The following Ih the program for convocation hour for the ensuing week: Thursday, Nov. G Professor Rob bins. Friday, Nov. 7 Music. Some freshmen who did not have tho chance to go home and vote aro waiting anxiously for Thanksgiving to come, when they will again have a hance to taste a good meal. Many students caught colds staying out of doors Tuesday night waiting to bear of election returns. The night was too told for comlort and not many remained late. The young ladies of the university seem to prefer to read the papers be longing to gentlemen friends rather than place their names on the sub scription list. The glee dub is looking forward to its tlrst appearance in public with a complete repertoire. They aie being well drilled to make the university re joice in their music. The cold weather puts more snap in to the cadets. They have to keep on tho move to keep warm. They are wondering how it will seem to drill Ave days a week next semester. Chamellor Andrews pronounces the dally paper of the university one of the most successful publications of its kind of which he knows anything about. The largest percentage of students do not appreciate it, however. The leaders of the "rooter" squads request everyone to go to Saturday's game armed with a megaphone. They desire ono thousand "rooters" with megaphones in the rooting squads next Saturday in order to prepare for tho Knox game. There is no doubt but what rooting has helped to win many a victory on tho football flelu and it is tho duty of every student to lend his support for the rest of the season to help prevent Nebraska's goal line from being crossed. If the university gets a nevr building appropriation this winter from the legislature the question will bo whoro to put It. More campus room Is as necessary as now buildings. Our cam pus is ono of the smallest In the coun try, considering the slzo of the university. The gate receipts of the Haskell gamo were twenty-five hundred dol lars. There wero three thousand In attendance. As the Indians received 20 per cent of tho gross receipts and their expenses, Nebraska netted some thing like eighteen hundred dollars. The Increased amount of seating ca pacity upon Nebraska field will make It one of the most completely equipped athletic grounds In the western coun try. Dy the time bleachers are erected to the height of the grandstand at both ends the people will not have to pay to have a chance to get within a board fence and then stand up. Teachers' Association Secretary T. M. Hodgman of the col lege section of the Teachers' associa tion, which meets at Lincoln during the holidays, announces the program that will be carried out by that part of the association. The college section is a division of the entire organization of Nebraska teachers and is composed of college men entirely. President W. E. Shell of York College Is president, and Prof. T. M. Hodgman of the university Is set rotary. These officers have arranged the following pragram, which will con sume two days of the meeting: On the first day Prof. H. W. Cald well, of the department of American history, will discuss the affirmative of the question, "Should a time- require ment be substituted for a subject re quirement for entrance to college.' President Cleorge Sutherland of Grand Island will support the negative. On the second day Dr. C. E. Bessey, of the botany department, will take the affirmative of the question, "Shall the college time be reduced to three years?" President D. K. Kerr of Hello- ue will discuss the negative side of the question. Each of these papers will be gien twenty minutes and the balance of the two afternoons will be devoted to live minute talks. The discussions will be conducted by college men of Nebraska, over fourteen of whom have already i onsented to take part. The topics are ery timely and the support that is be ing gien to them indicates that they are of deep inteiest to colleg" men throughout the state. Department of Astronomy, A valuable addition to tho depart ment of astronomy is a set of transpar ent maps of the sky. Thoy are ar ranged on the sides of a box-like struc ture, lighted from the inside, and so placed upon a pedestal that It can be moved according to the position of the planets. This Invention does away with the necessity of the students' ex amining tho old-fashioned paper charts and making observations separately. A new mounting has just been com pleted for one of the instruments of the observatory and a new pin built for it in the meridian room. Used with its original mounting on one pin, it is' an altazimuth Instrument; with the mounting on the new pin it is a transit Instrument and zenith tele scope combined. The patterns for the castings tre made last spring in our own shops. The mechanical work was done for tho most part by Mr. Chowlns, of tho physics department, during vacation. Questions on lllh Schools. Mr. J. W. Crabtree, inspector of accredited schools, is sending out a large number of letters to the superin tendents of accredited Bchools. Mr. Crabtree Ib making an Investigation as to the effectiveness of our public schools as at present organized from the standpoint of the business man. Ho Intends sending a list of questions to six or eight of the most prominent citizens In every town where there Is one of these schools. The following Is submitted to the business men: 1. What is your opinion ns to tho effectiveness of our public schools as at present organized? 2. To what extent should the public school prepare young men nnd young women for earning a living and, In your Judgment, are the schools meet ing this demand In a satisfactory man ner? 3. What is the high school not doing that It should and what is it doing that it should not do? Mr. Crabtree feels that the results of this Investigation ought to be of considerable value to school men. Wisconsin has a camera club. Yale's musical clubs will take a west ern trip during the Christmas recess. Tho Crown Prince of Slam will be the guest of the University of Chicago on November Gth. It is estimated that American stu dents issue three hundred periodicals, exclusive of fraternity publications. A movement is on foot at Pennsylva nia to compel freshmen to wear black caps to distinguish them from the upper-classmen. - Tho following appeared In the Pur duo Exponent: "'See the poor Soph! Is he going to die?' 'No! He is just trying to work a physics problem.' " Minnesota is to have a new sorority. A group of young women have peti tioned for a chapter from Pi Beta Phi, tho only national sorority not repre sented there. , Indiana is to have a new students' building. John I). Rockefeller has promised $:,()()() for this purpose if the university will raise a like amount. They have already raised $2'i.()00. Michigan men have been burning asphalt paving blot ks which were stacked along tho sides of the streets. Instead of unobtainable coal. Verily Ann Arbor is a hot town. -The Daily Iowan. An important move is now on foot at California to establish a committee of students which shall confer with a committee from the faculty in dealing with cases of breach of discipline on tho part of students.

Pennsylvania freshmen brought down upon themselves the wrath of the sophomores by painting their numer als upon the sidewalks. The sophs seized a few freshmen and were com pelling them to scrub the walks when more freshmen appeared upon the scene. The excitement did not cease until both sides had had enough. A weekly news letter is sent 'ut. from the university to a thousand county papers in Nebraska, Iowa, Col orado and the Black hills.

MADE A GREAT-DIFFERENCE. Railroads Are Great Conveniences When They Cause No Discomfort. Secretary Shaw, tho humorist of tho present administration, tells this story : "I stopped off at Syracuse not a great while ago and listened to two men talking about the tremendous business development of this country in which everybody was sharing Ono of them was making the point that the general prosperity was for tho benefit of the entire community. "'look at thio gnat lailroad, with Its four tiacksrunnlng east anil west," he said. 'It Is a highway of emplro, carrying each day to the Atlantic or tho Pacific the product oi tho factory, the mine and the loom. Wipe it off the map and o cry thing conies to a standstill and we become iinolved In a common ruin.' "Just then the empiie state express came rushing along and a red-hot cin der struck the speaker in the eye. " 'D thesa engines:' imid ho, 'I wish there was not a railroad in tho country.'
