Dales Tells of Time When Classes' Were Called by 'U' Hall Bell It would seem slightly Incon gruous today to have the College of Agriculture and ths College or Aria and Sciences occupying the Bine building but there li one man, iw.i.iinr a Master's degree iroiu thn University, who can remember when thai was the case, it is j. o. Onles, corporation secretary to the Hoard of Regeuts, and the first per son to receive a degree from the University. Not only did they hare the above named colleges In 'V hall but alao the department of physics, the de partment of botany, tne aeparc ment of geology, etc. The original college wai known ns the College of . Literature, Science and the Arts. In the fol lowing year after the founding of tl,e l ii!vcrslt, the College of Agri culture was founded. The class rooms for the agriculture course were in the main part of building and the laboratories In the base ment. U' Hall Built in 1870 University hall was built in 1870. a three-story Btructure with a man sard root and a tower which tow oin Easter and I-owe In an at tempt to put the skids under the A regulation infield will be laid out on the Coliseum floor the lat- Ames sprinters. Ralgans took thetfr part of tht week for the ac commodation of the varsity base ball candidates. The laying out of this Infield will allow pitchers, catchers and Infleldprs to get some practice before they begin outside about. April 1. About sixty men are working out dally from 2 to 4 o'clock under the. direction of 'Choppy' Rhodes. Bunting practice and easy throw ing are the limit of the activities for the present time. Pitchers and catchers are working together and getting the kinks out of their arms. A din mound, 6 by 9. is to be placed on the floor for the pitchers. Batla Get Away Two balls got loose from the ln flelders on Monday afternoon and broke two of the windows in the doors at the south entrance or the building. Tuesday afternoon a heavy canvas curtain w as stretched across in front of the doors to pre vent any more such damage. The fact that a man may letter in only one current sport may limit the candidates for baseball. The rule was passed in 1925, the last year Nebraska had baseball, which nrevented men from leuermg in both track and baseball. It Is a queer incident that the last man to letter in both sports, "Choppy" Rhodes. Is now the coach of the baseball team. measure of Fleming In the low hur dles with a time of 7.8 second and bested Thompson and Arganbright la tbe high hurdle event and will probably be the third Husker entry In these races. Coach Remains Silent Young and Kenagy Jumped for honors In the broad Jump with Kcpsgy making the best leap for a dlstanc of 20 feet 10 Inches. Coarh Schulte has not made any definite announcement as to who will represent the Scarlet and Cream this week end but the per sonnel will no doubt be practically the same as those opposing the Kansas Aggies. Maya led Nestor and Ritcher to the tape in a special quarter mile event to determine who will be the fourth member of the mile relay quartet with Campbell, Krause, and Wyatt Maya time was 63.2 second a. The Amea-Husker affair prom les to be a thrilling meet as both teams have displayed quite a bit of strength In early season at tempts. Bob Simpson, holder of the Missouri Valley hurdle records, is coach of the lowans and has as sembled quite an array of talent for the Iowa State school's first soasoa in the Big Six.

Six hot air furnaces fuiniBhed the heat for the old University hall. These furnaces proved to be Inade quate to heat the rooms on the top oi the building. Two of these rooms were plastered and one of them was used for Janitor quarter. After the steam heat was put Into the building these rooms could be heated properly. II was also found Impossible to put the tower to much practical use. They couldn't put a bell In It because the wo"en walla weren't strong enough. Neither waa there a way to ring tbe bell from down stairs. However, they did have a bell. At first the bell waa put on the north wing of the building but the wall weren't strong enough there either so they brought It around to the front. ' Occupied Building 31 Yeart Judge Dales occupied the build ing from the time he was made corporation secretary In 1875 un 'II 1906 when the Administration building was built. - Due to faulty material used In the construction of the foundation of the building It waa found neces sary to take some hasty action to get repairs in 1S77. The city of Lincoln came to the aid of the university officials and saved their only buildings by appropriating $4,000. The money waa appropriated by the city council at the behest of the cltitens of the community. About eighty citizens of Lincoln signed a document guaranteeing the members of the city council Im munity from impeachment. The money was meant merely as a loan to the state but according to the records It has never been re funded to the city of Lincoln. Fol lowing Is an exerpt of (he speech or II. W. Hardy, ex-mayor of the city of Lincoln In an address to the State Historical Bociety on January 8, 1901: "During the summer or 1877 the foundation walls of the first uni versity building, built or rotten brown atone, began to crumble, and the building was condemned as un safe. Your humble servant put hta band Into the city treasury without law and transferred to the univer sity foundation fund $4,000, and the building was made safe. The money has never been returned to tbe city by the state. Impeachment medi cine was not administered." fclevtion of Tuaaela Officers Is Schetluled Thore will be an Important meeting of the Tassel Thurs day evenlnrt at 7 o'clock, at Fl len Smith hall.

