YOUR DUTY TO VOTE No matter what you think about the candidates for office today, it is your duty to vote. The polls will be open from 9 to 12 o'clock in the morning and from 2 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon -giving everyone ample time to express their preference. You are to select officers who will guide the classes through what may well be called the critical period in student life at the University. Great things are going to happen this semester. Tho Student Council, the semi-centennial, the pageant, Ivy Hay, all will mark high spots in the history and tradition of the University. Select officers who will reflect credit upon the student body. Vote for the man or woman you think will be most honest, fearless and impartial, regardless of the promptings of selfishness. Let everyone vote, so that the candidates who are successful will be representative, as near as possible, of most of the people of the class, and not representatives, merely, of a small group. If the red heads are all for woman's suffrage, who can be against It? Today is the day of the warm smile and the genial handshake and tomorrow will be the open season on lame ducks.

Tho following literary pro duction was sent to the editor for his Forum column, but it was so fear uflly good that ho unselfishly turned it over to us to add value to brighten our own little corner. Editor, Tho Forum, Daily Nebraskan. Dear Editor: Of the I crave a boon, Sir, Editor, n, boon. For Pete's sake put on that guy Who thinks that he By deviding. Forsooth, Nothing Into its component parts, Makes something, the lid; And If his advice is good In your Most able judgment. Then, Oh! Editor! Follow it and exercise, As he has urged subscribers to do, DISCRIMINATION. In answer let me say, Dear contributor To the Fourm Column That DISCRIMINATION Spelled in capitals Or spelled Any old way Is a rare word . Yea, Even so Dear contributor And even in Spelling Why not spell The word Dividing. Instead of D-e v-i-d-i-n-g? Why not use discrimination? "Of the I crave A boon." Of the What, dear contributor. Discrimination Is a Wonderful word. Dear contributor, And used with Discrimination Is even valuable Unto the price Of rubies. Dear contributor. The Phi Psis got about three or four dozen invitations, more or less to the Kappa formal. Who knows some more gossip? This column is getting stale for want of more "news." Just now the editor is sewing but tons on his overcoat while the girls on the staff are thinking what a rare and beautiful sight it is. Sing a song of springtime And of birds and bees; Sing a song of politics. And of num'rous plum trees. Sing a song of springtime, Sing a song that's been sung; They do not need the birds and bees.
