Well past the three-quarter century milestone, but with ambition for self-culture still strong, Mrs. N. O. Freeman, a widow of a Methodist minister of that name who was well known in the Rock River conference, is taking a special course in American and English lit erature at Northwestern University. Mrs. Freeman started quietly to study at Northwestern last summer and on consulting her teachers as to continuance, they advised her favor ably.

Many Leave Today The longest Christmas vacation in several years will be enjoyed by Uni versity students and faculty mem bers this year as a result of the hap py accident of Christmas and New Year's Day falling on Saturday. The recess officially begnis at noon Sat urday, December 18. Many students will start home today as they do not have classes on Saturday. The first day of school after the recess will be Monday, January 3, 1927. Not many students are expected to remain in Lincoln until Tuesday to take advantage of the reduced hoi Iday fares offered by the Burlington railroad. The reduction, students sav. is not worth the extra board they would have to pay while in Lin- coin waiting for the train, and the three days at home are more than worth whatever saving might be ef fee ted. May Attend Conventions Eighteen members of the student Christian organizations will go to the Milwaukee National Student confer ence. Another convention in Wiscon sin will be the National Lutheran students convention at Madison. Delegates from the Universiy Meth odist Student council will attend the central region conference of church workers at Chicago, January 3, 4, and 5. .The Christmas holidays are also the popular time of year for college professors to hold sectional meetings of the various scientific and academ ic societies.

Meanwhile Jake's (that is, Alliga tor Jake's) disposition remains unim proved, according to Prof. J. E. Guthrie of the Zoology department. If anyone approaches his cage he jumps at him with a hissing noise, his mouth open, ready to feast upon a piece of nice warm flesh only to be stopped by the closely woven sides of his wire cage. Alligator Jake's diet consists chiefly of meat, which he is fed once a week. He is about five years old, accord ing to Professor Guthrie. Delinquincy Reports Are Still Being bent Out By Dean's Office "All reports of delinquent stu dents have not yet reached the Ex ecutive Dean's office," said Mr. Har per, assistant to the Executive Dean, "so that a definite comparison with those of last quarter cannot be made." It might be well for those students who have escaped the Dean's notice to wait until after Christmas vaca tion before they celebrate. Although the majority of the reports have been made, yet there are always a few scattered ones which make it impos sible to take final action. After vacation all the reports from the pro-1 fessors will have been made, then final action will be taken.
