OF DECORATIONS
Selleck States $1500 Needed
Before Coliseum Drapes
Completely Paid For.
Announcement of the need
of an additional ."rl.oOfl to com
plete the purchase of the new
permanent decorations for the
university coliseum was made
yesterday by John K. Selleck, di
rector of student activities, and
advisor to the Innocents society in
securing the new decorations.
Selleck stated that the additional
money was needed to complete the
ghting and orchestra arrange
ments for the decorations pur
chased thru a fund started last
year by the Innocents society and
to be used for the first time this
coming Saturday at the Innocents
Homecoming party.
Methods of Raising Funds.
An attempt will be made to
raise the additional funds needed
thru contributions and charges
from organizations using the dec
orations at dances held in the coli
seum. A number of organizations
last year contributed to the fund
in this way, and others will do the
same this year.
"When .the decorations arc
finally installed, they will trans
form the coliseum into the finest
ballroom in this part of the conn
try, "Selleck said yesterday.
"Every Nebraska student should
be proud of this completed project
and glad to say that he helped in
realizing it."
Otto Kotoue, member of the In
nocents in charge of the decora
tions, said that the society would
establish the tradition that there
would be no smoking inside the
draperies, only in the outer halls
of the building. "This is to be a
tradition connected with the dec
orations as well as a safety pre
caution," he said
