And get all our lessons; but
We go to our eight o'clock Wednes

And find that we don't know a

We run to our nine o'clock wishing
'twere ten.
Or at half past we'd hear the bell
ring.
We bluff through our French and
in Spanish we sleep,
"ir only I'd studied," we say
But the time-taking. Jaw-breaking col
lege life
Is Just too infernally gay.
Ia English and History, in Lit. and
in Math.
We bluff, and stay in our rut
And we find at the end of our four
year course,
We wish that we'd studied, but

to tiiu hlownoss of the Omaha men
in furnishing the necessary rt ports
an I information desired by the cum
milt' e. As soon as all ti'ii data is

of what to expect within. High
class cartoons and live jokes filled
the pages of the Nebraska Awgwan.
All of the well known cartoonists
had contributed to make the art
section of the comic the beet ever,
and a number of new pen-wielders
made their first showing. There is
no mistaking the fact that tho pie
diction was not over-boastful that
all of the artists had come to Ne
braska this year.
As lor jokes, well there ate a lot
of funny men in Nebraska, judging
from the results. Jokes are of the
brand new. bright, liVf variety.
Theie isn't any "Aw, 1 heard that
one before." Not only has all the
funny stuff in Nebraska been un
covered in this issue but the best of
the work from other college comics
is reproduced as well.
"May you enter into the Spirit of
our wonderful institution" is the
title of the drawing which serve?
as an introduction to the eri.;u3
pages, the editorials. Throughout
the book, that spirit is manifest.
You just can't help getting the spirit
if you read this issue. It gives the
glad hand to the freshmen aul re
news acquaintance with all the old
readers.
Sigma Delta Chi, .men's; journal
istic fraternity, publishes Awgwan.

university, will also speak. He will
explain to the first-year men some ot
the traditions of the Cornhusker
school and will tell them some of the

university, its customs fnrt traditions,
was not published this ear because
of the prohibitive cost. The freshmen
are required to atu 1 this convoca
tion in a body. The information that

of the institution and will benefit
them as well by making them better

institution and better men in later
life.

primary purpose of their attendance
here and this fact will he duly ex
plained in relation to the other acti
vities in which students engage.

cation. Every first year student who
has the proper spirit and who is in
terested in ither himself of the insti
tution, will be present at the meet
