The Daily Nebraskan VOL. XVIII. NO. C9 UNIVERSITY OF NERRASKA, LINCOLN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1919 PRICE FIVE CENTS BUILDING PROBLEM IS WELLHANDLED Regents Direct Expenditure of Legislative Appropriation for Permanent Improvements Foresee Need For More Extensive Equipment New Buildings Must Be Provided The biennial report of the board of regents to the governor shows an economical expenditure of the fund for new buildings made available by the legislature. Upon the farm campus the dairy laboratory, the heating and power plant, the horse barn and the laboratory for agricul tural engineering have been complet ed and are being used. On the city campus Bessey hall and the chemis try laboratory have been finished and are now occupied. The teachers' col lege high school and the Social Sci ence building will soon be ready for use. The use of the latter for S. A. T. C. barracks delayed work on it. Improvements of a permanent char acter have been accomplished by means of this fund as authorized by previous legislatures, although the building program has been hampered by the government restrictions. Con struction on a veterinary pathologi cal laboratory on the farm campus was prevented for a time, but it is now un der way and Is being pushed with all speed possible. New Buildings Are Needed The board of regents said that ow ing to the imperative needs of the in stitution and the urgent demands for space, further equipment In the way of buildings must soon be provided. Some of the suggestions for buildings needed on the city campus are gym nasiums, an astronomical observatory, a museum building, a library building, an auditorium, additions to the power and heating plant, and to the engineer ing building. On the farm campus an auditorium, gymnasium, library, orm ory and administrative quarters are needed. The dormitory problem may become a serious one in the near future. Most important schools, who have not al ready done so. are erecting dormitor ies for the compulsory residence of underclassmen. COACHES OF WRESTLING WANT MORE MATERIAL The coaches have issued a call for more candidates for the wrestling teams. A comparatively small nun ber have been out so far, with repre sentatives of only two classes. There b a good chance for new men to make a showing and win places on the va rious teams. In contest wrestling there are six classes. Special light weight, up to 125 pounds; light weight, op to 135 Pounds; welter weight, up to 145 Pounds; middle weight, up to 158 Pounds; light heavy weight, up to 175 Pounds; heavy weight, over 175 Pounds. There is one representative of each of these classes in an inter collegiate meet, and all but freshmen tT eligible. A regular home contest Is held every 'ear to determine the university champion, and all men, including toymen, are eligible for this contest Tie Ames match will be held Febni 7 15 or 22, and the coaches are now negotiating for a meet with Iowa uni versity. TAKE THEM AT ONCE American Soldiers May Pursue Education in Europe The American University Union In Europe, according to a letter and bul letin Just received at the chancellor's office, Is making plans to aid Ameri can college men in service abroad in availing themselves of the opportu nities to continue their studies. The possibilities of study in French. Brit ish and other universities and higher oviiuuia ui learning in fciurope are great, especially during the period of demobilization, and a number of Am ericans will undoubtedly remain In Eu rope to pursue their studies. The bulletin, which has been sent to as many college men abroad as could be reached, outlines a plan for preliminary steps to be taken regard ing the pursuit of higher education. The general administration of educa tional work for the American mili tary forces is vested in the army overseas educational commission of the Y. M. C. A., whose chairman is Professor Erskine of Columbia uni versity. This commission was oppoint- ed by the Y. M. C. A. in consultation with the trustees of the American University Union in Europe, whose chairman, Secretary Stokes of Yale university, acted as educational di rector for the Y. M. C. A. during the winter of 1917. He prepared two mem oranda outlining a general educa :ional program for the period of the war, and for the period of demobili- FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT CHANGES ITS SCHEDULE Professor Grummann Makes An nouncement of Courses Offered For Next Semester Professor Paul Grummann. dean of the fine arts school, has announced the following changes which will be come effective in the department next semester. Fine arts 16, art and design as ap plied to the home, will be separated into two divisions of smaller groups of students, with much more illustra tive material than heretofore. The course will cover, in general outline, the history of furniture, tapestries, ceramics and general design. Course 15, or an equivalent, is required for entrance to this course. Professor Dann's class in Dutch and Flemish nainters is a three hour course this year instead of a two hours course as in previous years. Prof. Grummann will conduct a class in history of the theater, a course in comtemporary continental drama in English translation which includes es pecially the dramatic movement from 1850 to the present, and a course in musical drama. The latter takes up the study of librettos of famous operas and musical dramas, together with il lustrations on the victrola. The elocution department will offer the second semester a beginners' course in such a manner as to enable students to cover the work of both the first and the second semester and receive five hours' credit. This is a special arrangement for those coming back into the university who could not be here the first of the year. Men discharged from the S. A. T. C. and army camps may register also for the university players' course, without having had the first semester's nrk This course Is open to advanced students and those having special anil ration, which were officially approv ed by General Pershing, In February, 1918. The following paragraph is quoted rrom the bulletin: "That which im mediately concerns American college men is the opportunity offered dur ing the period of demobilization for 6tudy in foreign universities. Within a few weeks an army order will be LS?Ued iV,ng deta,led lnformation The immediate steps to be taken by those desiring to present themselves as candidates to be accorded leave to pursue study abroad are these: (1) to file a preliminary application with the applicant's commanding officer; (2) to forward to Professor Erskine, 10 rue de l'Elysee, Paris, a written statement giving concisely and speci fically (a) the applicant's previous college training and qualifications for advanced study; (b) the branch of study he prefers to follow; (c) the (he place of study he prefers (for ex ample France, Great Britain, Italy.) If the applicant wishes to study in France or in Italy he should state his knowledge of the language; (d) ex tent to which applicant could meet his expenses." The American University Union in Europe has been of invaluable ser vice during the period of the war, and during the coming period of demobili zation will continue to be of the ut ity, entrance being granted only by permission of the instructor. The class will probably present at least two big plays and several one-act plays for occasions such as pageants, all-university night and city functions. TODAY WILL SEE END OF AWGWAN CAMPAIGN Today is the last day to subscribe to the Awgwan before the first issue appears. Sc-en girls will be on the campus the entire day to sell subscrip tions and the Awgwan office in the basement of the University hall will be open all day to receive them Seventy-five cents will give each stu dent a chance to get his name on the list in time to get the first issue. There will be six issues of the mag azine thJ!s year. The first is the "Reconstruction" number for January; the second, the "Anniversary" number fpr February; the third, the "Formal" number for March: the fourth, the "Foolish Frivolous" number for April; the fifth, the "Spring" number for May; and the sixth, the "Commence ment" number for June. The following issues will be out promptly the first of each month. Be cause of some delay in the colored art work of the cover the first issue has been delayed. The girls who will take subscrip tions on the campus all day today are: Patricia Maloney. Doris Hostetter. Vivian Hanson. Ruth Lindsay. Donna Gustin. Madeline Girard.

