LECTURE ON BRICK MAKING Manager of the Yankee Hill Brick Company Explains the Dif ferent Processes "Some Engineering Features in Brick Making" was the subject of a very instructive illustrated lecture by Mr. Richard Ferguson, manager of the Yankee Hill Brick Co., of Lincoln, given before the meeting of the Engi neering society, Tuesday evening, in M. E. 206. The address was so ar ranged that the development of the science of brick making from the very simplest to the most complicated pro cesses was shown. Mr. Ferguson first took up the chem istry of brick material, explaining how to select a good clay deposit for the location of a brick factory. Ho then showed views of the different kinds of brick machines for the dry and wet processes and pointed out the difficul ties encountered In the various types of machines. The process of manufac ture, cutting( repressing and drying was explained in detail. The address as a whole showed how closely the work of the mechanical, civil, and chemical engineer ia related in brick manufacture. Mr. Ferguson gave a general invitation to all University students to inspect the Yankee Hill brickyard at any time. Article by Nebraska Alumnus Michael F. Guyer, '97, professor of zoology at the University of Wiscon sin, has written a text book. "Being Well Born." Prof. Guyer received his degree from Nebraska In 1897 and as an assistant here in 1896 and 1897 POLITICS IS WAR The chairman of the Student Publication board. Dean O. V. P. Stout, yesterday refused to make a statement in regard to his re- quest for my withdrawal from the race for editor-in-chief of the Daily Nebraskan. I had filed for this office under the rules pub- lished by the board. Where such a drastic action as this Is taken, one might bo al- most Justified in supposing that some very grave charge had been placed against me. The board admits that such is Hot the case, but in order to relieve the candidate from any cloud - upon his integrity, I feel that the board should have issued a state- ment of the facts of the case. This Dean Stout has declined to do, hence the following: On January 10, Just three days before the date set for election and weeks after I had announced my intention of running, I re- ceived a letter from Dean Stout asking my withdrawal. At a Pub- lication board meeting that night I a6ked to be given a chance to meet those who Jiad made the charges of "unsatisfactory" work on may part as managing editor, and to be given a chance to put my case. The request was de- nied by the chairman. "The board is not here to be quizzed," he said. Under these conditions, I declined to withdraw. Hie let- ter I received also stated that the request had "the approval of the members of the Student Pub- lication board." In view of the fact that no meeting of the board was held to discuss the matter and that one member was never even notified of the proposed aa- lion, I must assert this statement is untrue and should be retracted. Because of the foregoing, I charge Dean Stout with taking improper methods to retire me from the race. I charge him with unfairness in asking me to with- draw without giving me a chance . . .k to hear the accusations me, meet the accusers, and de- fend myself. I charge him with exceeding his power when he made the request and when, with- out any formal action of the board, he ordered my name to be left off the ballot. I charge charge him with refusing to take steps to right the wrong when he learned of the injustice. I charge him with doing everything in his power to silence me without let- ting the question get to a vote to the students, to whom the board had promised that power. I charge him with causing the recent Irregularities In the Ne- braskan election, solely as an at- tack on me and an attempt to keep me from the office of editor- in-chief. Because of his arbi- trary action in keeping my name off the ballot when under the no- tices published, the students were given a right to elect, I charge him with bad faith toward the student body. The court over which he domi- nates has handed in its decision. I need not submit any evidence. tn ih rourt of Student Opin- ion, to which I was unable to ap- peal, because of Dean Stout s ac- tit tinna linn also deliberated and has brought In a verdict exonerating me and condemning him.
