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.
One stumbling block 1b the added
expense, for the cost of making sep
arate copper half tones for wacli com-

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

However, Alumni of Other 8chools and
Ex-Students Make Up Good Per

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
