Tho PI Be. a Phi sorority had entiro control of that edition and made it so far superior to the usual publi cation sen'; forth by tho Jay Hawkers that we suggest letting the young la dies have charge of the paper all the time During the fo all season every one wonders why we o not havo more col- ;c;e songs. An attempt is made in a is meeting in chapel to learn a few V'l YNiar Se -Same on tno wa.;uraay &ySrn' livery one says we should more time and wonders why some uoes not do something. "When the for tho game comes, no one knows tho songs very well, many no- at all, and no one cares to lead. As a result, no one sings. For a suggestion Ave havo this to offer: Have a number of good college songs prepared immediately. There are sevoral professors and students in 'tho univorsity who can writo a goou, hvely song containing collego tradi tions, and to sorno air well known to everyone, btich productions shoujd by all means contain something of our ipast history. This would mako them dear to the alumni, who havo already passed beyond tho collego gates as well as to tnosc who are to graduate in the future. Every ono complains that tho "Univorsity of Nebraska has no tradi tions. Wo think that more tradition will gather around a college song after a few years than around any other single thing. A gathering of alumni in any part of tho country will sing the old songs, calling back things which woro dear to them when in school. As a ineatiB of starting the songs, wo "would Biiggest this: Havo a num 'her of Bongs prepared and presented to somo ono competent to judge of their value. Then, turn those selected over to tho director of tho chorus classes and let hor drill the memburs upon them. By this meuns a good founda tion will bo prepared. Noxt fall, a number will know tho Bongs well when tho foot-ball season opens. Others will follow. In a short time, Nebraska will then havo songs to bo bunded down to tho future student body. Wo think Mrs. Ttuy 'montl wouid ulso 'bo willing to under 'talco ouch a 'thing. It would not only !hriiptho univorsity but alBo drqato an 'interest in the chorus work. Tho following clipping from ono of tho daily papers explains itself. vo might say that wo ateo consider "cwo thirty" as stopping the party at an "early hour" if that is what they tic si ro: Iowa City, la., March 22. (SpocUl) Tho three girls' fraternities of tho Univorsity of Iowa, tho Kappa Kappa Gammas, tho Delta Gammas and. the i'l Beta Phis held a meeting Thursday night at tho invitation of tho Kappa Kappa Gammas to discuss thp late hours for university partes that now obtain. There was a discussion u tho matter for a long time without any nefinito conclusion, a majority of tho girls not being anxious to tako any action in regard to tho matter. Final ly a motion was passed that all the girls present go homo from the junior promenade, to bo helu April 12, at half past two. All cho girls present agreed to do this. The girls are now afraid that the credit for their action will be taken by Miss Young, the dean of wo men, who wroto an article for the Vidotte-Reporter, tho college newspa per, favoring earlier party hours very strongly. The girls claim that their action was taken on their own initia tive and that the only suggestion for it was taKon from something that Presi dent MacLean said about the matter. They will try the plan of going home early at tho promenrao, and if they liko it will probably adopt a perma nent understanding. Tho action of tho three fraternities practically means that the promenade will end at 2:30. STANFORD DEBATE The deuRcO wun i.eianu Stanford has been postponed untn noxt fall. This action has been taken beacuse of tho number of contests to be he'd here this year and tho short time for pre paration upon tho question. A short comment upon tho negotia tions -will no doubt 'prove of interest to all. Last Docembor, a Stanford student wroto to a "University of Ne braska student asking if a debate be tweon tho two institutions would no possible. Tho negotiations woro then curried over to tho debating associa tions of tho two universities. "Lolnrwl Stanford refused to pay tho Nobraska debaters' oxponses to tno coast but made a proposition which would dl vido tho responsibility between the two organizations, Stanford would tako tho debate but Nebraska was to pay one hundred dollars toward tho cxponBes, and noxt year the arrange ment was to bo reversed. However, if Nebraska so desircu she could havo tho dobato this year and Stanford would tako it noxt year under tho sunic arraugomont. Tho local associa tion saw lit to reject this proposition, and offered to ussumo tho rosponsibil- icy of carrying through tho contest for this year, if Loland Stanford would do the same for tho following year. That institution immediately accepted the plan. However, so much time hau boon consumed by tho correspondonco that tho middlo of March had come with no question yet solected. This would leave only about a month for preparation, or possibly loss If any dif ilculty wore to bo oxpor.enced in tho Boloctlon of tho question. Tho asBocln .Ion decided that tho tlmo was too Bhorc and immedlacoly informed Stan ford that Nobraska would liko to post pone tho contest until next full. This of course, brought the nogotlalloiiB to a standstill. ArraugementB for tho content will bo taken up again noxt tall. We thon hope to boo qulckor work and a miccoBSful end to tho attompto of tho associations. Tno ice bus now been broken and this will, o. courBO, mako it much easier. In -addition, tho date Ib practically Bet. If all will now pull togothor Nebraska und 'Loland Stanford can carry out tho greatest de bate ever planned between American colleges. - RUBBER HEELS. We all know the conscienceless lag gard who tlp-totis awkardly into class just aftor roll-call. Why do his shoes always squeak so cxcruslatingly? Ho never is content to slink into tho ilrst chair In his path but must rasp his way to tho very farthest vacant seat. All work is suspended.- Every finer nervous sensibility is set on edge as when a saw is filed. Another of tho species timidly opens t.ie chapel door xlnrlng tho doxoiogy and with deliberate villainy waits till prayer is begun before bringing in his vociferous shoes. It is not always a squeak. Ordinary heels with the best intentions in the world can not walk a wooden floor in quiet. Did you never discover that all tho noise in walking is made with the iieels? Wear rubber heels and you win see. Wear rubber heels and the amount of nervous energy which you will save yourself and those around you in your daily peregrinations through class-rooms, chapel, gymnas ium, library, and halls will bo beyond estimate. Legislative appropriations for uni versity carpets aro small and as long as our floors aro all brre and many aro of hard wood, rubber heels, like vaccination, should bo compulsory It is a physiological axiom that all potty irritants, a scratching pen, a squeaking shoo, a tight collar, each dis sipates that priceless nervous force which is laid under direct levy in mental work, and every annoyance. of this sort directly affects both quantity and quality of our work. Again, did you never notice, espec ially when you aro tired, the jar which comos to the haso of tho brain through tho spinal cord at each stroke of your heel on the hard pavomont? Put a rubber heel on each shoo and note tho relief. Rubber necks aro not unknown, why not rubber heels and rubber shoos? There should be 3,000 on the university campus.
