dr. Maxey's case,
the reason being that he might be in
terested. He was impaneled on an
other jury and the prisoner upon see
ing the jury, plead guilty and threw
himself upon the mercy of the court.
Mr. Sheldon has served several times
on the regular panel and his sugges
tion is that the men serving on a jury
do not talk. Juries which do not
agree are usually hindered with too
much eloquence. Mr. Sheldon states
that he did not debate until the rest
were through and then it had some
effect.

110 GAME YESTERDAY
MORE SECRET PRACTICE GIVEN
THE TEAM INSTEAD
POTTER MAY PLAY SATURDAY
Men Are Now in Fair Condition,
Though Several Are Still Handi
capped by Early Season
Injuries.
By II. I. Kyle
No exhibition game was played yes
terday, the coach having decided that
more practice was necessary in fa
miliarizing the warriors in the new
plays devised for the entertainment
of the oncoming Jayhawks. As before,
the practice was held secretly. We
can promise the impatient fans that
something startling in the way of
football is due to be shown in next
Saturday's conflict. This israll that
can be told now; it's all a deep, dark
secret, y'know.
Potter was ont in his gridiron duds
yesterday and it now seems probable
that the doughty little general will
lead the Scarlet and Cream forces in
at least a part of the battle. Nebras
ka's football barometer has touched
the high places again as a result. A
feeling is prevalent among the fans
that the Cornhuskers are fully four
teen points stronger with Potter in
the game than without him.
Most of the men are now in fairly
good condition, though Rutherford,
Doyle, Norris and Howard are all still
suffering from old injuries that are
apt to prevent them from putting up
their best game Saturday. It can be
depended upon, however, that Stiehm
will put the strongest possible team in
the field against the Jayhawks.
The department of Greek archaeol
ogy of the University of Iowa has on
exhibition a collection of two hundred
tablets recently found while excava
tions were being made" in the neigh
borhood of ancient Babylon. The tab
lets are said to date back 4,500 years.
or from the days of the prophet Daniel.
Pi Phis who will attend the game
Saturday are: Lucile and June Brown
and Euroda Scott of Omaha, Claire
Scriber of Dennison, la.; Hazel
Thompson and Lucille Bell of York,
and Charlotte Allen of St. Joseph, Mo.
