Regents May not be Able to Purchase' the Extra Lots. v ; The mattor of securing lots In the .second block' north of the university campus for an athletic field was con sidered by the board of regents at its mooting yesterday morning. Consider able doubt was expressed as to whoth er tho funds in hand would permit tho purchase of tho additional ground out sido of tho one block originally con sidered. The members of tho board In chnrgo of tho purchaBo arrangementa wero Instructed to hasten tho securing of options bo that the board may know as soon as possible Juut what tho ono block 1b to cost. Whon that Ib known it may bo found possible to buy fur ther lots in the second block. In case tho additional lots aro not purchased the plan qf tho proposed athletic field as shown in yesterday's Dally Nebraskan will bo seriouBly mut ilated. If onfy ono block !b provided, thero will bo no room for a track and tho football field Itself will bo serious ly cramped. On recommendation of Dean Burnett and Principal Davlsson of the School of Agriculture tho regents adopted the following rules with regard to fra ternities and sororities ip that depart ment of tho university: "No student in tho School of Agri culture shall be permitted to Join nny fraternity or sorority. "No student belonging to any fra ternity or sorority shall bo admitted to tho School of Agriculture. "No student In tho College or Agri culture shall bo permitted to Join a fraternity or Bororlty without first class ifying as a regular student and having full credits for ono semester's work in the college." The flrBt two rules are merely ad ministrative measures to enforce the law passed by the last legislature for bidding fraternities nnd sororities In secondary schools. The School of Agri culture, offering a throe-year course, f& a secondary school and thus comoB un der the law which was primarily aimed at high school secret societies. Tho last of tho series merely makes tho regulations as to fraternity mem bership at the state farm conform to tho rules now enforced by tho Intor fratornlty Council of tho genornl fra ternities represented in the other col leges of the university. Professor H. K. Wolfe of tho de partment of educational psychology was appointed head of the department of philosophy to take tho placo made vacant by the resignation of Chancel lor Androws.

Instructor Bonsten of the depart ment of geography was raised to tho rank of adjunct jrofcssor. The regents accepted a report by Professor Possler as to the advisabil ity of establishing a department of Swedish languages. Tho 'department will bo established at the beginning of tho next semester if the registration will warrant tho oxpenso. A registration fee of ?2 annually was ordorod assessed upon all wh take advantage of the uorvices of tho Uni versity Teachers' Bureau in securing sttuatlons, this to cover tho cost of maintenance. The "Cornhusker" is to be sent ;to every high school in tho state accord ing to a resolution adopted yesterday by tho regents, Thlsjs done in the belief that the high school students would bo given an opportunity, to, seo what the university is, as it is, shown Jn the .annual publication, ' The, board will, meot again at 9 a. ra., this mornjng for a further considi oration of financial and' other mat ters, ' Notice All candidates for the fresh man track team are requested to re port fpr.practico Saturday afternoon at 2;0 p'clpck at the. gymnasium. 1ST.
