Dormitory Plan m Is Beins Ur<red O c for University * Wealthy Omaha Alumui Re . ported Financing Scheme —Lincoln Landlords * Oppose Move. Special Dispatch to Tha Omaha Be*. Lincoln. May 16.—Wealthy Omaha -alumni of Nebraska's university are reported to be pushing a project to build a number of large dormitories around the university campus in an effort to meet present-day criticism of student life in Lincoln, namely: High rentals and food prices. Lack of restraint outside the cam pus resulting in late, uncertain hours and habits detrimental to physical, mental and moral growth of students. The first step toward realization of this dream of the Omaha philanthro pists, reported to be behind the move ment, was the passage of a bill by the last legislature. This bill empowers •university regents to pay individuals 1-2 per cent, on capital invested in dormitories. Contract for Service. Under the plan under discussion students or their parents desiring to take advantage of low rentals and low food prices to be charged in these dormitories would enter Into a con tract with university officials for such service. This contract also would call upon the signer to abide by dormitory rules established by the university of ficials. which would be enforced by superintendents of dormitories em ployed by the state. These rules would call for a modu lated program of the regular boarding school. The chief requisites would be: At a certain hour students would be obliged to be in their rooms and at certain hours lights must be turned •out. The owners of the property would A compensated by the 5 1-2 per cent on their invested capital, which it is felt would not force university offi cials to demand much for rentals ar.d board. It Is believed such a plan, if it is carried out, will cut the cost of JORDAN SEDAN 1920 model. This is a remarkable car for the price.

Opposed toy Landlords. It is not planned to force students to go into the dormitories. It would be optional, although there is some talk of giving university officials power to tell students, lx hind in their studies, that if they will enter the dormitories and really study, the sus pension which now fads on derei.e students will be withheld. The plan Is njeeting with much op position from the hundreds of widows operating rooming houses in Lincoln, as well as from landlords of apart ment houses. Lincoln hus more widows, comparatively speaking, than any city In the slate, because many women in tho state, left with a few thousand dollars, move to Lincoln and invest the money in a rooming house.

Now, a Quick Quaker Oats Cooks in 3 to S minutes The quickest cooking oats in the world Now your grocer has Quaker Oats in two styles. One the kind you have always known—the other is Quick Quaker. Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 to S minutes. And it cooks to perfec tion. So it is almost like a ready cooked dish. No other oat flakes on the market cook anywhere near so quickly. The two styles are identical in quality and flavor. Both are flaked from the finest grains only—just the rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel of choice oats yields but ten pounds of these delicious flakes. But in Quick Quaker the oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And those small, thin flakes cook quickly. Ask for Quick Quaker if you want this style. Your grocer has both. But always get Quaker Oats for their delightful flavor. HAVE YOU BEEN BRANDED ?
