Cut Monday
FENCE IS CONSTRUCTED
Espect to Remor. OIJ C.np.1 B.ll
From South Sid of Roof in
Few Days
Actunl demolition of University
Hall upper stories will start today
when workmen begin tearing down
the tower. Monday night was the
first time in years the beacon light
on top of the tower was not shining
over the campus. The electrical cir
cuit had been cut Monday.
The (wrecking of the tower is ex
pected to take but a few days. The
next part to be torn down will be
the east wing roof and attic. A board
protecting fence was put up around
the building yesterday.
Temporary classroom schedules
were put into something f a perma
nent workable form yesterday. The
master bulletin board will be found
on the eeast side of the University
Hall on the wooden fence.
Many of the books and records of
faculty members on the first floor
and in the basement have not been
moved because these floors will be
little effected by the wrecking oper
ations and building of the flat roof.
These rooms are locked up, and pre
cautions have been taken to safe
guard the contents against dust and
debris.
Campus Bell To Bo Kept
The old campus bell resting on the
south side of the roof will be removed
in a few days. A special wooden cage
will be constructed to house it, and
it will be kept as an historical relic,
Operating Superintendent Seaton
said yesterday.
Favorable weather will permit the
rapid wrecking of the outside parts,
thus insuring the use of the ground
sUries after the Christmas holidays.
Wallpaper stripped off in some of
the rooms on the third floor revealed
seven distinct stages in the interior
decorating of the walls. There were
probably more. Dark colors pre
dominated. First was the original
plaster, which was painted red and
brown as shown by the faded parts
where subsequent wallpaper was pull
ed cff.
The first wallpaper attached di
rectly to the plaster seems to have
been a drak blue-green. Not much
of it could be seen at any one place
because the next coating of paper
was applied with very durable paste
which held the two closely together
throughout.
Gren-brown faded leaf designs
were brought to light in the third
layer, followed by what must have
been a solid green paper as the
fourth layer.
A lighter and more cheerful color
design was selected for the fifth coat
ing which shows up now as well as a
yellow-pink flower design. The next
to tiie last layer was a brown-tan
Ppcr, similar to the kind now on the
walls.

STUDIO MAKING RADIO TESTS
Experimental Readings Are Being
Given Every Tuesday Night
The University studio is making
tests in giving readinsrs over the
radio every Tuesday night. Miss
Howell give readings a week ago, and
Ray Ramsay read last night. The
purpose of these tests is to find the
type of readings which are preferred
by the public, whether or not the ex
pression can bo heard over the radio,
and how far it can be heard. If the
experiment proves successful, read
ings will be given by members of the
dramatic department on University
night, which is every Tuesday night.
Later in the season, radio plays may
be attempted.
Students are always welcome to the
University studio, which is on the see

MISS DRAKE TALKS
AT VESPER SERYICE
Y. W. C. A. Secretary Speaks on the
Necessity of Missionary Work
In South America
"It takes a certain amount of spirit
to be a pioneer," said Miss Frances
Drake, who spoke at Vespers Tues
day evening on her. missionary work
in China where she explained that 'a
woman missionary in South America
is a real pioneer. Miss Drake is the
general secretary of the Y. W. C. A.
in Lincoln and has spent five years as
a Y. W. C. A. secretary in Monte
video, Uraguay, South America. The
leader of the Vesper services was
Rose Faytinger. A special vocal
number was given by Pearl Miller.
Miss Drake explained how many
of the students in the University of
Nebraska are descendants of pioneers
and how therefore Nebraskans
have pioneering blood in their veins
and the need of true pioneers in the
missionary fields in South America.
Speaks of Grace Coppock
"As I have been sitting here I
have been thinking of other girls who
have attended this university and es
pecially of Grace Coppock, who was
so much of a pioneer that she could
build the first Y. W. C. A. in China
and develop the first pioneering spirit
among the women of China," Miss
Drake said.
"South American cities are more
beautiful than most of American
cities, and most people do not see the
necessity of missionary work in South
America, but the place of women in
society shows what great need there
is. It is not considered proper for
girls to attend high school or colleges
in South America and the girls that
do are attending in defiance of the
custom.
"Being a woman in South Ameri
ca, is mostly an indoor sport, lim
ited in its out-look," is the way a
man in South America characterized
the life of a woman" said Miss Drkea.
"Whether in University of Nebraska
or in after years you are out facing
the problems of the world you have
chances to be pioneers and it is your
responsibility to held other girls in
other lands who are pioneers in their
field of activity," she concluded.

the rhinocerop hoppopotamous and

The hall will be the only one ol its
kind in the world. Although mam
moths liave been found in nearly ev
ery part of the United States, no ef
fort has ben made to collect them
with such thoroughness and in such
numbers as in Nebraska. Although
the fossils, through erosion, have
been exposed in past years, most of
thom were found and gathered up by
eastern scientific expeditions, and it
was not until Nebraska was able to
finance similar expeditions thai it
made its finds of prehistoric ele
phants.

