A LESSON IN CIVICS Most students of the University are keenly interested in the state history that is in the making at the capitol, and in the work ing out of the ideal of democracy by nivans of the state legisla ture. So the students have been having a good time watching the biennial performance at the state house this spring. The interest of the University goes far beyond the University appropriations. The University vote last fall was almost unanim ously for prohibition, and the unhappy times that some of the wet senators have had when they have been forced to swallow a dry bill have been a matter of keen interest to the University students. For the sake of the future standing of the democratic party among the students it is well that the legislators were finally able to pass a dry measure. The University has been accustomed to do without buildings like those that have dignified the campuses of most Universities, so the failure of the legislature to provide for a decent state capi tol, and the probable failure now to provide even for an east wing, has not been as surprising as it has been disappointing to the student body. The University student body knows more about the happenings in the legislature, probably, than the legislators realize. There is nothing ominous in that declaration, but a student body is about as keen in estimating human character as any group and some of the legislators may be surprised to find how accurately they have been gauged by the voters here who are going to tell the home folks about the session of the legislature. Most of the student; were surprised by the attempt that was made to kill fraternities and sororities by tacking a rider upon the University appropriation bill a few days ago. The. Greek let ter societies would not have shrunk from a legislative discussion of their merits, and the absence of such was taken as an indication of the better understanding of University life in the state now as compared to some years gone by. The attempt was ruled out on a point of order, and another one is not expected. Altogether it has been a lively winter. The wide-a wake stu dent has found much to keep his interest aroused, and the state cannot but profit by the lessons that the students have been learn ing outside the campus fence. THE TENNIS COURTS For years and years the University students have demanded of the athletic board, tennis courts, adequate for the students who would like to play this most healthful of games, and for just as many years the athletic board has dodged the issire, made promises, or said that nothing could be done. The same problem is before the students and the board this year. Only two courts are available to the student body on the city campus and one at the farm three courts for a student body that probably has a thousand ardent tennis enthusiasts, and would have three or four times that many with adequate facilities. The athletic board, after its meeting two days ago, announced that it had taken action towards securing, or putting in some new tennis courts. No more definite statement was made to The Ne braskan reporter. Let it be hoped that this action will be definite and prompt, so that these fine spring days will not be lost. If The Nebraskan may venture a suggestion, it would be that students interested in tennis secure a list of lots available for courts, within a few blocks of the campus, take the list to the arhletic board and ask that body to maintain courts in good con dition on those lots. If the board will not 4o it, a student associa tion ould undertake this. It is time that the men and women of the University were given an opportunity to enjoy one of the best forms of athletics.
