At Lawrence
NO WORSE FOR THE COLD
Returning from Drake in good
condition, in spite of the intense cold
wind and snow, the Huskcr harriers
took a six and one-hnlf mile disUnce
run at a Rood Rpeed Monday even
ing:. Coach Schulte will run all Var
sity candidates, in a tryout for the
Missouri Valley meet, Thursday af
ternoon at 3:30.
Coach Schultc's men were content
with taking third and the following
places against Drake Saturday, which
allowed them to win easily and not
run any risks from extreme exhaus
tion in the cold weather. Drake has
only two men of ability and they
would have had a hard race against
any of the six Huskers had the Ne
braska runners chosen to challenge
their rights to first and second places
Saturday.
No More Dual Meets
The Drake meet was the last dual
meet for the Scarlet and Cream hill-and-dale
team this fall, and gives
Nebraska runners time to prepare for
the Valley meet at Lawrence, Novem
ber 21. Coach Schulte has express
ed confidence in the showing of the
team this season and is rounding
them into top form for the Valley
classic.
Saturday's race was perhaps the
most disagreeable distance run in
years for either of the two teams.
A snow laden north wind swept
across the path of the runners, cut
ting the in breath hort and causing
poor blood circulation. Even with
gloves on their hands the runners suf
fered from the weather.
While the Huskers were defeating
Drake, the Oklahoma tea mwas plac
ing four men ahead of the first Jay
hawker runner on the Sooner course.
This was the only other Valley race
of the week. Oklahoma and Kansas
Aggies, and perhaps Ames, will all
be contenders for the Missouri Valley
title with the Nebraska runners.
Kansas Aggies and Nebraska are con
sidered the two leading contenders.
University Hall Was
Once Center of College
(Continued from Page One.)
Hall was one of the buildings whose
fate it was to be propped up.
Once Housed Dormitory
Few are the students now who
know that the third floor was used
as a dormitory in the early days of
the Univerrity; that at one time
classes were held on the fourth floor;
that there is an old campus bell on
top of the south roof which once
tolled the hour of daily prayer: or
that the "U" Hall tower, extending
seven stories above the ground, is
the highest point on the campus.
Thousands of students have gone
un and down its stairways and
across its halls. The shuffling and
pounding of innumerable thousands
of feet has worn out three sets of
flooring, and caused the present ne
cessity for repairs.
This is not the first time that
the mother building of the Univer
sity has had a "closed for repairs"
sign posted on the entrances.
Foundation Faulty
One year after the building was
completed, on June 23, 1871, the
regents ordered the foundation of
the building to be repaired and ap
propriated $747 for the work. Then
followed more tinkering with the
foundation in 1873 and '74. The
climax came three years later in
1877 when the faculty, moved to
action by reports and rumors as to
the safety of the riorth wing, moved
out of that part of the building.
The city of Lincoln appropriated
in the summer of 1877 $4,000 for
use in "repairing the foundation and
superstructure." Six years later a
tile roof was put up in place of the
old wooden shingles which had fail
ed to keep out the rain.
Then for several years the build
ing served the University without
much tntr-.ge. A new heating plant
was put into service, in place of the
old hot air system with which the
building was originally equipped.
The next major reconstruction of
the building took place during the
last year of Chancellor Car.field's
administration, about the year 1895,
when the old chapel in the north
wing was closed and floors built

