A. election last night wns nn oxamplo of what can be done when tho men go to a meeting where any olectlon is to bo held without pre viously having pledged to vote for any man or men. Tho men selected last night wore the choice simply because they are tho best men for. tho differ ent places without regard to any af filiations they might have. The olec-, tlon of Mr. Jorgensen meets with the npprobatlo nof every student In tho University. "Jorgy," although ho has boen In school but a little over a se moster, Is one of tho most popular men In school, and Is very deserving of tho honor that the men have seen fit to thrust upon him. Not desiring to prolong the "cuspi dor" question, which seems to havo stirred up morn or less comment among the students of the University, we think It only just to all concerned to say a word or two In reply to the article publlshod In yesterday's ' Ne braskan by Mr. O'Gara, who has taken It upon himself to defend tho law stu dents. We aro glad to confess that In our report of tho purchase of the cuspidors wo were In error when wo stated that same articles of furniture had been placed on the third floor of Uni versity Hull. Upon further investiga tion wo find that tney wore to bo placed in tho law library and lecture room, Instead of in the halls This fact will tend to clear the academic students who frpquont the third floor of "any connection with the unfortun ate custom. Had thej been placed In tho halls, as reported In our paper, Mr. O'Gara -would have been porfectly correct In .his statement that the-aca- - demic students must contribute their share, but since this is not the case and tho.spittoons huvo been purchased exclusively for tho law department, it is natural to infer that that place was ' 'where they- wore needed. The statement made by our corre spondent that he has not been able to find a slnglo cuspidor does not alter the. cafeo -in theleast; Our . treporti stated that "two dozen spittQops.vhnd jb'een purchased forJthe law' school;" fand to: this statement wawUI not 'allow 1H; UAVIiJHUUD. VUUUIUl tUU UUU1UM' ttf es-haveUia'd" !uraov needed or not has mo 'bearing on ithe questlonat hand. That they (have Ibean purchased, and. for tho lawschopl is beyond discussion, as It is a fact. WheiuMr. O'Gara states that a mem ber of The Nebrnskan staff called the law students "rough necks," he Is again in error. That statement was T made by .a ,party who Just ,happend to bo in The NebraBkan office at the time, and who Is not a member of our staff. In trying to divert attention from tile real question at hand, our worthy correspondent to tho south walk of tho campus and asks us to seo who are the real tobacco users of tho Uni versity. We have no deBiro to defond .the practice which some of the stu dents Indulge In during chapel hour, of hanging around tho fence gates, smoking, chewing and expectorat ing, but wo fail toseo that thlB fact excuses tho practice in any other place. Even granting thnt these practices are a disgrace to the University, does this fact malco it any more decent for the same custom to prevail In a lecture room or library? Two wrongs do not make one right, and if the two offenses wore plotted on co-ordinate paper and compared with each other, we believe that the men who take the trouble to step out side tho University grounds and do their expectorating whero the elements of the weather will have n chance to wash away sins are a bit higher up the scale as men than those who deem It too much trouble to wait until aftor class is over, but content themselves with ruminating a sweet morsel dur ihg an Interesting lecture and break ing the monotony occasionally by fir Ing at a radiator or knot hole, or if none Is handy, at any old thing that happens to be far enough away for good rango practice. We do not wish to reflect on tho stu dents in the law school or on any member of that department. We further believe that the greater number of men In the law school are perfect and well-behaved gentle men and are in no way connected with this filthy abuse of decency, but the fact remains ttint cuspidors ,'wero pur chased for tho law library and lecture rooms, and we believe the authorities knew why they wero purchasing them and where they belonged. In the case at hand, people are bound to judge by appearances, and 11 tho trouble has been caused by only one or two men, so-called, It Is unfortunate that the re maining "sheep" must be, blamed for the actions of the "goats." Appear? nnces were such as to necessitate tho purchase of tho articles in question1 and we have no desire to go into the problem and And out who are th guilty offenders. We would sugges that the "sheep" In tho law schoo go after the problem and instead of trying to defend the necessity " of jhav-? Ing spittoons in their department and of 'finding other Offenders -in the iUni versify, they put their shoulder to tho wheel and do a Uttle "internal" roastlpg and r,oot out the .vQjtendlng, 'goats." &i)c&rj Corners 7 W w y O am NEW ATmAGTIOA hnhxrsity Students will find litem 4 Especially Attractive SAM'S CAFS J 1 7-121 North Thirteenth yi z Q g Corners (lt)(lCa33tlC01g)Cg3Cg3(lJC01()CgJ()Cgjgl THE UNIVERSITY DINING ROOM Is flourishing under the new manage ment.