His mission was Charter day material and Mies Conklin's thirty-seven years at Nebraska was bound to furnish some interesting observations. "I entered Nebraska in 1892. when the enrollment was about 1.000 students," she ruminated for a preliminary statement. Then the curtain went up revealing a wealth of interesting experiences and ob servations since that year. Recall Old 'IT Hall "At that time." continued Miss Conklin. "tie German and French departments were combined and both were taught in University halV. My office was on the third floor, room S02. and I taught both French and German." She left her desk and selected one, from a com plete roster of class schedules kept since 1892. "Let me see, my first class was a first year German class, be tween 8:30 and 10:30 o'clock I had a class of sixty-nine students." She glanced at the role. "It included many men and women who are now famous. For instance, here is Just one name, Irving S. Cutter." . Dean Cutter of Northwestern university Is only one of many men whom Miss Conklin has seen leave Nebraska to attain position and success la the world. Tells of Former Classes "My second section In German had an enrollment of fifty-seven, and third had forty-six students. My first French class was small with twenty-three students. We marked the grades alphabetically instead of by numbers In those Uya," she added. Am old time card, yellow and dog-eared with age was found within the pages of the schedule and Miss Conklin paused to glance down -iu columns, a meager ap proach to the faculty directory and Class scheduler that exist today. "Oh. Tbe outstanding people listed here, there is Dr. Lloyd, who introduced sugar beets into Ne braska, and Dean Edrrvn. who was ' Bce head of the department of modera laafruares and a nationally famed HnguisL There are too many icers w mention," Places In Chares in 1901 Ti 1501 Mis. Conklin was placed - in i . .r.rri of tbe department of ro ri. ' ls-ncusites. "There were i 'u Jems in tu dfipartcent then. Last fall we had 1700. Tn the fall of 1917 the,re were 971 students enrolled in the romance languages, German being at that, time included in another department. "During the war, when Social Sciences was finished but unused for classes, that building was used to house the soldier boys quar tered in Lincoln. In 1918 there were 411 S. A. T. C. boys enrolled in our department of romance lan guages, which consisted of French, Spanish and Italian "Our peak year was in 1925 and 1926 with an enrollment of 2020 students in this department." Miss Conklin was amused at the reporter's note of the mention of tke old iron fence enclosing the campus. "The gates were locked at night and opened at seven every morn ing," she explained. ''And do you know where the (wo gates that were formerly at the end of this walk are?" Relates Fate of Old Fence The reporter's background faded. "Just notice the two bulletin boards as you leave tbe east en trance of Ihe building. Nottce the emblems at the top. Those were Ihe gates and the emblems were made under the guidance of Pro fessor Richards, now dean of Le high university. The fence was taken down because of the fire commission's orders. It w-as not long after that University hall was condemned. "One morning when we came to school, the door was locked and an order tacked on the door was the explanation. For almost a whole semester, the department met in thirteen different buildings whil.--" here she smiled and ventured. "University hall was shorn of its two top stories. The same year we also received the bobbed hair." "The University has grown and prospered, sending many men, des tined to fame, into life. It has been my privilege to know many of th m." Miss Conklin has always enjoyed her work, especially French. She concluded that her work at Ne braska has been of the most in teresting kind, and because of this, she always enjoyed her last class as much as her first one, feeling that enthusiasm in tbe language was spread in that manner. In Ihe meeting at New York this week the National Rulr-e commit- I le on collegiate football added on another rule that will greatly ef fect the gridiron game next fall. Last season sport scribes were sat isfied that the rules committee had done just about all thfy could to perfect the game, but along comes another ruling-j-a product of the 129 meeting that will play an im portant role in the 1929 season. Since the sensational backward run of Roy Reigele tor seventy yards in the Tournament of Roses classic at Pasadena on New Year's day, members of the rules commit tee have considered the fumble idea and the meeting in the east this week was the culmination of that consideration. We are not predicting what the new ruling will do to the collegiate game but it is quite evident that if the rules continue in the trend they are taking, that football in the course of a few years will have lost all tbe sensational thrill it held for the crowd. The new nil iug provides lhat a fumbled ball is dead on recovery. It also states Classified Ads DKalfcSMAKl.MJ ana aitarnif at reaaon ahl priof . lafto S mnft.

