PRICE 3 CENTS A SPACE RESERVED Quarters for Cadets at St, Louis If They Go The p'roBpects of a contingent of cadets from here going to the world's fair at St. Louis have begun to assume a somewhat definite shape. Command ant Chase has exchanged correspond once with the authorities at St. Louis leqpesting that space be reserved for 100 cadete from this University If netppBary the space can be enlarged 5o as to accommodate all in excess of that number who might desire to go from here. The fact that a large num ber of the battalion had counted on at tending the fair of their own accord lends encouragement to the belief in the possibility of a comparatively large and representative contingent of ca rets being sent from here. In this way they could go at much smaller ex pense without being denied any of the privileges and advantages that they might otherwise have enjoyed, bjt on the contrary, having an opportunity for a more extensive outing and great er enjoyment. Most of the cadets think favorably oi the project, though many are not sure of thtir ability to attend, as much uepends upon future circumstances Others are enthusiastic in their con sciousness that there is no obstacle to their going and that they can do so ouite handily. The following communication indi cates the way in which matters stand at present, it being a reply to a let ter from Commandant Chase to the St. Louis authorities: January l.r, 1904. Captain Wilson Chase, Commandant Cadets University of Nebraska. Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your estaemed favor of January 12th. You ask that space be reserved in our bar racks for your University for 100 ca dets. I can make the reservation at any liine preceding June 15. or after June 30, providing 1 know if this time will be satisfactory. The Second Reg iment Alabama National Guard go Into camp about the 30th of June, and they 1 Iiive 800 men. We have a number of cadet schools in camp prior to the 10th of June, and our barracks will bo ready for occupancy at any time in May. We can accommodate 2,000 at any one time, so -that I can reserve your company space before the 16th of June or after the 50th. The first part of. September is taken up. We havo a large number of assignments already made, and I know of a good many applications coming in. Yours very truly, B. C. CULP, See. Com. on Ceremonies. ' It may bo seen from the above letter th-j limits that, have been set are any time before Juno 16th or after the 30th of that month. As the attention of those at our University will be large ly occupied with commencement and attendant events until after June 15th, 11 is likely that a contingent of cadets would not go from here until July 1st or after. There has been considerable discus sion as to the feasibility of holding the annual cadet encampment at St. Louis upon this occasion. , Command ant Choso upon being interviewed b a Nobra8kan reporter denied all like lihood of such a contingency, stating that there would be no facilities for target practice, and that the stay would be too short. The officers of the battalion have expressed various opinions as to tho prospects. One man was so optlmlstlo as to state that as many as two com panies might go, while another tqok tho other extreme, holding that the outlook Seemed gloomy. The officers club frave unanimously given their ap proval to tho project. A Repoits have been in ( irt illation that men who hne drilled thiee semesters would he excused next semester. Af firmations and denials hae been float ing mound at random. Commandant Chase however, Ftates that no definite decision has been made in regard to the mntter. DR. ROSS HONORED. Receives an Invitation To Deliver Address at St. Louis. Dr Ross has received an invitation to take part in the great International Congress to be held in connection with the St. I ouis Exposition September 19 24 1904. This invitation is attended by an unusual honor in that Dr. Ross is one of the four American sociologists who wi'l .peak upon this occasion. This Congress will be the greatest scientific meeting ever held In the his tory of the world. Tho program for this great event is made up of twenty four departments, which nre in turn divided into sections, making one hun dred and twenty-nine in all Under the department "of Sociology there are three -ections. Seven addresses in tonnectlon wlththe subject will be given. One will deal with the subject in general, and upon each of the sec tions two addresses will be given. Thiee of the addresses will be given by European scientists and four by American Dr Ross and Professor Stimmcl of the Univeisitv ot Berlin, will ench discuss the third section.

A New Greenhouse It ih rumored that plans are on foot for the erection of a new greenhouse, on the University campus, between the Armory and Nebraska hall. The old greenhouse is entirely inadequate for the work that is being carried on. Moreover the present building, which was old' when It came Into the hands of the University, has stood there for over ten years, and is becoming delap Ulated. The beams and framework are in a decayed condition and with every wind a number of- glass panes are blown off and frequently broken. Tills Is dangerous In that the temperature might suddenly fall some time to such a degree as to do great damage to some of-the more delicate plants. Also tho present building, is very low and tho large plants, such as the banana trees, had to be trimmed down to keep them from becoming frost bitten through contact with the glass. The new building is to be put up on modern and improved plans including facilities for legulating temperature and niotBture. How soon the work of constructing the new house, will commence depends upon the action taken by the Hoard of Regents at their next meeting It's a pleasing thing to make a dis count sale and have the people come and carry your clothing out. We nre making a discount on winter cloth ing, underwear and sweaters. Paine's Clothing Store. Chris' Bath Parlora. 11th and P SU. Don Cameron' lunch couater fee, good service.

GIRLS BASKET BALL. Prospects and Personel of the Various Teams. The "height of the season" has not yet come In girls' basket ball. Most of thfl matches for tho girls' teams come In February and March. The first team was organized before the holi days, and Miss Ida Taylor, now play ing her fourth year on tho team," was elected captain. Tho captain of the second team and forward on the Se nior class team, Miss Emma Shlnbur, was promoted to fill the place left va cant by Miss Edith Craig. Miss Ina Gittlngs of the Sophomore team was promoted from the second team to fill tho vacancy at center, left by Miss Archibald. Miss Gittlngs Is nvallablo either as forward, guard or center, and should make a valuable now member. The team now consists of Misses Sly, Taylor, Scott, Gittlngs, Jansa and Shlnbur. It has been practicing once a week since the holidays, and is ad mittedly but little inferior to the phe nomenal team of last year. Tho second team, which distin guished itself last year by its easy defeat of Baker University, is not yet reorganized. Lately it lost its strong guard, Margaret McCutchen, who has left school. Those now playing on It are Misses Ruth Woodsmalj and Inis Everrett of last years team, and Miss Agnes Rousa of a former second team. New members are Miss Willa Adams, captain of the Freshman team and Miss Nellie Miller, of the Sophomore team, who is making an excellent rec ord at goal throwing. The class teams are pretty well or ganized now, except the Freshmen. The Freshmen have plenty of good ma terial, but their players lack height and experience. The race for the pen nant this year promises to bo the usual close one. Special rates to students wishing typewriting done. 411 Richards block.
