ENGINEERS WIN
R FROM LAWS 4 TO 0
The engineers won from the laws
in the first game of inter-department
series by a score of 4 to 0.
The laws were unable to get started
while the engineers had luck breaking
their way most of the time. The
pitchers were all good for the laws.
Caley allowed but one hit and Zum-
winkle the same. Hauschke and Crow
nover had none checked up against
them.

BUILDING PROGRAM
CITY CAMPUS STRUCTURES TO BE
FINISHED THIS YEAR
Daley Industry Building One of Best
In the United States for
Efficiency
The Proposed Agricultural Engineering Building for the Farm Campus.
The Agricultural Engineering build
ings will be two stories and basement,
and will be 180 by 76 feet in plan. It
will face south and center on the pres
ent flag pole. Its beautiful entrance
consisting of four Ionic columns,
frieze and cornice of Bedford lime
stone will close the vista one sees in
looking north from Holdrege street
over floral park.
The University Week association ex
ecutive committee meets at 11:45 a. m.
today In U. 106. Very important.
ENGINEERS' FIELD DAY
Engineers' field day will be held
next Thursday. There will be base
ball games between the different de
partments, a horseshoe contest for the
faculty members and a free-for-all foot
race in the morning. Several other
events are being arranged for but as

ENGINEERS' NIGHT
'SET FOR APRIL 22
All Laboratories and Class Rooms to
be Open to Visitors Opportunity
to See Student at His Work
April 22 is the date set for the an
nual Engineers' Night. At that time
every laboratory of the college of en
gineering will be in operation. Every
thing will be open to the public and
ample opportunity will be offered to
see the student at his work.
In the mechanical engineering build
ing will be found some of the most
completely equipped laboratories in the
west. On the second floor are the wood
working laboratory, fuel testing labora
tory, and the heating and ventilating
apparatus. Work will be carried on
in all the laboratories on the first floor.
These include the forge shop, machine
shop, foundry, power laboratory and
hydraulics laboratory. In the foundry
the molten metal will be poured. The
equipment in the power laboratory is
very complete and includes steam on
gines of many kinds, gas engines, oil
engines, turbines, a ten-ton ice ma
chine, testing machines and auxiliary
apparatus.
The electrical exhibit will be in the
electrical engineering building. This
exhibit is unusually attractive. Motors,
generators, transformers, converters,
telephonic apparatus, lights, and other
electrical apparatus will be shown.
Several exhibits will be shown In
the Mechanic Arts building. The ma
terials testing laboratory will show to
the visitor the methods used in deter
mining the strength of materials.
Wearing qualities and the durability of
road materials will be tested in the
road materials laboratory. The civil
engineering exhibition will be shown
in this building and also the work In
grlcultural engineering. The draw
ing rooms will have very complete ex
hibits of the work done there.
In order to qualify for a place in the
pageant this year Professor Scott says
that aspirants must show ability as
"movie" actors.
A pageant is really a movie in col
ors, embellished with harmonious
music and dancing. The acting, group
ing and dancing must be good hence
Professor Scott's dictum.
The pageant last year was one of
the biggest things done in the country
and created enthusiastic and wide
spread attention.
This year the affair is to be even
greater. The costuming is unusually
elaborate and gorgeous the music is
excellent the interesting and novel
theme offers opportunity for excellent
acting and the dances range from the
beautiful to the grotesque.
Those who claim to know say, "Last
year the pageant created state-wide
enthusiasm, but wait until this one is
over."
Moving picture companies are al
ready bidding for rights to make the
film, so the second pageant promises,
not only unusual local success, but a
wide-spread showing of "our show
elsewhere.
Professor Scott says he can use peo
pie of all kinds, singers, dancers and
actors. He has asked that in order
to give every one a chance The Ne
braskan announce that he will meet
all who desire to take part, at the
Temple, Wednesday evening, at 7:30.
Men and girls who can sing, men
and girls who can dance, men and girls
who can act, whether students or not,
all may be used.
ENGINEERS' SMOKER
The engineers' smoker will be held
on Wednesday evening, April 19. The
place will be announced later. The
committee is selling blue pennants to
cover the cost. Every engineering stu
dent should remember this date and
be sure to be there.

ENGINEERS' CONVOCATION
Did you ever go to a convocation?
Did you ever go to an engineers' con
vocation? Do you know that there is
such a thing? Well there Is and most
emphatically so.
It has been the custom to have the
convocation during the engineers'
week turned over to the engineers
themselves. This year Mr. Rippey,
one of our own graduates, has been
secured to give one of the best things
that has come to the engineers for
some time. Mr. Rippey spent some
time in active engineering work' in
Spain and gained a wide working
knowledge of his profession. At the
present time he is engaged in superin
tending the work on some of the new
building-r on the campus.
The building program entered upon
by the university is being carried on
in part by the erection on the city
campus of the Chemistry building and
the Botany and Zoology building,
known as Bessey Hall, and at the farm
campus of the Dairy Industry building,
Agricultural Engineering building,
Horse barn, and heating plant.
The new buildings at the city cam
pus are being erected on the new
ground. The style of architecture de
cided upon is the classic type. The
material will be red grick with Bed
ford stone trimmings. The buildings
are to be of the steel frame and wall
bearing type. In general the roofs
will be flat and similar to the present
Law building.
Bessey Hall which is to be three
stories and basement, and 238 by 76
feet in plan, is progressing at a satis
factory rate. It Is hoped that it will
be absolutely complete before 1.917.
The Chemistry building which is
also three stories and basement is 175
by 95i feet in plan. This building will
also be completed before the end of
the present year.
The new buildings at the farm
campus will be similar in design to
those already erected and will have
the same color of facing brick. The
buildings will also be of the steel
frame and well bearing type.
The Dairy Industry building which
is now in the process of erection,
when completed will be one of the
best unit dairy plants in the United
States. The erection is progressing
rapidly and unless something unfor
seen happens, will be ready for occu
pancy before the first semester. This
building is three stories and basement,
and is 140 by 64 feet in plan. The
Dairy department hopes to be ready
for their first formal opening day Sep
tember first.
The horse barn and heating plant are
entirely complete. The horse barn is
modern in every way, and the much
needed space was quickly taken up.
The boilers for the heating plant will
be Installed this summer and the sys
tem will be In operation the first
semester.