the WILL TO WIN.
Last year Notre Dame defeated Nebraska decisively.
This year they again have an enviable record. The
Notre Dame team is sure that it is going to beat Ne-
Nebraska spirit is a powerful thing. Two years
ago when our team met Notre Dame it was invincible
unconquerable. Walter Eckersall is credited with say
ing that "it was Nebraska's spirit that beat Notre Dame."
Knute Rocktie says, "I can tell whether my team will win
a game or not by the spirit that they show a few days
before the game." We Nebraskans take pride and de
light in the fighting spirit the student body can put into
the team. Can we repeat what Nebraskans did two
vears aro? Nebraska students will rally to the cause
and WE WILL WIN ifiAi UAma vx xt.i.n.ijltl.v-
Let's start that old fight and spirit. Let's sing be
tween classes and keep it up until the night of the rally
and then blow the roof off with our "Will to Win."
If Nebraska students do this we will see another invinc
ible unconquerable team on the field as we did two
years ago. Then we will BEAT NOTRE DAME. Coma
on, let's get started, everyone.

ASK STUDENTS
NOT TO HAZE
Olympic Committee Issues Let
ter to Fraternities Asking
Cooperation
SCHEDULE IS ANNOUNCED
Announcement made by the Inno
cents yesterday of the order of the
events for the Olympics Saturday and
the issuance of an open letter by the
Olympics committee to all fraterni
ties urging the suppression of hazing
brought the annual battle for su
premacy between the freshmen and
sophomores nearer achievement.
When the Olympics w" started
it was agreed by all students tnat no
hazing would be practiced. Occa
sionally the agreement was forgot
ten and small groups violate the spirit
of the Olympics by hazing practice.
The Olympics committee is making
every effort to make the Olympics
the struggle between the classes in
stead of having various unregulated
occurrences which always promote
ill feeling between the two classes.
The fraternities were requested to
be responsible for preventing any of
their members or pledges from taking
part in hazing as the Olympics ap
proach. It has also been arranged
to forfeit the contest if any class is
found guilty of violating the rules
against hazing.
Contests Start at 2 O'clock
Leo Black, chairman of the com
mittee arranging the events for the
Innocents for the Olympics, an
nounced that the contests would be
gin promptly at 2 o'clock in the sta
dium Saturday afternoon. The box
ing and wrestling matches, relay
race, and tug-of-war will be held in
the stadium after which the contest
ants will proceed to the drill field for
the mass games.
The schedule of events is: In the
stadium starting at 2 o'clock:
135 lb. wrestling.
145 lb. wrestling.
158 lb. wrestling.
135 lb. boxing.
145 lb. boxing.
158 lb. boxing.
Tug-of-war.
440 yard relay race. ,
Immediately afterward on the drill
field will follow in the order given
Bull pen.
Shoe rush.
The number of women and their
cheering will be judged throughout
the contests and not at any one par
ticular time. Special judges will have
charge of this innovation and the re
sult will be announced near the close
of the contests.
Sophomores are Confident
Walter Cronk, sophomore presi
dent, is confident that the freshmen
are in for the fiercest Olympic en
counter in years. "The sophomores,"
he says, "are learning from their ex
periences last year will refrain from
any attempts to haze or harass the
freshmen on the eve of the Olympics"
Likewise he warns the freshmen to
put their efforts into the Olympcis
rather than into violating both the
rules and the spirit of the contests
by doing and hazing.
Sophomore stock took a rise when
Coach Bearg announced that the
football men could participate in the
Olympics. Previously it had been
thought that the men out for Varsity
football would be kept out of the con
test to assure them being in shape
for the Notre Dame game Thanks
giving but Coach Bearg's declaration
yesterday assured their participation
along with the other members of the
sophomore , class.

Country School Days Are Recalled
By Name Carved in "U" Hall Tower
When lighting fixtures in the old I
tower of University Hall were taken
out yesterday, one of the electricians
discovered on one of the beams the
engraved name of an old boyhood
friend with whom he went to country
school forty-one years ago. The
electrician is K. F. McMillin of Lin
coln, and the boyhood friend of forty-
one years ago is D. N. Lehmer, a
graduate of the University it Ne
braska in 1893, and now professor of
mathematics at the University of Cal
ifornia.
The name of D. N. Lehmer with the
izt of 1887 stands out plainly on
one of the six by six beams that sup
port the bricK masonry oi wie w'iT.
It vas nunched deep into the wood.
The letters which are two inches
high stand out almost as clear as
they did decades ago, although dust,
water and air have made the wood as
dull and gray as the surrounding part
of the beam.

Includes About 6000 Names
Approximately 6000 names are in
cluded in the main section, with de
tailed information as to college and
year, home town, Lincoln address,
social organization affiliations and
telephone number. These names are
repeated under alphabetical group
ings according to home address.
Sorority, fraternity and literary
society members and pledges are list
ed together alphabetically by groups.
A directory of sorority and fraternity
house addresses precedes this section.
Organization, class, fraternity and
sorority presidents are listed alpha
betically by the name of the organi
zation in its respective field division.
The cover is in scarlet with a block
letter "N" in cream.
Delay was occasioned in issuing the
directory by the impossibility of the
gaining access to a list of the stu
dents early in the semester. Last
year's experience in omission of
names proved the impracticability of
distributing cards in classes from
which lists were to be made.
Checking in every way possible was
effected to insure absolute accuracy.
More than a thousand mistakes were
rectified. It is judged by those who
have inspected it to be the most ac
