FRESHMAN CAPS
Freshman caps .the medium used every fall to identify freshmen
and get them acquainted with one another, will be worn this year
again, after an announcement by the Innocents. Due to untitled
conditions at the school last year and also to the encampment of the
S. A. T. C. at the university this custom was temporarily abandoned.
For eight years the wearing of caps by the new students has been
an annual 'custom and it is now an established fact that these green
caps' are even counted as a Nebraska tradition. Every first-year man
is expected 10 wear one of the skull-caps on the campus until cold
weather sets in. By ;his time the first class meeting will have been
held and some organization perfected.
The price of these caps will be so low that it can be spared for
such a purpose by everyone. New students should see to it that their
classmates buy a cap and wear it every day. At the Iowa state
agricultural college at Ames, freshmen have the privilege of "tossing"
all their fellow freshmen who fail to live up to the tradition, but
this has not yet been found necessary at Nebraska.
THE UNIVERSITY MELTING POT
The University of Nebraska does not represent inertly certain dis
tricts in the state, or even the state of Nebraska alone. Does the
average student realize that many students at his college often come
from states' many thousands of miles away, and from schools in re
mote parts of the country? When this is true, and it certainly is a
fact, the students themselves are not alone thrown together, but their
ideas and educational principles are brought into direct concurrence,
and a new atmosphere is brought about.
It takes the man from an eastern college just a little while to
acclimate himself, we may say, to the way Nebraska does things just
as a man from a college on the Pacific coast would find that the
system of the central-western college differs from their system. To
think that the University of Nebraska is" the only existing university
is of course narrow, because a little advice from a larger eastern
college here, and a linle suggestion from a western mvn there, serves
to bring about a gre; ler educational efficiency at our own schooL
And after all it is the people- who make up the school who are
responsible for its reputation and not the old and time-worn tradi
tions of the college. They are sti'l held fccred. but new faces and
lew ideas change conditions, and charge th'-m mightily.
ACTIVITIES FOR GIRLS
As freshmen girls coming to school represent a wide and varied
range of interest at d activities, so will they find as :.iany uiTerent
interests and activities to turn to here in the university. A cosmo
politan community in its' small way, the university h.is departments
which will appeal to every one. The girl who like? athb -tics may
spend her time in the gymnasium and on the athletic field. Baseball,
soccer, tennis, basketball, track, and hiking will off'-r their attrac
tions to her. The lib rary girl who is interested in journalism will
find courses in pra-tkal newspaper work, and the priviles- of ex
perience in reporting for the Daily Nebraskan. There is also the
journalistic s'orcrity, Theta Sigma Phi. to lend her inspiration and
the companionship of kindred mines.
The girl who likes to devote time to the unfortunate, the prov
erty stricken, the homeless will enjoy affiliating with the V. W. C. A.
The girl with histrionic ability will find the dramatic club and the
elocution department a source of pleasure. The glee club and uni
versity orchestra will be appreciated by the musician. The new girl
should decide what activity or activities she wishes most to empha
size and identify herself with it or them. In that way she will make
friends, become more proficient along that particular line, and find
her niche in university affairs.
THE PROFFESSOR IN BUSINESS
Has the war given a new status to college professors? Popular
c pinion of their practical abilities had heretofore contained an ele
ment of scepticism, which is now pretty generally dispelled by the
exhibition of competence in many fields of service outside their class
room:. In the words of President Strayer of the National Educa
tional association, "the war has actually created a market for college
professors. Go over the lists of professors and administrative officers
and you will find some of the biggest names in the story of the
achievements of the war."
The effect is inevitably to inire a competition which the col
leges must m?et through larger salaries if they are to retain the
services of teachers of the first rank. Men of superior endowments
hose ambition was limited to university honors have "matched
minds' with men in other pursuits in the common servic of the'r
country, and the resMlt hs be-n to prjve their powers under condi
tions which naruraHy dispose them to kerp on in the larger field.
One department at Columbia has "lost a dozen good m-n to posi
tions with business or t-en.i -public concerns."
Love of their work will always tend to turn th s ..!; towirc
the coilepe icV men to possess the teaching spiri'. But toJI-ce.-must
pay professors adequate salaries if they are to kp their "at ul-tie-s

At the close of an exceedingly
strenuous rush week, the first social
venture ef the season will be an elab
orate homecoming dance to be given
Saturday evening. September JOth, at
the Rocewllde party house. This will
be the first get-together dance of the
year for university students. All
freshmen will be welcome, as well as
former students, and this will be a
splendid opportunity for those who
are entering into their first university
year to become acquainted with their
classmates. Tickets are available on
the campus.

more than three candidates'. It was
Mr. Rhodes' desire that. In the choice

fondness for and success in out-of-door
sports, qualities of manhood, mor
al force or character and leadership
In school and college life.

tution. 3Certifled evidence as to the

Thursday and Friday evenings of this
week, parties will be held In the Art
Hall of the library building, for nil
girls, especially freshman guis. of
tho university. The W. S. G. A. and

charge of the first party, the Y. W. C.
A., the Becond, and the W. A. A., the

NO SMOKING RULE
The Superintendent of grounds and
buildings of the university announces
that the rule prohibiting smoking on
the campus and in the buildings will
be strictly enforced this year. This
ruling was suspended last year when
the S. A. T. C. men were encamped
at the university.
"Quality Is Economy"
There's nothing
better for you
By that, we mean the guarantee;
here at this store Hart Schaffner
& Marx clothes are guaranteed
to satisfy you. It means that your
clothes expenditures are protect
ed; you're sure of your money's
worth. If you think you don't get
it you get yours back.
The way it hangs
Half the effectiveness of a suit is
in the way the coat hangs. The
fronts, the lapels, the sleeves, all
seem to "flow" into the' general
lines of the draping; and the flare
of the skirt simply carries out the
effect. It is in these respects that
HART SCHAFFNER & MARX
.have been most successful this
season; the suits and overcoats
they've made for us show all the
artistic points.
Double-breasteds
You certainly ought to see these new
models before you spend a cent for
clothes. They're live ones; so are the
"belters;" the newest ideas in clothes