It seems the object of the committee on making the rule mov ing the ball up a yard on tbe try for point, had this idea solely in mind. It may, and It may not, in duce teams to try for the point by other means than kicking. A rule Is. a rule and lhat'a the end of It, but a football rule is never a good rule until it Is tried out on the gridiron, so we will patiently wait until the opening whistle of the 1929 grid season and see what benefit the rules committee has added to the game. Having scored a clean sweep of victories last week, the University or Nebraska athletic teams will attempt another invasion this week when three athletic teams will s wins into action representing the Cornhusker school. To repeat the event or last week would be a recoid ror any school to boast. This week Coach Charley Black takes his Scarlet cagers on the last road jaunt of the 1929 basketball seasoc when the Huskers go to Ames and Des Moines for a con ference game with the Iowa State Cyclones on Friday and a non-conference game with the Drake Bull dogs at Des Moines on Saturday. The Husker track team will like wise meet the Iowa Cyclones in an indoor dual meet ou the Me morial stadium track. Coach Bob Simpson has one of the most formidable arrays of track stars In the Big Six and Coach Henry "In dian" schulte, Husker track oieuiur evpects a close meet with the Iowa team. The third event is the windup of the wrestling season with the Husker mat squad enter taining the Oklahoma Soonera in a Big Six meet. To the winner goes second place in the conference, Iowa State having cinched the ace position in the Big Six. Coach Johnny Kellogp is look ing forward to a hard battle with the Sooner gTiipph-M and hopes to repeat the victory gained over Kan sas last week. The Oklahoma team has only been defeated by Iowa State in the conference and lost a close match to the crack Sooner Aggies of Stillwater, one of tbe strongest wrestling teams In the country. The outlook for a clean sweep is not as bright as it was last week, but the Husker athletic teams are favored in the majority of the events. In basketball. Coach Black's scarlet-clad basketeers should turn in a double win on their Iowa invasion. The Staters at Ames should prove a hard foe with the Nebraskans favored to win. At Di-ake, Nebraska should repeat the j victory of last week over the Bull- dogs, in wrestling, "Old Man Dope" is not taking part., but the meet 1 ' a toss-up. Nebraska has proved to possess some of tbe strongest ; point-getters in the conference, ; consisting of Ecklund. Siroic. Pet erson and Kish. The Oklahoma meet should be a thriller. In track. t the material coming down from ' THE WINNER The basketball tournament is swinging along at a merry old pace, and many are the dimpled knees pink with "niercurochrome" which all goes to prove that the bigger they are the harder they "faw down and go boom." The round-robin schedule will be fin ished by the end of the week. Tho we can't be official, a prominent Sigma Chi Is quoted as saying that Delta Gamma has a 4 to 1 chance to come out the winner, because both the Kappas and the Pi Ph'.n had parties last week-end. But then that may have only helped to keep them in training. "Merrily we bowl along, bow l along Merrily we bowl along. All the live lond day." We think that is what they call paraphrasing but whatever it is, it's darn good. Anyway the point is that the qualifying rounds for the Intramural bowling tournament will be held February 18 to 25, at the Y. M. C. A. The tournament will begin the 26th. Come out, women! Learn to get a deadly aim with the cocoanuts, and you'll not regret it! No more walking home!
