Shaw, former secretary of tho treas

The busiest place upon the campus
at the present time Ib the new en
gineering building. Every man who
can work to advantage has been
crowded upon the building In a) effort
to make the utmost possible use of
the present fine weather". At leat
twenty masons and a corresponding
large number of carpenters and their
helpoJs aro upon the work.
The building Iihb now reached thnt
stage where tho architectural effect of
the whole la beginning to be evident.
The design was expected to give a
massive effect and the heavy terra
cotta arches which are now being
thrown over tho second story win
dows tend to give UiIb effect. The
color of tho brick and terra cofta,
which aro being used, nro In perfect
harmony and will produce a building
which will be an ornament to the cam
pus. Not Entirely Fireproof.
The new engineering building will
be as nearly fireproof as any building
on tho campus, but the lack of money
makes It Impossible to make, it com
pletely so. The main floors wfll be
steel, but the roof will bo constructed
of wood. Tho danger of fire will,
however, be reduced to the minimum,
as the wood will be covered on the
outside by tile which aro Incombus
tible and will be protected on the in
side by a cement floor in the attic.
As this attic will not be used the Are
ilsk ls reduced to the minimum.
The only building on the campus
which might be considered more' pear
ly fireproof than this one, is the now
museum. Here o steel roof was used
but on the other hand the stalrwayB
ure of wood; while in tho engineering
building they will bo of steer. So far
as practical safety Is concerned no
building on the campuB more nearly
roaches the' Ideal than the engineering

and try to avoid their llko in tho
future. So it 1b with tho theater. It
is one of tho chief sources of enter
tainment for the American people,
and it cannot well be obliterated just
because there aro a fow things wrong
with it. Tho best policy to pursue
1b to take steps to prevent the re
currance of anything that is objec
tionable to tho average man, and let
tho public playhouse live. .
In the case of Lincoln and the uni
versity tho Nebraskan's critics would
have tho students deny their patron
age to tho Majestic .and Lyric and at
tend only tho Oliver shows. By this,
though, they would not be improving
tho situation any, for some of tho
Oliver's plays have more degrading
features than any of tho Lyric or Ma
jestic bills. No vaudeville stage
offers anything more sensuous than
the avorago comic opera. No jokes
more vulgar than those heard at the
Oliver are uttered on any other Lin
coln stage. Tho managers of tho Ly
tic and Majestic never had tho insult
ing audacity to place before the Lin
coln public such qs.how as disgraced
tho hoards of tho Oliver less than two
weeks ago.
If the Daily Nobraskan believed any
harjn could como from its advertising
of the Majestic and Lyric it would bo
at onco drop all mention of those
ment of sociology of Wisconsin uni
versity, tonight.
"I know of no sociologist in uny
of tho American universities who is a
socialist" declared the badger edu
cator. "Sociologists aro enlightened
students who stand for some partic
ular policy in the Interest of the na
tion, such as education, sanitation or
forest conservation. Socialists aro
those who believe that there should
be no private ownership of income
producing property.
"Mr. Shaw, who is a keen busi
ness man, speaks from a selfish and
commercial viewpoint. He scoffs at
bociologlsts because they are preach
ing doctrines which are detrimental tc
both his pocketbook and private busi
ness Interests. They are annoying
him. Mr. Shaw seeks only business
prosperity, while tho sociologist seeks
the welfare of the pooplo and tho na
tion. The normal mnn sees farther
than money."
Professor K. A. Ross was head of
the department of sociology of the
University of Nebraska until LJhe
spring of 190G, when-he accepted an
qffer from Wisconsin.
which Is being used on tho building is
proving itself to be of great value
In this work. It Is doing the worlc
of four or five men, while at the same
time It mixes the mortar much, more
perfectly than It could bo done by
band. Tho machine Is rapidly finding
favor with contractors having large
buildings to construct, as it more
than pays its cost. ,
The foreman in charge of tho work
estimates that it will be completed
about the first of Februnry. There will
bo no delay from lack of material and
If the weather permits the work can
bo rapidly rushed to a conclusion. At
this time of the year, however, it is
always .possible to have such weather
that no work can be done, and In case
this is true this year It is likely to
take much longer to complete the
work than is now estimated. Even
won tho coldest days that wo have
had thus far, the .masons have been
able to work while tho sun was shin
ing during tho middle of tho day.
Wisconsin has bought eighty acres
of lnnd near the campuB at a cost of
120,000.
The Famous "Peek-a-Boo."
Tho dean of women at Stanford has
put "peek-a-boo" waists under the ban.

into disfavor since its .failure to de
