3, 1879.
THE FINAL APPEAL
Today The Daily Nebraskan will
urge the regents to adopt the Single
Tax. The result is speculative.
The legal side having been disposed
of by Dean Hastings' opinion, we will
attempt to prove that the Single Tax
is needed at Nebraska, and that it
is fitting and proper that It be
adopted.
a That the Single Tax is right in prin
ciple is true because it substitutes a
more equitable apportionment of
support for the one we now have. Stu
dents for this purpose may be divided
into two classes. First, there are
those who take the proper part in
student activities. The Single Tax
means that they will pay their just
share and be assured that they are
not paying for benefits which others
receive. For those, of the second
class who do not take the proper in
terest in activities it means that
their interest will be stimulated, thus
adding to their college career a great
educational factor.
The Single Tax is needed at Ne
braska to put some of the student ac
tivities on the proper basis, and to
place student life on a basis commen
surate with the growth of the univer
sity. These reasons will be upheld by the
facts, and they are adequate to con
vince any inquirer that the regents
were justified in adopting the system.

ing and good time. The regular meet
ing will be held Saturday night in
stead of Friday night, because of the
junior play. Visitors are welcome
Saturday.
One of the most prosperous and in
teresting Unions in the college world
is that of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology. It has toecii K exist
ence about eight. years.,. But as the in
stitute is going to move next year, we
will take up their future location and
tell about it.
The new buildings compose what
they call a large educational group,
facing the Charles river in Cambridge.
The Union faces this group in the new
Walker Memorial. Here will be found
a large mess hall, gymnasium," billiard
room, rifle range, bowling alleys, and a
whole story devoted to housing activ
ities, besides the usual club room fa
cilities. The institute finances the
Union, paying for the rooms, lights,
heat and janitor service. Membership
is free.
As to the success the Union has met
there, our correspondent says: "Theye
is nothig like it. If It were not for
the Union there would not be 30 per
cent as much-student life here. From
the standpoint of the activities It is
wonderful as an aid in getting new
men and in other ways." The advice
of -the people back there to Nebras
kans is: "By all means have one."

YOU AND COLLEGE ACTIVITIES
Spectator is a firm believer in par
ticipation in some form or other of
extra-curricular activity for every col
lege man. We sincerely believe that
no man can get the maximum bene
fit from his college career unless he
does participate In some activity. W
base that belief upon a number of
points:
First, that the modern American
college student ought to be an intelli
gent factor in the life of the com
munity, and ought to prepare himself
to that end.
Second, that a man must run his
college work on a business basis if
ho wants to so properly prepare, and
that if he does bo he will have time
for outside activities as well.
Third, that college spirit is helpful
to most men.
And last, that actual benefits ac
crue if a man lets that Bpirit help him.
We believe these truths to be ir
refutable: that a man cannot prepare
for life by living a lop-sided and
undeveloped existence; that the four
years spent in college are the most
important in his entire education, and
if those four years are not spent in
contact with other men, the reault will
be a handicap in after life that can
hardly be overcome.
Even if a man fails to feel the call
of the community spirit in its appeal
to the social side of his nature, it
must appeal to him anyway on a
utilitarian basis. Columbia Spectator;-
