PLAN DORMITORIES FOR MINNESOTA UNIVERSITIY (Minnesota Daily) Announcing their intention of pro moting an extensive scheme of dor mitories on the campus, the Board of Regents, in session yesterday, took first steps toward the realization of that plan when they authorized the expenditure of $10,000 to equip and prepare for occupancy by next fall the four frame structures on University and eighteenth avenues belonging to the University. Already through the efforts of Mrs. Mary Staples, head of the housing bu reau, a number cf men have signed up for rooms in Minnesota's first "dorms." Mrs. Staples and other University authorities for some time have been agitating the proposition of turning the four building which were recently purchased, together with oth er property, for $35,000, into dormi tories. Minnesota's First Experiment Yesterday's action of the Regents capped their efforts and Minnesota's first experiment in a University owned home for students is due to become a reality. It is estimated that the houses will accommodate 40 students and the cost per student will be $10 a month less than the usual charge in private (Continued on Page 4) LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1022. Nebraska's Traditional Iron Fence Being Moved Away From Campus The eld iron fence is gone! No longer will the original campus of the University of Nebraska be sur rounded by the black pickets. For the old landmark is being torn down and the enlarged campus is to bo freed from the fence which divided the old from the new which exclud ed Social Science Building, Chemistry Hall, and Bessoy Hall and the col leges are to be a University. Yes, the fence is gone! The old "grad" who comes for the Round up will find the campus changed. The old metal fence, which kept out the roaming cattle and kept in the rest less students, will no longer be in evi dence. Instead, the mere skeleton unless the job is hurried more than must government projects of the fence, its supporting posts, will re mind the former student of his school days. The iron barrier was erected seme thirty years ago by. an Atchison, Kan sas, firm, at a cost of $6,S00, and the vertical spikes are now being carted, horizontally, to the Agricultural Col lege campus. E. E. Church, Chief Engineer of the University, says no ATSiMPiT" B00KE0J0B FRIDAY Final Affair of Year Promises to be One of Best Parties Yet One of the peppiest parties of the semester will be given at the Armory this coming Friday night. The com mittee has been working hard to make this affair one that every student in the University can attend and enjoy. The dance is not under the auspices of the University Mixer Committee but will be conducted along the same lines. Xcrthwall's orchestra will furnish the music. Northwall has made a reputation for himself at the Mixers held at the Armory and so will be sure to please the crowd at the All College party. The floor at the Armory is good and attention is being given to see that it is in the best f condition. Checking facilties are being arranged so that no delay will be encountered there. Refreshments will be served. The admission price is very low, only 35 cents. Considering the high type of( party and the low admission price, this ought to be an attraction to a good many University students. This type of party has always met with the approval of everyone who has in cny way attended or been con nected with them. They are the best medium through which students can get acquainted with each other. TEACHERS COLLEGE TO HOLD CONVOCATION A special convocation of Teachers College students is called for next Friday, May 12th. Dean Sealock has ordered all classes, in Teachers Col lege to be dismissed from ten until twelve Friday in order that the stu dents may attend this convocation. Chancellor Avery will be there to in troduce the speaker, Superintendent Waterhouse of Fremont. Superinten dent Waterhouse will sueak on the subject of "What the Superintendent expects of the University students when they go out as teachers." The following clubs will be organ ized in the Teachers College: The Secondary Educational Club, the Ele mentary Educational Club and a Sup erintendents and Principals club. There is already a Primary and Kind ergarten teachers club organized. The objec t of these clubs will be to get ac quainted with those interested in each particular line of work and to discuss the problems and incidents in their particular fields. Mr. Lanz and Miss Wilson are the members of the Teach ers College faculty in charge of these organizations. SENIOR ADVISORY BOARD HOLDS ANNUAL BREAKFAST Everybody is invited to the Senior Advisory Bor.rd breakfast ct Ellen Smith Hall on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. The party is given for the Big and Little Sisters but any uni versity student who brings her thirty cents is welcome. At this breakfast, the Installation of the Senior Advisory board officers for next year will take place. Come out to this May morning bre&kfast and have a good time. one knows what is to finally become of the rails. But they are to bo moved by the order to Church of L. F. Seaton, Operating Superintend ent. Chancellor Avery's office says that the fence is being moved by order of the Lincoln City Council. The Ne braskan is considering hiring a de tective to ferret out the mystery of the destination and the motivation. But no longer can the studes climb tho fence in order to better make out the details of a football game, or to seen the conquering hero return to his native Nebraska haunts. No long er can the graduating Seniors snap each others' pictures with the pickets as background. And, worst of all, the nicotine-using sex can no longer know when it is ab solutely necessary to pause, take the last few precious puffs and throw away the remains of the tobacco friend, the Fag. For the old iron fence is gone no one knows whither or why, but grads, students and faculty alike will how their heads in memory as they leave the unfenced campus. WILSON FOUNDATION DRIVE CLOSES TODAY Nebraska Has Last Chance Today to Put This Campaign Over the Top Students are not responding to the appeal for the Woodrow Wilson Foun dation fund. It is thought by some students that this is a memorial fund to Wilson. Emphasis Is laid on the fact that this is not a political cam paign. It is a fund to perpetuate peace. Other universities have put across this campaign. Xebraska can do the same. A sum of ten cents from each student would secure the success. By sacrificing a few cigarets or a box of candy students could contribute a little toward this permanent fund for the world's peace. The campaign closes today. This is the last chance to contribute to this worthy cause. Everyone should remember that this is not a political move in any sense. It is an educational move in the cause of world peace. It deserves the support of all interested in educa tion. This fund will be permanent and invested by a board of trustees. Other colleges have contributed large funds. What Nebraska raises will be counted in on Lincoln's quota. Omaha has raised her full amount. Will Lincoln raise hers? Will Xe braska help her? Tomorrow is the chance for stu dents. The campaign among the fac ulty members will be staged Friday and Saturday. Students should re spond as well as the faculty. Will they? Will you? Only ten cents from everyone will put the campaign across. HOME STUDY COURSES FOR FOREIGN LANDS The namo of the University f Kansas and its correspondence school is becoming known even in South America. Each year the terri tory covered widens and this year more foreign countries have been reached than ever before. The Amer ican consul in Chile writes in ack nowledgement of material and infor mation sent him regarding the cor respondence courses available thru the University of Kansas: eu shrdlu "At the present time there is lit tle prospect of advantage being tak en of correspondence courses except in isolated cjases, bpt when once Chilean exchange becomes normal or at leat considerably better., so that the present depression is relieved, in quiries for correspondence courses will revive.' Although these courses are known in other states and in foreign coun tries there are still resident students on the campus who do not know of the advantages and possibilities which this department holds out to them. If a student has been out of school or his class standing has, for any reason, become irregular, he is unable to attend the summer session, he can earn the few hours he needs thru correspondence study while at home. The failures incited in resid (Contlnued on Page Four.) COMMERCIAIL CLUB TO HOLD FINAL BANQUET It is only a day off. Wh.-.t is? Why the Commercial Club banquet. Don't you remember, tomorrow night, May 12, at 6:15. This is the mi-h tier day for the Commercial Club and a bin time is expected. All other banquets have been successes and the club ex pects this one to live ui to the tradi tion.

