Entered at the rostoffice at Lincoln. Nebraska, as second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3. 1S79.
Two more days in which to register.
One week ago Tuesday, enthusiastic rallies were held by both
the men tnd women, for the consideration of the needs of medical
supervision and its establishment at Nebraska. Everyone went away
from them filled with the idea that we should see medical supervision
at the University everyone wanted it but that's all.
It was a pretty bubble and a big one that went sailing high, has it
burst?
With winter coming on, and the inevitable illness that com.-s with
the snow and cold, something should be done immediately.
The weather man predicts a long, cold winter, which means much
illness. EverVone feels the need of medical supervision, and everyone
recognizes the advantages included in the proposition. The plan was
launched with much enthusiasm. Will it die down, as other things
have died, or is everyone going to get behind and push the thing?
It has often been said that honor students are not given enough
credit by the universities they attend. The professors argue that
when a man's high school days are over and he is attending an institu
tion of higher learning, he should put away his childishness and be
come independent-he should not expect a professor's personal
interest.
On the other hand, if the instructors only realized that one care
less word will tip the scales, for their victim, they would think twice
before they speak. .
Everyone needs encouragement. It is a physical and mental im
possibility for anyone to keep on the up hill slope if they do not get a
boost, no matter who it is from.
If honor students were granted special liberties or favors the
lists of those holding high scholarship records would grow. Or if
there were an honorary undergraduate society, to which the honor
students could be elected, there would be an incentive that would help.
The beautiful theory of working for the love of work, through
trials and tribulations is nice to talk about, but it's a different thing
when the theory is put into practice without some encouragement
from some one.
The team and the band arrive in Lincoln today, and they
will expect to see us the minute the train stops, just as we expected
them to beat Oregon Aggies the minute the whistle blew.
The Aggies prophesied that they would beat us said they would
and they didn't. Are we glad?

The first "service meeting" of the
year was held in the city Y. M. C. A.
last night. These get-together din
ners will be held on the reception floor
every Wednesday evening throughout
the year. Dinner is served from the
cafeteria, and the men spend the hour
together. A short talk by a well
known man takes up the time until
SO. at which time the meetings are
promptly dismissed. University stu
dents, members of the University as
sociation, are availing themselves of
this opportunity to dine out
j jokes spring up like mushrooms to
In some churches tne organist gets
more money than the minister. There
is more cheering at a big nine game
than over election returns. And
America's greatest city turns itself
loose in the streets on New Year's
eve to welcome in the new year with
bombs, tin horns, confetti, wine and
songs, lest someone should have time
to think a year has fled. Men deco
rate hearse horses with tassels and
cover newly made graves with flowers.
Neither time, brains, nor, above all,'
money is spared in covering up the
rough edges of the world, and it is
well, for people love to laugh and
needs must laugh, it seems.
Life is too serious ever to be taken
seriously. Ex.
At the University of California, a
big Japamarino rally wood wagon got
away from the freshmen bringing it
from the Greek theater. It carromed
its way down the road to the gym,
plunging into the wall and tearing an
eight-inch hole in the 6ide of the build
ing. No students were injured. Ex.
The newspaper known as the First
Illinois Cavalryman, which was pub
lished by that body while In Texas,
will be continued as a permanent in
stitution in Chicago and will be sent
to all "alumni" members of the cav
alry. Ex. v
Minnesota has revived its former
policy of requiring noon-day chapel ex
ercises and will continue the scheme
throughout the year Exchange.

of this week, October 8, at the office
of the city clerk at the city hall. Tenth

Students who registered for the pri
maries last May, but who have changed
, their residence since that time, do
not need to register in order to vote,
i Ail others must register, or they will
j not be given a ballot at the polls on

i Lincoln should be registered as the

ing purposes during their four years
of college life. If Lincoln is not regis
tered as the home city, the student
will lose his vote.
In addition to the complete national,
state and county tickets to be voted
upon this fall, the voters will be asked
to pass judgment on two constitutional
amendments, the most important being
the one proposing to make Nebraska
dry in May, 1917, and on a proposition
to submit bonds of fSOO.000 to pave
Lancaster county country roads.
On Amusement
The most serious business of man
is to keep himself and his species
amused. Let him who doubts com
pare the annual incomes of Charles
Chaplin or Mary Fickford and the
highest salaried professor in the coun
try. It is easier to sell limericks and jin
gles to any daily than to land a scien
tific essay with a top-notch monthly.
The most expensive gown a woman
wears is the one she dons for the
theater or the dance. The circulation
nf Pnnrh and Life nroves how serl-!
ously people take the business of be
ing amused, and recent cartoon peri
odicals which have sprung up in Eng
land and France show that even the
great war has a funny s:de. Funeral
directors do as many funny things as
the proverbial small boy, according to
Judge, and corofc supplements print
as many jokes about ministers and
mother-in-law3 as they do about Irish
men. Talking machines are more expen
sive than telephones, not became they
are of more scientific value, but be
cause one is meant for business, the
other for fun. Whenever anyone gets
as serious as the socialist or the
woman suffrage party, cartoons and

Concerning Good Fellows
How often have we heard the de
fense, "He's a good fellow anyway,"
brought forward to excuse a man lor
any faults he may have? He do
not need ambition, ability or excep
tional lorce to meet with student la
yer. If be is a good fe.low, all his
failings in other respects are for
gotten. Of course, it's nice to be p'easant
and popular, ani we all like to be
considered as good fellows. But there
are other things to consider. If Lin-
ccji had been content to let his good i
jalities consist of mere good fellow
ship we would probably be paying duty
-every time we sent goods across the
Mason and Dixon line, while congress
would have about twenty senators iess
than it now has.
We admire the good fellow all right,
but we like to see his pleasant dispo
sition backed op by an inclination to
do things. Daily IllinL
