The new houses have greatly added to the appearance of the fraternity district, new ideas in architecture having been developed. The general idea of segregating the fraternities has been followed, soro rities being situated on the east side of Sixteenth street and on the west side between R and S street; and the fraternities on the west side of Six teenth between S street and Vine and also on R street. The new homes include Gamma Phi Beta, Delta Zeta, Alpha Phi and Sigma Nu, which is not yet com pleted. Delta Chi is rapidly complet ing the rebuilding of an old mansion on 1421 II street The Alpha Delta Pis have occupied the old Alpha Phi house which has undergone a paint ing and several other improvements. The Theta Phi Alphas are now situ ated in the old Gamma Phi Beta res idence. The Phi Omega Pi has moved into the home formerly oc cupied by the Alpha Sigma Phis who are now residing in the former Ph! Alpha Delta house. The Alpha Sig ma Phis, however, will . soon start building on a lot across the street south from their present location. The homes all form the same gen eral appearance with the exception of the Delta Zeta house, which is a combination of grey stone and stucco at half timber. The Sigma Nu house will, also be of different style, typifying the Truscan archictecture. The interior of the new homes fol low practically the same arrangement with the dinning room and chapter room in the basement and study rooms on the second floor. Dorm itories will also characterize the homes. Station A Transferred To the Temple Building A change of considerable interest! to Nebraska students this summer was the transferring of the Station j tore to its new location in the south- j west corner of the Temple building. The new quarters are roomy, and be ing directly adjacent to the campus,' will gwe students better servico this year than formerly. Included in the equipment of the new office is a writing desk, two windows to accommodate the stu-1 dent trade. Cornhusker Cheering Section to be Formed A real Cornhusker cheering sec tion for years the hope of those promoting Nebraska spirit will be a reality this season. The clever stunts, systematic drills, and distinguishing ensignia planned for this section promises to make it the outstanding, cov eted, and enjoyable group in the stadium. Tickets for this section, which have been limited to a stated num ber of men, will be sold in advance of the other student tickets to a group selected according to a plan which will be slated in . detail in the next issue of the Daily Nebraskan.

Men Roll-collar uniforms are this year destined to replace the tall, stiff col lar uniform worn heretofore by both attaches and cadets of the R. O. T. C. A white shirt collar and black tie will complete the new style uniform. Frank A.

"A mora comfortable uni form" is the first reason for the change, but now that it has been done military officers believe the ap pearance of a university company will be improved 60 per cent.

Sclleck, manager of student activities. There will be no downtown or campus sales campaign this ear, all tickets being sold from the student activities office in the Coliseum.
