IMPROVEMENTS ON THE CAMPUS
No Radical Changes Likely to Be
Made In Library for at Least
Two Years All Depart
ments Crowded.
With the meeting of the Board of
Regents yeBtcrday, when the ques
'tlon was discussed as to what im
provements should he asked from the
Legislature for the coming two years,
discussion sprang up anew on the
campus as to what Bhould be done
to care for the Increased numbers of
students who are coming to the Uni
versity every year. The crowded
condition of the library, the difficulty
which Is being experienced in caring
for the students registered In chemis
try, the large number of students who
are taking biology, and -the crowded
American history classes make the
problem of vital importance.
Conditions in Library.
The conditions in the library have
been growing Bteadlly worae for sev
eral years, and it Is a. matter of com
mon occurrence for students to bo
turned away because all the chairs
are taken. Librarian Jewett, how
ever, declared that he was not asking
for anything to bo done in the way
of remodeling the building for at least
two years. Whatever changeB are
made, will not be so large but
that the rogentB can care for
them out of tne regular funds on
hand.
Dean Bessey, when seen Friday after
noon, declared that he know nothing
about the mooting of the regents and
was not asking for any now building.
He said ho had, however, made it
known to the authorities that some
thing muBt bo done to take caro of
ly, ho was firmly convinced that ul
timately the univreBlty would havo to
bo moved to tho Btate farm. The
buildings are terribly crowded on the
prosent campus. Tho conditions which
are being encountered In the attempt
of the athletic board to condemn suf
ficient land north of tne campu&J
for a now athletic field make it evi
dent that It will cost entirely too
much for the university over to at
tempt to enlarge the campus sufficient
ly by extension in that dlroction.
Dean BoBBoy stated that he bolioved
that Bitch colleges as the law school,
the medical college and the engineer
ing department might ultimately be
left on tho present campus, while the
academic college, together with the
chemistry department might be largely
moved to tho farm.
While the engineering department
and the agricultural school are both
made a part of the same college by the
laws of the state, it is a paradoxical
fact that the academic college is much
closer to the agricultural Bchool than
Is tho enginering department. Very
few engineers ever take any work In
the agricultural college, while a large
number of academic students take a
certain amount of work thore.
Possibilities of Farm.
It would be possible, if tho monoy
could bo obtained from tho legislature,
to build a thoroughly up-to-dato and
beautiful state university at the farm.
One Btyle of architecture could bo ad-
horod to and a groat quadranglo could
be laid out which would be one of the
most beautiful places in the west.
When the literary college was moved
the other departments left on tho cam
piiB would be given plenty of room, and
would. In a short time, Bpread out and
absorb all the room on the campus.

The Number of Men Trying Out at Fall
Preliminaries High.
All university records In debating
squad work were broken Thursday
night when thirteen more men signi
fied their intention of entering tho
second preliminary for tno selection of
members of tho squad for tho year
1909. Last spring twelve men wore
chosen from thlrty-flvo for places on
the squad, leaving six places yet to'
be filled. Sovoral aro yet to bo
heard from and It is very probable
that the total number trying out this
fall will exceed twenty.
This number, together with tho thirty-live
who tried out last spring estab
lishes a now record for those partici
pating In squad work. Heretofore not
more than thirty-five havo ever en
tered the preliminaries. Tho men try
ing out now aro H. C. Hathaway, 1911;
S. S. .Davis, 1909; S. S. Stone, law,
1910; Paul Haldorson, 1911; "Dale

