IMPROVE COLISEUM
VIEW BY REMOVING
FRAME STRUCTURE
In order that the view of the
Coliseum will be less obstructed
by buildings, a frame building, east
of Social Science Annex is now
being removed. As soon as this
building is taken down it will be
possible to see the Coliseum from
13th street.
Will Not Be Replaced.
No new structure will be put in
its stead, but the ground will be
landscaped. There will be no ex
tensive landscaping at present as
there Is a lack of funds, but there
will probably be something done to
make it more attractive as a part
of the program of campus beautifi
cation. This building was formerly the
home management house, which
has moved to Sixteenth and R
streets. It was sold last week to
H. R. Eydcn, contractor, who is
using the material for selling purposes.

Sunday, November 5, is Go-To-
Church Sunday at the University
of Nebraska. This is a tradition of
long standing at the University
and I hope tnat many stuaems
who have not yet identified them
selves with a church here will at
tend the church of their choice this
Sunday, thus beginning to take an
interest in the religious life of this
community.
To each one of you it may nave
a different meaning, but I desire
to pass along to you the suggestion
that you attend churcn somewnere
on this Sunday. The Lincoln
churches welcome you.

regarded as victims of old age. But
merely as senior law students per
petuating an old, old custom of the
law college by carrying a walking
stick during their last year. The
stick is regarded as a badge ot
great dignity and superiority, and
to be privileged to carry one is tne
goal of all law students who, until
their senior years are forced to tot
ter around the campus unsup
ported. As one senior put it, " c want
to be distinguished on the cam
pus. Their canes are tne "priae ot
all senior laws." The practice is
taken from old English novels.
particularly Dickens', in which a
characteristic of the lawyer was
that he carried a caane.
In the past senior laws also wore
black derbies. This practice was
deserted because of economic con

from the senior law!
