Rockefeller Offers Two-Thirds
Cost "Temple" Building.
The NebraBkan's conjecture of last
Wednesday, that Mr. Rockefeller's of
fer to the University consisted of a
building endowment, proves to have
been an accurate one. During the
Easter vacation the Chancellor Issued
to the press of the state an announce
ment of which t..e lonowlng are the
Important portions:
Mr. John D. Rockefeller, of New
York, has offered two-thirds of the
sum of one hundred thousand dollars
($C6,666.67) for a "social and religious
building" for the University of Ne
braska on the condition that before
July 1st, 1904, others pay the remaining
third of the qaid sura of one hundred
thbusand dollars ($33,333.33) for the
same purpose.
The undersigned, representing vari
ous communions and the general pub
lic, xiro organized as a committee to
raise the necessary money: F. M. Hall,
chairman; J. I. Wyer, secretary; Dr.
B. L. Paine, F. M. Hall, M. J. Waugh.
Henry B. Ward, A. Ross Hill, J. I.
Wyer, L. A. Sherman. Laurence Foss
ler, Lewis Gregory, John H. Humpe,
N. K. Griggs, S. H. Burnham, Alexan
der Berger, Wilbur F. Bryant.
We appeal to the good people of Ne
braska for contributions toward this
worthy object.
' A choice site for the building has
been secured.
By the terms of Mr. Rockefeller's
offer all the money needed must be
subscribed by January 1st. 1904, and
be paid In by July 1, 1904.
It Is desirable that small subscrip
tions should bo paid at once In cash,
but. where necessary, subscriptions
may bo paid In three or four Install
ments. The First National bank of Lincoln
is tho treasurer and depository of the
fund. Any Bums remitted to It desig
nated for The Temple Fund," Uni
versity of Nebraska, will be duly re
ceipted for. The secretary of the com
mittee will also receive and receipt for
any moneys sent to him.
The need of the University for such
a building Is too evident to require
comment. The committee named above
will meet in the course of the next
ten dayB, and formulate plans for tne
active canvassing of the state for the
required $33,333.
As also suggested by The Nebraskan,
the Rockefeller offer Is tho result of
Chancellor Andrews' friendship with
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a graduate of
Brown during Dr. Andrews' presidency,
and was made during an eastern vlBlt
.made by tho chancellor Bome months
ago.
Tho site of tho proposed "Temple"
is to be the corner diagonally across
from tho southeast corner of tho enm
pua. It fronts on Twelfth and R
Btreets, and was purchased by the
chancellor Bomo time ago, before the
rumors of desire for It had opportunity
to produce a rise in the price. The
benefit of this foresigwill accrue to
the UnlversitjiitlianKB to tho chancel
lor's generosity.

Kansas Tomorrow.
Tomorrow the University will line
up for the first lnter-colleglate base
ball game of the year. The Cornhusk
ers will meet their old-tlmo rlvalB from
the Sunflower state on Nebraska field
at 3:30 p. m. Reports from Kansas
Indicate that It haB a fast aggregation,
which puts up a game that contains
considerable of the real article. One
chief aim of the Jayhawker nine this
year 1b to wallop Nebraska and trail
the scarlet and cream In tho dust. Thoy
may succeed, but If they do one thing
is certain, and that Is they will earn
their victory. Captain Townsend now
had a herd of colts which Ib not to
be driven about with ease. If Beltzer'B
curves prove the puzzle for the Kan
sasltes they did for Rourko's family,
the visitors may be surprised. Kansas
has become bitter over her defeat In
debating and football at the hands of
Nebraska, and Is coming this time
with revenge as her war cry. No one
Bhould miss tnls fray. Admission will
be 25 and 35 cents.

Northwestern Meet Off.
Developments of the past week have
dealt a severe blow to track athletics.
The big Nebraska-Northwestern meet
will not occur. This conclusion was
reached a few days ago at an athletic
board meeting. An inability to get
the most favorable date for the meet
is the chief cause of its being called off.
Further, the board did not feel In
clined to advance Northwestern as
much money as they desired. An offer
of $275 was made, but the easterners
set the price at about $175 more thap
this. The only date they offered when
we could have profitably have taken
them on at all was on May 23. There
are baseball games on the 20th and
22nd. Tho lnter-scholastlc meet takes
place May 9th. It waB not considered
advisable, financially, to bring North
western here at this time. About May
lGth would have been tho best date
for Nebraska, but this was declared out
of the question by Northwestern. If
such a date could have been secured
tho athletic board would probably have
made 'a strenuous endeavor to raise
sufficient funds to effect the meet. Ac
cording to the present outlook no meet
of equal Importance can be secured.
An endeavor to schedule a meet with
Ames resulted In a failure. The man
agement is up against It, and It looks
as though Lincoln high school or
Doane would be tho only meet on the
home grounds. F

