Editorial Remarks
Today the University opens Its doors
In welcome to tho visiting high school
students. The preparations for their
entertainment have been carefully
planned and are of such a character as
to make the occasion a memorable one
to the young students. Besides the
considerations of pleasure and enjoy
ment, thero are other features in con
nection with this event that are of
great Importance. An opportunity will
be given to theso students to visit the
many departments of the University
and to acquire adequate Ideas as to the
magnitude of this Institution. Many
of them will In the future come here
to pursue courses of study, and against
that time such knowledge of the Uni
versity as they may acquire upon thlB
occasion will be of the greatest use
fulness to them. Such being the case,
no more pleasant and profitable mode
of entertainment could be devised for
them than that Included In today'B
program. Some may become so Im
pressed with tho advantages offered
by a University course, that they may
become desirous of entering one, al
though they had not previously con
sidered the matter at all. At all events
it Is our duty to show a true spirit of
hospitality to our guests, and every
student should lend his services to
making their visit a pleasant and
profitable one.

Today's symposium upon the "an
nual question" Is inspired by no hos
tility to the particular individuals con
cerned In their publication, but solely
by the almost Innumerable complaints
which have reached us in regard to the
methods employed in their publication
of the volumes. One of the most-criticized
actions of the present manage
ment of the Somrburo, however, is not
mentioned in the symposium. We re
fer to the plea, made before both class
and regents, that the management was
"golg In the hole" several hundred
dollars, and the obtaining of extra help
and patronage on this basis. Re
sponses to the plea was hardly made
before one of the managers was over
heard remarking to a friend that it
was expected $400 or $500 would be
cleared on the book. Many who had
no objection to the management "mak
ing something" on the book, objected
very Berlously to this obtaining of pa
tronage "under false pretenses." The
thorough airing of this subject, In as
fair a way as our today's symposium
does it, will harm no one who Is guilt
less of guile, and may succeed In point
ing out dn available means of reform.
In that hope It Is given to the Univer
sity public.

Contributors to our columns are
warned that there Is no longer any
"Nebraska? box" In the hallway of the
' "Nebraska1
mnln building. Since the office Is open
nil hours of the day or night, a mere
push on the door being all that Is nec
essary to gain admission, we have dis
pensed with any box for news Items.
Stick them on the copy hook on the
desk, and they will reach the editor.
This notice Is called forth by the fact
that Professor Barber has rescued sev
eral Items for us from the depths of
hlB composition box near the door of
U. 204.
Convocation Dotes
Yesterday's Exercises:
The convocation period yesterday
morning was taken up In considering
the proposed Rockefeller gift. Mr. Tel
lcsen, president of the senior class,
first spoke, and then Introduced Miss
Van Zandt, president of the Juniors,
who spoke in favor of the students of
each class contributing toward the
fund. Mr. Beers, president of the
sophomore class, said that his class
was anxious to do its Bhare, and Mr.
Waldron, president of the freBhmen,
thought that at least $400 could be
raised by his class.
After the four class presidents had
used the time to which they were lim
ited. Chancellor Andrews spoke. He
said that there was some opposition
to the acceptance of this gift from Mr.
Rockefeller because of his connection
with the trusts, but as far as he knew,
neither the Standard Oil trust or any
other trust had made this offer. Mr.
Rockefeller's money was not to any
great extent drawn from the Standard
Oil trust, but more from great bank
ing institutions and other financial en
terprises. He Is a man who rose from
the ranks of the common people, and
If any guilt attached to the methods
by which he made his fortune, as much
attached to the newspapers of the
country which have poured undeserved
showers of vituperation upon Mr.
Rockefeller's head.
The building Is needed. The present
quarters of the Christian associations
Is shameful. The present accommoda
tions are not adequate to meet the so
cial needs of these organizations. Be
sides these, the needs of the literary
societies, of the Phi Beta Kappa, and
other University organizations, cannot
be overlooked.
Some say that this state is able to
build all necessary buildings. But is it
Just to impose upon the generosity of
the people of the state thus far? The
University, because of this generosity,
together with the business methods of
the University officers, has outgrown
tho resources of the state. It is impos
sible for the state to build as fast as
the growth of the University demands.
Besides, it is a question whether the
state could be legally taxed for a build
ing to be used for such purposes.
Many new buildings are needed. One
is needed at tho farm. A physics build
ing is needed and likewise a new ad
ministration building. Besides, these,
we need a new astronomical observa
tory, a, dormitory for the women of
first year classes, and, finally, a grand
new building worth two or three hun
dred thousand dollars should supplant
the old University hall. These afall
pressing almost crying needs.
One of the most hopeful results of
this gift may be that people of wealth
outsldo will be stimulated to help the
cause. Our full possibi Titles cannot be
reached unless we get UiIb help, and
the chancellor urged that we be as lib
eral as we are able In making our con
tributions. University Bulletin

Is Reform Needed in Class Books?
(Continued from page 1.)
of a large Biim of money, rather than
the publication of an annual of which
tho University might be proud. Cer
tain It Is that the sort of annuals Is
sued, combined with the conduct of the
management, and seasoned by what
purports to be information from the
Inside, has afforded reasonable ground
for tho prevailing sentiment The
question Is, What Is the remedy?
Heretofore It has been the custom to
elect an editor-ln-chlef, whose remu
neration consisted of tho honor, and a
business manager, whose recompense
has often been twice that of a regular
University Instructor. The political
wire-pulling for Sombrero business
manager has. in the Inatance of the
last two annuals, been notoriously
open, even as early as the freshman
year. The trades and counter-trades,
known only to tho few who culde the
class destiny, constitute a bewildering
maze even to tho active promoter.
There Is not a class but contains men
fully capable of editing tho Sombrero,
and who would gladly accept such posi
tions solely for the honor attached.
Heretofore the editor could not carry
out his plans because of the business
manager's desire to curtail expenses,
and the editor had no means of ascer
taining whether the finances would or
would not bear the desired expense.
This year the editor and business man
ager shared profits, but' such a plan
must be condemned upon the face of It.
The business, manager should be hired,
as Is the advertising solicitor of the

This Season's Lace Gloves and Lace Mitts
Some are in the daintiest spider-web mesh without
much distinctness of pattern excepting long lines that make
the hands look slim.
Some of plain silk have three narrow stripes of half
open-work In a simple, hand-made effect.
One style looks like a piece of rare mechlin lace.
Since there is likely to be a dearth of them later, on account of their
great popularity,
Graduates and Summer Girls
will do well to see them soon. The white and black are equally attractive.
Plain silk gloves, short or el
bow length, pearl clasps, GOc to
$1.50.
Plain lisle gloves, short, 25c to
75c.
Silk lace gloves, elbow length,
