nheftrtmtorv Is Too Small to
Shelter Telescope
Wanted! Half a million dollars!
That's all the University needs to
build an observatory large enough
for its telescope. The observatory at
present is large enough to house a tel
escope only four inches in diameter
and five feet in length. But over in
the basement of the Engineering
Building there is packed away a
telescope twelve inches in diameter
and seven feet in length large
enough to do. work of some moment.
The observatory cannot be on the
top of any building, because of the
tremors , but must be a low building,
on a hill if possible.
The observatory is now located on
Tenth and R Streets a low,' vine
covered building where about forty
students are taking work in astron
omy. There hie two courses offered;
a one hour course which includes gen
eral information about the heavenly
bodies, and a three hour course of
more advanced work. It is a popular
notion that higher mathematics is
needed for astronomy, but it is
scarcely used in the earlier courses.
!n addition, to the classes, the obser
vatory is open to the general public
on one evening of each month, when
a lecture with lantern elides is given,

The new Delta Delta Delta soror

attorney, who drew up the agree

scribes the statute which is being in

adoption, under which this procedure
comes, thus: - -
"The legislature of 1923 passed an
act whereby the regents may agree
with donors of property to pay them
interest at a rate not to exceed five
and one-half percent of its value,
from the income on the property,
and issue debentures for the pay

The first year for the University
Coliseum, the latest addition to the
city campus of the University of
Nebraska, appears to be a prosperous
one, according to the dates which
have been scheduled for the struc
ture through the winter season of
1926-1927. The coliseum was built
to serve the community and state as
well as the University, and has many
features which make it adaptable lor
use by the public.
Most of the dates this fall will
be taken for University activities.
Three varsity mixers have been
scheduled for September 25, Octo

"This dance will be the first of its

campus and should be attended by
- the entire student body." Miss Hep-
pner continued. "It will be exclu-

the students a chance to become bet
ter acquainted and further Nebraska
spirit in social activities."
"This dance is the turning point in
the social regime at the University of
Nebraska, and will decide whether or
not these affairs can be carried on
successfully. They have been made
very important at most of the Valley
schools and there is every reason to
believe that Nebraska, with such a
place to stage them, will make these
events of great importance."
Organizations having parties sched

quested, by the committee, at Miss
Heppner's suggestion, to postpone
their parties if it is possible.

of the stadium have been reserved
for the students. This includes the
first twenty-seven rows in five sec
tions, extending from the north fif

Sales Campaign Continues
The sales campaign will be con
tinued at the athletic office in the
Coliseum until the five reserved sec
tions are sold. Students should se
cure their tickets as soon as pos

the reserved block has already been
taken.
Although the student ticket is
costing one dollar more than last
season, the two games, including the
freshman bout, added to the home
schedule and a reserved seat for the
basketball season makes the present
season ticket a bigger value than
that of the previous years.

Handicapped by a muddy field, the

polishing up their aerial attack.
With only one week of practice under

have watched him in the early scrim-
maees. Cliff Ashburn, 190-pound

Official Insignia of Colleges in
Missouri Valley Conference
Being Placed on Stadium
Reproductions of the official seals
of every school in the Missouri Val
ley Conference are being placed on
the stadium this week. All seals
will be in their place for the open
ing game of the season, October 2
with Drake.
Nebraska seals alternate those of
the nine other Valley schools. There
are eighteen Nebraska seals and two
seals of each of the other Valley
schools, all of the same size. In ad
dition two larger Nebraska seals will
be placed in the two square holes
above the east entrance to the sta
dium. One seal of each Valley
school will be placed on each of the
east and west sides.
The seals have been treated with
a penetrating die of a copper color,
giving them much the appearance of
an immense penny. Each seal ir
four feet in height.
The seals were ordered months
ago, but were finished late this sum
mer. When in place they will lorm
the fininshing touch to the stands now
in place. Nothing further remains
to be done on the stadium until
the two ends are built.

