There are a certain number of boys
In the University who make a custom
of "stagglng" It to almost every Uni
versity dance. There are only two pos
sible reasons why this 1b done, and
only one excuse. When a "stag" Is
seen at a dance It either means that
he could not get a girl or that he did
not want to stand for the extra ex
pense that might ensue from taking a
girl. It 1b to be regretted that too
often it is because of the latter reason
that bo many go to dances alone. Any
body who has made an honest effort to
get a girl la excusable, and only then.
The excuse Is sometimes offered that
unless there are a large number of
"stags" many of the girls will have to
sit out dances. This is true to a cer
tain extent, but It is usually the "Btags"
who make the greatest efforts to get
dances with the popular girls, and so
the other girlH Bit out dances anyway.
The custom is growing In the Univer
sity and should be discouraged. At
the last dance the number was greater
than ever before, and it was very no
ticeable that they were, for the most
part, fellows who have done the same
thing more than once.
OO
That University society people are
sometimes deficient in manners was
very noticeable in the way in which
the programs were secured Friday
night at the company B hop. The mat
ter has been touched upon before In
these columns, but will bear mention
ing again. Tho trouble was probably
due to thoughtlessness more than any
thing else, but might have onded seri
ously. ' Several people who thought
they had special privileges started the
thing, and everybody else helped it
along. Not satisfied with raising a
rough house, several were greedy
enough to stuff several programs in
their pockets, although they had no
need for them whatever. If they had
been content to get their programs in
the ordinary way there would have
been no confusion or trouble, and
there would have been plenty to go
around. Some stringent means Bhould
be taken to prevent a reptltlon In the
future, while dance managers should
make better preparations for distribu
tion of programs.

I seo by the papers that some of the
"big professors" do not think much of
the Rhodes scholarships because Ox
ford Is a little slow and has not kept
up with the times. On this account
they say there Ib trouble In finding
fellowB who are willlhg to accept the
offer of $1,500 a year for three years.
For fear that Mr. Rhodes will not rest
easy In H (some orthodox people
say that they don't know which place
he Is In), and although a little of the
dust of the ages has gathered upon
the profs of dear old Oxford and a lit
tle moss upon her ancient walls, I am
willing to go, and by the practice of
strict economy will try and get along
on only $1,500 a year. If necessary, I
will cook my own porridge and not eat
English beefsteak more than four times
a day. Say, Mr. Editor, as It Is gettlng
near the end of the University year,
and my pile Is a little low, I wish you
would Just tell the committee If they
will Bend a certified check or a New
York draft for $4,500, I will pack up
my "bag," turn up my pantaloons, and
be ready to start at o'nee. If It will
make no difference, ask the committee
If I could Btay here till commencement,
for one of the senior girls has smiled
twice on me lately and I would like to
stay till June, and maybe she would
go with me, then I know that we could
live on $1,500 per year, for some people
say that two can live cheaper than
one. If not asking too much, the com
mittee can send the draft to
DENNIS,
Care of The Nebraskan.
P. S. I've just been looking In the
family bible, and I find that I am over
23 years of age, but I am under 50, and
expect to live twenty-three years yet.
Don't you think a person can learn
after he is 23? I am sure 1 can pass
the exams at Oxford, especially if the
fossil profs will only be kind enough
to tell me the question the day before
the exams. D.
This lather surprising Item appears
in the last number of the Oberlin Re
view: "Tho Dally Iowan now appears
In somewhat different form, and differ
ent typographically. It Is the com
posite result of the union of the Hes
perian, tho Nebraskan and the Scarlet
and Cream." As usual, "go away from
home to learn the news." The ex
change editor's pen evidently made a
slip.
