Some members of the Journalism
class are copying notes from the Nc
braskan and other papers and handing
thorn In. Such work is worthless to
the paper.
It was talked about the university
that the scrubs would play the Bellevue
College team on the home grounds yes
terday or next Monday. This was a
false report, since no return game has
been arranged with Bellevue for any
date this season.
Tho Academy football team has dis
banded. While they did not win a
game this year, they need not be
ashamed of their record, as they could
hardly be expected to win from tho
teams with which they played. Next
year they will be able to make a better
showing.
It has been discovered that the people
who have been seen at the windows of
tho main hall during football games
have a right to be there. They have
been admitted with tickets and for spe
cial obvious reasons. The rooms on
that side of University hall have al
ways been locked during games and
those who occupied places at the win
dows have been given the right by the
football and university authorities.
This will clear up a misunderstanding
which has worried some people.
The university public will unite with
tho athletic board in asking Coach
Booth to remain with tho university
another year. Nebraska oJ?es Jier suc
cess in the last three years in a great
part to his exceptionally level headed
coaching. He has been one of those
men who inspire confidence and con
tend successfully against adverse cir
cumstances. The university could just
ly go into mourning if he should leave
at the time when Nebraska needs him
to aid in maintaining her reputation.
Besides having an enviable record as
master of the gridiron, ho has also
taken great interest In other college
affairs, most notably, the play of last
year. At present he is devoting more
time to another like piece of work.
Verily Nebraska needs more such men,
and can not afford to lose him.
The students of Iowa object to being
required to work on Saturdays to
"make up" their holidays. The fol
lowing editorial appeared In the Dally
Iowan:
"The action of tho Benate In requir
ing Saturday work after vacations and
intermissions Is robbing Peter to pay
Paul. They give up a holiday and then
take one away to make up for this generosity."
The railroads or Michigan will grant
a one and one-third rate for students
who go home to spend Thanksgiving.
Why should the railroads of Nebraska
not offer a similar rate? If the fare
were reduced a large number of stu
dents would spend Thanksgiving at
home, but the recess is too short for
them to bo willing to pay full fare.
As it Is, only those whose homes are
a short distance from Lincoln have tho
pleasure of eating their Thanksgiving
dinners at their fathers' tables.
Dean Reese at Chapel.
Dean Reese spoke at convocation yes
terday morning on the recent supreme
court decision regarding the use of tho
Bible, and sectarian instruction in the
public schools. He said that he was
not there to criticise the action of the
supremo court, but rather to explain
what the decision was. He held that
nearly every one had a mistaken con
ception of what the court passed on,
and if the matter was better understood
criticisms would be less harsh.
He first explained the composition of
the court and how, on account of so
many cases coming before it, they were
disposed of by the aid of the Bupreme
court commission. The work of the
commission is divided into three de
partments and each department is put
lh charge of three commissioners. It Is
the duty of tho commissioners to write
opinions on the coses given them, from
the pleading of the cases and the argu
ment offered. These opinions are then
submitted to the judges, thrco in num
ber, and upon the concurrence of two
of them the opinions are accepted or
rejected. The judgment is then rend
ered, which Is final.
Ho said that the constitution of the
state of Nebraska prohibited the teach
ing of sectarianism In the public
schools. He then briefly stated the
case upon which the court had passed,
and tho points upon which they had
rendered their decision.
A teacher in a county school in one
of the counties of tho state had been
reading tho Bible daily, offering prayer
and singing sacred songs. This, in it
self, the dean said, was not illegal, but
the teacher testified in court that she
did tills for the purpose of teaching
sectarianism. Therefore the court
rendered a decision against the teach
er. Many unsuccessful attempts have
been made to manufacture syrup from
beets. Tho chemistry department is
now in receipt of samples of syrup from
a manufactury. at Sioux City, la. Pro
fessor Nicholson is requested to inspect
the samples for the company.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday af
ternoon at University hall was well
attended and exceptionally interesting
and enthusiastic. Special music was a
part of the program.
New hustlers who win places on the
reportorial staff of the Daily Maroon
will receive, as badges of distinction,
five pointed stars enameled in maroon.
These will be in the form of a button
to be worn on the lapel of the coat
by the men, and a pin for young women.
The Chicago 8unday Tribune con
tained "Deacon" Koehler's picture.
The Japanese students of Yale have
organized a debating club.
Beloit College is rejoicing o"Ver the
return of President Eaton, after a
year's absence abroad.
For students entering Swiss univer
sities, Greek used to be obligatory, but
may now be replaced by a modern lan
guage; German and French are abso
lutely necessary, but the student may
choose a minimum of two other lan
guages among Hebrew, Greek, English
and Italian.
The eagerness of the government to
secure men trained in plant pathology
is shown by the fact that P. J. O'Gara,
who lately passed the government ex
amination, was asked to report next
Thursday at a station in one of the
southern states. Mr. O'Gara finds It
impossible to leave his work here at
present, and expects to report Decem
ber 1st to the department at Washington.