The Carnival this year will be
staged November 13 in the new

hall and other new facilities the
Carnival this year is expected to
be the greatest in its six years on

STUDENTS HAYE
CHANCE TO AID
Florida Hurricane Sufferers
Receive Help From Benefit
Theater Program
to
Students of the University of Neb
raska will have an opportunity to join
in the relief work being carried on
for the victims of the Florida hurri
cane by attending a special "relief"
program that will be presented at the
Lincoln Theater at 11:30 Friday
night All the acts, orchestras, and
other amusements from the Liberty,
Lincoln, Lyric and Orpheum theaters
will appear on the largest bill ever
offered in Lincoln. The admission
will be fifty cents.
All of the proceeds will go directly
to the aid of the Florida sufferers,
as all the expenses of the perfor
mance are being donated. Every
thing, the lights, ushers, musicians,
actors, and the publicity, are free
and will detract nothing from the
proceeds.
Theaters throughout the country
are uniting in the work of relieving
the injured and homeless left by the
terrific storm that devasted the towns
in southern Florida. Lincoln has
responded generously to the call for
help and nothing has been left un
done that will make the perfarmance
well worth the time and money of
everyone. The entire affair is under
the auspices of the American Red
Cross, with the Lincoln Chamber of
Commerce donating the publicity,
and many individuals are giving of
their time and talent.
The doors of the Lincoln theater
will open at 11:15 Friday night and
the program will get under way
promptly at 11:30.
Y. H. C. A. BUDGET
PRESENTED BOARD
Tentative Draft of Annual State
ment Is Made Public At
Meeting Wednesday
The tentative Y. M. C. A. budget
for the year 1926-27 was presented
to the advisory board of that organi
zation at its first meeting Wednes
day noon in the Temple. This bud
get, when passed by the board will
be submitted to the community chest
of the city.
It was read before the group by
C D. Hayes, the new general secre
tary, who also outlined some of his
ideas for work which the "Y" might
do this year.
John Allison, president of the cab
inet, spoke briefly upon his work
which the new cabinet was entering
and expressed his feeling of confi
dence in the cabinet.
Professor J. O. Rankin, member
f o the board, expressed the wish that
the "Y" could be reorganized on the
College of Agriculture campus with
a closer bond with the organization
on the city campus. He said that the
students in the college were heartily
in favor of the move and would sup
port any plans for a new Y. M. C. A.
on the farm campus.
Freshman Enrollm
Agriculture is
The enrollment of freshmen in the
College of Agriculture has practically
doubled this fall. Last year there
were fifty-two freshman women and
forty-seven freshman men. This fall
seventy-eight freshman women and
one hundred three ireshman men
have registered, and there will un
doubtedly be many late registrations.
It is believed that the erand total
enrollment in the college will show
at least a fifty-two percent increase
over last year. This is considered a
remarkable record by those in charge,
s'nee it comes at a time when crops are
not at their best a"nd when enrollment
in tha Univeisity is not showing a
great increase. Last year the total

Identity of Honorary Colonel
To Be Kept Secret j Ask
Cheaper Orchestras
COMMITTEE REPORT READ
Will Petition Dean To Grant
Day of Recess After
Thanksgiving
Keeping secret the identity of the
Honorary Colonel until the night of
the Military Ball, strict enforcement
of the election laws, an attempt to
reduce the price of dance orchestras
playing at University functions, and
a petition that school be dismissed
on the Friday following Thanksgiv
ing were matters upon which the
Student Council acted at their first
meeting thU year held in Room 204,
Temple Building, Wednesday at five
o'clock.
A committee was appointed to
look into conditions governing the
prices of dance orchestras. Com
plaint came to the council from sev
eral social organizations who are
finding it impossible to give down
town parties due to the excessive
charges being made by popular dance
orchestras.
Petition To Dean
Suggestion was made that a peti
tion be presented to the Executive
Dean requesting the dismissal of
school on the Friday followir;g
Thanksgiving. No definite arrange
ments were made concerning this
but the question will be brought up
at the next meeting of the Council.
Last year the identity of the Hon
orary Colonel was disclosed at the
close of the election, the Council'
voted to allow but two members to
know the result of the selection this
year until the evening of the Mili
tary Ball.
A faculty member will be asked ta
meet with the Council as soon as
the selection of the member can lie
made, probably at the next meeting.
A committee was appointed to de
vise some means of financial suppoit
for the activities of the Council. Re
quest will be made to the Varsity
dance committee, . who at present
have representatives on the Council.
Examine Other Councils
Members of the committee on the
constitution appointed last spring re
ported that they had examined other
university council constitutions and
found them to be no more complete
than the one at the University of
Nebraska. The laws stated in this
constitution, however, according to
the vote, will be rigidly enforced,
particularly those dealing with the
elections.
Resolution was made that the Stu
dent Council would to the best of its
knowledge act as a medium between
student and faculty, and would
strive to make itself a worthwhile
organization. Request is made that
all students and student organiza
tions may feel at liberty to bring
campus problems to the Council and
they will be given every considera
