TARDIES AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE.
Multitudes of tardy marks are ranged on the rosters of classes in
the UniTersity each day. Just after the be'.ls ring there is a group
of students which saunters in to each classroom and takeo their
individual seats. The practice has become a habit with some and a
mania with others. Efforts on the part of instructors to stop this
practice seem to be of little or no avail. The general listless attitude
which the student takes when he receives demerits for lardies has
broken down the only weapon which the instructor has to prevent
tardiea. So in they come after the period has begun little caring
whether they are late or not Some never take time to note whether
or not the class is opened. But the student who takes time to think
out the question will come to the conclusion that the practice or
habit of being tardy will be a detriment to him in his after college
life. When he gets out into the world of affairs where things run on
schedule he will find that the business world is not willing to wait
until he is ready before taking up its matters. If he isn't on the Job
when his appointments should be met he will find that distrust will
take the place of confidence and that business will be slack after a
time. Promptness is tf pre requisite in business and although a
requirement in college it is often laid aside by the student for his
substitute the pipe course in being late.
THE COMING
Friday night all loyal Huskers will gather themselves together
at the Armory to join in the great rally which precedes the home
coming game. The Notre Dame men are coming with one tie, two
victories and two defeats at the hands of Nebraska staring them in
the face. It is a game to break the deadlock and the cheering
bleachers are to be depended upon to help with all their available
powers to bring Nebraska victory. That is the purpose ot the great
rally Friday night to instill spirit and fire and fight Into the hearts
of loyal Nebraskans and to get them up on their toes for the game.
The cheer leaders will be there with their over supply of lung power.
The grads will be there with their matured confidence in Nebraska
and Nebraska teams. The entire University should turn out until
the campus resounds with the cheers of students as they pep up
for the fray. It will indeed be a grand occasion and one never to be
forgotten In the minds of young Nebraskans. The fire of enthusiasm
which will be liberated at the rally will show them the spirit and
faith of Nebraska men and women and will help them in coming
years to show incoming classes the real true Nebraska spirit.
THE BANQUET.
One thousand Cornhuekers will attend the great banquet at the
Scottish Rite Temple tonight Great speakers will address these
students on matters of religious import To say religious does not
necessitate that the banquet will be a camp meeting as so many
seem to fear from the anxious queries that are made when tickets are
purchased. Dr. John Timothy Stone of Chicago will be the principal
speaker. Dr. Stone's broad learning and wide travels enable him to
speak from a standpoint of personal experience. His talk tonight
will doubSess be of interest to every student who is able to attend
the banquet. And besides this there will be speeches by prominent
faculty members, alumni and students. The evening will assuredly
be one which holds much for Nebraska students and the Committee
of Two Hundred deserves a great deal of praise for the masterful
manner in which they have arranged for banqueting so large a
n imber of students and for the splendid program which they have
bten a ale to arrange.
THE LULL BEFORE THE STORM.
Sophomore and Freshmen tryouts and class meetings although
on the quiet are forerunners of the great class scrap Saturday.
Organization is taking place In both classes in hope of victory at the
great Olympics. The annual president and class officer kidnapping
will probably be held as usual. The stealing away of runners, boxers
and other athletes is expected by both classes and moves are probably
on foot to perpetrate or prevent these crimes. The spirit of the
Olympics Is one of fight The grand old spirit of Nebraska is
exhibited here while yet in its embryo. The husky lads of the
Sophomore and Yearling classes are the men who will be the Ne
braskans of the gridiron and track, the arena ana court in the nest
two years and it is the grand old pep that they show in the first two
years at the Olympics which enables the University to pick her men
who have that fire and fight for which Nebraska is famous. But
this quiet it Is as the calm before the hurricane, the quirt before the
storm.

10.000 students enrolled there save
some of "Dod's Coin" wh'. n Uic ,
published a U.nx list of profitfC'ring
landlords who were charging siuOenis
exorbitant rates for rooms.

from $25 a month to $40 and in some
cases $50. when the avai.-mcht or
new studtnts descended upon the city
of Urban and Champaign.. Illinois.

Someone asked me yesterday
whether or not the Senior class could
elect minor officers. When I asked
her why not the looked at me in
dismay and said: "Well, aren't most
of them of age?" This made me
think of the little girl across the way.
"There are more mystic fish In the
Freshman class than those initiated
Saturday." said a Sophomore yester
day. "And most of them will not be
mystic after Saturday morning."
If five pounds ot dynamite will

much buck-shot would It take to

Since the graders and garbage men
have made the old-time "No Man's
Land" look like a fine etreteh of
country land, men have found that
the University "No Man's Land" has
shifted in the direction of the cottage

This is a wicked campus. The
library doors are swinging, and the
nen on the new campus lots are
home-wreckers.
Many University students are stndy
ing the use of the barometer in front

is estimated that the largest enroll

is enthusiastic about astronomy as
