Student May Reserve Seatt
Wednesday Morning for
Athletic Contests.
$7.50 IS SPECIAL PRICE

Tickets for all athletic contests In
which the University of Nebraska
participates as a dual contestant are
to 0 on sale Wednesday morning,
September 23, at 8 o'clock. A booth
will be erected on tbo campus to
take care of all those who wish to
purchase tickets. These tickets are
for students of the University and
will sell nt $7.50.
Students of the Ag College must
purchase their tickets at tho city
cnmpuB, because it has been found
inadvisable to erect a booth any
where but on the city campus. Choice
seats would have ta be divided if
more than one booth were to be
erected and this would lead to too
much confusion in the sale of the
tickets.
The tickets this year are some
what different than those of previ
ous years. On one end of the ticket
there is a reservation for the foot
ball frames and on the other end a
reservation for basket ball frames.
This new phase in student accomo
dation for basketball games is due
to the building of the new field
house auditorium, which will be com
pleted before the basketball oseason
opens. A seat reserved in the sta
dium will be good for a correspond
ing seat in the auditorium. This new
idea, which will make it much easier
to pain admittance to the basketball
games, should encourage more stu
dents, particularly women, to attend
as there will not be the rush end
crush that was so evident when the
games were played in the Armory.
Those in charge of the ticket sale
stnte that the first to purchase tic
kets will get the choice of location
as there will be no reservations mad?
before the opening of the ticket sale.
However, any organization may ob
tain tickets in a block. Only three
hundred will be able to gain admit
tance to the rooting section and as
the quota is rapidly being filled up,
it is advisable for any persons wish
ing to join to jut in their applica
tion immediately.
Athletic tickets are being sold to
the students at as low a price as pos
sible and it is hoped that they will
refrain from buying these tickets for
outsiders. Not only does this prac
tice weaken the student rooting sec
tion but it will eventually lead to a
raise in price of student athletic
tickets.

Will Hold "Welcome Party" for
New Students Saturday Evening
Freshmen venturing into the un
certainties of their first blind date;
freshmen doing the Charlestown to
the tunc of any well known waltz;
freshmen impressing the sophisticat
ed sorority girl with the home town
line; freshmen wondering why the
girls they met at Open House didn't
recognize them. Upperclassmen do
ing about the same thing. Musician
soothing the swaying crowd with
memory-laden Ftrains of a moonlight
waltz, then whipping them to life
and frenzy with a fast, catchy fox
trot. Corners filled with stags mak
ing repeated visits to the punch bowl.
Such, so the collegiate historian
I tells us, is a glimpse into one of the
:,nost popular social functions of the
Party," held in honor of the incom
ing freshman class and sponsored by
the All-University party committee.
This entertainment is one of the
first opportunities given to the tts

NEBRASKA HALL
TO BE REPAIRED
Chancllor Avery Announces
Temporary Closing of
Unsafe Building
AFFECTS 1500 STUDENTS
Classes will be held at Original
Hours but in Different
Meeting Places.
Nebra.ska Hull is closed for repairs.
A heavy outward thrust of the roof
on tho walls, combined with the poor
quality of the mortar, has resulted in
final condemnation of the building
for use in its present condition, ac
cording to a statement made public
by Chancellor Avery Monday.
The danger of collapse has been
imminent for more than sixteen
years, but reenforccmetits from time
to time have strengthened it suffici
ently for use.
Classes for the 1500 students af
fected will take place nt the original
hours but at diffrent meeting places,
as announced in the stat ment of the
Chancellor which follows:
"The following statement applies
to Nebraska Hall located on the
northeast corner of the old campus.
It does not apply to apply to Univer
sity Hall, the old main building, which
is often confused with Nebraska Hall.
University Hall, the oldest building
on the campus, was strengthened
with structural steel and heavy rods
a number of years ago, and is pro
nounced reasonably safe for the
present.
"As the result of a conference
held on an emergency call yesterday
afternoon at which were present Mr.
Seaton, operating superintendent,
Professor Kesner, structural engi
neer, Colonel Jewett, commandant
of cadets, Ellcry, Davis and H. W.
Meginm's, architects, and the Chan
cellor, it was decided to close Ne
braska Hall until s'-eh structural
changes in the building can be made
so as to render it safe.
Nebraska Hall was erected in '87
and housed practically all the scien
tific departments of the University
except chemistry. When erected it
was large and pretentious for the
sum expended. The mortar in the
walls was of very poor quality. The
roof was so designed as to bring a
heavy outward thrust on the walls,
which soon developed ominous
cracks. Nearly twenty-five years
ago a portion of the wall on the
southwest corner was removed and
replaced with better masonry. The
structural weakness in connection
with the roof, however, remained.
Some sixteen years ago at the re
quest of the Chancellor, Dean Rich
ards, afterwards of the University
of fllinois and now president of Le
high, made an examination, condem
ned the building, and recommended
that it be demolished. The demands
for the room, however, made the
carrying out of this recommendation
difficult and Dean Richards, while
disclaiming responsibility, said in-
j formally that he presumed the build
ing would stand for a number of
years. The University authorities
i reluctantly took the chance after
tieing in a portion of the walls with
steel rods.
"The building since that time has
been under constant scrutiny. Fur
ther evidence of a tende'V to col-
j lapse becoming apparent about four
I years ago, a committee consisting of
the supeuntendent of grounds and
j buildings, Regent John R. Webster
of Omaha, and the Chancellor, gave
it very careful scrutiny. At this
time it was decided that it might be
made relatively safe for a few years
longer by the further application of
heavy steel rods. This was done, and
no further tendency of the walls to
collapse was noticed until recently.
"Very recently a tendency had
been noticed on the part of the walls
to break away from that portion
tied by the steel rods. It now be
comes evident that the walls may
collapse in spite of the reinforce
ment. This tendency was apparently
aggravated by wind in the late sum
mer and fall.
"The interior brick walls of the
building are apparently entirely
sound. The exterior walls, though
not well built, show no tendency to
collapse except above the third floor
where the heavy Toof -with its out
ward thrust has a tendency to rock.
