Editorial Remarks Unlets ordored discontinued The Daily Nebraskan will be sent the com ing semester to all present subscribers. we expami. If we expand in any. The town won't run off from the Univer sity, and of this we can rent assured. Yet wc hope that very few years will pass before we Be? athletics In posses sion of a field In which it will not be disturbed. The trnck team schedulo In now in course of preparation. Owing to a num ber of circumstances that have caused uncertainty It Is difficult to pass Judg ment upon the prospects now before us. A number of promising men have been embarrassed by outside interests, so that at present It seems doubtful If they can possibly come out. How ever wo hope that no man will be pre vented from coming out hyomc tech nicality, and whatever difficulties that may exist we would like to see settled satisfactorily. The debating squad Is now settling down to Its long grind. For long, weary weeks now they will be buried amid heaps of books of Information In studied search for facts with which to snow under their opponents. When they emerge they may be expected to come forth well equipped for the con tost. Their course of training is just as assiduous ts that or tho athletes, and the same effects are produced upon them mentally as upon the athlete physically. They are now facing the Interesting part, but in time they will moke the results of their work more apparent. We are glad to see the dufllcultios arising from the location of the ath letic field so reasonably adjudicated. A number of chunges are of course neces sary, and while theso do not leave the field in such a shape as to be desired, they represent the best that could have been done. No ono has any protest to make, for all realize the Importance of tho interests involved, and tho many factors entering into consideration. The gridiron, the ball diamond and the track must all be modified considera bly. The difficulty that arose concern ing tho gridiron was adjusted by the extra fivo feet of space that fortunately turned up. In fact this "was tho key to the whole situation. This arrangement will be all right for tho present, but conditions will arise hi the course of a few years that will present new problems. These problems will Involve tho permanent location of our athletic field, as It Is plain that outdoor athletics can not al ways be carried on under the con strained conditions at present existing and of course another building on the athletic field would put athletics out of tho question. No dcubt efforts will ho made and strong ones at that, to provide a good, convenient site for an athletic field that will ensure Its per manent location and socurlty from such intrusion, as has now taken place. It makes little different In what direction FINISH THE ELECTION. Freshmen Fill Rest of Vacancies. Attend to Other Business The Freshmen met this morning, with the prosldent-elect, Mr. Craig, swinging the gavel. He made a few announcements in regnrd to basket ball, baseball and Other athletic mat ters and then Informed tho class that the purpose of the gathering was to relievo tho strain upon tho officers whose terms had expired by electing a new set of dignitaries. A danger flag was hoisted by one of tho members, warning them against constitutional degression in that there were but fifty-five present, or in other words, lesb than an electing quorum, but the pro test was waived by the interpre tation from the highest court of ap peals, that tho constitution could be laid aside and the election could go on without any mutation. When the nominations for vice pres ident were In order Mr. Steiner, cap tain of tho boys' basket ball team was the only candidate seeking the of fice, and he was elected by acclama tion. In like manner Wllla Adams, cap tain of the girls' basket ball team, was ejected upon motion of Mr. Standeven to assume the dignity of secretary and treasurer. When tho office of attorney general enme up several mighty tribunes arose In connection with it and the heavy air that had shrouded the early part of the meeting was penetrated by the enthusiastic nomination spqeeches. For to sit in the highest tribunal of the ( lass is deemed an honor unparalleled In Freshman politics, hence the name of J Scott and A. Wolf were hurled from the lips of the nomlnatorlal ora tors. The contest between the sages, who should decide the mooted points forever, and whose decision would be come a perpetual law, was very close, when the result was announced that the vote stood Scott 28. and Wolf 24. Scott was declared duly elocted. to sit upon the supreme bench to sway the legal scepter. . In direct contrast with the flood of timber for the senatorshlp a suitable candidate for the office of sargeant at arms could not be found. Several men were mentioned for tho place, but on account of timidity would not have their names mentioned In connection with the office ad declinations were ex pressed faster than ominatlos were made. Howeer. we believe some one was elected to assume the grac.re-i sponsiuility. The meeting was a successful one, and the members went away express ing themselves as highly pleased with such a commendable list of new offi cers, who are as follows: President. Mr. Craig; vice president. Mr. Steiner; attorney. Joseph Scott, former presi dent, and secretary an dtreasurer, Miss Willa Adams. Co. INTEGRITY ASSURED. D Will Not Be Partitioned as Anticipated. In an address to tho members of Company B last Friday evening at the Sigma Chi house. Captain Chase said that Company D will remain Intact. For tho past two weeks all Indica tions have pointed to the dissolution of Company D on account of the un usual scarcity of men in tho battalion. Captain Chase says that he has found that there are at prespnt seventy-five or eighty men who shoujd be drilling and are not doing so, and that they will bo brought forth and Company D will be preserved .
