SOMBRERO IS OUT
'06 ANNUAL APPEARS PROMPTLY
ON TIME.
Some Features the Best Yet Other
Portions of the Book Only Medi
ocre On 8ale at 11 a. m.
The long expected and much vaunted
Sombrero has at last been presented to
the public. On the wholo It Is" one
of the most representative University
annuals over put out here. The edi
tors and managers on account of the
long "graft" agitation were put severe
ly to the test and one feels in view of
-the excellence of the book, that If
there Is any bonus they deserve It. The
editors" aimed to make tho book one
which would stand for the best of
every phase of college life, and In a
groat measure they succeeded, for be
side tho printed representation, tlo
get-up" of tho book Itself shows consid
erable ability and a great deal of pains
taking work.
The cover Is tho best which has
ver been put upon a Nebraska publi
cation, In neatness, quality, and dura
bility. Its novelty and simplicity are
a decided rellof from tho cloth bound
books of tho past with tho inevitable
and usually Inartistic designs. Tho
first fifty pages aro filled with general
information about the University,
tho section of tho book which Is con
scientiously skipped tho first day and
not fully appreciated until a few days'
or weeks after tho first reading. It
Is good and Qlled with "tho things wq
all want to know" but necessarily
.stereotyped. It contains a list of
tho members of the Instructing body
with a short history of tho professional
life of many of the most prominent
members of tho faculty. Then follows
a short description of tho University
proper and all or its branches. Hero
tho State Farm receives undue promi
nence, as It usually does.
Tho class representation Is about
as usual. The Law section is headed
with an excellent article by Dr. Pound.
The arrangement of .tho Individual pic
tures and the character of tho write
ups, both here and In tho Junior class
proper aro a decided disappointment,
Tho write-ups are trlto and don't "offer
much in either Information or humor
and tho pictures are Just as thoy al
ways have been both In style and ar
rangement. One lonely Wesleyah
Junior will bo rather surprised to find
that he is a student at "tho State." Ti.
general class representation lsvery
good. The department of athletics
is oxcellont. The pictures and write
ups aro good and the kodak -features
are especially attractive. Tho literary
department as such is almost absent.
It Is not dignified with a title page and
consists of only one story and a few
verses. The excellent articles on
various subjects of University Interest
which are scattered through the book
almost make up for- this deficiency
however. Thoy aro all snappy and
to tho point.
It is on the wholo a very good thing
(hat a little admonition about "getting
sore" was" put on the second page of
the josh department. Many of the
jpkes are extremely Cleveland almost'
all are apt, but the cudgels are

wielded even more vigorously than In
the" Senior Book. Tho faculty roasts
in tho latter are certainly avenged by
tho wholesale slaughter of tho Seniors
upon tho pages of tho Sombrero. Some
of tho joshes aro unnecessarily bitter
and there is quite a little "padding"
but on tho other hand many long felt
wants aro filled. Tho cartoons aro very
few In numher and aro perhaps tho
weakest feature.
Altogether, tho book Is unusually
good. Tho best things about It aro
its splendid "get up," the title pages
and full page drawings by HarrlBon
and Hadloy and tho snap shots taken
on tho campus.
Latin Club.
Tho last meeting of the Latin Club
for this semester was held Tuesday
evening In the parlors of tho Woman's
University building. After some pre
liminary business, an interesting pro
gram was given. Miss' Alleno Mc
Eachron read a moBt creditable paper
on. the "Roman Games." A short dis
cussion and comment bj Professor
Barber followed.
Tho next number was a paper by
Mr. Arthur Marsh on "Current
Events." Mr. Marsh was unable to
bo present and his paper was read by
Mr. Frank Peterson.
Tho most important number on the
program was the' report by Professor
Barber of tho recent classical confer
ence In Chicago, May 6 and 7. Pro
fessor Barber was one of flfo leading
movorB at tho conference. A national
organization was offected to which be
long many teachers of Greek and
Latin from about twenty-two states.
Professor Barber's report was very
Interesting and much enjoyed by all.

and all made an excellent showing In
their respective events. Manning won
tho 440 and gavo BurresB tho raco of
his life for first place in tho 220. Those
mon, backed by Wallaco, should give
any other trio of University sprinters
In the Wost a good raco for first
honors. States ran his usual raco in
the mile, and carried off first placo
with comparative ease. Havens was
the best In tho two-mllo, although tho

No Band Informal.
There will bo no band Informal Sat.
urday evening. No good music could
bo procured Tor that night and tho
management would bo content with
tho best only. Tho largo number at
tending tho informal last Friday, and
tho numerous requests for another
caused those in charge to make ar
rangements for one Saturday, but ar
rangements had to bo stopped for the
reason given.
There will be no more band in
formals this year.
