Gunderson, Students
Address Rotary Club
Dr. Lyman Urges All Who
Are Sick to Go to Bed
And Sleep.
Delighting hundreds of univer
sity students yesterday, a false
rumor made its way about the
campus to the effect that school
was to be closed Friday for an in
definite period as a result of the
epidemic of flu which has swent
the campus during the past week.
Dean T. J. Thompson stated on
Tuesday that all such reports were
entirely without foundation and
that school was to continue until
next Wednesday, when school will
rinse for the Christmas vacation.
Another statement, issued late
Tuesday afternoon by Dr. Lyman
was to the effect that "it would do
no good to close down the univer
sity because even then the stu
dents would be living together in
the dormitories and fraternity and
sorority houses.
Dr. Lyman has advised all stu
dents suffering from influenza to
go to bed and get plenty of sleep.
He recommends that all possible
should go to the student infirmary
should their condition become
worse.
CONTAINS
Several short talks by six uni
versity students, representing the
six major colleges of the uni
versity, and Mr. L. E. Gunderson,
finance secretary of the university,
were received by members of the
Rotary club at their regular noon
day luncheon yesterday at the Lin
coln hotel.
Mr. Gunderson's talk was on
"University Sources of Income."
The students representing the six
major colleges spoke of the col
leges they represented and of the
aims of these colleges. These six
student speakers were Gilbert
Muhrman, John Hossack, Howard
Allaway. Reginald Miller, Albert
Abers, and Jerome Petr.
Dean T. J. Thompson arranged
the program and was in charge of
its presentation.
Col W. H. Oury Was Partner in First
Bookstore Operated on Uni Campus
Way back in "93, in the dim
basement of University hall there
Was opened, one winter morning,
the first bookstore of the Uni
rersity of Nebraska. In charge of
the store were two energetic young
university students in their fresh
man year. One of these young men
was none other than W. H. Oury,
better known today as Colonel W.
H. Oury, commandant of the mil
itary department of- the University
of Nebraska.
Working on the theory that stu
dents were desirous of paying less
for their textbooks than they had
been in the past, the two students
had obtained permission to open
the new booksore and to sell books
at a lower rate to the student
body.
Business flourished, relates Col
one! Oury, "d scon school supplies
were added, making the income
even greater.
"We made one mistake, tho,"
smiled the colonel, "when we be
gan selling drill uniforms during
the second and third years. It was
not a profitable venture, and we
lost money."
When they graduated after four
years of successful management,
the two youths left, Colonel Oury
going to the Philippine islands.
The book store continued for two
or three years, and was then
moved to a new location on "R"
at., where it ceased to be connected
with the university.
" After this there followed a pe
riod in which the university had no
student-operated book, store, and it
was not until several years later
that another was opened, this time
in the basement of the Administra
tion building. This textbook store
handled no second-hand books or
school supplies, but merely sold
new textbooks at cost in order that
students might secure needed
books more cheaply.
This bookstore has grown since
iU founding until today it sells
over 18,000 books a year to uni
versity students .Taking heed of
the experience of Colonel Oury and
his associate in their sideline ven
ture, the present manager, Tyler
Buchenau, says he is sure that the
bookstore will "never try to run a
combined bookstore and clothing
store." .

REGLER FINDS ROBBERY
Morrill Hall Loses Five

Statuary.
ESTIMATES AS BASIS
FOR LOANFROM RFC
Announcement Reveals That
Construction Will Add
To Dormitory.
University officials have been
getting estimates on which to base
an application for a $250,000 loan
from the Reconstruction Finance
corporation with which to con
struct further units of the new
dormitory it was revealed Tuesday
in connection with the announce
ment that 15 million dollars worth
of Reconstruction Finance proj
ects are hanging fire in Nebraska.
Money secured from the federal
government thru the Reconstruc
tion Finance agency established by
the last session of congress bears
only three percent interest, where
as the money borrowed from the
state school fund to construct the
present dormitory carries an inter
est charge of 5 percent. Altho the
present structure is only partially
occupied, officials figure that with
money borrowed at the low inter
est rate it would be advantageous
to complete the structure and make
residence in the dormitory compul
sory for freshmen women stu
dents. Change in Law.
Prof. Clark E. Mickey, head of
the civil engineering department of
the university, declared that some
change in the state law would
probably be necessary to bring
some of the money here. Under the
provision of the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation act, money that
is loaned to states or municipali
ties must be repaid from rentals or
servire charges from the enter
prises for which the borrowed
money is used rather than from
taxes or assessments. A state law
would thus need to be passed to
authorize state agencies and mu
nicipalities to borrow the money
on this basis, Prof. Mickey indi
cated. It is understood that the pur
pose of the money is largely to

screws from the box containing the

Among the pieces was a statue
Jesus and one of rose granite of a
rooster, which was approximately
eight inches tall.
No clues as to the Identity of the
robber were discovered.

Bud McBride Refuses

the brown derby for the second
time by the freshman class in law
college, refuses to wear it again
on the grounds of unconstitution
ality. McBride says that if neces
