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.

Against Training
The students In Michigan do not
favor a course in military training,
only 150 out of five thousand stu
dents expressed any desire to take
such a course. Texas can at least be
thankful that there are no 6laclrers
among her students. Ex.
Training
Two years of military training is
now a senior requirement for Cor
nell men. Those electing the course
for four years will receive a salary
from the government, and upon grad
uation will be commissioned as sec
ond lieutenants.
