Editorial Remarks
From now on to the end of the year
wo will be obllfeed to print a iour
pago issue on Saturday instead of an
elght-pago issue as heretofore.
We did not decide upon this change
until we found that It was necessary,
Q8 our financial condition would not
warrant the continuance of the eight
page Issue. The. matter of expense is
ono of the largest considerations in
getting out a college paper, and It is
necessary to exercise- extreme care to
keep it below tho limit. The Nebras
kan represents a much more ambitious
effort than tho greater part of college
dally publications, and wo believe that
in news service and other features that
count we have been second to none of
them. A larger amount of type has to
bo sot than for most college dailies.
Then taking into consideration the
fact that tho field is not any larger
than tho average, It is evident that oar
ousiness manager muBt put forth stren
uous efforts in order that a proper
balance may bo maintained. Tho ex
pense of running tho Nebroskan this
year will exceed $3,000, and this is the
limit that wo are laboring to keep
within. Although tho question of ex
pense has been a troublesome one, we
havo alwayB succeeded In mooting it
in a satisfactory way, but it Is now
a matter of expediency with us that
we make this present change. We
havo never missed an issue and do not
Intend to, whatever necessities may
arlBO. Wo make no complaints re
garding tho support furnished ub, as we
know that there are limitations in
this field. Our newB service will bo
unimpaired by tho change, although
we, are obliged to sacrifice our literary
features in main, and we will strive
to keep our paper up to as high a
standard as it has heretofore main
tained. O
Tho following from an exchange
bears on the Rhodes Scholarship ques
tion, and brings with It enlightenment
on some points not well understood:
"The trustees of the Rhodes Schol
arship fund as now simply feeling their
way," says Dr. George R. Parkin, who
has qome to the United States to con
duct examinations of candidates for the
honor. "The method of selecting tho
first scholars may not bo good for all
time. During tho last year we have
been receiving suggestions on the
matter of examinations from all the
leading educators in tho English
speaking world, ana now we are try
ing to work out the substance of those
suggestions.
"We first wish to make sure that
the men who get tho scholarships are
qualified to enter Oxford according to
the Oxford standard. have brought
. with me examination papers In sub
jects which a fellow must pass before

ho Is ollglble to enter Oxford, and the
m.on hero who pass them are qualified
as competitor 'for one of tho scholar
ships. This "examination is only the
f preliminary stopand because a man
passes ho does not necessarily go to
Oxford. Tho papers aro about on a
par with those used In tho entrance
test at Hiarvard, except that knowl
edge of Greek 1b required.
"America is a world power, and she
must havo men with world knowledge
to represent her abroad. Oxford Is the
place whero those men will get train-
lng which will fit them to stand. with
tho BtatcBmen of other great coun
tries." O
It is evident that a largo number of
girls will vote at tho coming Athletic
Board election. If they were to come
out and vote voluntarily, without spe
cial solicitation from anyone, having
In view the good of athletics or oven
a concern in their welfare, then no
objection could bo- raised. But it is
certain that large amounts of money
will be spent by men interested in
the elections In connection with the
voting done by tho girls, ;and such a
practlco Is undesirable in any Univer
sity. No ono can defend such a prin
ciple, and Its tolerance is not due to
conscientious measures of justification,
but to an open countenancing of a
practlco that Is generally condemned.
Although It appears too late for any
thing to bo done by tho Athletic
Board until after the election, the
matter should not bo overlooked, but
the right of voting In Athletic Board
elections should bo withdrawn from
tho girls before the present year closes.
There Is plenty of time and the ques
tion la a live one. If It Is allowed to
go over until nox.t year, it will come
up again In a troublesome manner,
and demand solution. It Is prohablo
that next year the board will not be
able to investigate the matter until
late in tho year, and that tho notice
then will be as short ub It has been
this year.
Either the practice must bo toler
ated or tho measures producing a rem
edy bo delayed. Of what advantage,
then, would further delay bo? Would
It not be better to grasp the situation
at once and work tho desired change?
If the committee that has undertaken
to investigate can hit upon Bomo- sys
tem that would work moro satisfac
torily than tho chango we suggest, we
aro suro that tho University public
generally would bo glad In conse
quence. Tho present system demands a re
form, and we believe that the present
is the time for making it, and we are
sure that the elimination of the girl
vote would work a very desirable
