A few University of Nebraska men

roller-skate. All the falls which are
the lot of the beginner, were theirs;
all tho bumps which a hard pave

session, "to have and to hold."
Big, strapping, full-grown men,
some of them past their twenty-first
milestone, were observed gliding to
school on wheels. Some of them
seemed to enjoy the amusement they
furnished local color. Others bore cha
grined countenances which showed
several days ot mental and physical
anguish.
These roller skaters were dressed
almost the same as human beings, ex
cept their head-gear, which in soma
instances was a flaming camouflaged
trench helmet. Perhaps the skaters
were given camouflaged helmets so
that their Identity might possibly be
concealed.
Roller-skating, however, was not
the only frivolous pastime of universi

Gone Crazy?
Fraternities Have!
was ready to begin.
Some of the men carried large vani
ty cases and dorines to class with
then to beautify their already ruddy
complexions others were not quite so
particular and let the brjstles grow
until they were tied with neat little
ribbons of the fraternity colors. Some
carried bricks to class as company;
others had bricks tossed at them as
they walked to class with troubadour
caps and doublets flaunting in the
wind.
The Pipes of Pan were played on
the university campus, and with belts
of leather and gold, the aesthetic men
danced to their hearts' content.
Down on O street little groups of in
terested spectators might have been
observed watching a banjo artist
strum away popular ditties, and then
beg for alms. One university man col
lected as much as $3.00 tor his work
on the guitar. The organ-grinders and
students with monkeys made almost
as much.
Has the University of Nebraska
gone crazy?
Oh, my no, but some think that the
upperclassmen of its fraternitlea have,
when they make their freshmen as
sume the role ot "gilded fools" for a
week before gaining admittance to the
"Inner circle."
