COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
PREC0MMEND8 APPROPRIATIONS.
f
-' ,
,100,000 FOR THE UNIVERSITY
Appropriation. Assures Enlargement of
f t
; City Campus and Makes Possible
l, . . 'Numerous Improvements
There and at Farm.
' . Constituted as a committee of tho
whole, tho lower house of tho state
, legislature yestorday passed the spec
ial university appropriation bill with
only sixteen dissenting votes. This
insifres tho success of tho bill on its
final reading before the house and it
la believed that the senate and gov
ernor will undoubtedly concur in the
measure..
Tho special appropriation carries to
tho university a fund of '$100,000
Which is in addition to "the regular
one mill tax levy. This fund is pri
marily for improvements oil tho city,
campus and at tho state farm and for
tho enlargement of the former area.
But Few Dissented.
Tho bill giving tho fund to tho uni
versity was considered .in committee
of the wholo yoBtorday afternoon.' Ac
cording to tho procedure of the house
of representatives' such a bill is con
sidered informally before the final
vote is taken on third reading. A bill
which passes this Informal ballot is
scarcely ever held up when It comes
tp tho final test. Especially is this the
case when tho bill passes by such a
large majority as voted for tho uni
versity appropriation yoBtorday "after
noon. Only Bixteon members of tho lower
houso of tho lawmaking body objected
to. giving, the Btato school the needed
fundB. All others present voted for
tho bill. There was but little discus
sion. The bill was favorably rocom-J
mended by tho committee on appro
priations along with some other sim
ilar matters. Tho committee's action
seemed satisfactory to tho house
members and the bill was accordingly
pkssVd.
It 1b understood that the Btato sen
a,to will Interpose no objections to the
further progress of tho measure. That
body has been recognized as being
generally even more -favorably in
clined' toward the university than the
lower house. After passage by the
sonato the bill will go to Governor
Shallenberger. The governor V&a
elected on an economy platform and
ho has announced that if he thinks
it necessary ho will slash the legis
lative appropriations severely.'- It is
not, considered, likely, "however,, that
he' will; cut thes;univ4erslty iU.' ,L
, Means Bigger Campus, o ,r

such use as the regents may desire.
This means that a part of It 'vflll be

will be at least 0,660 ',"6r; further

that this amount does not represent"

in the coming blonnium. Additions

the struggle going to bo tho molt
intense betwoon tho froBhmon and

Members of tho Inter-collegiate
teams have been chosen to coach tho
members of tho inter-class teams and
regular meetings of tho different

between coaches as between the

that the cornhuskers will be strong in

End of Basket Ball.
The Nebraska basket ball season
was closed with a defeat at the hands
of Wosleyan university at University
.Place Monday evening, the score be
ing G2 to 32.
Tho small floor on which the con
test was played and the absence of
Dwlght Bell from tho cornhusker line
up probably caused tho disaster to
tho pupils of Dr. Clapp.
Tho cornhuBkora had not recovered
from their trip to Kansas City, either,
and were In pretty poor condition to.
go against a fast team on a cramped
floor. Wajsh secured 11 of the field
goals mado by his team, and on a
larger floor probably would have made
a great record. v
Nebraska made moBt of its points
in the second half, the score for that
Inning being 23 to 19 lnavor of the
Methodists. Porry and Bell both
played good ball at the guard posi
tions. Potrashek played his usual
game at center.
The Kansas City series with tho

By muatoring on tho first ballot a
vote surprising largo ovon to his
friends, Rowland Thomas of Omaha
was yostorday oloctod presldont of the
froshman class. Thomas won by a
mnrgin of 100 votes out of a total
of 230, cast Tho final vote stood 157
for Thomas, 57 for Landers and 1$
for Bock. . . v '
Tho victory of Thomas on the first
ballot was an imlookod for occurence.
Although t soomod probabld before
tho class met that ho would be the
lucky man, there was scarcely any ex
pectation that his walkovor would be
so thoroughly complete, It, was pre
sumed that a second ballot would be
roqulred to soouro a majority. Al
though Thomas had boon the first can
didate in tho race, tho campaigns of
Book and Landers had bee conducted
with much moro surface activity and
their supporters woro moro plainly in
ovidonco than woro thoso of Thomas.

Junior elections last week; bpthojl .
wnicn woro tnrown into a turmoil
over tho quostipn of tho right of laws .
to yoto In acadomlo elections, the
freshman meeting- yestorday was a
tamo affair. By some slipping cog,
no students of tho law college ap
peared to demand a right of franchise
and all was tranquil in that regard.
President Korspacher called . the
mooting to order shortly after 11:39
and nominations for the presidency
wwe immediately called .for., Nat Neff
presented tho name of Charles Land
ers, briefly stating tho qualifications
of his man for the offlco desired, Net
was followed by Albert Mungen ;Muix-
or presented Beck as1 a man '"who

statemont did not , suit the v Thomas "
and Landers men, for cries of "Who Is

of his argument Vincent Taylor
closed the speech-making by nomlna
ing Thomas. He spoke at ; greater
length than either of the other 'two
candidates and took occaslo to Attack
in strong terms the prejudice "fre
quently manifested against Omaha
