SENATE COMMITTEE 18 APPOINT
ED TUE8DAY.
Five Men on the Committee In the
House and Four on a Similar
Body from the Upper
Chamber.
The University of Nebraska Is at
present receiving much, attention from
the stuto legislature. Monday, In
place of the Panama exposition dlB
cuBBlon, a chance for a fight was pre
cipitated by Representative Kirk of
Knox, who Introduced a resolution
calling for the appointment of a spe
cial committee to make Investigations
Into the feasibility of removing the
state university to the state farm, this
committee to report before any appro
priations for the university are con
sidered. On the objection of Gerdes
of Richardson, consideration of this
motion was deferred until Tuesday.
The committee on university re
moval desired by Kirk is to consist of
five members, according to the motion
which he made. It is to act with a
similar committee of fVve to be ap
pointed- f rom the senate."Its powers
are confined to a recommendation of
the advisability of removal.
House Resting.
Tuesday nothing was done by the
house with the Kirk resolution intro
duced on Monday providing for a spe
cial committee to Investigate and re
port recommendations on whether the
University of Nebraska should remain
where it Is or bo removed to another
location. Considerable opposition to
this proposal appeared to have been
aroused on the floor, and Its mover,
Kirk of Knox, agreed to have It go
over for another day. Gerdes of
Rlcahrdson gave notice that he would
have a substitute to offer. He said
further that ho had been Informed
the senate would probably reconsider
its action taken on Monday along the
same line, because its significance had
not been fully understood.
An effort to dispose of the Kirk res
olution by referring It to the full com
mittee on finance, ways and means
and on university and normal schools,
Instead of to five members picked from
those committees, was made by
Mockett of Lancaster. Speaker Kuhl
ruled the suggestion out of order.
Bassett of Buffalo then offered an

of the special committee to four, hut
this was voted down.

HOLLAND ANSWERS ATTACK
IN TUESDAY'S FORUM ARTICLE
Editor Dally Nobraskan
Had the attack in Tuesday's Ne
braskan been made in a disinter
ested spirit and over the writer's
own signature, I should have aiu
swered gladly One swalloivs hls
'prlde when he consents to reply to
the anonymous whimperings of a
disgruntled political henchman who
Bees his own chances of securing
an appointment lessened by the ad
vent of a third candidate, and
breaks out In a wail for an exhibi
tion of class spirit in order thai
his own hopes of landing a plum
may not be shattered.
To those who are really dCBlr6us
of knowing the facts I make the
following statement:
This is my sixth year in college.
I have nevor carried less than 1G
hours a semester and I have never
had a failure or a condition.
I have never taken a degree,
having shifted my course from en
gineering to law.
I voted with the sophomore class
because I believed I had the right
to vote with the class with which
I expected to graduate.
