REGENTS WILL SETTLE FATE .onr HALL , miction of Building Will Be Made to See Fault, and Cracks TO MEET THIS MORNING Condemnation and Possible Raxing Of Structure Has Aroused No Comment from Alumni - The fate of University Hall will be decided this morning by the Board of Regents at the special meeting called for 11 o'clock to consider the unsafe condition of inner walls discovered in an inspection of the building made Tuesday by Chancellor Avery and John Latcnser jr., Omaha architect. There will be two alternative plans presented to the Regents, either to tear down the building or authorize sufficient funds to make extensive repairs necessary to make the struct ure reasonably sound. The Regents will make a personal inspection of the building to see the faults and cracks uncovered last Tuesday. John Latenser, architect, will attend the meeting to give pro fessional advice. - Alumni Make No Comment The threatened condemnation and possible razing of the building has aroused more comment from alumni according to Chancellor Avery,, who interprets this to mean that the al umni as a whole realize the gravity of the unsafe condition existing in the building and entertain no serious .pntimental feelings to maintain the building at the risk of the safety of hundreds of students. Two of the .worst faults in the wall and piers were discovered on the first floor in rooms 106 and 107, where the bricks were found sunk half an inches in places and keeling over at a dangerous angle, anff some of them so loose that they could almost be taken out with the hand. , Similar flaws were found in other parts of the building. A few can be seen from the outside, particularly on the west side of the north wing where the building almost collapsed in 1877, ten years after erection, when the old sandstone foundation sudden ly gave way leaving the brick wall suspended in mid-air. Another place where the con dition of the building is evident from the outuide is above the publication office entrance on the north east corner. OBSERYE DAY OF PRAYER Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A.

A larger group than usual attended the convocation. Miss Louise Watson, who was to play instrumental solos, was ill and could not appear. A discussion and demonstration of the primitive Indian flute constituted the first part of the program. Mr. Cardin used an Omaha flute together with one of the modem type to show the development of the instrument. Playing tunes as the Indians did, he gave "Indian Uhost i ipes ana a Pueblo melody. He also played one of his own compositions, "Cree War Dance." Its atmosphere was that of the real Indian war dance.

Friday the Thirteenth Casts Spell , Over Students Black cats, broken mirrors, and skeletons are bad enough in them selves to thing about on Friday the thirteenth, but when mid-semester examinations are in the midst oi it all, what can a person do? Once more the day has come with all its horrors, real and imaginary. Black cat 'are of course the most dreaded and at the same time the best known unlucky sign, so when ever innocent tabby strolls your way today, be careful, for she may cast s spell over you and you will not be able to bluff your way through that sociology. leave in this morning, be careful not to step under a ladder, for some careless workman might have left a can or two of whit lead on top, which, if it fell on your head from height of several stories, might impair your mental processes, though again, it might not.

The team and Varsity cheer leaders will be there. This provides plenty of time for the students on the spe cial Union Pacific train, which ar rives in Manhattan at 11:30 o'clock to attend; also those who are going to fraternity and sor ority houses for lunch. The rally will be over by 1 o'clock, leaving an hour to get to the game. BASEBALL IS DISCONTINUED Athletic Board Abolishes Dia mond Sport, Golf, and Swimming FACILITIES ARE LACKING There will be no more basebt J at Nebraska for awhile. That an nouncement was made by the athletic office as the result of a decision of the athletic board in abolishing the diamond sport, together with golf and swimming for an indefinite period of time. Lack of facilities for carrying on the work of the teams in these sports was given as the reason for aban doning the sports. Baseball, a ma jor sport, was discontinued because the teams have been forced to work out under unfavorable conditions. The cold weather has often caused the diamond teams to practice inside until Uie opening of the season. Nebraska's golf teams in the past have been rather unorganized be cause they have been forced to prac tice on the municipal and other cour ses. The lack of a University course necessitates the discontinuance of the sport. The swimming teams will probably not be entered in competition until the University has a swimming pool in the new field house. It is planned to install this during the next three or four years, but until then there will be no Varsitv letters in the aquatic sport. WILL DISTRIBUTE AWGWAN MONDAY Thursday Is Day.

