University News Service.
Yolo Nowb: We believe that every
college newspaper should be the au
thority for all tho news of that college
which Is given to the -outsldo press.
If the News can be put In such a posi
tion as to be able to give out all Yale
news, with the assurance that what Ib
given out In that way Is offlclal, the
paper Itself will not only be strength
ened, but there will be much Icbs dan
ger of college affairs being misinter
preted, as they so often have been in
the past. It Is with this Idea In view
that wo ask tho co-operation of all
men who are closely in touch with all
branches of University affairs.
The Nebroskan would recommend to
Its Yale contemporary the method
now In use by Nebraska University.
All offlclal Items reach the press
through a series of "newB letters," Is
sued In dally and weekly editions from
tho executlvo offlco. Through the work
of this branch of the office the Univer
sity field is now thoroughly covered
from day to day, and tho resulting In
formation boiled down to appropriate
proportions for newspaper use. It la
a very satisfactory method when under
efficient management (as at present is
happily the case), and serves much
better than an attempt to furnish out
side papers with University informa
tion through the cer-changlng and
more or less non-continuous news
channel of the college publication.
On one other point, however, the
NebraBkan Is less satisfied. It feels
that the University dally Bhould be In
enough closer touch with University
affairs to enable It to "scoop" tho city
dallies on a great many Important
Items of news. This Is not the present
condition, however, owing partly to
the dally having not as yet gained
an "Inside track." and partly to the
fact that the reporters for the city
papers are themselves old Unl men,
and therefore well acquainted with the
1ns and outs of University newsdom.
In spite of these evident handicaps,
and tho appearance of the Dally some
three or four hours after tho city pa
pers are usually read, we have already
managed to got ahead of the latter on
two or three good Items within the past
three weeks, and hope with the ln-
creaso In number and efficiency of the
staff to do so much oftenor during the
remainder of the year.

1. S. C. Student: Some of our states
seem determined to curb the atten
dance at state Institutions by Increas
ing tho tuition fees under the plea
that expenses have grown so much as
to make this course necessary. En
gineering students at Minnesota were
badly handicapped a short time ago
by a large Increase In tuition and
now tho ways and means committee
in the Kansas legislature reports a
bill that requires a yearly payment
from all students of the agricultural
college and the normal Bchool In both
of which tuition Is now free. Ex
penses have doubtless grown but legls-
(Mlnnesota Dally.)
Tho belligerent attitude towards the
university, which characterizes a ma
jority of tho Minnesota legislature,
shows Itself every day, and It Is feared
by many that this attitude will show
Itself In no uncertain manner "when
the university appropriation bill Is
taken up for consideration. The rea
son for this apparent hostility to uni
versity Interests Is hard to determine.
But it has been found that the greatest
opposition comes from tho country
members, who seem to have the Idea
that the university Is only a money
bpendlng Institution and that the bene
fits derived are not at all equal to the
amount expended In its maintenance.
It seems to be duo principally to a lack
of appreciation and knowledge of the
work that Is being done by the univer
sity and aa soon as the people can be
educated td understand these things
the sooner will these hostilities cease.

Yesterday's Exercises:
Convocation attendants enjoyed an
unusual treat yesterday morning, and
those present were most enjoyably en
tertained. Mr. N. K. rGlggs of this
city gave a select reading of several
of his own poems. Mr. Griggs is pos
sessed of a delivery remarkably en
tertaining and admirably suited to the
rendering of his unique productions.
i he first reading was descriptive of the
groat blizzard that swept over the
country In 1888 In which so many peo
ple lost their lives. An encoro was
responded to by a recital of tho Btory
of "Silent Jo and the Bronchos." Both
poems are typical of western life and
were much enjoyed.
