Is' the University or Nebraska to bo

tlon is one which has been ngltatlng
the minds of a number of students and
faculty members over since the de
cision of the Board of Regents to ask
the present legislature for an appro
priation Wherewith to build a home
fof a portion of Nebraskas Engineering-
department, to be "located on our
present athletic field. " xx '

jt Is argued that the only hope of
saving athletics at- Nebraska' lies in
tho securing of an appropriation from
the present legislature whlqh will In
sure the purchase of the necessary
land in, the Immediate vicinity of the
campus by the time the present nth'

pointed out that a removal of athletics
to the TJnrvQrslly Farm can have no
other thfin a detrimental effect upon
them and It Is also shown that the;
dehiand for a new afield will of rieces
slty come long before 'another legisla
ture Is In session..
; Feeling that the attitude' of the
Cltancellor upon tho situation In ques
tion would be of decided Interest to
the student bodybf tho University a,
representative of the Nebraskan called
upon Dr. Andrews and asked how he
stands on the matter. In substance,
the Chancellor expressed himself as
follows; .1

so. desperate as has been pictured. I

ItVwlll not be feasible to move ath

'believe that there Is ;stlll some fairly
easy way out of the difficulty, even If
the present legislature should not
make, a large appropriation for the ex

continued, "Of course-J believe in ath

The onlythlhg I object to In tho phi
ent agitation Is the burden that it la"
desirejl to put upon the Regents.
"I acknowledge that an appropria
tion Is probably necessary to secure
the proper field at the proper time but
there ,1s another phase to consider.
The state Is not alone In Imvlng a vital
Interest In the athletics of the Univer
sity. It, Is equally true of many of

why such a scheme cfanot be carried

There Is a' further consideration also
which Is of Interest in this connection.
That Is that tho state is morally bound
to supply the Unlversclty with an ade
quate drill ground as soon as the pres
ent one Is occupied. This practically
assures a fair- constrlbutlon to tho sum
uesireu ror tne now athletic field."
Manager Eager, when Interviewed
yesterday, ,was exceedingly insistent
for action by the Regents, at once. In
his estimation the question" is of
enough importance to warant a spe
cial meeting of the Regents and a spe
cial petition to tho legislature for the
money needed. "Was it not as import

a future field as to destroy the one

during that time. King Oscar and
many Americans who' have seen tho

for the presont American tour of tho
Swedes. They were Induced to conio
to this country last October for a few.
performances and were so well re
ceived that they consented to extend
their tour for a few weeks upon the
urgent request of America's leading
Swedish citizens. Through the west
they have given great satisfaction.
The dancers are brought to Lincoln
by the Cpllege 'Settlement Boarf
Every member of the faculty and '

their appreciation of the good work
of that board.
