YOUR DIRECTORY
Were you one of the first to secure your copy of the Student
Directory this morning! The directory is a fine thing to have vrith
you for you can never tell when you will want to learn quickly where
your friends reside and what their phone numbers are.
The big rally today the Olympics Saturday morning and the
football game in the afternoon.
AN EXPLANATION
In the notes of the Slavonic Department published in yesterday's
Nebraskan, the title of the pamphlet issued by the Bohemian National
Alliance was incorrectly reported. The correct title of the booklet
received by the Slavonic Department is "The Attitude of the Czechs
with Regard to the Present European TTar."
Surely you have heard the girls speak of the special edition of
the Nebraskan they are preparing. Perhaps you have some excellent
material to offer.
SECRERT PRACTICE
Just think of it, we will be able to see the results of a week of
intensive work by the showing of the team on the gridiron Saturday.
Such efforts behind closed gates means something, and every seat in
the bleachers will be occupied by those anxious for Nebraska's success.
Now for the rally.
EXCHANGES
It has been left to the representa
tive of a small college to make foot
ball history this year. Standing sixty
three yards from the goal posts last
Saturday. Mark Payne, half on the
Dakota Wesleyan squad, booted the
ball over the bars. He was playing
against the - Northern Normals at
Aberdeen, S. D.
This Is the longest drop kick in
football annals. Pat O'Dea, the fa
mous Wisconsin end, drop kicked a
distance of sixty4wo yards in a game
against Northwestern on November
25. 1898. On November SO, 1882, J. T.
Haxall of Princeton kicked goal from
placement for a distance of sixty-five
yards in a game against Tale, The
record of sixty -three yards kicked by
Payne has been fully substantiated by
the ofSclsl? of th game in which Da
kota Wesleyan defeated the Aberdeen
ians by a score of 20 to 0. Ex.
Students In the department of as
tronomy will watch the occultation of
the planet Uranus by the moon tomor
row eveniDg, when the latter will pass
directly between the earth and the
far distant orb. Despite the fact that
the diameter of Uranus is fifteen
times that of the earth's satellite. Its
distance is so great that when the
one passes before the ether, the light
of the planet Is completely hidden.
"At the time of the occultation Sat
urday evening." said Professor S. L.
Boothroyd. of. the department of as
tronomy this morning, "the moon's
distance will be such that an express
train making 1,000 miles a day would
take eight months to make the jour
ney to the satellite. But at the same
instant the distance to Uranus will be
such that It would take the same train
nearly as many milleniums to make
the journey to the great planet.
"This distant planet Uranus is a
curious world, with its remarkable
system of moons. Its journey takes
more than the alloted three score
years and ten. Its axis lies nearly In
the plane of the orbit, causing a very
peculiar variation of seasons on the
planet"
Uranus will be completely hidden
by the moon for about an hour to
morrow evening. The moon will be in
occultation with a star later the same
evening. Ex.
Last night saw a crisis in the his
tory of undergraduate life at the Uni
versity of Washington safely pass.
Though few marked it, there was a
moment at the ceremony last night
on Denny field when authority and
mutiny were held as in a balance,
when but a little act might have
swung the crowd of first-year men to
ward mob rule or towards control.
Mob rule lost
College jelling took on a new dig
nity in the minds of many at the crit
ical moment With a gang of fifty
sophomores in the offing inviting com
bat and challenging the fighting spir
it of the first-year men. the freshmen
exhibited a quality which la far more
admirable than any other in those
; who possess power, the quality of fore
! bearance. The few small spirits In the
crowd of spoctators who cried "Get
em, fresh," desiring to see blood snea,
felt their littleness when they saw
the dignity with which the freshmen
rose to their feet and drowned class
rivalry with the cheers of their alma
mater. University of Washington
Dally.
The Inevitable Advice
One of the first tasks which will
fall to the lot of many freshmen Is
their choice of a fraternity. For the
benefit of those who will have the op
portunity of becoming members of
the Greek letter societies, a few words
of admonition do not come amiss.
Many a freshman has bound him
self to a fraternity under the spell of
the glamour which Is so attractive to
the uninitiated and has lived to rue
the day when, blinded by the lure of
mysticism, he narrowed his sphere of
friends to a clique and pledged him
self to an organization which, in later
years, became a burden. The posses
sion of puerile secrets, the wearing
of a jewelled pin. a knowledge of the
grip; this is some of the veneer which
so frequently deceives the unsuspect
ing freshman.
The first year man, especially he
who is not thoroughly acquainted
with the eighteen fraternities at the
university, should use deliberation In
his choice, and, before binding him
self in any way, should resort to ma
turer Judgment: he should consult his
dean, inquire of non-fraternity men,
ask the advice of those who are both
fair-m'nded and Intelligent. The fresh
man, before he accepts a bid, must
know that there are fraternities and
fraternities. One society may be his
salvation, another his destruction.
Under all circumstances, he must
realize that haste Is to be avoided.
To rub shoulders with his class
mates and to postpone the day when
he shall count his friends within the
walls of a chapter house. Is the sanest
course for the freshman to follow.
The time will come when pledging
during the autumn quarter will be pro
hibited, when the newcomer will be
given a chance to get his bearings and
not hurried into the act of choosing
his companions of four years by snap
judgment Meanwhile, let the fresh
man keep the buttonhole in his lapel
intact until he has arrived at his
ultimate decision through deliberate
and well-sponsored thought. The
