Albert Pool. '11. of W eeping Water,
is the guest this week of his brother,
Ir. Raymond J. Pool, professor of
botany here in the University. Mr.

of organized agriculture.
! Mrs. G. T. Whitney of Omaha,
(Ruth Bailey, formerly a student
here), read a paper written by G. W.
Hervey of the Twentieth Century
rarnier yesterday morning on "Need
ed Legislation for the Sheep Men."
Mr. Hervey was unable to attend the
meeting on account of illness. Mrs.
Whitney was married only two weeks
ago. Her husband is a jeweler in
Omaha. She has charge of the "Home
Page" of the Twentieth Century
Farmer.
Alice Howell, '05. professor of elo
cution, will read Percy Maekaye's
Jeanne d'Arc" tonight before the stu
dents of Corner university.
There are basketball games Friday and Saturday nights of this
week. The Brandeis team of Omaha will play Friday evening, and
York college Saturday. Both teams are excellent. The Brandeis
term is composed of former university stars who are in business in
Omaha. The York team is one of the strongest in the state.
Both games promise to be well worth while and the Nebraska
men should have a strong support of Nebraska student. A basket
ball game is as interesting as any other form of sport, and both
men and women are making a mistake if they do not -turn out" to
both games.
In a recent issue of the Daily Tesan from the University of
Texas there was a picture of the staff. There were forty-eight in
the picture: The paper is six-column, four page publication,
practically the same size as The Daily Nebraskan. There are seven
teen on the staff of The Daily Nebraskan.
The Forum is a space reserved on this pace for the letters express-ii-g
personal sentiment of individuals.
The letters mast be of a beneficial nature to the University, and
contain no personal animosity nor radical theories. They may have
anonymous s:gnatures, providing the true name of the author is
known to the editor.
The Forum is one of the few mediums of expression that the
students have. There are a great many people who have ideas that
would be immensely helpful to everyone, and it is their duty to
put them in a place where others may see them.
Tbe Single Tax and the Student Council are vital questions of
the moment to this University community. There have been state
ments, news stories and editorial comment on them, and still there
has been no Forum letter. Is it possible that everyone on the
campus agrees with The Daily Nebraskan policy of boosting these
two plans?
If there is to be any arguments put forth either for or against
the single tax or the student council, now is the time for them to
appear, instead of after registration week when they have ben voted
upon and it is too late.