So keep this date in mind and make your plans ac cordingly. If everyone pets the old spirit, tho plans can't help but be a howling success. (let your tickets right away.

CLASS '21 j 10 H0L0A REUNION1 Last Year Graduates of Lincoln High to Celebrate On May i 29 With Banquet i In celebration of the first anniver- i sary of graduation from the Lincoln ' high school, the members of the class ' of 1921 of that school will hold a re union at the high school cafeteria on May 29. A banquet with a dance foh lowing will be given. j Reunions of the Lincoln Irish school j classes have become popular in the last few years. This year more i classes have held get tocethers than ever before and the class of 1921 plans to start off its alumni career right by holding reunions every year. ! Tickets for the reunion are on sale ! by a committee of members of the class and may be secured from them. George Hargreaves, president of the class, has tickets for sale, as have Otto E.

NEBRASKA STUDENTS RANK HIGH IN ESSAYS Word has been received at the Col lege of Agriculture that two students have qualified among the five high est in the Alpha Gamma Rho essay contest. Ray burn W. Samson was given thr.ll place f-'id Frank Cyr fourth place. The contest was open to all students in the agricultural col leges of the country, who were asked to write on "The Need and Sources of Agricultural Leaders." The letter from Prof. H. F. Wilson of the University of Wisconsin does not state the names of the men who were awarded the two high places in the contest, for which prizes of $100 and $50 were offered. The best three papers are to be printed in the frater nity magazine. Virgil Michael, a freshman in the College of Agriculture, has had an article accepted for publication by the Scientific American. The article deals with the testing of farm impleineir s now beins carried on at the Agricul tural college and was one submitted to meet fiio requirements for credit in the curse in Agricultural Journal ism. It is considered quite an honor for anyone to have an article accepted by the Scientific American, which is probably the leading publication of its kind in the United States. For the most part it has always confined its list of contributors to those who eitehr well known as scientists or as writers on scientific subjects. Those who took the course in Agri cultural Journalism are now on the final lap of the course, which con sists in the marketing of their manu htied manuscript is emphasized jus scripts. The actual selling of the fin as much as its preparation, an impar tial test of each student's work being whether an editor will pay real money for it. It has been found that stu dents take more real interest in writ ing when they feel it must be good enough to sell. SEWARD HIGH BAND WILL PLAY AT TEMPLE The Seward High School band will play at a special convocation to be held at the Temple theater Thursday at 11 o'clock. William Larsen, who took his bachelor of fine arts degree in 1920, has charge of the organiza tion. Mr. Larsen has been supervisor of the Seward schools for the past two years and has developed an ex cellent band and orchestra.
