Rain the last few days has greatly

covering four square blocks with rail
road tracks winding over it is the out-ofon.Uno-

short three months the site will be
eight feet below the surface of the
ground and on the east and west sides
will be long concrete bleachers, nearly
two blocks in length, nearly a half
block wide, and six stories in height,
as high as the Rudge and Guenzel
company building, as wide as the Mil

Rudge and Guenzel's, and Miller and
Paine's, plus the Terminal and First

rowed, and every month the committee
holds it, a high rate of interest must
be paid, calling for a constant drain
on the stadium resources. It was be
cause of this fact that a large num
ber of tiems were temporarily elim
inated from the Radium. These items
can be added as soon as the money is
available, but they will cann for a full
$200,000 more than that which is rep
resented in the contract as now signed.
The stadium, if completed in every de
tail as originally planned, will cost
in the neighborhood of $600,000.

is able to sponsor many worthwhile
movements. For example in North
western this last year, men's athletics
had fallen down to the bottom of the
list and W. S. G. A. set about to im-
nrnvc them. By public opinion and
enforcement of three closed nights a
week, they were able to help the men
raise athletic standards.
Nebraska is planning to adopt sev
eral new systems already working in
other schools. One of these is the
Pilgrimage for Freshman Girls, a day
when W. S. G. A. takes individual

It was stated that Nebraska was
the only school where program dances
were not held, and straight programs
maintained. This will be a particular
problem of the association next fall-
to break up straight program uancea.
Another serious problem is in get

a special selection.
In her talk, Mrs. Brownell said that
wherever the graduate students go
people will ask "who fetched you up?"
If every girl is a success the glory
of it will reflect on her Alma Mater.
Likewise every failure will mar the
high ideals of that institution. As a
freshman every girl brings to the
university varied high school train
ing, love of parents, and not least a
wardrobe, but graduates should take

high appreciation of parents, memo

The De Molay quartet will sing and
the acrobats from the Y. M. C. A.

"Practical Idealism" is Name of
Movement Started in Holland
"Practical Idealism" the name of a
movement started in Holland, is fa
miliar to all those students who heard
the speeches of the foreign students
who were on the campus of the uni
versity of Nebraska last winter. Now
it is the name of a cult a way of
looking at the- happenings of the
world. The following is a resume of
the conclusion, reached by a discus
sion group, the purpose of which is
the decision as to the practicability
of "Practical Idealism."
Idealism comprises three elements:
1. The will to serve.
2. The will to live a pure and self
controlled life.
3. The will to look for the real in
all things.
The "Practical" part comes in ex
ercising that will.

"Fair and Warmer" is the weather
forecast for Thursday, according to
announcement from G. A. Loveland.
of the Nehraska Meteorology depart
ment. If this is the case, there will
bev a bigger and better senior picnic
than ever in the past, say the mem
bers of the committee which is plan
ning the affair.
Preparations for dinner for four or
five hundred people have been made
by Chancellor and Mrs. Avery, who
will furnish it. The menu is the sort
which is usually expected on such an
occasion, and the members of the com
mittee, to which a report on the re
freshments was made at its meeting
Tuesday afternoon, say that there will
be plenty for all.
Students and faculty are oifering
their cars for transporting the seniors
to the picnic ground. Other under
graduates and faculty who have cars
at their disposal are urged to com
municate with J. Wilbur Wolfe. Ihe
cars will meet at the University
campus at 8:30, and owners and driv
ers are asked in the meantime to no
tify the members of the committee if
they can furnish automobiles.
The seniors will meet in front of
the Administration building at eight
thirty, and the cars will be there to
take them to Crete. Drivers of other
cars are requested by the seniors to
park elsewhere than of R street be
tween Twelfth and Eleventh.
Seniors who attend the picnic are
excused from classes, as are also
members of the lower classes who fur
nish transportation for the members
of the classes. Excuses for the mem-.
bers of the three lower classes who
attend the picnic may be secured
Thursday at Horky's Park from J.
Wilbur Wolfe.
The members of the University
Band will be present as the guests
of the graduating class, and will play
popular selections for the amusement
of the crowd.
Dancing will be provided as a
means of entertainment, and music
will be furnished by a University or
chestra. The floor in the Horky pa
vilion has been prepared for the danc
ing, and those who have made ad
vance trips to Crete say that it is in
good condition.
Trucks have been furnished by the
military department and by other de
partments of the University.' The
band will probably be taken to Crete
in one of the trucks, and it is ex
pected that their music will carry to
all the cars in the procession on the
road.
The members of the committee will
meet at eight o'clock on the east steps
of the Administration building, where
they will receive their committee
badges, and assist in the filling of the
cars, and in starting the seniors off
on their holiday.
The declaration of the principles 0
the Practical Idealists' Association is
as follows:
"Instead of suffering ourselves to be
dragged along by the common cur
rent and to be lamed by custom, we
will try to remain ourselves wher
ever we may be"," and we will ne'Vel
cease striving to live according to the
following ideals:
"We will serve our fellowmen in-4
stead of strugglirg for personal profit
and advancement.
"We will control our physical na- '
tures instead of allowing them to con
trol us.
"We will discriminate between the
inner reality of things and their out
ward appearance.
"We will co-operate with all who
are of like mind in the forming of a
social order insouled by these ideals
and we will not suffer any outward
differences to separate us in this great
!
