DELAYED EDITION OF
' "AWGWAN" APPEARED
"Law Number" Out at Last With
Plenty of Humor and Portrayal
of Life In the Law College
Prof. Joseph Alexis returned Mon
day from Genoa and Newman Grove,
where he gave an illustrated lecture
on Scandinavia.
Dr. F. M. Fling, who for a number
of weeks has been giving lectures be
fore the Suffrage Association in Oma
ha, will be entertained Tuesday even
ing at dinner at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ilalleck Rose in Omaha. The
lecture this evening is the fifth in the
serleB.
UNI FUNDS REDUCED
(Continued from page 1)
for maintenance, the committee
specifies that $10,000 of the mainten
ance appropriation 6hall be used as a
revolving fund for the hog cholera
serum plant at the state farm.
V. J. Taylor'B demand for itemized
appropriations all along the line and a
complete separation of the university
finances from those of the state farm
is thus turned down by the committee.
It is understood that Mr. Taylor may
make another fight on the floor to
itemize the appropriations according
to his ideas.
The committee makes one conces
sion to Taylor'a views by including a
proviso in the bill directing the board
of regents to show in its next biennial
report separate financial statements
for the Omaha medical college, the
Curtis school of agriculture, the uni
versity departments of agriculture,
botany, entomology lgeislative refer
ence, agricultural extension, conserva
tion and geological surveys, agricul
tural - substations, hog cholera serum
production, and all other activities of
the university.
Recommendation is made that an
efficiency agent be employed by the
regents to look after the business or
financial affairs of the institutions.
This will practically relieve Secretary
J. Stuart Dales of his heaviest work
but there is no intention to supersede
Mr. Dales In his position. The com
mittee believes that the regents should
secure a thoroughly capable man as
efficiency agent and give him large
authority.
Noappropriation whatever is made
for the agricultural experiment sta
tions at Culbertson and Valentine. On
the other hand, the bill as amended
by the committee directs the regents
to sell the property and equipment at
those places. The money derived from
the sale is to be turned Into the uni
versity cash fund and thereafter ex
pended for building up the agricultural
school at Curtis and the experiment
station at North Platte.
FORESTRY CLUB
HEARS LECTURE
Professor Bengston Addresses Club
on Forestry and Soil Problems
in Nebraska
Professqr Bengston gave a lecture
laBt night in Nebraska Hall before the
Forestry Club on "Forestry Problems
and Soil Survey." The tenor of the
lecture was a plea for the systemiza
tion of the work, for the correlation
of the forestry and soil survey into a
form that would be practical and bene
ficial.
He showed that the authorities know
in a general way something of the
lowland formation of trees, also some
thing of the slope land and highland
formation. He emphasized the fact
that they do not know how much for
est land there is in the state, and par
ticularly do not know what land is
best adapted to forest reserves or to
fruit trees from an economical stand
point.
He strongly advocated, therefore,
some system of maps to be made in
the next forest survey.
At the next meeting stereopticon
views will be shown illustrating typ
ical topography and soil correlation in
the state. Views of the transitional
stages of the soil in the east and
southeastern part of the state to the
typical high plains of the west end
will be given.
Conditions in the Sand Hills, Pine
Ridge, and in the Bad Lands will be
treated in particular. The views are
based on a regional basis and attempt
to show general, typical, and average
conditions throughout the state.
The belated edition of the "Awswan"
entitled the "Law Number" appeared
on the campus yesterday morning. It
contained some of the late Jokes and
several of the earlier ones, but on the
whole was a good portrayal of Univer
sity life as found in the Law building.
Fifty non-subscribers bought copies
in the Law College yesterday morning
and the eleven o'clock classes were
taken up by reading and discussing the
number. Doctor Maxey was the only
one of the students who appeared to
resent the pictures in the publication.
He refused to discuss it, however, at
a late hour last night. As the re
porter left his home, the Doctor called
after him, "No criminal law class In
the morning. I must control my in
dignation before I appear before my
classes."

Bequests Property to His Wife
Books and Botanical Apparatus
to Sons
Brief and marked by simplicity is
the last will of the late Dean Charles
E. Bessey, for many years head of the
botanical department of the univer
sity of Nebraska. The document, filed
for probate in the county court Tues
day, was written in his own hand, as
follows:
"This is my last will.
"In the event of my death before
my beloved wife, Lucy A. Bessey, I
wish all my property to pass to her,
and I hereby appoint her to take
charge of my estate. I wish her to
give my son, Ernst, all of my botanical
books, specimens and apparatus. I
wish further to have her give to my
son Carl such books and materials as
he may care for, and likewise to my
grandson, Charles, the infant son of
my deceased son Edward, when he
shall have grown up.
"After the death of my wife the re
maining portion of the estate shall be
divided among my heirs, namely:
Ernst, Carl and my grandson, Charles.
"Done this 5th day of October, 1911.
"CHARLES E. BESSEY."
Dean Bessey died February 2, 1915,
leaving a private library, herbariums
and botanical apparatus valued at
about $2,500. He had no real estate.
The widow petitioned for the probate
of the will.

Alexis Undecided
Prof. J. A. Alexis of the state uni
versity, who has been offered a pro
fessorship in the University of Utah,
said Tuesday morning that he had not
decided whether or not he will accept
the position.
A number of faculty members of
the University of Utah resigned re
cently following the dismissal of four
professors. Tt has been charged that
the dismissals resulted from the fact
that the instructors were not in sym
pathy with the Mormons. After the
appointment of Professor Alexis, Salt
Lake City newspapers made inquiries
regarding his religious affiliations and
his training: Professor Alexis is a
member of the Swedish Lutheran
church and has been active in its work
since his boyhood. His father was a
Swedish Lutheran minister and was
ordained in 1882.
