CONSIDER THE ATHLETIC FIELD.
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. Chancollor AndrewB
Was formerly head of tho philsophlcal
departments as well as executive head
of tho university nnd the vacancy cre
ated by his resignation has never been
filled.
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