Walls Bolstered Up
Nine years ago the walls were
braced with steel rods and outside
supports as the result of fear ex
pressed over the safety of the build
ing when an hotel at Twelfth and P
streets fell down, from old age. Ad
dilional fire escapes were installed
last summer to supplement- the few
that were up before that time.
Though closed for repairs many
time before, and often threatened
with condemnation, "U" Hall has re
mainedeach year adding a bit to
the mass of old traditions and mem
ories attached to its hoary walls,
and now, in a period of mellow age,
revered and honored as the first
building of the University.
OLD "0" HALL UNSAFE;
WILL BE REPAIRED
(Continued from Page One.)
stalled fifty-five years ago, was the
cause of the weakening of the beams
and stairs under the pounding of the
countless thousands of students' feet
in the rushes between class periods,
said Superintendent Seaton. Work
men were busy yesterday tearing
away plaster to expose the weak tim
bers, which are to be replaced.
Work Begins Wednesday
Reconstruction work will be start
ed Wednesday morning by the B. J.
Jobst company of Lincoln, which was
orgaizing a force of workmen Mon
day to start the repairs not later than
Wednesday morning, and possibly on
Tuesday afternoon.
The inspection was made Sunday
from 9:30 o'clock in the morning to
late in the evening by Chancellor
Avery, Mr. Seaton, and O. A. Ellis, of
the University, conferring with
John and Frank Latenser, Omaha ar
chitects of the firm of Latenser and
Co., who are making plans for the
new medical building at Omaha. The
building being unoccupied, a thor
ough inspection was made possible.
A second conference with archi
tects will be held this morning at 10
o'clock when members of the Laten
ser firm will come to Lincoln to ad
vise as to the extent of the necessary
reconstruction work.
Walls Safe, Says Seaton
No fear need be had concerning
the walls of the building, according
to Operating Superintendent Seaton,
who yesterday said that the walls, al
though not in the best shape, are
leaning inward which is a good con
dition for old buildings. The rods
and braces put on the building sev
eral years ago are holding the shell
in line.
Vigilant, periodic inspections of
University buildings, especially the
older ones, by University offcials,
were responsible for the dectection
some time ago of additional struct
ural weakness in University Hall.
After consulting the regents, Chan
cellor Avery obtained the services of
Latenser and Co. and formed the
committee wfhich inspected the build
ing Sunday.
After the inside reconstruction
work is completed, the building will
be given a second thorough inspec
tion from roof to foundation to de
tect further possible weakness. The
building will be safe for occupancy
then until further work is done in
the way of removing the roof and the
tower.
Removal of the roof and tower will
make the building completely safe for
several years, it is thought, as the
walls are held in line well by the sup
porting rods and braces, and the
foundation is well settled.
Fathers Organise at Eastern Uni
versity Not content with having merely
a "Dad's Day" in their honor, Uni
versity fathers at Oklahoma are
forming their own organization, with
the object of aiding in the fight to
ward a greater university.
Several other Eastern institutions
are inaugurating a "Dad's Day" as
an annual event, recent celebrations
being held at the Northwestern and
Florida Universities.
There is nothing the home folks
would appreciate more than a really
good photograph of yourself. A

Students of All Denominations To
Meet at Christmas Conference
The blase indifference and hostil
ity of the average college student to
wards the Church will have an unob
structed opportunity to express itself
during the corning Christmas holidays
at The Interdenominational Student
Conference to be held at that time at
Evanston, 111. At this meeting stu
dents of a great many denominations
and also many without denomination
al connections, coming from all parts
of the United States, will make an
unbiased evaluation of the Church
and its adequateness as machinery
towards the achievement of a better
social order.
College students, both those friend
ly and those indifferent to the
Church, have long been aware of the
inefficacy and comparative insigni
ficance of the Church in the face of
the great problems of the day. Many
of the friendly group have dispaired
of working effectively through the
Church and are wondering whether
other means might not be more likely
to produce results.
During the summer months of this
year several groups of students have
made invctsigations of what the
Church is actually doing in various
fields. At the conference the re
sults of these investigations combined

payment of one dollar before the
time for the race Saturday.
Alpha Sigma Phi, with Graham and
Roberts as two stars, will have a good

several veterans in Wight, Dick Rose,
and Rogers, will have a good team.
The Tau Kappa Epsilon team has sev

The conference, which is expected
to total over 1200 students, will meet
in the First Methodist Episcopal
Church of Evanston. This is located
within three blocks of the Northwest
ern University campus and is excel
lently fitted for conference purposes.
In spite of the fact that it will be
held in a Church, a conference is free
from any obligation to the Church
as a whole, and will be absolutely
unhampered in any of its expressions.
That this conterenec, the first of
its kind, will be unusually well-at
tended is indicated by the enthusi
astic response to the information lit
erature sent out by the executive
committee. Already in scores of
Universities throughout the country
small discussion groups have been
formed to deal with the problems
which the conference will take up.

in every section of the United States

cording to that system and figures
don't lie.
Huskers May Climb
The fact that the season is not yet
over accounts for the fact that Ne
braska is comparatively low in the
standings. Next Saturday, however,
the Valley season will be over for
Nebraska, and it is doubtful if the
Huskers can climb above second place
even if they defeat the Kansas Ag
gies. If Nebraska hands a defeat to the
Aggies it will boost the Huskers back
into the first division, and this again
will change the aspect of the matter.
Nebraska and Kansas Aggies are
now exactly even according to the
done. Both have the same index
number, both have the same percent
age, and both have experienced the
Idowia rncnTts in fVin ViKqOUl't VfilloV.
Nebraska has lost to Drake and Mis

record.
