"Lino," formerly oftho Omnltn flee, is
now ntlendiug the Normal School.
We publish in the future tho time table
of the Nebraska It. It. Company. This
will lie an uccommndation to many.
The very pleasant weather, which has
prevailed for the pint low weeks, permits
the students to engage in out-door sports
for oxoroihc.
A. number of the students took a trip
to Topeka, on the legislative excursion
train. They report having a good time at
the capital of Kansas.
Tub Litti.k Ghookuv around the cor
ner. W. W. English has removed his
Grocery to West 11th street, one door
.south of O. Call and see him.
Quito a number of tlio students are
getting the Hhck Hill's fever, and, if the
malady increases, wo may expect to lose
some of our energetic young men.
Whenever the Prof is unavoidably
absent from the Senior class, one of the
members usually takes the chair. No
little ability to teach is shown on the part
of some of the Seniors.
Since the adjournment of the Legisla
ture, the minds of those students of polit
ical tendency have become somewhat
composed, and better recitations on their
part follow as a consequence.
Never have we seen the Opera House
more crowded than it was at the last lee
tuns of Prof. Collier. These lectures have
advoiiised the University well and shown
the ability of Prof. Collier in the science
of Chemistry.
The question of a suitable hall is agi
tating the members of the University Un
ion. There is a movement on foot to get
possession of the Palladian Hall, Satur
day evenings. Wo think the Palladians
would bo wiling to share their hall with
(ho Union in (his way, thus giving an
opportunity for members of the societies
to attend each meeting, if desired.
A hundred stand of arms nrc on their
way from Springfield, and will soon arrive.
Our military boys arc waiting anxiously
for the time when they can proudly march
over the campus of (lie University, fully
equipped for service.
By the action of the Board of Regents
at their recent meeting, students will not
be permuted to room in tho University
building. This will bo a source of incon
venience to a number of students, as good
comfortable rooms are not easily found
elsewhere.
Wo woidd suggest that tho literary
societies of the University organize a
joint lecture committee. Whonever there
is a lecture both societies will patronize
it, and wo think both are equally entitled
to have a voice in the matter of selection
of lecturers.
Oh! it wii3 pitiful. Ho could onlv
loiter near the premises, and dared no
further go. Often would his longing
eyes momentarily behold the lovely vis
ion ; ho could send tender messages by
small boys; but he wouldn't catch the
mumps for any thing.
Tncro was a cheap jewelry man in
town the other day, selling gold lockets,
rings, and numerous other trinkets for
twenty live cents an armful. Wo noticed
quite a number of students patronizing
the man, and we expect to see the dear
creatures profusely ornamented with gold
and silver and rubies fair.
It is a noticeable fact that students at
tend some placo of worship every Sunday,
with scarcely an exception. Tho chapel
exorcises every morning, and the reveren
tial aUcntioa of many of the students to
religious matters throw around tho stu
dents of tho Unlveisity an iullueucc that
cannot fail to be bcuciicial.
