Published every day during the college year. Subscription, per semester, $1. Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, us second class mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. The price of the Daily Kansan is $3.00 per year in advance, or $1.75 per semester. If the price of The Nebraskan were the same as that of the Kansan, that price, added to the $4.00 charged for student athletic tickets at Nebraska, would total seven dollars a year or the total amount of the proposed single tax for one year. As the plan is now, for seven dollars, the students at Nebraska will be given the benefit of admittance to all of the athletic events, the medical supervision, The Daily Nebraskan, debates, all dramatics including class plays, Ivy day, mixers, University night, the expenses of the Ag college Judging teams will be paid and it will be possible to obtain outside talent for the convocations. All this for seven dollars a year! The January number of the Awgwan came out yesterday and it 1s one of the best issues that the staff has ever put out. The cover is especially novel, and the cartoons and jokes are clever and still maintain a refreshing dignity. The whole tone of Awgwan, this year, has been greatly advanced, and it can be compared easily with the best publications of its kind in the country. Some one has said that four years of University work and four years of graduate work all study would make a woman lose all of her womanliness, gain no masculinity and become a drab imperson ality. That is .just about right. Life is not worth living unless a person can keep a personality and have an interest in humanity. The most forceful characters in the world today are the most human. One argument against the single tax is that students come to the University for teachnical knowledge that will form a basis of a liveli hood. It is granted that the fundamental object of a university is to give the so-called "technical knowledge," but a university does not hold this as "the only" object of its existence. Technical knowledge can be got by apprenticeship, in a business college or correspondence school. The university has the power to combine this technical knowledge with the social advantages of the university, and put that combined knowledge to a better use for himself and society as a whole. The man or woman who gets only a technical knowledge out of his university career is not an educated person. The man or woman who gets, along with this technical knowledge, the ability to know and enjoy his fellow men, that ability that is the result of student activities while in college; has the best that a uni versity can give. FORUM To the Editor of The Daily Nebraskan. Unjust, unfounded and quite child ish criticism of the Lincoln Open Forum was made by spokesmen for the militant debaters In yesterday's Daily Nebraskan. Charges of "unfair dealing" and "that the audience was a packed audience" were made. As secretary of the Open Forum, I wish to state that all the advertising for the debate and all the packing, if any, was done in the following man ner, and entirely by myself. In the first place twenty or more placards announcing the meeting were posted cn and about the campus. These placards invited all students and were posted from the Y. M. C. A. lobby to the very door of the military department The failure of the mili tary department to respond was quite as disappointing to myself as to its defenders, although two hundred oth ers did respond. As secretary of the Open Forum I also wish to state that although Lin coln business men are back.ag the Forum as a meeting place for them selves, an invitation will be extended as in the past to the University stu dents. I can announce the editor of the Omaha Bee for this coming Sun day; and the son of ount Leo Tolstoi for still later. If you choose to at tend, kindly refuse to be packed. FRANK L. iftXENB AUG H.

Stoddard, chairman Miss Clara Slade, a member of the class in educational measurements, gave a very interesting an instruc tive talk Tuesday afternoon on the Binet and Simon tests in determining the mentality of pupils. Miss Slade is the authority on the use of these tests in the Lincol npublic schools. What The Single Txxx Will Be The single tax, on which students will be asked to vote registrar tlon week, is outlined below. It provides for fee of $3.50 semester, which would raise on a conservative estimate, $21,000 a year. Tho tax would be distributed according to the table. Athletics $10,000 Medical Supervision 6,000 Daily Nebraskan 3,500 Dramatics 600 Mixers 500 Debate 300 Ag College Judging Team 300 University Night..'. 300 Ivy Day Convocations .......... .300 230 Who will pay?: All students registered for twelve or more hours will pay the tax although excuses for financial inability or other good and sufficient rea sons will be accepted. Collection: The tax will be collected as a part of the regis tration fee at the beginning of each semester. Athletics: This sum would go for the supiort of both men's and women's athletics. "Payment of the tax would admit to all athletic contests, intercollegiate games, and exhibitions free. Medical Supervision: Every student paying the tax would be given absolutely free expert medical advice and would bo en couraged to consult a physician on every needed occasion. A visiting nurse would probably be secured. Daily Nebraskan: Every stu dent entitled to a copy of the paper. The Nebraskan could be made far better and more repre sentative, with many features now impossible of securing. A special student wire from every away from home football game. Dramatics: This sum would be made available for the School of Drama, and the junior and senior classes. It would insure to each student a free perform ance of every play of the school of Drama, and the senior and Junior class plays. Mixers: A proper number of mixers during the year, given to all students free of charge. Debate: All students would be admitted to the debates fre. Debating would be placed on a proper financial basis.

University Night: All stu dents to see the performance free of charge at the city audi torium, or two performances at a theatre. Better and more elab orate Stunts.

Convocations: This sum, would be used to bring nationally fa mous speakers and lecturers, or other good features to the con- vocations. Incidental: All excess over the $21,000, would be made a part of the Incidental fund. This should include for the students free admission into the art ex hibits, possibly the May music festival, tho girls' costume party, and enable the student activities office to enlarge the scope of its activities.
