FRATERNITY HALL K Professor Maxey Remains and Profes sor Ayers to Resign Contract for the Engineering Building Let. The Board of Regents closed their meetings yestorday after a two days' session. Much interest has been manifested in these meetings by' the University in general because of the number of important matters that came up. Probably most Interest was centered about the election of the fuculty of the law school, because of the friction which was known to exist there. Last Friday and Saturday a petition was circulated to have Dean Costigan removed and another to have Professor retained. It was claimed that these petitions were quite gen erally signed by the law studentB. Later those in favor of the retention of Dean Costigan adopted resolutions discountenancing the reasons given for his removal. The Dean himself was in favor of the removal of Pro fessor Ayers and the retention of Professor Maxey. The Regents de cided to retain Dean Costigan and Professor Maxey, but asked for the resignation of Professor Ayers at once, to take effect at once. The contract for the new Engineer ing building was let to Qoujjd & Son, of ;OnjattfjJi7,hQ., original plan 6f the building called for an appropriation of $95,880, but the Regents added $33,000 to this amount for roofing and other things which were not included before. Many professors were raised In rank, and the annual budget for the different departments was apportlbned. Several changes will be made about the campus of the State Farm drive ways, walks and gardens will be laid - out. IJt was expected that some action would betaken in regard to the pur chase of a new athletic field, but-that matter had to . be deferred until the next meeting when the committee, v7hlch- has several places under con sideration, will report. The length of the Easter recess was not changed, as had been rumored about the campus. Junior Informal ABBOTT'S ORCH.

Switzler, who has been doing good work thiB year and who was a member ol last year's team,, did not go on the trip. He has an arm which was in jured several years ago and the stren uous work-outs of the past few weokj put It out of commission entirely. Most of Nebraska's points will be won by D. C. Mitchell.
