New Field House
Framework of Nebraska's new Field
The construction schedule for the
University of Nebraska's new Field
House is up to date with the specifi
cations, according to John K. Sell
eck, secretary of the University Ath
letic Building Association. By Janu
ary 15 it will be ready for the Corn
huskers' first basket ball game.
All of the steel arches have been
erected, and two of the seven roof
ing sections have been laid. Al
though the building will not be en
tirely completed until April, it will
be used for student purposes before
then, as was the Memorial Stadium
in 1923.
Actual construction did not begin
until August 1, but building plans
had been under way for some time.
The steel contract was let July 6.
According to the contract, the build
ing will cost $425,000 when com
pleted.

STUDENTS WILL
ATTEND CHURCH
j Expect Many to Observe An
nual All-University Church
Day November 22
MAKE PERSONAL CALLS
The movement for All-Univershity
church attendance November 22, is
progressing so successfully that those
who are promoting it are anticipating
that a large number of university
students will be found at the various
places of worship next Sunday morn
ing.
Those who have been making per
sonal calls upon the students have
found them to be very responsive,
and heartily interested in the move
ment. Many of them have not only
promised to observe All-University
Church Day, but have offered their
own services in helping to bring
about universial church attendance.
The spirit of cooperation between
the various church groups and de
nominations has been marked, and
perhaps the success of the movement
is in some degree, due to this lack of
a competitive feeling between the
groups of workers, those in charge
feel. United in a common effort
they have been able to accomplish a
crest deal in encouraging a wide at
tendance of university students at
church.
The object of the movement is not
nerely to encourage church attend
mce on the day especially set for It,
ut to develop an appreciation of the
pportunities which Lincoln churches

The Crisis in Husker History
Sixty thousand persona will be in the stadium to
watch the Huskers meet the pride of Hoosierdom
Thanksgiving, and about nine tenths of those persons
will be there to watch our nationally known Nebraska
spirit The time for the greatest demonstration of that
spirit is at hand.
With a victory over Illinois, Lhe pride of the Big
ten, and a tie against Washington, champions of the west
Coast, our team has established their reputation.
Now is the time for us the student body to estab
lish our reputation.
And Thanksgiving when we cheer a litte louder,
sing a little stronger, we'll make the wires a lot hatter
as they flash the Husker victory to the North and South
and East and West.

U HALL TOWER
IS UNCOVERED

vealed at Workmen Con
tinue Wrecking
CUT HOLES IN CEILING
The skeleton framework of Uni
versity Hall tower was uncovered
yesterday as workmen continued the
task of wrecking the building. Slate
shingles were stripped off the sloping
top of the tower, and boards torn off
ithe ""Porting frame
At the same
! time larSe hole was cut into
the
main roof just west of the tower to
permit easy access to the roof. Some
of the shingles on the west wing were
also stripped off yesterday.
Large jagged holes have been cut
through the ceiling of the third and
second floors of the north wing to
! permit constructing the shutes down
which material
will slide to the
ground floor.
Old boards taken off the tower
were found fastened together with,
blunt on the end. The outside boards
on the window casings are weather
beaten so badly that they appear as
burnt. This is especially so on the
sides exposed directly to the sun.
The slowness with which some
news travels was illustrated yester
day hen a man was found in Univer
sity Hall hunting for the Postoffice
which for over a week has been lo
cated in the College Book Store.
The cost of wrecking the build
ing and constructing the tar roof over
the remaining first floor, is estimated
at about $18,000 by the B. J. Jobst
Building Company, which is doing
the work. The University will re
ceive all the salvage material.
The original cost of the building
was $140,000, in 1870. Its esti
mated value in 1921 was placed at
$40,000 by the Regents in a report to
tne Governor.
The tie rods and the
he norUi wing in and
building of the third floor through,
to make additional class rooms was
$2295.
University Hall cost more than
three times as much as the older class
of buildings on the campus. Nebras
ka Hall built in 1888 cost $41,000.
Pharmacy Hall, built three years ear
lier, cost $40,000. Grant Memorial
completed in 1888 cost only $25,000.
Soldiers Memorial, the west end of
the building, built in 1899, cost $30,-
000.
Building costs rose by the time of
the next set of buildings. It cost
$109,0000 to build the Temple in
1907. The buildings of the last pro
gram which included Bessey Hall,
Chemistry Hall, Social Science Hall,
and Teachers College, cost from
$170,000 to $300,000.

ANNUAL CLASH
First and Second-Year Groups
Complete Plant for Olym
pic Contest Saturday
SOPHOMORES MAY WIN
College of Agriculture Will Send
Delegation; Interest Higher
Than It Uiual
The tables may be turned next Sat
urday for the first time in several
years, when the sophomores and the
freshmen clash in the annual Olym
pic contest More interest has been
shown by the sophomore class this
year than in previous years. The lat
est addition to the sophomores has
been a delegation promised by the
College of Agriculture. The fresh
men usually outnumber their oppon
ents and win the Olympics in the
free-for-all contests, but plans have
been laid out whereby they will meet
stronger opposition in these events
than ever before.
The Innocents are in charge of the
program, and with Leo Black as the
chairman, have arranged a program
consisting of boxing and wrestling
matches, relay races and tug-of-war
to be held in the stadium. The mass
games will be held on the drill field.
The schedule of events, starting at
2 o'clock, in the Stadium, are:
135 lb. wrestling.
145 lb. wrestling.
158 lb. wrestling.
135 lb. boxing.
145 lb. boxing.
Tug-of-war.
440 yard relay race.
The bull pen and the shoe rush
will follow immediately after on the
drill field.
The suppression of hazing has been
an important factor in this year's
plans for the Olympics.
The Olym
pic committee has issued a statement
against any hazing, the punishment
for such an offense will be the for-
feiture of the Olympics by the side
doing the hazing.
The Olympics were first started in
1909 under the guidance of Dr. Con
dra, and are one of Nebraska's most
cherished traditions. The chief ob-
Jcet of these Olympic games was to
do away with the unsatisfactory re
lation between the two classes. There
was no organization and fights were
not common in any part of the cam
pus. Both the freshmen and sophomore
classes have voted to abstain from
hazing before the Olympics. The fra
ternities have been requested to be
responsible for any of their members
or pledges taking part in such activi
ties. With this co-operation the
Olympic committee believes that this
year's Olympics will be free from ob
jection. A new element has entered in the
Olympic program this year, by which
the co-eds will have a chance to show
their class loyalty. Five points will
be given the class that has the larg
est number of feminine rooters in the
stands. This is the first time that
the women have played any part in
the Olympics. This incentive of five
points was given so that it would not
only be up to the men to uphold their
classes but also the women.
The freshmen will without a doubt
turn out strong Saturday afternoon
as is usually the custom. The sopho
mores have held several class meet-
bigs to promote the class spirit which
is usually lacking. Tne College of
Agriculture sophomores met Thurs
day and with Lynn Cox as chair
man decided to support the class this
year. Both the men and the wo
men will turn out strong Saturday.
The sophomores received another big
boost when Coach Bearg announced
that the football men could compete
in the events.
Both classes have had their try
outs for the various events and are
primed for the coming games. Class
rivalry on that day will be at its
heights.

The party is the third of a series
of University mixers held and spon
sored by the All-University Party
Committee. These parties have been
well attended by tha students. Near
ly a thousand students were pre?- :.t
st the last party.
