George Seymour Pleads That Plans For University Building Be Made Speaks on Necessity of Making Definite Program So That Land scape of Future Campus May Not Be Damaged "There is no question of doubt that a cottage in a beautiful setting is more pleasing than a mansion with no landscape at all," declared George N. Seymour, former president of the Board of Regents, addressing the Ro tary Club at the Lincoln Hotel Tues- dny noon, concerning the University building plans. "I am pleading for a specific Uni versity plan. The Regents have tried to make it the outgrowth of the in stitution itself, not imposed upon the school by some outside architect," the speaker explained. ''All the citi zens of Lincoln have been asked to contribute ideas, for we want a plan that can be perpeuated." Many plans have been formulated in the past, Mr. Seymour explained. The Board of Regents in the past have seen the necessity of a building scheme and have sought the aid of an architect. These plans would be sub mitted, formally or informally adopt ed, and then pigeonholed until an other Board of Regents repeated the trick. "When we undertook the job we wanted to see Why these plans did not realize. I found that every archi tect I interviewed was primarily in terested in the housing problem. To secure an appropriate building plan, it is necessary to provide for large open spaces, so that no matter what they build in the future, they can not materially change the landscape." Mr. Seymour has studied the simi lar problems of many Universities in the United States. It is a deplor able truth that very few schools have had the foresight to plan adequate campus facilities for the future. Ne braska is fortunate in that it has not gone as far as' most of the colleges in its program. A few errors can . be corected 'and a future building scheme can be carried out. he ex plained. "We hope to change Twelfth street to a Stadium. Walk and prohibit its use as a 'jitney' parking place, which is not in accord with good land scape," continued the speaker. A boundary will be made around the whole, as a picture has its frame, to properly set off the central buildings. Streets are not sufficient, for direct ly across there may be something to mar the desired effect. A thick line of trees will be planted along the northern boundary of this pictured campus, to obstruct the present view of railroad tracks and unsightly buildings. TRACK SQUAD GETS READY POR RELAYS Prepare to Go to Urbana, Illinois, on February 27; Star Men are Back On List With the indoor meet at Kansas City over the squad is now turning all its efforts to preparing for the Illinois Relays held at Urbana, on February 27.

To aid members of the undergrad uate group in their discussions, a library will be made accessible to which students will bring books and clippings having to do with the sub ject of education. Various mem bers of the committee will give con tributions of books by prominent edu cators, extracts from discussions held elsewhere, and copies of printed re ports made by student and faculty groups in other institutions.

Faculty discussions have been in progress for some time and members of the facul ty, in response to a query from som students, stated that undergraduate opinion would be considered by the faculty. The student committee has come about as a result of student in terest and will have no official con nection with the faculty.

Fraternities and Sororities Must Not Initiate There will be no sorority initiation for at least six or seven weeks, ac cording to Miss Clara O. Wilson, chairman of Psn Hellenic. "Very few of the women's grades are in yet, and it will take that length of time to get the work completed," she said yesterday. "No fraternity initiation of any sort may be held before February 22, and the preference is that these initiations would not be held until after March J," was the statement issued from Dean' Engberg's office last evening. There are between four and five hundred men to be initiated, with an Director of Physical Education in China Declares That Work There Is Difficult, And Deplores Control By Foreigners The "The work among the students of China is very difficult. I feel, even in my own work which you know is physical education, that what China wants most from the west is the liv ing of Christ-like lives. It is my big gest Job and the one I am most afraid of. I We need all the support that you can give us." Miss Vera Barger, graduate of Ne braska in 1911, who is on her way back to her work as a physical edu cation director in China, spoke on Conditions in China at Vespers, yes terday. About the first of March the annual campaign for the support of the work of Miss Barger will be held. This support is given as a memorial to Mis3 Grace Coppock, the first Nebraska graduate to go to China. "To have any understanding of the situation in China, you must know of the May Thirtieth Tragedy," declared Miss Barger. Last May a Chinese worker in a Japanese mill in Shang hai was shot and killed. As a pro test a memorial service was planned by students and worKers. After it was over six students marched, carry ing banners protesting against fore ign imperialism. When they reach ed the foreign controlled area theji were arrested for disturbing the peace. They were not able to raise the bail, set at one hundred dollars, and were sent back to jail, after be ing tried in an international court. Two thousand Chinese students gathered around the jail. Almost at once arrests were made by the po lice (foreign police), and it has hpen stated that after ordering them to, disperse, the British Sergeant of Po lice gave the order to shoot. Eleven were killed and others wounded. Indignation at the incident spread quickly over China in spite of the fact that there is no wide reaching newspaper. Evn now it is doubtful that any satisfactory settlement has been made. "One thing however has come out of it the union of the e-overnment in the north and that in the south; the union of theChristian and the fion-frfrTktian ag'a7nsr"lhe foreign domination," stated Miss Barger. TEACH BOTANY IN ROCKY MOUNTAINS Dr. Pool Will Give Course to Limited Class in Colorado During First Term of Summer School ine department of botany has made plans to e-ive coursns in fh Rocky Mountains during the first term of the 1926 Summer Session. This work will be under the person al direction of Professor Raymond J. Pool, Chairman of the Department of Botany and will begin in Estes Park Colorado, June 8, and will continue until July 14. Dr. Pool is familiar with conditions and the materials available for this work in Colorado, as he has conduct ed classes in the mountains for sev eral summers. The principle course offered will bo gcnernl in scope, presenting r broad view of the modern biology, with particular reference to plants found in the Rocky Mountains re gion. Registration in this course will be limited to fifty. An advnnced course which will offer training in plant taxonomy or ecology will also be given. The registration in this course will be limited to twelve.

An illustrated pamphlet regarding this summer session is being pre pared, and this will give detailed in formation about the session. for Several Weeks average of from eight to ten to a fraternity. Initiation cannot take place until all the grades are out. As there are only about two-thirds of the grades in now, about two weeks will be required to get the other grades checked over. Several of the fraternities had planned to initiate this week or next. This will not be possible, even though individuals may have secured their grades from their instructors. The rules governing fraternity and sorority initiation continue the same. Freshmen must pass in ell their work and attain the average set by the Pan Hellenic Board and the Inter Fraternity Council. HUSKERS TAKE SHORT END OF ' 41-26 SCORE Nebraska Players Start With Vim, But Kansas Agg' t Hit Basket Better CHANGED LINE-UP OFTEN Shooting Poor and Defense Seemed Weak; Smaha Scores Most Points for Nebraska After taking the lead in the first seven minutes of the playing, and then by losing their shooting eye as well as weakening in their defense, the Nebraska Huskers lost the game to the Aggies by a score of 41 to 26. The score at the end of the half was 21 to 6 in favor of the Aggies. The Huskers evidently went on the floor to win because at the end of seven minutes of play the Nebraskans were leading 6 to 5. The Aggies call ed time out. They must have in jected some stimulant into their men because the Aggies shots fell in the baskets and in a short time they threw three goals in a row, making the score 12-6 in the Aggies favor. A complete change in the Nebraska line-up was made. This, however, did not seem to hinder the Kansas farmers from caging eight more bas kets. In the second period Smaha, Ne braska's talented basket-tosser, took the matter into his own hands and sunk two nice counters between the, iron hoop. All the way through the last half Smaha seemed to be the main cog in the scoring machine, scoring twelve points while his team mates were making eight. The Ag gies were making numerous substi tutions and as the game ended were holding the scoring of Smaha and his assistants about equal. The following gives the line-up and substitutions made.
