test. The Amos Aggies are evidently Hav
ing up all their spurplus energy for
the games which they are going to
play with Nebraska for on Tuesday
they allowed the Ilawkeyes to walk all
over them
According to newspaper reports the
game resembled u wrestling match un
der basketball rules more than it did
a basketball game However this was
only a fair sample of the kind of a
game which the C clones have been
putting up this year As soon as they
see that the other side has the best
of them thev think that it is up to
them to kill off a few of their oppon
ents. If the Cornliubker quintets prediction
comes true the Ames Aggies will have
nood and sufficient reasons for pursu
ing their usual tactics. Stiehm's men,
however, seem to be pretty sure that
they can give as well as take, ho all
those in favor of bloodshed had bet-
ter aecuro their tickets early and passj
into the big show
Tho team is In perfect physical con
dition and promises to show tho Ames
aggregation a little real basketball.

Legislature Votes Will Levy
for Campus Extension
Tho bill for University campuB ex
tension with ono mill tax wab passed
by a vote of 80 to 17 yesterday In
the house after much deliberation and
dobate.
At 2.30 tho discussion began An
amendment to reduce tho one mill tax
to one-half mill was introduced, and
several lively debates followed During
the discussion Representative Kronan
Introduced an amendment to reduce
the one-half mill tax to one-quarter
mill He met with much ridicule and
his proposal was defeated. It was ar
gued in favor of the half-mill tax that
tho money thus brought in would
amount to $250,000 a year and that
this amount would be all that the Uni
versity regents could judiciously han
dle It was further argued that the ijiic
tion was one of money and not of n
inoval This was granted 1 ;i goo 1
many on both sides
In favor of the one mill tax it wns
claimed that it would take fully one
mill to either move the University or
I
extend the nresent campus It was t
arirued that Nebraska used to have1
a better reputation than lt has now,
which was because not enough money ,
has been eiven the University In re-1
cent years, and that Nebraska ought
tQ haye OQO of tue beBt universities
in the country. It was said that no

matter whether the University campuB
was extended or removed, enough
money should be given to do it prop
erly As to the offer of the city of Lin
coln to contract with the state to give
$100,000 If the present campus was
extended, it was argued that tho state
was no charitable Institution and that
tho "University was not for sale." It
seems that the opinion of many was
that the $100,000 was a bribe for ex
tension. Under tho one-half mill tax
It would take at lenst fifteen yoara to
complete the removal, while with one
mill tax It could be done In seven or
eight yeais
It was finally passed in the form of
an amendment, that the state would
not contract with the cit but would
accept the $100,000 If gien without a
contract
The bill for removal was then voted
on and defeated, f8 to L".t

BIG DEFICIT NOW FACES
COTILLION MANAGEMENT
Unfortunate Circumstances Unite To
Send Big Dance Far Into
the Hole.
As a result of the first Annual Cotil
lion, the II, nest and most elaborate ball
Jin the history of the University dances,
the two upper classes face a deficit
not to be laughed at. It is especially
serious to the Juniors whose treasury
has been Badly depleted by the class
play. No expense was spared to make
this dance one to be remembered in
University circles, and there 1b not
the slightest doubt but what the com
mittee succeeded in their aim
Several unfortunate circumstances
occurred to lessen the number of cou
ples, the alumni did not flock to the
dance as had been predicted and the
management found it very difficult to
overcome the popular impression that
a good formal could not be given at
the Auditorium on account of the floor,
accommodations and difficulty of dec
orating. Though this was not bo, as
was proved to the satisfaction of all
who attended the dance, and it Is
thought that future classes will not ex-
