DEPARTMENTS TAKING SHAPE Snapshots Wanted Together With Good Jokes New Feature Con-' sidered Is the Picturing of Sponsors and Officers The contract for printing the 113 Cornhusker will be let the early part of next week. Printing firms all over the middle west are placing bids with the business manager. Representatives from concerns In St. Joe and Denver will be here the lattor part of the week to make a special plea for their llrms. Sevoral students have spoken in favor of giving the contract to a home firm, but quality and kind of work will bo the basis of lotting the contract, re gardless of the price. A slight delay has been caused by the necessity of making a final decision in regard to the cover of the annual and the amount of color work involved in tho printing. The Cornhusker staff met at 4 o'clock last evening for a two hours' session. New assignments were given out and much of the corrected copy was handed back to be revised before its final acceptance. Snapshots and photographs are pouring into the CornhuBker offlce, but this is one department where too much is never enough, and students are apked to bring all available pic tures of student life and activities. Jokes Pouring In. Stuart Gould, in charge of what is commonly called the "Joke Section," claims that he could fill an ordinary book with the amount of material all ready at hand. He especially prizes some "rare old scandal" concerning professors and students that he Is saving, and is anxiously waiting for its return through tho gauntlet of .criticism to which it will be subjected. The football section is complete to the smallest detail. Sam Carrier and Gordon Beck, the athletic editors, have taken unusual pains with this section and it is thought that owing to tho extra expense incurred, tho athletic board will contribute to the general expense of the publication. Sponsors To Be Featured. An entirely new departure in the military department that will cause the ofllcers of the cadet companies no little worry, is being considered. Edi tor Sweeley is planning to devote one page to a picture of each company, including separate pictures of the commissioned ofllcers with the com pany sponsors.

During tho Nebraska Alumni ban quet at Omaha last night Itcgent Coupland read the report and recom mendations of the regents on the question of campus removal which will be Incorporated in Governor Al drich's address to the legislature this afternoon An additional report was read which gave the approval and en dorBoment of Chancellor Avery and Dean HeBsey to the board of regents' report The regents wll recommend that all University activities and departments be united upon a single campus, in cluding every college except the medl cal This decision was reached as a result of the recent trip made by the regents, vlBlting tho larger bcIiooIb and universities of the west. Coming as a supplemental report to that given out a week ago in which the regents did not take any stand on the re moval question, It represents the opin ion of the board based on two years' examination and study of exlBtlng conditions. The board gives as the reasons which have enabled them to reach thlB decision these polntB" Buch con solidation or all activities would re sult in a better unity of the whole; the agricultural school Is especially hindered by lack of association with the other branches of the Institution which consolidation of the two cam puseB would give them; experts all over the country declare themselves strongly In favor of tho consolidation of agricultural schools with the other colleges supported by the Btate; more out door laboratories are badly need ed by tho university and those can bo best obtained on the campus which tho state owns at the edge of town. In nddltion to these roaaoiiH tho small size of the present campus Is mado a Btrong argument for removal, the board citing the knowledge gained on their trip to other universities that from thirty to one hundred acres are necefisary to provide a proper Bite to a university of tho size of Ne braska. Tho city campus consists of sixteen and one-half acres while the Btate owns a tract of three hundred and sixty acres at tho state farm. The board recomends that tho latter campus bo uBod as a Bite for the new plant. To build this new plant tho regentB ask the legislature to appropriate two and one-half million dollarB Inside of tho next six years. At the end of that time the board will entirely have completed tho removal of the univer sity. This five hundred thousand dollars a year will give the state one of the most up-to-date equipped schools In the west In tho short time of bIx years. Regent Coupland's announcement of tho stand of the board on the removal question was enthusiastically re ceived by the crowd of alumni and visitors who made up his audience. A resolution was unanimously adopted endorsing the report and recommend ing that tho legislature grant its requests. THE FINAL CRAMMING STARTS Libraries Full of Anxious Students Filled With Dismal Forbodlngs Return of Examination Pe riod Causes Flurry. Having learned well the lesson taught by experience during the mid semesters, many are taking measures to prevent a repetition of that lesson. Each day and evening tho libraries are full of students whose faces al ready bgein to show a foreboding of trouble. The usual spirit or hilarity Is being replaced by dlBinal thoughts of the future, accompanied by a feel ing of apprehension. The facilities of the law library make it an ideal place for cramming, and the facilities seem to be appre ciated. It is a scene of shirt sleeves and furroughed brows. Students gather here in bunches and stick to gether until the tap of the bell sends thorn home to trim up the wlckB. There are, of course, as exceptions, those who do not believe in studying by the cramming method, and those who do not believe in studying at all. The average Btudent, however, Is try ing to demonstrate that there is a short-cut road to success. ALUMNI OPPOSE REMOVAL Bulletin in Issue of Jan. 1 Discusses University Proposition at Length UPPER BODY OF LEGISLATURE HA8 MAJORITY OF COLLEGE EDUCATED MEN. FOUR NEBRASKA GRADS IN BOTH However, Alumni of Other 8chools and Ex-Students Make Up Good Per centage of Entire Membership. Tho regular Issue of tho Alumni Bulletin, tho publication oi tho Alumni Association, appeared Jan. 1st. The Bulletin contains twenty pages of good live news, interesting to both alumni and student. The Alumni Association directors favor the campus extension plan and are strongly against the plan of re moval. At a called meeting of the directors on Dec. 27th, nine resolu tions were drawn up and passed unanimously. These resolutions were against removal of the campus to the farm. The directors are in favor of exton-' slon of the campus both to the north and east as the needs of the UniveM slty may require, and drew up a resolution to that effect. The resolu tions drawn up by the directors, to gether with the three available plans of campus development discussed by the regents of the University, appear in the Bulletin and are discussed at length. A Boarch through tho biographical tiles of tho legislature now in session at the state houso reveals many sur prising statistics as to the oducational Btatus of those who will make Ne braska's laws during tho next few months. Tho comparatively small per centage of college graduates, or even of thoBo who havo moroly attended, for a longer or shorter period, an Insti tution of higher learning, may bo a Bourco of encouragement to tho under graduate whoso ambitions lie in a po litical direction. Few College Men In House. In both houses of tho legislature a groat majority of the members have had no moro than a common school education, a much smaller proportion have attended high school, while those who have had a college or university educutlon are conspicuously tow. In the Iioubo of representatives can bo found but two Nebraska graduates. John B. Brain of Omaha graduated from the local law school in 1911, and John M. Norton of Polk took on A. B. degree from Nebraska in 1903. Earl Mallory of Alliance spen: two years in tho University. John H. Mockett of Lincoln was a student here luring the years from 1880 to 1883.

Forty-seven mem bers of the house havo only common school education, seven have attonded high school, while six fail to report any school attendance whatever. College Men Found In 8enate. In the senate a comparatively great er number of college men are found. Walter V. Moagland of North Platte secured his A. B. at Nebraska In 1895 and his law degree in 1896. J. H.
