probably continue to enjoy while
at the university."
Ettimates of Expense.
An estimate of the possible ex
penses Incurred by freshmen at
the university has been computed
at $650 for the two semesters. In
cluded In this estimate are $S for
matriculation, which only needs to
be paid once upon entrance into
the school; registration and medi
cal service, each SI; tuition and
Incidental deposits (approximated!
$45; books and supplies $20; hoard
and room. $200: other miscellane
ous expenses (clfurch, recreation,
laundry, etc.l $50; all estimates
beinp made for one semester only.
"Clothing1 or transportation
costs are not Included." says the
bulletin. "Board and room in a
fraternity may not cost more than
board and room of the same qual
ity elsewhere, but chapter dues
and the general expenses of social
life make the expenses somewhat
greater than the estimate."
Cause of Failure.
"Campus Life" devotes an ap
preciable amount of space to the
causes of failuie among frcuhmcn.
giving the potential university
students an idea of what is to be
expected of them when they en
roll at Nebraska. The biggest dif
ference the new student will find
It says is that he will be largely
dependent upon himself in the uni
versity. "One of the greatest reasons for
failure is ineffective use of time,"
declares the bulletin. "Before at
tending a university the majority
of students lived at home, under
the general direction of older mem
bers of the household, who saw
that that the required and neces
sary work was carried out on
schedule. In the University of Ne
braska there is no one to call the
students to account each day and
if they fail to use their time to
the best advantage they see the
results in their cla-sswoik.
Lack of Study.
"Another cause of failure is lack
of study. A student carrying six
teen hours of school work is sup
posed to devote at least an addi
tional thirty-two hours a week to
preparation, making a forty-eight
hour working week. Lack of suf
fint Btiirfv will be reflected in
trades and Dossiblv lead to dismis
sal from the institution.
"Other causes of failure inciuoe
poor high school preparation. 11
npss and overwork, caused by try-
Inir to do too much at one time.
If at the ewi or tne miuuie m
semester, a student has an unsat
isfactory scholastic record in two-
fifths or more oi ins tir,
courses, he is dropped from the
rolls of the university."

dinner. Despite her failings, the
fraternity house cook can scarcely
be accused of springing her vile
handiwork without sufficient
warning. Then comes the second
bell which, to tbe casual observer,
sounds like the initial one; to the
Greek boarder, however, this
second chime has a deeper, more
significant meaning.
Sunday dinners are all the same.
Of course, at times there is varia
tion in salad -it is placed on the
left side of the plate instead of
the right side. Such small expres
sions of thoughtfuiness are ap
preciated and sometimes bring
tears of sentiment to the eyes of
fraternity men.
Sunday Relief.
In order that dyed-in-the-wool-ens
cake enaters may have an ade
ouate excuse to make diner dates,
the Sunday evening meal is graci
ously omitted. With picnic reason
approaching, little demand is ex
pressed for Sunday night lunches,
but some unseeing, thoughtless
lounge pounders have been Known
to request fr&trnity lunches for
Sunday. Some men have been
known to give themselves over to
the police, too. . . .
Monday is open season for soup.,
coucocted from tbe remains of
Sunday's chicken. Just how close
the chicken ever gets to the soup
is a cause of much comment. The
faint taste of chicken is aometimes
noticed, but psychologists could
trace it to the power of suggestion
or imagination.

After entering upon his position
at the University of Nebraska,
that of representative of the uni
versity authorities before the
United States government. Colonel
Kidwell evolved the present system
of issuing equipment, arms, and
clothing. Mr. Kidwell values the
government equipment in his
hands at over $110,000.
"Of all the students in military
science this year there were only
two whom I could not fit in uni
forms," said the colonel with a
laugh. "One was many pounds
overweight and the other was six
feet seven inches in height."
Always Busy.
Colonel Kidwell. who is filty
seven years old, manages to keep
busy in his position at all times.
At the first of the year and
throughout the year he issues and
exchanges uniforms and other
equipment. He also takes care of
all the arms. During tbe summer
months he engineers the cleaning
of all the uniforms on stock. All
the clothing that is worn out is
condemned and Is sent away. He
makes an annual report to the eov-
' ernment officials and orders all
j necessary new provisions during
the summer months.
I Colonel Kidwell has a son in the
i regular army service at present.
He was graduated from the West
Point military academy with the
rank of first lieutenant and is now
stationed at Manilla. Mr. Kid
well's daughter was graduated
