be done on these mornings. Compe
tition on the rifle team is open to all

ANNOUNCING OUR CANDIDACY
Like some other persons, we tried to file our candidacy for the office
of junior president at the office of the Agent for Student Activities, but
unlike them, our application was not accepted. There seems to be a cabal
..;., t. tk. thnf nnr ennriidnev was oerfectly letral. the
agaiuob UO All BJII.C V. WHJ A I. V. K w.mv w -
Innocents Society held a meeting and declared they would not allow our
name to appear on the ballot And since the Innocents run me scnooi, our
name does not appear.
We feel that we could do a more creditable job of planting the ivy than
could any other junior in school. No one has ever tried to do it with a
monocle in one eye, and no one but ourself is able to. We have a reputa
tion among our friends for being graceful, and fancy we couia lend a cnarm
to that ceremo: y that it has never yet possessed. These, then, are our
qualifications.
e e
In conclusion, we appeal to the student body to support our candidacy,
herewith announced, by writing in our name on the ballots for junior presi
dent This insidious Machiavellian conspiracy must be overcome; the pol
itics of the campus must no longer be in the grip of those Oread octopi, the
politicians. One member of Theta Nu Epsilon has already announced mat
he would support us. We ask that the intelligent persons on the campus
give us their votes. May we may the best man win !
AN OBVIOUS CORRECTION
I now know that only in fairy tales are there perfect printers and fault
less proofreaders .... In my portrait of A Patron 01 the Arts and Let
ters, published Friday, I was made to say, "He was the Maecenas of the
Olympian group. If any of them achieve immorality, he will be lamous in
literary history." I wrote, of course, "achieve immortality. I would not
sully the character of my friend by even hinting that any of his associates
would gain note, like Byron, Stevenson, or Wordsworth, by their indiscre
tions as well as their literature.

A PROTEST
Dear Claire:
I wish to admonish you as follows: CUT OUT THIS TALK
ABOUT THE BULLETIN BOARDS! As the official guardian of these
public institutions my back is broke and my fingers froze doing free
advertising for all of the uncounted organizations flourishing and oth
erwise. If you drive these herbaseous professors into resorting to these
aforesaid bulletin boards for vieing with one another in a widespread
literary contest you will need a porter house steak for a monocle and
a crutch for a cain. I aint a literary man myself and so are some oth
ers and I am agin making me suffer for the idlein' sins of others. If
you are so anshius to see them strut there stuff I would sugjest turn
ing over the two columns of yours to them.
BILL POSTER.
In response to numerous requests, not including our own, we print
today a sketch by Satyranus. As might be expected, it is quite the longest
article we have run or expect to run this year.

CLAIRE MONTESREY: A MEMOIR
I met Claire Montesrey first at one of Basil Barley's fashionable teas.
Instantly, I was struck by his tall, stately body, his golden hair, his languid
air, and that vague "je ne sais quoi qui plait" When we were introduced,
I said, as is customary, "I am pleased to make your acquaintance," for I
had heard of this exasperatingly brilliant young man; but he only stared
at me blankly through his monocle. Our first meeting, therefore, was not
indicative of the intimate friendship which was to spring up between us or
of the great influence he was to wield over me.
There is an old saying, that one might as well be out of the world as
out of fashion, which applies to more than clothes. Yet Claire dared to
challenge the conventions by his every action. He was courageous enough
to be critical, radical, and cynical in a society which was complacent, con
servative, and optimistic.
He reminds me of only one person the Sir Henry Wotton of Oscar
Wilde's sardonic "Picture of Dorian Gray." He was more than an amateur
egoist. He came, in time, to believe in the sincerity of some of his affecta
tions. He spoke as if he cared for nothing but his whims and his prejudices:
he never said a moral, although he never did a wrong thing. He tempered
his cynicism by silence. He was a genial skeptic, if there was ever one.
He did not, however, succeed in making himself altogether unfeeling, for,
as Horace said, though you expel nature with a pitchfork, she will yet al
ways come back.
His cynicism was matched only by his equanimity. He was never in
terested, never shocked. He was always bored, except when he was talking
his nonsense logically. There was nothing he would not attempt or leave
undone. His poise was perfect. Pretences, he held, were all that mattered,
and, if he had anything to gain thereby, he used either simulation or dissim
ulation with a mastery that was Machiavellian. This meant, of course, that
his instructors and his classmates did not know how to take him, and that
consequently he had much occasion to seek the consolation of his art
Montesrey was a man of prodigious energy and his output of work was
enormous. His poetry was in the manner of Byron and T. S. Eliot His
free verse was characterized by a note of mystic lyricism. His prose was a
terse, pithy superjournalese which, on occasions, approached classic gravity.
His essays were budgets of epigrams. He trained himself to write for a
select circle: he succeeded.
As an editor, he won fame early by the versatility and facility of his
pen and the charm of his personality. His Olympian column, first printed
in The Daily Nebraskan, was the sensation of two decades. Everyone en
joyed working for him and he had no difficulties with his contributors. His
friends were, of course, not critical of his work, and he always said that he
had had neither an intelligent critic nor an intelligent enemy.
It it the fashion now to scorn Montesrey, as if he were only the great
est of a company of wits, just as, some years ago, it was the mode for every
zany to ridicule Queen Victoria as the most eminent of the Victorians. He
had his faults, to be sure; but the time will come, I am bold enough to pre
dict when we will be proud to say we went to school with Claire Montesrey,
the twentieth-century Dean Swift
SATYRANUS.
We extend a most cordial welcome to the newspaper editors who are
the guests of the University during Journalism Week. More power to them!