(DirsDiIiiiLflsCieD' most importance. The Paris head quarters have been extremely active, registrations in persons running from 120 to 150 daily. Men from practi cally four hundred different colleges, universities, and higher technical schools of America, have registered with the Union since its beginning. The registration files and catalogues of both the London and Paris offices are constantly consulted for Informa tion regarding the whereabouts of friends and relatives. The members of the Union and college bureaus have for months past visited the sick and wounded in the military hospitals of France, sometimes being responsible for reporting casualties to those at home. They have also overcome many difficulties of transportation, ship ment and distribution of supplies to members of the American Expedition ary Forces. Very commendable also, is the manner in which the Union has, to the extent of their ability, met the often pressing financial needs of wounded and other men In service. "The Union," writes the executive committee, "has been actively inter ested from the outset in the plans for educational work for the American forces." They are preparing to do their utmost in assisting in the organ ization of educational plans, and to be a source of help and information to college men abroad who wish to con tinue their studies. STUDENT DIRECTORIES OUT EARLY NEXT WEEK Books Completed Tuesday or Wednesday After Long Delay in Publication The student directories that have been long delayed because of the un settled state of affairs at school this year are to be out Tuesday or Wed nesday of next week. Proof has been taken and the books are now being printed. Work is being rushed so that they may be completed as soon as possible. The presence of the S. A. T. C. was largely responsible for the failure to get out directories earlier in the year. With men leaving every week for camps and others dropping out of school for various reasons, it was practically impossible to do anything on the order of getting a list of names and addresses of students In. school. Another problem was caused by the extremely large enrollment this year, The number of male students regis tered at the first of the semester was almost larger than the entire enroll ment in normal years. Ruth Hutton, assisted by several committees of Y. W. C. A. workers, was chosen to collect material and publish the book. Work on it has been progressing as rapidly as could be expected. Directories can be purchased by stu dents fit various places on the campus as soon as they are completed. A lim ited number is being published, but it is desired that all who want directories should get them. When a young man comes out of college he must have confidence in himself, but he should not advertise his self-confidence. The trouble with most good people is that they make a business of it PLAY RINGS AROUND OMAHA BALLOONISTS Huskers Hand Visitors a Drubbing: to Tune of 32 to 14 in Prac tice Bout Last Night Jackson and Patty Star for Ne braskaThree Big Numbers on Friday's Bill Doc Stewart's basket loopers played rings around the much-lauded quintet from Fort Omaha balloon school in a whirlwind practice game last night In the Armory, stacking up 32 points to the visitors' 14. The Huskers clearly showed their superiority in every department of the game, displaying wonderful team work in the first half and shooting baskets with the accuracy of a Yankee gun ner. They lived up to all advance dope as to their all-star qualities and their playing 6howed careful and system atic coaching. The men were in the right places at the right time and the Omaha players were bewildered at times as they watched the ball flit back and forth under their noses and through their legs. The Balloonists may have been playing possum in this practice bout and holding back their predicted brill iance until the regular opening game tomorrow night. They fought hard throughout the battle, however, and were seldom caught napping or un prepared for Nebraska's maneuvers. The Observers started the scoring within three minutes after the first j tossup, but the Huskers came back and with a rush shot a string of five baskets and one free throw before the visitors could regain their equilibrium. Then an Omaha forward broke in with a pretty field goal from near the cen ter of the floor, which spurred Cap tain Jackson's ambition to do a sim ilar stunt and the Husker leader arch ed another pretty shot from the same locality which plunked through the ring. A short period of rather punk pass ing followed and then Gillilan scored a shot and Jackson missed a chance at a free throw. Patty annexed another goal and Gillilan and Patty followed with a basket apiece just aa the ref eree's whistle brought the first half to a close, the score standing, Ne braska 21 and Balloon School 8.

The earlier this is done the better opportunity there will be for good work. Many students have al ready answered the call and all others are urged to fall in line at once. Appointments are necessary and Mr. Townsend has arranged to work noon hours if no other time is available to the 6tudent. He is particularly wen equipped to do better work this year than ever before. All university eta dents should make it their duty to see that they are represented. TOWNSEND ANY TIME OF DAY
