NO TRACE FOUND
OF STOLEN AUTO
Betty Romans, Paul Wenke
Injured Slightly in Car
Collision.
No trace had been found Monday
evening of the driver of the stolen
car which collided with a machine
occupied by Betty Romans, Lin
coln, and Paul Wenke, Pender,
both university freshmen, and
caused slight injuries to the two
students Saturday shortly after
midnight at 16th and K streets.
Dale Oder, sophomore from Has
ting who lives at 1630 K, had left
his auto at 16th and O streets when
he entered a drug store. He heard
cruiser cars while eating a lunch
not knowing that his car was in
volved in the accident to which the
police were rushing.
The driver of the stolen machine,
which was traveling south on 16th
streets, climbed out of the wreck
age following the crash and ran
west on K pursued by police offi
cers and Prof. Karl M. Arndt, who
was driving past at the time. The
youth succeeded in evading the
pursuers.
Taken to the Lincoln General
hospital, Miss Romans, 2641 Rath-
bone road, was found to be suffer
ing from minor cuts about the face
from flying glass. She was at
tended by Dr. O. V. Calhoun who
took four stitches in a cut near her
right eye.
Knocked unconscious when ram
med against the steering wheel of
his car, Wenke, who lives at 6i!!
No. 16, did not completely revive
until a half hour after the collision.
He was dismissed from St. Eliza
beth hospital Sunday afternoon
after an examination which re
vealed that he received a deep
scratch on the back of the neck.
The impact of the crash was
heard for several blocks. Both cars
were badly damaged.
Officer Harry Goeglein and
Specie Officer Taylor, who were
called to the scene and chased the
fleeing youth for a block, found
that he had too great a start.

feeling one of characteristic cynicism. 1 Ins is easily understood
when one recalls the previous attempts and efforts of student
organizations to accomplish some
thing, A feeble start, ft lack of en
thusiasm and an ignoble death
have been the typical run of events
at Nebraska for many years and
naturally enough, a fatalistic atti
tude has developed which doomed
every project before it was even
begun.
It was therefore the duty of the
executive committee of this union
project to dispel this attitude and
build up a feeling of mirety about
lu efforts. The committee has
made sincere efforta to interest
the students and has succeeded In
stirring up some comment that
points to the fact that their project
has taken on greater proportions
and a more popular aspect than the
library project which has first
preference in the building inven
