Whllo-a dog-house Is-not-an -adorn
ment to tho campus, It Is very neces

departments. Tho regents have had
many discussions as to tho proper so
lution of tho problem. A place was

field. When tho removal to that Bpot
was suggested a chorus of objections
went up from tho student body. The

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.