TRY-OUTS TO COME THIS MONTH
tho additional students who J have
registered for biology. The blolqgy de
partment Is now In exactly the,, same
situation, bo far as room 1b con
cerned, that it was twenty years
ago. The physics department has
had a new building; the chemistry
building hqs been revonated; the ge
ology department has been cared for;
a new engineering building is now be
ing constructed, but while the depart
ment of Biology has boon steadily,
growing, It now occupies precisely the
same, quarters it did twenty years ago.
Dean Bessey declared that, personal-
Arrangements for Work of Dramatic
Club Complete. V
- Try-outs for membership in the
dramatic club will bo held during tho
third week of October. Tho club has
still room for a few more live ones
on Its membership roll and all who
think that they possess the qualifi
cations are urged to make a try for
It. If possible, two or more persons
should try out together, but this rule
will not be held to in cases where It
is Impossible. The only condition at
tached to the selection chosen for
trial is that it be dramatic, and full
of life and action. Orations and rec
itations will not be considered. Choose
some scene from a play, or merely an
Incident from a Bcene, and get the
spirit of the lines, not only the words,
Any questions concerning the nature
of the try-outs will be, gladly answered
by Miss Howell or any officer of the
club. The exact dates when the try
outs will come' off will bo published
later.
against Doano. It was announced, last
night that all of these players would
be In the game at the start today, but
Hint several of thorn would bo re
moved at different intervals during
tho second half to allow the substi
tutes to do a little playing.
Speculation on the score Indicates
that a majority of the students expect
the CornhiiBkers to roll up more than
fifty points. Last year tho score
agalnBt tho Crete men -was 85 to 0.
Tho most ardent supporters of the
Nebraska eleven do n6t expect nearly
as large a score as that today, for this
is an eqrly season contest, while tho
ony last year was the final game of
tho season on the local field.
Doano does not expect to hold Ne
braska to as low a score- as that of
the Peru game but they bolleVo they
will be able to keep the points down
to thirty or forty. The Doane team
is heavier than the Peru eleven and
probably will be able to put up a
stronger defense than the Normals.
The Doano coach Is expecting John
son, quarterback on his eleven, to do.
some sensational playing against the
Cornhuskers.
Th6 game this afternoon will start
at 3:30 o'clock. General admission will
be twenty-five cents. There will be
plenty of room on the grounds for
carriages and automobiles.

Tho Doano men havo boon put
ting in some good licks undor tho
direction of Coach Cams for tho last
two weeks and they como to Lincoln
with a firmly-rooted Intention of giv
ing Coach Colo's proteges a hard tus
sle this afternoon. Last season tho
CornhuskorB and tho Crotlans.mot
pear the end of tho season. At that
time the "varsity had had all tho ad
vantages of Boveral weoks of Instruc
tion from "King" Cole, during which
time they had fared woll at tho train
ing table, and in addition thoy had
profited by tho exporlpnco of mooting
mich teams as Minnesota, Ames, Kan
sas and Colorado. Notwithstanding all
of this, Captain John Weller, noted for
IiIb care and caution, Issued an edict
headed with the memorable words,
''Wo must beat Doano." Ho intended
that no chances should bo tnkon to
ward underestimating the strength of
tho foo and none wore. Tho score
was 53 to 0.
1 8 a Try-out.
Today, however, tho Cornhuskors
are not In tho shape they wore In at
the time of the Doano. gamo last year.
Today's game will bo virtually their
first real try-out and tho' degroo of
their strength or weakness Is yet an
unknown quantity. Doano, on the
ether hand, comes here w.lth tho earn
est determination to waBh off of tho
suite the remaining unsightly record
of last year'B defeat and to .place a
new mark there which they will not
be ashamed to exhibit. They are not
so optimistic as to predict a victory
over the Cornnuskers, but they aro
hopeful of keeping the 'varsity Bcore
very low. It 1b said that Coach CarnB
has drilled his men In several trick
l'luys which thoy hope to use against
the CornhuBkerK for good gains.
For the laBt day of two Manager
"Dog" Eager has been busy issuing
the new suits to the 'varsity men and
last night for the first time they ap?
ponred for practice In them".
The New 8uits.
The new paraphernalia consists of
red JorsoyB with red and white striped
sleeves, and red and white striped
stockings. The jerseys aro all padded
with tan leathor pads. As soon as
the time for the larger games ap
proaches all of tho men will be pro
vided with union suits, but during the
warm weather of tho early season
most of the players prefer to JiBpenso
with the jacket on account o fthe
heat. The team certainly presents a
formidable appearance in their new
togs and they will have to go some
if they show up as well In action as
they do at a casual glanco during sig
nal practice.
In practice yesterday Captain Har
vey was played at right guard,- the
position he played two years ago,
and Tolte Bentley was In the cap
tain's place at right ond. Last night
the coach had not made his final de
cision as to tho. initial personel of the
team for today's game, but he thought
It would be as indicated above. Cha
loupka will not play very long If at
all on account of having been absent
from practice all week. Bowers and
Shounka will probably hold down the
right-guard position, while Harvey will
be Btarted at end. Bentley will prob
ably be put In at end and later shifted
to quarter. On account of the Inclem
ent weather at the time of the Peru
game last Saturday the game was
no real test and consequently a good
many new men will probably bo tried
out today.
