8TUDENT TAX.
Thero hns boon considerable discus
sion lately in regard to a levy of some
sort upon tho students for tho sup
port of athletics. If such a tax should
bo mado it would ho a means of plac
ing athletics in this Unlvorslty on
moro stable grounds. This fee would,
. evon if placed at a very low figure,
make enough to meet any deficit that
might ho incurred by any athletic
team during a school year.
Kansas is al'tho present tlmo figur
ing upon a student tax of three dol
lars for each student in tho Unlvor
slty. K this 1b- carried through Kan
sas will have enough money, with
outsido support, to carry on every Unl
vorslty ontorprlso to an extent that is
bound to bring success. Yalo has
solved this problom of a student tax,
and consequently tho success and sup
port hns been so great that they now
havo a snrpluB of $9G,000. Wo do
not claim. that Nebraska could roach
such a stato of financial success as
this, hut wo do urge that such a tax
would bo tho means of placing us in a
twelve and ono-oighth cents a game..
Think of this, paying twelve and one
eighth cents for a Thanksgiving foot
ball game.
Now, to make this a permanont af
fair and a roality, instead of "hot air"
The students should not wait until
thoso in authority urgo such a fee, but
take it upon themselves to place nth
lotlcs on a sound financial basis. All
this needs is some one to start It, and
tho proposition will bo a go.
Freshmen Caps.
Softly, guiltily, llko the gentle bhow
that fhlloCh. So havo tho Freshman
caps descended upon tho heads of the
fair Freshmen. Whence they camo
and- whither they go no one 1ms been
nble to tell, but the outraged Sopho
more strides to his class with fear
and trembling. As one poetic Soph
expressed it, "Unhappy world that's
born to war and strife; I feign would
leave thee now." But evidently tho
Freshmen boys believe that discretion
is tho best part of valor, or porhaps
they deem that little red caps with
white '09's on them nro not proper in
a Nebraska blizzard. At any ratex no
martyr has yet been found to lead
tho grand hurrah. Tho caps are very
pretty "afuT such that any Soph would
bo proud to have hanging beside his
father's picture, but oven tho most
critical will admit that a green cap
would have been far moro becoming
to a Freshman than for them-to havo
usurped tho college colors and placed
tho rod and white on their unhallowed
heads.
Several '08 caps were soon peace
fully talking to an '09 cap, but that
is the exception. Yesterday at chapel
time one Junior girl, unaided and
alone, attacked four Freshman caps,
and if there had been some one around
to utter the screams for her thoso caps
would now bo drying In hor wigwam.

.position much moro enviable than our
present status.
Let us consider tho advantage of
having such a tax. Suppose we would
mako a student tax of four dollars for
each student, the paying of this tax
would, of- course, give tho student a
season ticket for all University ath
letic contests. Tho Unlvorslty Ath
letic Board give to the public every
year an average of ten football games,
eight basket-ball games, twelve base
ball games, two track meets, a gym
nasium exhibition; in all this makes
thirty-three contests. With thirty
three contests a year aria" a taxf of four
dollars the students would bo paying

The Non-Com Hop, which is to bo
given Saturday night at Fraternity
Hall, is expected to draw a largo
crowd. Extensive preparations have
been made and Walt's orchestra has
boon secured. Tho affair is in charge
of C. D. Slaughter as chairman and
D. C. Wilson as master of ceremonies.
Notwithstanding the'-fact that tho
Non-Coms havp usually given their
.hop during the Lenten season, they
have always succeeded in doing them
selves justice and the committee this
year hopes to -keep up tho former
good record.
