JUST PLAIN HOLD-UP.
Last i-nr nn agitation was started
against tli exhorbitnnt prices chnrged
by one of the Lincoln hotels which
entered especially to the university
trade." Dance liall monopoly" was the
apt ion of a severe arraignment made
by The Nebraskan. It was at that
time charged that the hostelry was
merely taking advantage of the mo
nopoly it had on a suitable dance hull
for snub nt affairs to keep the prices
at flood tide. Not only was the price
lor the hull out of sight, but there
were other conditions which tied the
student committeemen down to a
white elephant in contracting for the I
hall True, the number of dances'
which did not pay out was small, but
the' price of living wns boosted be
vond reason.
For n time It seemed us tho nothing
would be accomplished by the agita-'
tion. The remaining part of the year
was spent In picturing what would
happen to the offending hostelry once

Rumor has it that the sororities took

price into less than half, demonstrat
