Knockin' agin? well I'll be blamed, If you don't beat all holler! This old world 1b sure pained, A-llBt'nln' of your choler. Ain't nothln' good enough fer you, No matter what It be. "It Just won't never, never do,' So fur as you can see. You know Just how it should be done, And where the trouble lies; But now to make the business run You heave It up In sighs. Now, Blghs, they ain't no count, you know, They're pesky heavy, too, Some weigh a half a ton er so, They're soggy clean plumb through. Why don't you peel that well pressed coat, And bare yer puny arm? Or take yer turn and strike a note? It wouldn't do no harm. The exercise 1b worth yer while, Besides the help you'd bring. Why I believe t'would make you smile, And ere long try to sing! Now, this old world'B a polly place, If you'd Just make it bo, By wearin' Bmiles upon yer face , And helpln boom the show. Say, what if things don't all come out Just as you'd have 'em done? Why that's no reason you should pout, It's only part the fun! So quit yer grumblln' go to work And help ub "saw the wood." Quit lookin' fer a chance to Bhirk, And find yourself a better mood. And now I think my labor done In this vile seat o mockers, I've only registered, my son, A thumpin' kick on "knockers." C. R. S. There is something the matter with the upper classmen of this University. I was struck with thiB fact when I came down last fall, and the longer I'm here the worse they seem. Fel lows who sit beside you in the class room and look on your book, perhaps, when they forget theirs, or ask you very politely for a little information on exam day, won't notice you on the street; or if you speak to them they put on a pained expression, and make a great pretense of not knowing you. I used to attribute this to forgetful ness on their part, but now I am be ginning to consider it snobbishness. Last fall I was "rustled" to a $2.50 boarding house. I didn't like the board, but the fellow who punched tickets coaxed me to stay to help him out. AftcrwardB the same fellow Joined a frat, and the boarding house busted up. Now he never knows me on the street or anywhere else. Of course, I don't blame this fellow for not recognizing me, but why should so many of the other fellows act in the same way? Is the sight of a freshman something that will polute? Or is an upper classman something of a god, who must stalk about with a clique of other gods or goddesses in that upper realm, constantly keeping his toga wrapped close about him and his face straight to the front when in np 4 t n fftnohmnn Anrru" Wl LilU litOlllliH" uwn but more often it Is the 'wrong kind of knock in the wrong place, and the rc8iilt8 are otherwise. If you must knock, do it openly and after duo de liberation, and everyone will be better off. It Is the blow in the dark that hurts. Since we must knock, we aro going to take a shot at the seniors for not supporting their own class functions. The class party and the prom which oc curred, respectively on April 3rd and 17th, did not even pay for themselves, and the committees in charge were left with large deficits to meet as the re sult of their efforts. In both cases only a very small proportion of the class waB present. Perhaps the class was not responsible for the loss resulting from the senior prom. That is recog nized more as an event for University Boclety people In general, and if they did not turn out in large numbers it is hardly the fault of the class. How ever, a more liberal patronage on the part of the Benlors would not have been amiss. In the case of the class party there is no excuso whatever. Although the expenses were not great, the crowd was so small that there was a $15 shortage in the accounts of the chairman. Talk about class spirit! There isn't enough In the whole Benlor class to keep one of the members awake at night planning triumphs for his class. S. Some Lesser Ones Everybody This week's weather. The Chancellor (unofficially) Fail ure of Rockefeller to donate the whole thing. Secretary Barrett of the Alumni As sociation Failure of "loyal alumni" to pay their annual dues. Historical Society Tho clipping of paperp by student readers. Spoils the papers for file and reference purposes. Tho Janitors 8pittlng on stairs and hall floors of University buildings. Makes decent people sick at tho stomach. It is about time that somo action should be taken against permitting the University buildings to bo given over to the dance. For parties or social entertainments of the University this practice is perfectly permlssable, but to have state property used for prac tices, which among Christian people are considered absolutely wrong, and which by the great majority of people and the student body In general, when judged by Btrlctly moral principles, are thought questionable, Is not justifiable. That dancing Is not conducive to the highest morality is held by some of our most Influential men and women, and when the chief executive of our state takes the stand that he does up on the question, the practice should at least demand a little consideration before it is allowed to go any further. P. Members of tho Faculty Failure of railroads to donate annuals. Keeps them at home, or eats big holes In their salaries. The School of Music The way the wind gathers all the stray paper of the town and deposits it at the corner of Eleventh and R. The following problem was given to a class In calculus by Dean Davis a few dayB ago to be handed in after vacation. It Is hoped that there will be no failures, as it is surely worth solving, for the information concern ing such a curve would be Invaluable to tho department: "Draw the curve describe by a point on the spoke of a rolling well half way from tho centre to the rim." L. the presonce Sphere la tho troubled a Perhaps it would not be amiss to put in a well-deserved knock about knock ing in general. There is altogether too much of It dono in tho world, and, what concerns us more, In tho Univer sity of Nebraska. People run about with, their little hammers in plain sight or concealed, according to the character of the knocker, and hammer away promiscuously at anything in sight, whether it deserves it or not. How often a more effective and less violent means could bo used. Lots of knocking is dono because it is a habit that, like all others, is hard to forgot ' Teople do It because evoryono else does and they hato to bo left behind. Things have reached such a stage that the old adago might be converted into a new version, and it is almost true that "Knock, and the worm khoukb wiiu you; apprave, and you approve alone. Why ndrcut out knocking, or at least partly eliminate it from our every day conversation. A right kind of knock In the right place may do some good, Two Little Bugs in a Basket, and only Room for One. Let the boys rep Tesent the bugs and the lockers the basket, and you have the crowded con dition of the first and second years of tho engineering department. Up the golden stairs, four stories high, come sweet smelling flavors of burnt pan cakes, molasses candy, pickles, brown bread, Ice cream, etc., to mingle with the fumes from the 'saw 'em Bhort" department,. These are not conducive to hard work, and no wondar tho boys fall off each other's laps, spill red ink and "knock their legs on the floor," as the teacher winds up and wiggles among the twists and giggles. The sub jpet Is really too deep. The cry of the engineer is "Room! Room! Give ub more room!" T. U. of N. Cadets Why are Wesleyan cadets shown a preference over tho Unl. battalion In tho arrangements for the president's reception? Is It be cause Governor Mickey, of veto power, has acted as a Wesleyan trustee, and favors shoving it ahead of tho University? Thoro is only one wheel in which tho pull of tho chain is betwoon tho bear ings. That'B tho RACYCLE Anyone can seo why It runs easier and lasts longer.
