Editorial Remarks This evoniiiK our basket ball team team will piny Its flrBt Kame, and It is Indeed desirable that It should start tne seaflon with a victory. The Wesleyan aggregation Is a strong one, and has already given an Indication of Its strength within our own territory. The game tomorrow night will he vig orously played; hence a fitting attrac tion will be presented with which to open the season. It will be certainly an exciting athletic event nnd merits a large attendance. The matter ot regular attendance at the convocation exercises can not he emphasized too strongly It is safe to say In the outset that there is no equal period that the student will find more beneficial In the long run than the half hour spent at these exercises. Perhaps many are not aware that there is a regular committee in charge of the chapel exercises and some ol their best efforts are given to providing at tractions daily which shall be enter taining as well aa highly Instructive. Those who have been attending chapel will agree that the committee has been entirely successful in Its efforts. The speakers who appear are masters of their subjects, and treat such subjects as nil ought to be informed upon. The glj'e you an Insight In the course of a few minutes into what would oidinarily take extensive investigation for you to dig out for yourself Any one who has not been attending convocation should cultivate a habit of going at once, not so mm h for the good of the cause as for his own good The musi cal attractions are of an especially high order and merit a large attend ance. At the Sophomore class meeting yes terday morning a number of state ments were made which were either in tended to give false Impressions or else grew out of a misunderstanding. While we do not undertake to condemn any one, we feel that it is our duty to cor rect" a number of Impressions attempt ed to be conveyed concerning The Ne braskan. It was stated that The Ne braskan had not in the first place been authorized to advertise the price of the Sophomore Hop as being a dollar, and that we, although being requested, had failed tfi announce that the price had been raised to $1.50. In this connection It was said that It had been intended all along to charge $1,50, but that we, acting without. authority, had set tno price at $1.00. Although this explana tion was officially accepted, It did not give entire satisfaction to the class. Ndw In the first place, there was nothing to warrant the price being raised to $1.50 a point which we do not believe was explained. If $1.00 had been (barged all expenses would have been covered, and a reasonable profit left for the officials In charge of affairs. Hut overlooking this all-Important fact, let us consider the state ments that were made. The card ad vertising the hop that first appeared In our columns was written by one of our staff at the dictation Of one of the two leading officials of the Sophomore I Hop committee, and $1.00 was the price stated. The card appeared Just as dic tated, with no variations whatever. Hut after it had run In one issue, we were requested to leave it out for a while, being informed that the price "might" be raised. This we did and upon special request Inserted the card later without announcing any price, presuming that nothing was wrong. The evening before the Hop occurred we were requested to announce that th? price had been rnised to $1.50 tnis being the first Intlmntlon thnt we had had thnt such definite action had been decided upon. Hence, we did not will fully or even actunlly conceal until the Inst moment the fnct thnt the price had been raised, as alleged. This is our explanation, nnd we think It will stand. We have no desire to condemn anyone, ns afore stated, but we want to clear away all impressions that we were mixed up In the dis graceful victimizing of the Sophomore class Whatever directions were given In regard to advertising the affair we carried out to the letter, and can cer tainly be excused from the absurd at tempts to lay any responsibility what ever upon us Y. W. C. A. Xmas Service. The Inst Y W. C. A meeting of the j ear wns a Christmas service. Spiigs of holly were provided for all who at tended Miss Allene McKachron fav ored the audience with a vocal solo. Miss Myra Withers then addressed the meeting and In her charming manner brought -homo to every girl the real meaning of Christmas time, which she said," wns a giving time, the whole glnd enrth around." Miss Van Zandt took charge of the 'recognition service," in which over twenty girls were formally received into the assoc iation. Hour of Liederkranz Changed. Professor Kossler announces that the University Liederkranz. which has heretofore met Mondays during the convocation period for rehearsal, will niter the Christ inns vacation meet Wednesdays at 1:15 p in. This ( liange it is hoped will enable more to take advantage of the German song service, which Is so ably conducted by Mrs. Itaj mond Thevhorus is already large but there is still room for more, nnd the management is desirous that as many as can will come out to them1 re hearsals. The songs practiced nnd sung nre GermniTTTntlonal hymns, to know which is a privilege that all who have any knowledge of German should avail themselves of. The chorus, as stated above, will meet Wednesdays at 1:15, beginning after the holidays. This will not conflict with class meet ings and other affairs which formerly conflicted with the Liederkranz's time for practice. Chancellor Andrews contributes an article to the last "Independent," on "Eastern and Western College Stu dents." Dr. Andrew's estimate of the two lives is clear and appreciative and should prove interesting reading for college men throughout the country. His regard for western men Is especial ly gratifying to Nebraskans. A new castlron pedestal has been re ceived In the machine shop for an emery wheel stand. Tills will be equipped with polishing emery wheels for the use of the class In mechanical engineering 4. W x. , , or m IMCCI M.UUUIU lMJM--r. i.O JJUl LUUl yju. this week. F. A.
