CONVOCATION-Tuesday, May 18 Prof. J. E. Rossignol ' 'Recent Strikes in Franco' ' Memorial Hall i ) i i i I Eleven A. M. Htnrted it will bo ono of tho best things for Nobroska that has ovor tnkon placo. It Is tho commencement of blggor things for Nebraska. Tho first Senior Day waB observed yeBtorday by tho class of 1909 and was takon with tho full consent of tho university authorities. Without tho blight of faculty disapproval which has in times past marred much of tho ploasuro of tho day it ought to develop Into ono of tho universi ty's best custoniB. Even as It is tho seniors doclaro that they had tho timo of their lives. . TO PREVENT 8TEALINQ. Every fow days ono hoars of ar ticles -that havo boon stolen at ono placo or anothor on tho campus, but tho most of this Bort of work sooms to bo dono In tho lockor rooms of the gymnasium. A plan is now being tried at tho University of Mlnnosota that promises, according to tho Min nesota Daily to do away with much of tho thieving at that Institution. Tho plan as described by the Minneso ta Daily is as follows: "Dr. L. J. Cooko has formulated a plan wheroby thieving in tho lockor roomB will bo effectually checked. It Is planned to havo a lockor room assistant who will havo chnrgo of tho keys, opon lockers when the key haB been left inside, and keep Btrlct watch to prevent thieving. It is almost Impossible to conceive tho amount of gymnaBtlc apparel stolon ovory month and a locker room attendant, it is thought will offectually check this practice. It is also planned to have a checking syBtom operated by this attendant. This will enable persons to have their ovorcoatB and derblos checked, be sides leaving their valuables in n safe." University Bulletin FIRE STARTED IN BRACE HALL. A NOTABLE DAY. Although sorlouBly inconvenioncod by rain during the latter part of yesterday afternoon tho arrangements that wero mado this year for the en tertainment of high school students far surpassed in completeness any thing thrtt has before been attempted by tho university. So far is it lay .within tho power of tho university authorities tho day was a groat suc cess. Every opportunity was pro vided high school students of seeing tho university at work and getting tho best possible impression of tho work that tho university Is doing. It is a noticeable fact that with every year the interest which tho annual Feto Day is causing through out tho Btato is greatly Increasing. Never before In tho history of tho university havo so many high school students been attracted to Lincoln. Never before havo bo many high school athletes been gathered in one track meet. If tho progress which has recently .boon mado in tho organization and development of Fete Day la continued, good effects cannot help but bo no ticed in tho university itself. Tho university must always depend large ly upon Nebraska students for Its support and tho fact that such Inter est in the university Is bolng devel oped in tho high schools must mean that more and more students will come each year to Nebraska. Instead of going into buslnes as many have done in the past, they .will receive encouragement and ambition to take a course at tho university. Tho benefit to university athletics and dob'atlng that results from the holding of tho track meet and tho in terscholastio debates at tho univer sity is also very real. The university Is enabled to know just where the best high school material of the state Is, and the high school men are aided by the opportunity of getting in touch with tho work that tho uni versity is .doing, : afvthet development, of high school day can bo continued as it has been Small Blaze Was a Result of a Flash of Lightning. Somo smoke, a little blaze and a pail of water were the elements in volved in a little fire in Brace Hall yeBtorday evening. Tho fire started In the basement whero the electric wiring enters the building, but a few buckets full of water soon put it out. The troublo waB caused by a severe flash of lightning which occurred about 7:45, which struck in tho vi cinity of tho campus and traveling along tho wires burned off the insula tion where they entered the building. On discovering the smoke the jani tor rushed up stairs for a Are ex tinguisher. Before ho could return someone had quenched what little fire there was with a bucket or two of water. The storm caused serious incon veniences throughout the campus. Water was blown through every pos sible leakage and the basements of many of the buildings wore seriously dampened by tho rain blowing in around tho windows. All of the tele phones on tho campus were put out of commission by the storm and some of the electric lighting facilities were serlouBly affected for a time. May. Saturday, IB.
