CANT CONTRACT FOR
NEW FARM BUILDING
i WAR PBICE ADVANCE MAKES RE
VISION OF PLANS NECESSARY
Regents Establish New Course in
Marketing Cut Some Vaca
tions in Two
Instead of being able to let the con
tract for the agricultural engineering
building at the state farm as hoped,
the regents, meeting Tuesday night,
found that they might have to order
a revision in the plans of the struc
ture. So great an increase in the cost
of structural steel and other building
material has been made on account of
the European war, that the architect's
plans for the building, if followed,
would not allow its erection within
the appropriation of $140,000.
The regents referred the plans back
to the property committee of the
board, and it will work with the chan
cellor and the architect and endeavor
to find some means of holding down
the cost of the structure. A great
deal of disappointment has been mani
fested at the farm because of the im
possibility of letting the contract, as
it was hoped that work on the build
ing, which completes one of the quad
rangles, could start a't once.
The regents, in the morning, had
ordered a delay on the plans for the
social science building, until a study
of the plans could be made on an
efficiency basis. It is said that O. P.
Stewart, of the state superintendent's
Qffice, submitted a report on the
plans which showed that much space
would be wasted on rooms.
The vacations of the non-teaching
force of the university were cut in
just half, being reduced from four!
weeks to two. j
The regents ordered a course in
marketing to be established as a part
of the curriculum of the department
of commerce. During the past year
numerous requests have come to the
boartl from commercial bodies in the
state, including the Lincoln Commer
cial club, that a chair of marketing
be established at the university. This
was found impossible at this time on
account of the expense, but the course
was established and an appropriation
of $300 made for it

TENNIS HEN WORK
FORKANSAS TRIP
Team Will Be Chosen from Ellis,
Chatt, Gardiner and Watkins
From Harry Ellis, Orville Chatt,
James Gardiner and Philip Watkins
will be selected the tennis team that
will represent Nebraska in Kansas in
the first week in May. These four
men have been working out daily on
the courts, and three o them will bo
chosen to go south when the track
team goes down for the dual meet
with Kansas May 6.
Kansas university, the Kansas Ag
gies at Manhattan, and possibly Bak
er and one or two other schools will
be taken on by the racquet wielders.
All of the men are showing up in
fair shape and it is a toss-up who will
be discarded.
The team misses Charles Gardiner,
the captain, who left school to go
back to his Maryland farm. No cap
tain has yet been chosen to take Gar
diner's place, but the general direc
tion of the-squad is in charge of El

called the "silo" because of its re
semblance to that structure at the
farm campus, was put up to fill the
needs of the student body for a place
to post announcements. It is said that
the original plan was to have a re
volving tower so that all notices
would be equally conspicuous, but
this plan was never carried out.
The suggestion has been made that
the senior class this year devote its
surplus to the erection of a more ar
tistic place for announcements, and to
have it large enough to do away with
the necessity for the numerous small
bulletin boards in the buildings.

REGENTS PUT OFF
SINGLE TAX DECISION
The board of regents received the ;
petition for the Single Tax presented j
by The Daily Nebraskan, but no ac
tion was taken at the meeting this
week. The board adjourned to meet
next Tuesday, and it is possible that
final action will be taken on the mat
ter then. At a former meeting the
regents declared their willingness to
adopt the tax if it could be demon
strated that it is legal and right in
principle. Dean Hastings, of the law
college, has declared it legal; The
Daily Nebraskan has endeavored to
prove that the principle of it is right.
THE CONVICTS ENJOY
JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
"The Man of the Hour" Now Ready
for Public Production
The junior play cast presented
"The Man of the Hour" at the state
penitentiary last night before an au
dience of several hundred convicts,
who thoroughly enjoyed the play, and
indicated their appreciation by fre
quent applause.
The play was given in full costume,
in tho theatre that has been built at
the prison during the past year.
Louise Schavland, Don Marcellus,
Howard Wilson and the other mem
bers of the cast read their lines with
an artistry that indicates that the per
formance Friday at the Oliver is go
ing to measure up to the past years'
plays.
The play will be given another full
dress rehearsal at the Oliver theatre,
and then all will be ready for the rais
ing of the curtain tomorrow night.
The seat sale has been good, so
that the supply of choice seats has
already been almost used up. Indica
tions point to a financial as well as
dramatic success for the play.

QUAD INCREASES FOR

SEOOND PRACTICE
COREY MARSHALLS GRIDIRON
-HALANX FOR DRILL
Otoupalik, Hartman and Riddell, Vet
erans, Showed Up on ihs Field
for First Time
The second spring football practice
on Nebraska field yesterday afternoon
showed thirty-five men in uniform,
an increase of seven over the first
night of practice. Captain Corey mar
shalled the hosts on the field, and put
the boys through a series of capers
that is guaranteed to make a cham
pionship eleven out of them.
There was an ubiquitous photog
rapher on the field photographers
are always ubiquitous and he snap
ped a picture of the squad. When
he had finished, Otoupalik, who back
from his wrestling triumphs, showed
up for the first time at practice,
dodged around behind the stand and
ran for the gym.
- "Otoupalik, come back here," called
"Tim," and back "Ote" came.
The team then leap-frogged over
each other for about 200 yards, until
they were thoroughly out of wind,
when Corey ordered them twice
around the field. That done, they
went into the gym for a quick show
er and then home.
Otoupalik was not the only old
timer to show up for the first time
last night. Jack Hartman, sub-back-field
man last year, was out with the
squad, and so was Ted Riddell, end.
Ted looks like a good bet for one
of the stars this year, with the exper
ience gained from the 1015 season.
The track men were not idle, either.
They raced around the cinder path as
if there was a good square meal in
sight just around the turning. The
field men were out, too, and the pole
vaulters, high jumpers, and discus
throwers got in the way of the foot
ball men and vice versa for the mat
inee. Purdue
Chas. A. O'Donnell has been selected
to act as coach at Purdue next year. It
is stated that he has a wonderful
record as coach of Everett high
school.
MAY 19 DATE FOR
THE OMAHA TRIP
Plans Still Unsettled Await Parrish's
Return to City
Although the definite announcement
cannot be made, May 19 seems to be
the most favored day for the all
university trip to Omaha, where the
students will be the guests of the
Omaha Commercial club.
E. V. Parrish, manager of the
Omaha club, who will act as head
of the committee for Omaha for the
entertainment of the students, is ab
sent for a short time on business,
and the program for the reception of
the university necessarily awaits his
return. A noon luncheon, sight-seeing
trips to various points of Inter
est, and a varied entertainment are
among the features that will be pro
vided. Campus talk would indicate that at
least three-fourths of the students
will make the trip. The maximum ex
pense for railroad fare and unneces
sary, but probable incidentals, Is ex
pected to amount to $3.
