Collegians Play 78 Intramurals
For Relaxation, Miller's Survey
Discovers; Hog-Calling Includecl
Hog-calling at Florida and equi
tation at Missouri are several of
the odd intramural sports played in
American universities and colleges
according to an exhaustive survey
recently completed by Charles E.
Miller, Nebraska's gymnastics
coach and Instructor of physical
education.
To learn of the composition of
the intramural calendars of the
various colleges and universities
according to the size of male en
rollment, Miller sent questionaires
to 563 institutes of learning and
the results proved to be as varied
as individual fingerprints.
A total of 4,145 sports were
listed by the 563 schools, accord
ing to the survey, and 78 different
Intramural pastimes were used. No
attempt was made to classify the
sports by Miller who listed them as

EDUCATORS BOOST
HOUND-TABLES AT
1936 ASSEMBLIES
(By AinwlalfU Collrflate TrrM.)
Santa brought a real heavy load
to U. S. college scientists and
technologists this year.
"Heavy" in more ways than one,
it consists of millions of words
delivered at thousands of round
table meetings at a myriad of
technical conventions.
For the scientists alone, more
than six million words were made
into more than 3,000 technical
papers given before approximately
100 scientific societies. The word
age of the many other technolo
gists in non-scientific fields at
their convention remains inesti
mable. With formal classes adjourned
for the holiday season, thousands
of U. S. college and university
faculty members travel millions of
miles to attend their "birds of a
feather" meetings where they ex
change notes about their social and
scientific work of the past 12
months. Many are the revelations
made, great is the cheering over
the advancement of civilization.
Outstanding Science Meetings.
Probably most important of all
gatherings Is the meeting of the
ponderous A merican Association
fnr th Advancement of Science
and co-operating societies, held this
year in Atlantic uiy. Anmropoi
ogists and archaeologists met In
Washington; economists, sociolo
gists, political and social scientists
in Chicago: historians in Provi

polis; geologists in Cincinnati;

MUSIC DEAN ASKS MORE
ATTENTION FOR COURSES
Urges Non-Music Students to
Register for Glee Club,
Orchestra.
Students who are not affiliated
with the music department should
take advantage of the opportuni
ties it offers and register for glee
club, orchestra, or chorus, accord
ing to Howard Klrkpatrick, di
rector of the school of music.
Chorus and orchestra meet twice
a week while men's glee club
meets three times, each with an
hour of credit for the semester.
During the first semester, reg
istration from other departments
than the school of music brought
very satisfactory results in build
ing up the personnel of the Choral
union and it is hoped that this
will continue in the coming term.
If music is worthy of a place in a
university education, these courses
should be given attention by the
deans, advisers, and faculty, as
well as by the students themselves.

Main Articles.
Scheduled for distributation
Monday, the January issue of the
Nebraska Blue Print, publication
of the engineering college, features
an article by John Mostrom, E. K.
'37. on the Oklahoma oil fields,
and a description of "Slicing a
Thirteen Story Building" by W. R.
Hodge, Arch. E. 61.
Mostrom represented Nebraska's;
chapter of Sigma Tau, honorary
engineering society, at the annual
conclave which was held last fall
in Stillwater, Okl. He was so im-j
pressed by the obvious importance j
of the oil industry to that state ;
that upon his return from the con-!
clave, he wrote the article inn
Golden Stream." Mostrom states
that in less than ten years the dis-
Oklahoma has increased the wealth
thore many times over, and trans
formed the capital. Oklahoma Liiy,
from a very ordinary midwestern
city to a largo, busy metropolis,
with double its previous population.
Engineering Ingenuity.
The problem of getting a proper
set back on a narrow street was
recently solved in a novel ami in
teresting manner in Los Angeles,
and the solution is described by
W. R. Hodge in the article on
"Slicing a Thirteen Story Build
ing." The building in question was
located on a busy corner of Olive
street in the coast city. Increased
traffic prompted the city authori
ties to widen the street and thus
set the property line back some
five feet. At first it seemed inevit
able that the owners of the build
ing would have to tear out the
front of the building in order to
meet the new property line. Such
an operation would have necessi
tated upsetting three large occu
pied offices on the front of all 12
upper floors as well as a handsome
store on the first floor.
Then the plan was formulated
to cut a gap in the building for
its full width and height and then
move the disconnected front unit
of the structure five feet to the
rear to close up the opening. This
scheme left the front facade in
tact and reduced the size of only
two offices and corridors per floor
at a point where an interior light
court is located. No tenants of
the building were disturbed during
the 109 days required for the oper
ation. A period of but nine hours
elapsed between the Initial shove
and the time the structure was in
place over its new concrete mat
footings. One or me fiiiiicuniL-n

Future of Nebraska's athletics
rests somewhat in the hands of the
University of Texas athletic coun
cil which is fervently seeking to
secure the services of a football
coach to fill tho position vacated
by Jack Chevigny, former Notre

the Longhorns will not bo renewed.
Dana X. Bible, Nebraska's ath

coach, is the man sought by Lone
Star nthletic officials. An uncon
firmed report prevailed Thursday
afternoon that Bible had made tt
proposition with Texas officials
for $25,000 per year and a five
year contract. Some reports were
for the immense salary, highest
salary paid a football coach, plus
a ten year contract. The reports
i have not been confirmed.

j A meeting of the Texas athletic
council was slated for Saturday to
which Bible may be invited to
attend, Not until he receives a bid
to sit in at the athletic meeting
