Aid islPromised Dog in Excavating
After He is Unable to Go Farther
Excavating; in tho basement of
Long's book store has boon stopped
temporarily.
After a day's hard work, tho dog
who started digging in tho basement
of tho store Tuesday afternoon was
forced to stop when ho struck a sub-
stanco which was so hard that oven
his tough hard paws could make no
impression.
Employees at tho store who ar
rived early Wednesday morning
found the strange dog still at his
work. Tho hole which ho had dug
was beginning to cause some trouble.
Although the canine had foresight to
make the cavity almost four feet in
diameter the dirt was harder and
harder to throw out. Any annoyanco
during tho morning was resented and
the dog nearly bit one of tho clerks
who bothered him.
Stopping for rest only a few min
utes the animal kept busily at his
work until noon. Probably feeling
the pangs of hunger the dog whined
and started walking around the base
ment. Red Long, who Jias shown an
interest in the dog's expedition, or
dered some meat and bones given the
worker. The dog gulped the meal
in A hurry and lay down in the hole
for a short nap.
As soon as the dog rested for a
short time he started digging again
witK renewed vigor. Nothing seemed
to stop him and he threw dirt out of
the hole rapidly. At four o'clock he
had deepened the hole to about four
feet Employees as well as several
students watched the performance
with great interest.
Civil Engineering
Society Will Meet
The American Society of Civil En
gineers will meet in Mechanic Arts

A business discussion and committee
reports on Engineers' Week will be
taken up.
ANNUAL BIZAD
DAY PLANNED
Traditional Holiday Set for
Friday, May 1 Commit
tees Now Working.
BIG MAY DAY DANCE
TO BE FINAL EVENT
The annual Bizad Day has been set
for Friday, May 1. The traditional
holiday will be observed by all stu
dent and faculty members in the Col
lege of Business Administration. The
committees aro hard at work perfect
ing plans for the big fete, and have
promised several new things in the
line of entertainment.
The traditional football game be
tween the "Laws" and "Bizads" will
probably be replaced by a baseball
game or a polo match. It has been
rumored that some of the members
of the faculty have been training in
preparation for the annual tug-of-war.
The closing event of the day will
be the big May Day dance in the eve
ning. The committee promises that
this will be one of the best events of
the program. The success of the day
will determine the action of the com
mittee in granting a day off in years
to come, according to the commit
tee. The objection has been made that
students like to take the day off but
do not attend the program, which
cannot be a success "without the back
ing of the entire college. Many in
the past have taken this opporunity
to go home a day earlier.
A football game with the College
of Agriculture was one of the fea
tures of last year's Bizad day. Track
and field events and a baseball game
were also held in the afternoon. Due
to the lateness of the event this year
some of the sports will probably be
omitted, but the May Day date will
furnish plenty of material for the
committee by way of entertainment.
HOLD FRESHMAN PRACTICE
Firatjrear Baseball AipiranU Given
Workout.
About twenty-five men reported
for freshman baseball practice yes
terday afternoon. Practically all of
the practice period was spent in
buntine and fielding practice, ine
men were also given some instruc
tion in base-running.
The freshman sauad will practice
alone until they have become versed
in the fundamentals of the game.
Within the next few weeks they will
play practice games with the Var
sity.
The last live presidents of the
United States have been college fra
ternity men.
THE UNIVERSITY OP NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA,
Just boforo closing time tho dog
seemed to strike a hard substanco
which proved an obstacle to him. No
headway could be made and he-l
seemed unnblo to copo with this new
situation. When ho hnd tried tho
bottom at several different places ho
started whining and barking. Final
ly in despair tho dog pulled at tho
pant legs of a student obsorvcr and
tried to pull him into tho hole. By
standers concluded that tho dog
wanted help.
Red Long has decided to dig furth
er into tho hole on the belief that
tho dog has really found something.
Several interested students are to
appear at the store this morning to
help with the excavating. Mr. Long
firmly believes that something will
come of tho strange exploration into
the basement corner.
Some of the dirt will bo on displny
today to show the strange quality of
tho soil taken from the hole by the
dog. An examination is being made
in one of the laboratories and the pe
culiarities of the earth should be an
alyzed in a day or so.

TO PRINT LISTS
AFTER CAMPAIGN
Will Publish Names of Stu
dents Who Have Complet
ed Pledge Obligations.
INCLUDE STANDINGS
OF ORGANIZATIONS
A list of all students who havo
completely met their obligations to
tho Nebraska Memorial Stadium As
sociation will bo published in Tho
Daily Nebraskan and both Lincoln
papers about May 1, it was announc
ed yesterday. Besides this list of
individuals, a list of campus organi
zations and the percentage of their
members paid up will bo printed.
Organizations and their standings
will be published because the origi
nal drive several years ago was run
on an individual and organization
basis. ,
Recent indications were that the
number of those who have been de
linquent for a year or more are go
ing to pay up more quickly than they
have in the past. Yesterday twenty
eight percent of the total receipts
was from delinquents, an increase
over twenty per cent the day before.
Delinquents should be paying seventy-eight
per cent of tho amount, and
as yet figure" do not show nny sensa
tional rise to that amount.
Out of the 1500 students who hold
signed pledges, only 200 have paid at
the booth. An increase in the amount
is expected today, those in charge
said, because students havo had a
chance to think the matter over, and
the natural tendency to let it drag
longer should disappear.
In two weeks, a personal solicita
tion campaign will be started, in
which every delinquent will be per
sonally visited.- This campaign will
be in charge of the Innocents.

MAKE PROGRAM
FOR BUILDING
Approximately $600,000 Will
Probably Be Spent Within
Next Two Years.
IS NOT SUFFICIENT
FOR GREATEST NEEDS
Approximately $600,000 will pro
bably be expended within the next
two years in carrying out a build
ing program on the city campus of
the University, according to an an
nouncement by Chancellor Avery
Wednesday afternoon.
The sum appropriated by the
legislature -for building purposes'Ior
the biennium period, although larger
than the sum for tho two year period
under the proposed one-eighth mill
levy for ten years plan, is not suffi
cient to construct the buildings most
needed at present.
Most prominent in the proposals
for the use of this appropriation are
a Library; Dental building; Electri
cal Engineering building; heating
and power plant; museum of Na
tural History, School of Fine Arts,
and Auditorium in one building; ob
servatory; addition to Teacher's Col
lege; Business Administration build
ing; Observatory; and a Gymnasium.
Campus dormitories will probably
be destroyed to make room for the
projects. The old T Street dormi
tory, most antiquated of the cam
pus homes, has already been vacated
and is being wrecked. R Street dor
mitories are thought to be in line for
removal when the building program
is definitely decided upon.
The problem confronting the Uni
versity officials is of providing the
facilities most lacking, yet not de
feating the ends sought for by fur
nishing space that will become inade
quate in a few years, following cer
tain departmental expansion.
