But our love for this institution, located within tho boundaries of tho Hawkeyc state, has now bo- come a thing of the past. In tho past week that school has shown that it is as desirous of giving to tho neighboring instltur lions as many "black eyes" as It dared. First the Daily Iowan de clares that "it is in a position to look down on Nebraska, Wiscon sin, Illinois and, Minnesota,'! by virtuB of winning its two dobatoB in the Central Debating league, and then it sends this tender mjsslvo r UTJts readers througirtho editorial columns: "Shonka, captain-elect of tho Ne braska .football eleven, Intimated beforo election that he would not return to. tho university unless .chosen captain. So honoring his fidelity, they elocted him leader for next year." ktv Now, our-dear slandering friend, woQrinlyari.WriylihatJjuiulyu would become ConvorsantHHommltte1t0-mako-lt-5ntlr)ly- have such aw excellent idea of Ne braska and Nebraska affairs, but, unless the hands on your clock are turning too fast, allow us to bother vancoment of Science, which will Tie hold in Minneapolis during tho holi day season. Tho subject which Dr. Bessey has been asked to discuss is "Tho Results of Our Teaching of Bot any." He will deal with important questions concerning real results, or tho perpetuation of tho science. Thero is a great demand for botan ists all over tho United States. Col leges of good standing are unablo to secure competent Instructors in this science. Tho United States govern ment every month holds examinations for botanists who may wish to enter the service of tho forestry depart ment, tho department of agriculture, or that of somo of tho investigation bureaus. There is a groat demand for experienced scientific investigators in the government laboratories. The call is sent out daily for "more men to do scientific work." Dr. Bessey,. in tho face of these cir cumstances, the fact that it is so hard to recruit enough young botanists to fill the demands for teachers and in vestigators, will dlscuBB tho methods of ;teacKIpg"to determine twhotberrqrj liut.unu muiuuira uhvu hiu i,v;u.uou aim the shortage "Why. Is. It .that. with our big classes In beginning botany, at practically all of- our- universities, wo are falling so far short of supply ing the demand for young ment and ..-t finfAtiHafaO" la n miAaflrm Tit women scientists?" Is a question Dr. Bessey asks. MINNESOTA TO ENTER 8H00T. Contestants from Colleges Preparing . v for Event.

In this league there jfrp jtwp departments, that' of tho outdoor and, ,-u nlwx amir mtt&mmmt AT you a moment and tell you whero you are slightly mistaken. Captain Shonka never intimated boforo election that ho was desir ous of becoming captain. Ho was to receive his degree in Juno, lOil. By doing that ho would, bo. Ineligible.. to play football for another year, nccordlng to the ruling of tho Mis souri Valley conference a rulo your honored institution, helped make. In order that Nebraska might so euro his sorvlces for anothor year, he was cleoted captain, and now he will not toko his LL. B. degreo un til February 15, 1912. Regarding his fidelity, thero is no truer Cornhusker in tho Univer sity of Nebraska -than Sylvester Shonka, and when a man of Ne braska is elected captain of the football team, it does not appear to us that tho Dally Iowan, tho paper representing tho soljool that throw bricks at a Nebraska foot ball team which dofeatod the Hawkoyes, has any cause to criti cise or Blander the actions of the Nebraska football team of 1910. Besides, our dear Iowa friends, we would bo very much pleased if with the facts of the case, before you send out shouts of disapproval of things which occur in a neigh boring school. of tho indoor. Tho outdoor shooting has not pnoved a success hitherto, bo causo tho exponso necgssaryily put upon tho individuals who enter and tho Inok of' interest in tho part of col leges mako tho representation of teams almost impossible. The indoor shoot has mot with success. It was begun in 1908 at New York. Tho fol lowing yoar tho colleges wero allowed to hpld their shoot at home. Last year twenty-two teams of ton each wore represented In tho league. UNION "LIT" PROGRAM. A Christmas" Tree Planned for Pro gram Next Friday.

Literary Societies, Fraternities, 8oror Itlei, Dramatic Club, Glee Club and other Societies to Appear. Saturday ovoning, Fobrunry 4, will witness an entirely now foaturo in tho naturo of university activities, undor tho caption of "University Night." Following tho receipt of mnny rocom mondatlons concerning tho successful application of such a typo of enter" tainmont to a large university, and prompted by tho social committoo of tho university Y. M. C. A., a contral committee has bcon organized to in stall "University Night" permanently Into the schedule of collego activities. Nature of the Event. Tho nature of "University Night" is so planned as to include 'a combina tion of all the talent In the school. In reality it will be a vaudovlllo, and of a variety that- will probably bo a rev elation to local theater managers who might court "amatour talont." Tho primary object of tho chairman of. a representative program. A resumo of some of tho anticipated features -that are likely to bo presented can not bo made at present. An effort will bo made to have representations, however, from tho Dramatic club, Glee club, Komonsky club, all literary societies, fraternities, sororities, and all other sources of available talent. Experienced Feature. That the adoption, of "University Night" as a school featuro will not bo trying to tho untried is attested by tho success of a similar event in other schools. The University of Illinois has enjoyed such a function for a good while and recommend it as one of tho most Interesting of tho school year. West Point has also been sue- . cesBful with tho same. As expressed by ono of tho promotors, however, "It cannot fail to work." It will bo some-. thing that every phaBe of university life will bo engaged in. Particular core was taken in regard . to the time "University Night" will bo hold. February ! was chosen be causo it follows directly the final "exams" for the . first semester, and possibly because it is a timo when all are supposed to bo "financially afflu ent." It haB also been 'arranged that no other university events will t'ako' plncc tho same night. PALLADIAN PROGRAM. 19? Oi Entertainment and Business Meeting Held Last Evening.
