POUR CONCRETE TODAY
Thousand May Watch Big
Six Contests During
Coming Season.
Nebraska's long-awaited swim
ming pool, now under construction
under the stage of the Coliseum,
will be ready for use about Nov. 1,
Swimming Mentor Rudy Vogeler
stated yesterday.
"The pool will be one of the. best
of its kind in this section of the
country, and a thousand spectators
will be able to view Big Six nata
tors do battle for swimmir- hon
ors. The Nebraska tank, which is
to be 35 by 75 feet and 10 feet deep
In the deep end, will have two low
diving boards and one high one.
It is exceeded in size and excel
lence only by the pool at Iowa
State, which is the second largest
Indoor pool in the country.
Subject of much spirited con
troversy last year, it is thought
that the pool will be a haven for
Cornhusker students, to whose use
the pool will be open at all free
periods when there ar no classes
or when the Varsity squad is not
working out.
For Both Men and Women.
Both women and men students
will have the use of the pool. A
separate locker and shower room
Is being built for women students
in the northeast corner of the
coliseum basement. Men students
will use the locker room now used
for basketball, handball and other
Indoor activities.
Construction work has pro-
gressed to the building of the
forms preparatory to pouring the
concrete, it is nopea me siae
walls will be ready to pour some
time today after the awaitea xn
tration plant fittings have been In
stalled. The foor will then be regraded

Pnliaical seas at this institution are resting in a complete

year. Quite obvious is the course of the Blue Shirt stiff which
sailed easily into three

ports. With their holds full of

ers, with Skippers Wally Frank

traded their wares for no less than
eight class presidencies, three pub
lication board offices, and a full
slate of student councilors.
Somewhere in the Blue Shirt
wake struggled the Yellow Jacket
yacht, buffeted By cnance miiows,
deserted by a sister yacht of soror

port each time. Neal Gomon, vet

Far out on 'he waves floated
the Barb canoe with Pres. Del

The invisible captain of this bar

FACULTY MEMBER RETURNS
Professor W. I. DeBaufre
Resumes Engineering
College Work.
Prof. William U DeBaufre, for
merly chairman of the department
of mechanical engineering is again
In his old Dosltion. replacing ur,
George R. Chatburne, who left the
furultv this vear.
Since 1927 Professor DeBaufre
has been with the International
Combustion Engineering Corpora
tion of New York, where he served
as technical advisor and head of
the technical research department.
For eight years previous to that
he held the same post he Is now
filling.
He was graduated from Lehigh
University in 1907 with the degree
nt f v... and received his M. E. in
iflon at the same institution. From
1912 he served as mechanical en
gineer at the U. S. Naval Experi
ment station, and in 1919 took his
M. S.
as Blue Shirt
might foreshadow an election
to the intricate maze of politi
crest of an organized wave of
votes.
Sorority Votec Don't Count
Silvery little shoals of sorority
ballots dart into the Temple har
bor at elections where an honorary
position is at stake, but their in
fluence on the outcome of male of
fices may be plainly characterized
as indifferent.
As matters stand the political
pond Is slowly coating over with
a scum that approximates stagna
tion. The Blue Shirts may well
disregard this surface froth for
their steel-plated skiff is quite
water-tight. Meanwhile the barna
cles of party decay nibble merrily
at the Yellow Jacket yarht as it
struggles thru the Jetsam of splint
ered election hopes. As for the
Barb canoe it is drifting aimlessly
on uncharted waters and the birch
bark which covers its frame is
curling under the broiling sun of
disorganization. Little streams of
water are beginning to trickle
thru the seams, imminent of po
litical oblivion.
With the approach of a new
school year the respective party
vessels will take on new captains
and crews and will sail Into sew
political waters, searching for of
fices in the 1931-32 polling ports.
Perhaps rust has accumulated on
the steel-plated Blue Shirt skiff,
perhaps the Yellow Jacket yacht
has installed deisel engines, mayb
the barb canoe has rigged up a set
of sail. I

Instead of the traditional green,
the caps this year will be of scar
let and cream combination. The

ever, any freshmen who were
missed at that time may purchase
a ticket from any member of the
Innocents society between now

of the Interfraternity council,
which organization passed a reso
lution Wednesday night by unani
mous vote endorsing the tradition
and pledging its assistance. All
fraternities therefore will Insist
that their freshmen wear the caps.

ment that will measure up to last
year s. An increase in new stu
dents is counted on to take care
of te drop in number of old stu
dents. One factor that tends to give
credence to the supposition that
there will be fwer students en
rolled th s year was the very rapid
registration that took place last
year.
It is expected that registration
in the college of medicine Friday
and Saturday and registration in
the graduate college early next
week will bring the grand total to
something between six and seven
thousand, the ordinary enrollment
figure.
No new registration figures
were available from Mr. Cunder
son's office last night.