Talk the Jayhawkers.
Nebraska's clean score championship
debate record of last year wbb con
tinued at Lawrence last Friday night,
when, on the negative of the proposi
tion to compel arbitration of labor dis
putes In public service industries,
George A. Lee, '03, Emory R. Buckner,
'04, and Richard C. James, 03, won a
sweeping victory from the University
of Kansas team, which had been care
fully and elaborately coached by sev
eral Kansas professors, In both the
academic and law departments In the
endeavor to stop the victorious ad
vance of Nebraska.
The victory was as decisive, report
the team and Professor Fogg, as was
the one over Kansas last year, when
hardly a Bhred remained of the Jay
hawkers' affirmative case on reciproc

much this yenrt It was upon this
"training" that the Kansns team
HuBton, a colored man from the law
school; Barttelle, of the college proper,
and Sims, also of tho law school was
confidently relying, until Nebraska's
compact, unified, clean-cut case, "sup
ported." as the Kansas University
Weekly of Saturday points out. "at
every point by evidence, struck them.
From the first blow dealt by Lee,
with a fifteen-foot chart giving the re
sults of long investigation by the com
pulsory arbitration squdd In the gov
ernment reports on Btrlkes and lock
outs, the conflict plainly Indicated a
Nebraska triumph, lee's theBls was
that since 188U the strike problem In
transportation Industries, where the
debate hinges, has been settling Itself,
and therefore there Is no necessity urg
ent enough for the adoption of the
affirmative plan, admittedly dangerous.
Lee further argued that compulsory
arbitration files in tho face of the
fundamental principle of law the free
personal-service contract and that It
rides rough-shod over tno economic
pftnclple that wages and pieces must
be fixed by tho law of supply and de
manu.
From the Btart, Kansas tried to
spread the debate so as to Include coal
mining. This lndtiBtry Nebraska
threw out, by drawlfig the line where
courts have drawn It Kansas persist
ently fell into the unpardonable fallacy
of talking about strikes in general, in
stead of strikes in public-service in
dustries. Down to the question they
had sent to Nebrasna, Leo, and James,
and Buckner all repeatedly tried to
hold them. Toward the last Buckner
told them Nebraska would debate coal

thingbut tonight she would debate
only the question proposed.
Kansas led1 off with Huston, who
spoke finely a well-turned address, full,
however, of unsupported assertion, and
spoiled by several fatal fallacies. For
Nebraska, James, after doing up as
many assertions and fallacies as It was
needful to demolish, demonstrated the

ment with a mixture of pretty good and
very bad work. Witty and ready, ho
let words run away with his logic. But
the crowd applauded loudly. Bucknor
caught Sims on several fatal bald as
sertions and garbles, showed how the
Kansas fineB plan relied upon to pro
duce continuous operation, nnd after
telling use of the sixty-volume Ubrnry
Nebraska had on hand, set fortn Ne
braska's substitute of compulsory In
vestigation by authoritative boards,
backed' up oy public opinion.
To get four extra minutes Nebraska
had agreed to split the final refutation
speech, which Mr. i.eo was to make, In
to two flve-mlnutc arguments. It was
in this refutation work that the Ne
braska speakers outdid themselves.
Sims got caught, with his assertions
and oratory, between Buckner and
Leo, who mlnce-meated him. Leo
closed with a brilliant, Irresistible
piece of work.
Without conference, the Judges at
once, as tho Kansas coaches desired,
handed up their decision two to ono
in favor of Nebraska.
An irritating feature of tho debate
was the errors oi the Kansas time
keeper, the president of tho debating
association. He stopped Leo at first
five minutes too soon; he made a mis
take In James' time, and ho got one of
the Kansas rebuttal speeches six and
a half Instead of five minutes.
Professor Fogg, In speaking of the
victory yesterday, eald: "It was com
plete a repetition of last year's utter
defeat by Bracelen, Doubt and Haw
thorne. And for the victory Nebraska
owes "h great debt not only to tno
team which spoko at Lawrence, but to
the loyal men of the second team, who
