PASS RESOLUTION FAVORING
B'ULDINQ FOR CLASS ROOMS
OTHER NEEDS RECOGNIZED
Discussed Need of Better Facilities
for General Activities Greer,
Engherg and Skinner on
the Committee
At a meeting of the University Sen
ate, held last Saturday forenoon, sev
eral new buildlngN6ites were proposed
and the propositions sent to the office
of Architect Hodgdon, together with
plans for new buildings. Several
committees were appointed to help
the Board of Regents in'deciding how
to"extend the campus.
Professors Greer. Engberg and Skin
ner were appointed to investigate con
ditions on the campus and to decide
which departments first needed new
quarters.
The following resoluiion was
passed: Inasmuch as the University
is inadequately equipped with space
for classrooms and laboratories, many
of the rooms being basement rooms,
with overhead heating, nearly all of
them crowded and without adequate
ventilation; and inasmuch as inade
quate space exists for instruction or
for conferences, the University Senate
respectfully requests the Regents, in
Jhe expenditure of the building fund,
to erect such structures as will afford
relief to' the students and faculty from
the conditions just described.
The University Senate recognizes
the great need of better facilities for
the general activities of the student
body, better gymnasium - facilities, a
convocation hall, and is familiar with
the movement in other schools for
Freshman dormitories. Desirable,
however, as these things are, the Uni
versity Senate believes they could be
deferred until relief from the con
gested classroom and laboratory con
ditions has been secured.
PHI DELTA PSI HAVE

Number of Pledges Will Be
Initiated Monday Night
THE AB CLUB HAVE
A LARGE INITIATION
Fifteen Men Went Through Initiatisn
Ceremonies Meeting Ended
With Fine Feed
Last Saturday night at he Farm
judging pavillion the Ag Club pulled
off a stupendous initiation. About
fifteen new men were put through Jhe
paces and critically examined for any
defects in their constitutions. Hap
pily none were unsound, so the Farm
was spared from any tregedies.
At dusk unearthly sounds emanat
ing from the pavillion indicated that
the Initiation was in full progress.
All evening these sounds continued
until the mad orgies were stopped,
and the victims nourished. Yet, one
overzealous novice had to be thoroly
soaked down with aqua pura beore
he became manageable. Threats of
complete extermination forbid telling
of all the orgies. It will suSce to
say. however, that the evening ended
wita a. rich feed, after which the new
went home, sadder but wiser
Phi Delta Psi, the honorary pharma
ceutical fraternity, now has a new
home at 1644 E street. This fraternity
has a large number of members and
promises to become a live organiza
tion in University affairs. There will
be many pledges initiated at the
house opening next Friday night.
Great plans are being made, and in
all probability the outcome will be
highly successful.

fore the University authorities will

ing that the play is to be given at the
Oliver Theatre. The Junior Play this

At a meeting of the athletic board
yesterday, eighteen men were award
ed "N"s for their work on the foot
ball squad this year. The honored
ones were Captain Halligan, Howard,
Potter, Rutherford, Cameron, Abbott,
Balis, Chamberlain, DeLamatre, Doyle,
Hawkins, Corey, Shields. Gross, Caley.
Porter, Selzer and Fouts. More let
ters. were awarded this year than for
several seasons, due to the large num
ber of strong contenders for the vari
ous positions.
Immediately following the awarding
of he letters the squad met and de
cided upon a leader for the 1915 team,
the- honor going to Dick Rutherford,
the wonderful left half, whose work
on the 1913-14 teams has won for him
the admiration and respect of all who
have seen him play, and especially of
those who have had occasion to play
against him. There is a general feel
ing on the campus that Rutherford
will make an ideal captain for next
year's Cornhuskers.
Word has leaked out that the con
ference meeting at Lincoln last week
considered the question of allowing
Thanksgiving Day games in the fu
ture, and that they decided to recom
mend to the various athletic boards
that the scheduling of Turkey Day
games be permitted in the future.
Coach- Stiehm said last night that if
tbe conference schools acted favor
ably on the plan Nebraska will prob
ably schedule such a game, although.

that all members attend. The meet

the work for the year will be dis

meeting will take.
The second all-University mixer mill

tbe mixer, they are discouraged in
order that the mixer may accomplish

At the last meeting, where about nine
hundred were present, the committee
got an idea as to what forms of
amusement are enjoyed by tbe stu
dents, and also how many to provide
for. With this information the affair
can very likely be. more successful
than before. Scott's orchestra has
been secured and the gymnasium will
be used for dancing. Several clever
stunts have been planned and games
will be played by those who do not
dance.
