THE TEMPLE AS A
STUDENT UNION
"MAKE EXAMPLE" OF
EDGAR D. KIDDOO
(Continued from page 1)
That a Student Union is desirable
is probably conceded by all. The chief
"obstacle to its establishment is the
lack of financial means. This is the
reason why a long, steady, growth is
necessary. The most we can do at
present Is to give the Union a start
that will mean real things to the Ne
braska of. the future.
But the magnitude of the begin
ning is probably the matter over
which there will be the most conten
tion. We could follow the line of
least resistance and appoint a commit
tee to investigate. It would probably
fail to report and the matter would
be dropped. On the other hand, we
can establish a real, material founda
tion and at the end of this school
year see the Union well on its way to
realization. The latter method will
be about four years in advance of the
former, and that is why we favor it.
We have at Nebraska an excellent
opportunity along'this line. Th Tem
ple building would be a proper place
to house the Union during its early
youth. It was completed primarily for
the use of student activities. It has
since been turned into money making
institution and used by any organiza
tioh in town that desires it. The
present method of handling it is de
cidedly unfair to the students.
We contend, therefore, that the
Temple building should be restored o
the students at the earliest possible
date; that the students should perfect
the organization of a Student Union
which will hold forth in the Temple
until a larger building is needed.

Chlefi Statement
The chief declared that he did not
know that to be the case, and If it
was, he was surprised that there were
so many fools in the university. Re
ferring especially to Klddoo, Chief
Antles declared: "I didn't think they
had such a fool In the university."
Klddoo's experience seems a bit
more unfortunate than tnat or uaipn
Sturm, against whom a complalut of
breaking the speed law was made a
short time ago by Officer Snyder.
Sturm was dismissed when the officer
admitted that his prejudice agahst
students in general might have In
fluenced him In making the arrest.

CHAMBERLAIN ENTERS
PROFESSIONAL RANKS
BRIEF BITS OF HEWS
During spring vacation Dean Eng
berg's office was refinlshedVlth a new
coat of paint.
Prof. Lawrence Fossler gave an il
lustrated lecture at the state farm
last Friday on "Glimpses of Germany."
Former Cornhusker Grid Star to Play
Baseball with Wichita Team
In Western League
Last week the flower beds on the
campus were spaded up and prepared
for the plants that have been kept in
the greenhouses during the winter.
The college of agriculture has pre
pared for free distribution a bulletin
on bird study. The topics Include
resident birds, migratory birds, spring
migratory errivals, etc.
Twenty county fair associations
have asked for the agricultural col
lege exhibit for the coming season. It
Is planned to send the exhibit this
year through the country north of the
Platte river.
Guy Chamberlain, for two years Ne
braska's most sensational football
player, who was lost to the 1916 Corn
huskers when It was discovered that
his playing at Wesleyan filled up his
allotted time In college football, has
entered the ranks of professional
sports. Guy has reported to the Wich
ita baseball team for spring practice,
and will try out for a place on the
sauad" as a pitcher.
Little Is known at the university j
about Chamberlain's ability to stick in '
the Western league as a ball player.
His baseball experience here was
gained only in fraternity athletics, at
best a doubtful test of a man's abil-j
ity. As a pitcher for the Betas, it
is said that when right, Chamberlain
had a world of speed.
It is rumored that he agreed to
play with Wichita only on condition
that he be not required to play Sun
day baseball. Chamberlain signed
with Wichita after numerous reports
had been set afloat that he would pitch
for the Indianapolis, American asso
ciation team. Whether or not Cham
berlain makes an immediate success
as a pitcher, It goes without saying
that he will prove a big drawing card
in the cities of the Western league
circuit, where his fame as a football
player is well known.
Lincoln McConnelL who is conduct-
in a Berles of revival meetings for
the five Lincoln downtown churches.
will speak to the students of the

ton in co-operation with the agricul
tural extension service.

TENNIS COURTS IN FAIR
SHAPE BACKSTOPS UP
Work of setting up the long-promised
backstops for the tennis courts
was begun Satnrday morning. It will
be possible to play now without run
ning blocks after the balls, or bribing
some youngster to "pig-tail" for them.
The courts are in fairly good condi
tion, but need a thorough sprinkling
and rolling before they will be hard
enough for fast play. Meanwhile no
apparent move has been made toward
razing the houses east of the present
courts, so that the crying demand for
more space for tennis can be met.

AT INDIANA UNI.
Former Coach "Jumbo" Stiehm, who
piloted the Cornhuskers through, five
successful seasons ending last fall, has

diana university, according to news
dispatches from Bloomington, Ind.
