Tho unsightly 'dog house Is to bo hidden that Is, In course of time. Trees have recently been planted around It thick enough to entirely hide It when tho trees got their growth.

CAN'T DANCEJN ROSES Flowers Cause Falls -and Damage the Floors at Prom. Wild excitement reigns at Purdue owing to an order given out by the chairman of the junior prom commit tee that no flowers shall bo worn at tho junior prom. Many of tho co-eds aro up in arms opposing tho edict. They say that they WIHj wear John's or Will's flowers, nnd that they will not go to tho danco without them. The ruling wns passed by tho chair man of tho commltteo because it was feared that tho wearing of flowers would causo danger to tho .life and limb of' tho dancers besides imperil ing various fancy decorations which will bo grouped about tho hall On pedestals. Flowers which, aro worn at tho prom ar usually lost on the floor during the course of tho dance. They have tho same effect upon the foot that a well placed banana peel would have. As a result the dancers' are in danger of. losing their equi librium at any moment. In addition to suffering severe injuries they run a chance of 'damaging the floor or knocking a pedestal over In their mad sprawl, to say nothing of the loss of self-respect to tho party suffering tho fall. As it stands at the present time, tho girls say they will npt go unless they 'aro permltfeS to carry or wear flowers. If this threat is carried out there is a possibility of a very slim attendance at tho danco. BOARD PUBLISHES STATEMENT OF. FACTS TO CLEAR UP MI8UNDER8TAND- INQ OF COACH ELECTION. A PETITION WAS PRESETTED Cherrlngton Was Unanimous Choice of Team and Student BodyHo Consented to Accept After Pressure. Owing to tho many conflicting stato monta and rumors about tho campus concerning tho recont track coaoh election, tho athlotlc board has Boon fit to Ibsuo a statomont sotting forth tho factB of tho oloctlon and tho rea sons for their action. Tho statement was Issued yostor day aftornoon, ovor tho signature of Dean IlichardB, chairman of tho board. It Is as follows: On Wodnosday, Bon Chorrlngton ot Omaha accoptod tho position of coach of tho University of Nobraska track toam. So many conflicting roports In rogard to a track coach havo boon circulated that It scorns that an Injus tice has boon done both to Mr. Howltt and Mr. Chorrlngton. Bocauso of this tho athlotlc board and members of tho track toam wish to explain tho situ ation. Tho following are tho facts brlofly stated: About a month ago Howltt was offered tho position of coach at a salary for tho soaBon of $1C0, but ho rofusod to accept at theso figures. At a lator mooting of tho board at which a baro quorum, was present, a motion wob mado to ralso tho amount to $250, Boforo tho offer was tondorcd, howovor, to Howltt a third mooting of tho board was hold at which nearly all of tho mombors woro present At this meotlnfe a potltlon slgnod by thirty-eight out ot forty mombors of tho track squad was presented asklnjr -that .Chorrlngton bo omployedr When tho board realized that Chorrtngton was practically tho unanimous cholco of tho track team and tho student body, thoy Immediately doclded to of fer him tho position. It was felt, how ovor, that owing to tho heavy oxponBe which tho athletic board had Incurred In completing, tho athlotlc Hold, that tho previous resolution to pay a salary of $250 was somewhat hasty and really moro than tho board could afford to pay at the present time. Consequent ly It was thought expedient to offer Chorrlngton $150, which wag tho amount first offered to Howltt. Tho board realize that this Is a mhch smaller amount than tho position should pay and less thari Cherrlngton would accept under' ordinary circum stances. At first Cherrlngton rofusod , to accept,- but because of tho pressure brought to boar upon him by tho mem bers of tho .track squad and tho stu dent body, ho finally consented to take tho position.
