FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 1915
Believing that field and track ath
letics are worthy of the attention ind
support of the student body, the Ne
braskan is devoting this issue to
these sports. In most western schools
the interest in 'spring athletics is far
ahead of that at Nebraska. Twenty
thousand people saw the relay meet
at Des Moines two weeks ago. At a
recent dual meet at Missouri four
thousand people were in attendance.
Last year when Nebraska went to
Kansas twenty-three hundred people
turned out to see the meet. But the
attendance at meets here has usually
been small.
The track men are working hard
they deserve at least the reward of
enthusiastic support at the meets.
Ames will be here tomorrow. It is as
necessary that we uphold the reputa
tion of Nebraska in this contest
against Ames as that we defeat them
in football. We have a track team
that will bring honor to Nebraska be
fore the season is over. Let's get out
Tomorrow and show them that we
have confidence in their ability to
make good.
a decided improvement. The removal
of the noise factory south of the Law
building would help some. Some ss
tematic scheme of parks, walks, and
boulevards should be adopted so that
these improvements might come grad
ually with the building up of the Uni
versity. The city paid out a neat
little sum not long ago to an expert
for plans for a "city beautiful." The
section about the University evidently
was not considered lii the plan.
It is time the University men who
are voters should take an active in
terest in the government of this city.
They should turn out Tuesday and
vote for the men who have a con
structive program for civic betterment
which, among other things, will mean
a cleaning up of the district adjacent
to the University.

TO THE VOTERS
Next Tuesday the voters of Lincoln

The Question of issuing bonds for
parking purposes along Salt creek
south of O street toward Antelope
Park. No doubt that is a very worthy
project, but we submit that there are
certain spots in the immediate vicin
ity of the campus that need parking
and improvement even more than the
strip down along Salt creek. In view
of the fact that the state is preparing
to spend several million dollars in
improving and extending the Univer
sity campus, it seems reasonable that
the city of Lincoln should do their
part in making this part of town more
beautiful. There are unsightly build
ings within a block of the campus
that are a disgrace to the city. They
would be bad enough down on the
creek bottom, but to be immediately
adjacent to the campus is an injus
tice to the University. The corner
just across from the Law building,
which is now used a's a sort of a
market square, if parked would make

' GUY E. REED
Guy E. Reed, present assistant di
rector of athletics and secretary of
the Alumni Association, is a graduate
of Holdrege High School and the Uni
versity of Nebraska. He is one of
the greatest track men Nebraska has
produced, holding the University
record in the 220 and 440 yard dashes
and for several years the Missouri
Valley record in the 440, with a time
of 1.0 seconds. He tied for second
place in the 220 yard dash at the pre
liminaries for the Olympic games in
1912.
Mr. Reed became assistant director
of athletics in 1912 and secretary of
the Alumni Association in 1913. In
the latter capacity he is well known
among the Nebraska alumni for his
ability as an organizer and Lis success
in keeping up their interest in the
University. He is resjected by the
students not only because of his abil
ity as a coach, but also because of
his personality and determination to
keep Nebraska at the top in whatever
she undertakes.
