Editorial Remarks
Tho frequency of which we hear of
cases of Institutions around us peti
tioning for a slightly longer spring va
cation la something remarkable. Moit
of them seek an extension from five to
nine days in order that they may keep
Good Friday properly and have a weok
to recovor from their fasting during
Lent. In most cases tho petitions have
been successful and longer time of free
dom" secured. While a little longor va
latlon hero Is desirable, It could hard
ly be expected In view of tho large
number of holidays occurring between
now and June.
o
Tho following expresses tho man
ner in which our neighboring institu
tion. South Dakota, regards the action
of those who have taken it upon them
selves to oppose the at coptance of the
Hockefoller gift to our university:
Tho action on the part of Chancellor
Andrews of Nebraska in advocating
tho acceptance of tho Rockefeller dona
tion has brought forth considerable
discussion. Tho World-Herald of Oma
ha especially has had a great deal to
say In condemnation of the chancellor.
Tho donation was accepted for tho
purpose of aiding in tho construction
of tho building which is to furniBh a
homo- for tho Christian and other or
ganizations of the university a move
ment which could receive no aid from
tho state appropriations. From the
argument presented it Is apparent that
tho enemies of the chancellor are en
deavoring to bring tho University un
der tho control of politics. The Vol-antc
strictly collogo stamp and altogether
of a pleasant character. Tho club also
provides material for tho Senior class
plays and undor Its auspices tho play
on aro trained. Tho club has undor
ptkon heavy duties this year, but we
expect to seo It dlschargo them all In
a manner highly creditablo to all concerned.

Tho class Bcrap of yesterday was cer
tainly an event of an unusual order In
these enlightened days of "law and de
cency14 la collogo life. If thero Is any
thing to bo condemned, however, It Is
tho principle entering In, which In the
case of tho collogo student Is largely
mitigated by thejnotives governing.
Wo can hardly see any great fault in
student pummelling each other If they
do bo by mutual agreement and with
out any intention of maiming or over
sovorely injuring each other. As long
as thoy destroy no property they cer
tainly do" not lay themselves open to
any sovoro penalties. Tholr action can
best bo classed under "rowdyism," If
anyone cares to mako the classification,
but tho restraint exercised modifies tho
charge. Tho affair of yesterday was
characterized by the self-restraint prac
ticed and tho good nature that "pre
vailed. Such an outburst, If it be mere
ly porennlal, can not work any great
Injury, oven If It did confer no benefit.
The class in civil engineering 2G is
calibrating the automatic registering
apparatus of the large Rlehlo testing
machine. This Is done each year and
the results plotted to furnish data for
determining the values of readings.
Tho bridge clasB is ongagod In mak

figures the stresses and members com

In commenting upon tho good work
done by. University organizations it is
by no means just to overlook tho Dra
matic club. Tho plays that tho mem
bers of this class produce, from time to
time aro popular and alwayB well at
tended. They furnish diversion of a

Next Saturday evening the venerable
amateurs will convene to ballot for a
lord high chancellor and tho doors will
be closed promptly at 8 o'clock to avoid
any disturbance or Interruptions dur
ing tho strenuous moments of noml
natorlal orations and tho grafting of
tho political wire pullers. On both
sides are men of ability who will mako
worthy executive, and the nuniber of
the candidates that aro In tho race
promise to mako it one of the fastest
political -fights in tho history of the
club. President Smith will not be In
tne race and from all Indications ho
is strictly neutral In tho coming elec
tion. Lot all who wish to seo tho sclenco
of this political gathering come early
before tho best seats are chosen, and
the doors closed.
