The Editor's Our readers will notice one fact to day: When peoplo come to put down tholr grievances In black and white, they are surprised to find they haven't halt as many as they thought for. Two or three parties who were earliest to accept our Invitation to "contribute a few knocks," after several endeavors decided thoy "hadn't anything worth while to say, after all." Moral: If you feel "sore" at anyone or anything, try shaping your complaint In written wordB, and see how quickly It vanishes Into Insignificance. OO The regents should be more consid erate of their University paper. They Bhouid not meet at the end of the week, when The Nebraska" Is a minus quantity for three days, and the dailies are able to score an entire Bcoop on tho proceedings of the session. Such a serious error in policy ought to be remedied before tho Ichh Important affairs of University life are attend ed to. OO Mr. Dixby, of the Journal's 'Daily Drift," conducts a perennial and praise worthy compaign against the exceeding disagreeable habit of street corner ex pectoration. Liko his friends of tho equal 'suffrage cause, he is a long time in reaching tho goal. A number of Uni men might help him, but they seem disinclined to do ho. Bnd habits are like the Lord's poor always with us; but some of them are, if not worse, at least more offensive to the public taste than others; and of these most offensive, tho practice of stand ing on the corner and flooding the surrounding sidewalk with aromatic saliva Is tho worst of all. It is a mat ter of regret that a good many Unl men we are almost glad the old word "gentleman" is no longer in vogue are addicted to this bad habit. It is probably too much to hope they Will abandon It; but If they would only consent to notify pedestrians what corners they wish to appropriate for their particular form of amusement, many a sidewalk traveler could be spared frequent nauseating moments. s3$$s3$sess y -PROGRAMS and student stationery iSjA specialty with us.

On Convocation It Is to be regretted that not enough caution Ib used In selecting men for chapel exercises. 8lmply that a man Is someone's friend is no reason why ho Bhouid appear In chapel. He must have some message for students. Stu dents aro critical and have little sym pathy with a speaker who is not a student or a Bcholar. Men who are out of sympathy with student life, weaklings, and worn out prechers, should never be allowed to address students. Narrow and childish men, and especially weak preachers, afflicted with a mental colic rather than a mes sage of help, disgust and waste the time of students, often detracting from the sacred cause which they represent. Sweeping statements about common place men, and extravagant phrases may flatter the speaker, but they will In tho end decrease the number of In telligent chapel-goers. P. O. In re Library On this "day for tho kickers," It may not be amiss for an old grad to add his quota to tho accumulation of foot power, bo popular In the democratic spirit of our University. "Wo know that the librarian has had much to contend with this winter In the matter of vast crowds of students. Room Is lacking, some students develop decided hoggish proclivities, and otherB chatter from chapel till 10 at night. All these things no doubt try our chief librarian's Bup ply of patience greatly. In this wo sympathize with him sincerely. But there is another side of the question. For example: One day during the cold weather it suited our convenience to enter the library in search of a friend, from whom to obtain certain Informa tion. Unluckily the friend was seated In front of the "wire cage;" but this we did not think about, as wo wore fortunate enough lir undergrad days to always have been seated out of range of those eagle optics behind the fine plate glass. We sat down, back towards aforesaid glittering case, and proceeded to extract the desired Infor mation. Being in a hurry, we noted that just two minutes had elapsed, when we suddenly heard a gruff voice In no very polished and suave way, say, "If you don't ten1 to your own business you may have an invitation to go outside and tend to it." We felt too dazed to say anything more than "Thank you," and nfter a short con templative silence, finished the conver sation and departed. Now it does seem that this is a queer example for one In authority to set before the youthful character. Are we of the University who have occasion to be often In the library, to study In our librarian's school of manners? We wonder at the results, should our Imi tative faculties become as highly de- eloped as those of our ancestors! If the librarian must, as he often lias the occasion to, put a stop to abuses of library privileges, lei him do It after the semblance of courtesy, rather than with the manner of a road boss. A. If one would know what a "knock er" Is they Bluxuld step Into the library some afternoon. The breath of air that meets them at the door Is usually a "knocker." It, is equivalent to hav ing a sign on the door reading, "Only those with the most urgent business enter here." Many a good intention has been Bpolled by the utmosphere that Is met at the door. We are all taught In the course In hygiene that the windows Bhouid be opened on the side away from tho wind, but the library teaches a different ByBtem and many bad colds are the result. A.K. Another Glee Club Success. The Glee club Bang to an apprecia tive audience at Wahoo Thursday night, and It feelB generally pleased with the short trip to that city. The concert management was placed in tho hands of the senior class of the high school, backed up by J. M. Sear son, a loyal graduate of the University. Both the class and Mr. Searaon are given much credit for tho delightful way in which the whole affair was car ried on. Tho club on arriving at Wahoo was hurried to the high school, where It .jJmJmJmmmJjjmJmJmJmJmJmJmmJ f STETSON HATS AGAIN 1 t y I I X We are fortunate to again receive another lot of the X popular full shape Stetson Hat, the " Sportsman," Sat- r urday we place on sale these hats in all sizes in ,black J i and pearl.

MAGEE & M'''frI'M"M"M gave a short Impromptu program, and was then assigned out for entertain ment to the homes of school board, members and other patriotic citizens who wished to do all they could for the singers. The result was that all of the boys have since been trying to each convince the other that he was entertained the best. The senior class also was responsible for this to a large extent. Before tho concert every member of the club was presented with scarlet and cream carnations by the senior girls. Every number on the program was encored, the club refusing to sing a second time once. By request of friends In Wahoo, Mr. Starr sang two extra numbers In the second part of the program. He was handicapped se riously, however, by a severe cold. One of the club, Newell Elliott, was absent on account of sickness. Who ever heard of a good looking girl flunking? Not I. Why, the ques tion of a I'. 13. K. in these days is as much a question of beauty and sex as of scholarship. The profs can be selfish, and give most of the honors to the girls; but, thank heaven! they can't keep us from taking the girls and scoring after a... , A.
