Chancellor Discusses the Future Of Two Oldest Buildings on Campus States That He is Deliberately Bring ing up the Question of What Shall be Done with Nebraska and Uni versity Halls. Chancellor Samuel Avery, writing in the October number of The Ne braska Alumnus discusses the future of the two old buildings on the cam pus, Nebraska Hall and University Hall. The Chancellor states that he is deliberately raising the question of what shall be done with the two old buildings to provoke discussion. The following is his discussion: In the case of Nebraska Hall the question has been rractically decided by forces stronger Uiin the Legisla ture, the Regents, the University officials, and the alumni. Gravita tion aided by wind, rain, and frost, threaten to demolish the building before the present attempt to make part of it last a little longer was begun. Here, too, considerations of sentiment had been in the main gratified. The chief claim to fame of the building is that it had sheltered the work of Professor Brace and Profes sor Bessey. Brace Hall for physics and Bessey Hall for the natural sci ences fully satisfy in the minds of the alumni the claims of sentiment. Everyone now says let the building be razed not only to the second story but to the lowest foundation wall as soon as possible. The case of University Hall is not quite parallel. To be sure, the build ing was condemned by competent architects a few years after it was built. However, the crumbling sand stone foundation was replaced years ago by limestone. More recently the building was girded with structural steel and tied together with rodsi of iron; but with the ever increasing numbers of stu dents, fire risk constantly grows in spite of the fact that fire escapes have been added from time to time. The danger from wind is ever present. When the cyclone passed over the Medical College campus in Omaha, the new laboratory building of steel and concrete was uninjured. Neighboring structures built like old U Hail went down like a stack of cards. The responsibility for the use of this building, where the wind and fire risk grows constantly, has been endured by the officials for over half a century. The risks increase year by year as the student body (Continued to Third Page.) HOFFMAN TO SPEAK ON STUDENT RELIEF Speaker Has Accomplished a Very Unusual Service in European Y. M. C. A. Work Mr. Conrad Hoffman, secretary of the World's Student Christian Fed eration, will speak at luncheon at the Grand Hotel, Monday, October 19. Mr. Hoffman was, before the World War, professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. Dur ing the war, he was in charge of the Y. M. C. A. work dealing with allied prisoners in Germany, a position de manding the confidence of both the Germans and Allies. At the close of the war, Mr. Hoff man stayed on in central Europe as i nf thp RtuHent relief work which is now known as the Inter national Student Service. It has been said of Mr. Hoffman that he waj the most useful Ameri can in Europe. Certainly, as the only man in charge of this phase of the Y. M. C. A. work, his may be considered a very unusual accom plishment. Mr. Hoffman is in the United States under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. and will talk on his experiences in Europe next Monday. Students and faculty are especially invited to attend. Ad mission will be twenty-five cents.

Executive Dean Makes Statement on Singing When approached on the sub ject of singing school songs in the class room Executive Dean Carl C. Engberg had the following to say: "Saturday of this week we are entertaining 'the strong men from the West,' and I certainly hope that the students of this institu tion will give them a reception that they will always renjernber with pleasure, however pffinful the treatment at the hands of our football team may be. Such re ception, however, can not possibly come spontaneously, but must be the result of careful preparation. It is therefore hoped that every student who can possibly attend the rally this evening will be there to absorb the spirit that will help the team to win its fight on Saturday. "Because this is the quarterly examination period, it is not ad visable to try to hold much sing ing in the class rooms, hut I certainly hope that every spare minute between classes will be used to the very best advantage by everyone in the development of pep and energy for the evening rally. "Let us show the West that the people of the East are gentlemen and good sports, but also that they are the hardest proposition to tackle on the field of battle that has ever been met." DIRECTORY COPY GOES TO PRINTER Social Organization Section Work Is Now Practically Complete PROOFS AVAILABLE SOON Copy for the Student Directory published annually by the University Y. M. C.

At O street the parade will go west for three blocks and up Ninth street to the Lincoln hotel, where the Washington team will be staying. Each Washington player will be introduced by some member of their coaching staff from the hotel platform. The rally will be terminated with yells led by the Varsity cheer leaders. Coach Bearg, when interviewed concerning the rally said, "I am heartily in accord with these rallies and hope every student will be there to yell as they never yelled before fore, and not quit until Saturday af ter the game. Few students realize the tremenduous effect these rallies have in giving the team a fighting spirit. Nebraska has a reputation for supporting her team; let's keep up the reputation." Captain Ed Weir said "The spirit for the football season will be deter mined by the way the first home rally goes. The way in which we get started will make a dot of differ ence. Don't forget that the spirit of the students is reflected in the per formance of the team. This is go ing to be one of our very toughest games, and it can't be won by the eleven alone, the whole school must be fighting with them."