Midsemester ween had dropped on the way to school, and the mirror had broken. I In or-ler to counteract these evil 'spirits, the farsightcd student will I have earlv procured several good luck charms, to carry with him dur ing the day. A tastily arranged pot of four-leaf clovers would make an appropriate gift for any teacher, and it would have to be a very hard hearted professor to fail such a thoughtful student. The potency of wish-bone has no equal, and when all other incan tations fail, this can always be relied upon. A sure way of making an im presnion on the teacher, if he lives at a boarding house, would be to send him turkey Tri.-hbon, without re moving it from the bird. This method has proved satisfactory be fore. With these warnings before him, the wine student should take all pre cautions to guard against the evil which may come to him on this fateful day. methcef LINCOLN. NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 19 25. DRAMA GIVEN FIRST TIME BY PLAYERS 'Hell Bent For Heaven" Por trays Life in Blue Ridge Mountains SHOWN LAST EVENING Hughes' Play to Be Produced Again Friday Night and Twice on Saturday Strong in its atmosphere and par ticularly effective in its stage-craft was the play presented by the Uni versity Players to the public for the first time, "Hell Bent For Heaven," by Hatcher Hughes. The play will be produced again Friday and Sat urday evening and Saturday after noon. The work of Mr. Ray Ramsey was the most outstanding in the play. Putting the spirit of a spry and chip per old man into his lines, Mr. Ram sey kept the house in an uproar. His witty retorts and philosophy brought him into the public favor. Mr. Yenne, usually seen only as the most admirable of characters, appears as a most despicable hypocrite and vil lain. His shifty eyes, flinching movements and calculating words, a fanatic with "religion" that let him do what he wished, won a hearty hate from the audience. Harold Felton, as Sid Hunt, the returning war hero, was natural and care-free. Harold Sumption blustered his way through the part of a roistering rough and ready. His occasional bursts of blasphemy, thrown in a rage at Rufe Pryor, were startling. Ruth Schrank, as Meg Hunt, play ed her part well as did Helen Stott in the character of Jude Lowry, Sid's sweetheart Plot Centers Around Rufe Pryor The plot of the play is laid around Rufe Pryor, a young man whom we are led to believe has a yellow streak in his blood, due to the fact that he remained home from war. During the absence of Sid Hunt, who has gone across, Rufe . tries to win the affection of Jude Lowry, Sid's Sweetheart. After Sid's return, Rufe begins to plot against Sid's happiness and life. His wicked thoughts he attempts to cover by his "camp-meetiV religion." After Rufe's falsity is exposed and he has been threatened with death by those who have been the subjects of his hypocrisy, through the tact and strategy of the old grandfather, David Hunt, he is per mitted to escape. The author of the play contrasts the shallowness of Rufe's type of re ligion to the sincere religion and philosophy as expressed by Mr. Ram sey in the lines of David Hunt when he says, "After what has happened tonight, we ought to be able to fol low God blindfolded, uphill and back wards." The play is educational in that it shows the life, thoughts, and environ ment of the people in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It does for the people of Kentucky what Lulu Bollmer's "Sun-up" did for the mountaineers of Tennessee. STOCK TEAM OFF FOR KANSAS CITY Will Coaipete Saturday in Contest Held la Connection With Live stock Show The University of Nebraska senior livestock judging team, composed of Walter Tolman, Lincoln, Russell Kendell, Lincoln; Amos Gramlich, Papillion; Louis Ball, Petersburg; Melvin Lewis, Ashland; and Peter K.

SHOULD SECURE TICKETS TODAY Offices of Railroad Wish Know How Many Going On Manhattan Special to TRAIN WILL LEAVE AT 6:30 Nebraska rooters who are planning to go to the Husker-Kansas Aggie game on the special Union Pacific train, which leaves the Burlington station at 6:30 Saturday morning, are urged to secure their tickets today. The railroad offices are anxious to know the approximate number of stu dents expecting to take the trip on the special, and very few had signed up Thursday. Because of the short trip most of the fans are expecting to buy their tickets at the last minute. If some would buy their tickets today the rail road could eliminate the chance of a last minute rush for more accomo dations, with the possibility of delay ing the train's departure. Four cars with a capacity for the carrying of 240 people is the present size of the train, according to the railroad company's estimate.. As the fare is only $4.83, the largest football crowd taking a football trip this year is expected. The train ar rives in Manhattan at 11:30 and will leave for Lincoln at 7:30 Saturday evening. Football tickets may be secured at Latsch Brothers for $2.00 until Fri day noon. If anyone fails to get them in that time, more will be on sale in the lobby of the Gillette hotel in Manhattan on Saturday morning, by John K. Selleck, student activity manager. Four hundred tickets are reserved for the Cornhusker rooting section. Kansas Aggies have the same Valley record as Nebraska so far this season. The Kaggies are very anxious to hurl the Comhuskers from Valley supremacy which they have so long mamtamed.

PRICE 5 CENTS GRID SQUAD LEAVES FOR MANHATTAN Hutchison, Locke, and Presnell Are Bothered by Few Slight Hurts ifln(j jjntcnj ison, Nebraska's hard working center, may be kept out of the game. The center is suffering from a wrenched shoulder, and Locke has been kept out of practice for most of this week. Barring those three, the Husker squad is fit for the big battle to morrow. A different spirit is ex pected to produce a different result this week from that of last Satur day, and in spite of the O Street coaching staff, football fans believe that Nebraska is in line for a vic tory in the Aggie game. A student special which leaves early tomorrow morning will carry a large number of grid followers to the game, and the fans will rally at the Gillette hotel in Manhattan short ly after their arrival. Thursday marked the wind-up of a stiff week of practice for the Hus kers. Since Monday the squad has been treated to hard work every night, and yesterday's workout kept the gridsters in condition. Take Workout ot Manhattan The team will take a workout at Manhattan this afternoon in order to keep limbered up for the scrap to moraw.

There is of course a certain number of alumni and foot ball followers who, with money on Nebraska, put up a loud howl every time the team loses. That is why so many cries for a new coach are heard when the team loses a game or two. There is a quotation from Knute Rockne in the editorial column that fits extremely well in here. And speaking of Rockne, that august gen tleman brings his football team here a week from next Thursdsy for a lit tle tussle with the Hubkers. The Ne braska team will start active prepar ations for that game next Monday. Need More Ushert for The Notre Dame Game Approximately 20 more ushers are still needed for the Thanks giving game between Nebraska and Notre Dame according to John K.
