A WORD TO FRESHMEN.
Thoro 1h one feature connected with
University life thnt should be brought
to the notice of all HtudentB, and
Froshmon .particularly, nt the be
ginning or evory year. We refer to the
Convocation Periods, occurring at 11
a. in. on overy Monday, Wednesday
and Friday or the school year.
The first two periods In each week
are devoted to carefully prepared ad
drcHHCs on subjects of unusual Inter
est, dollverod by members of tho Fac
ulty and such prominent speakers as
can bo secured. Combined with these
talks nre dovotlonal exorcises of short
duration nnd of a strictly non-soctni-Ian
nature, led by various members of
tho Faculty or by clergymen of Lin
coln. To new students especially, for whom
the unusual freedom of University life
offers Bomo temptation to relax their
Interest In mntters religious, these
Convocation Porlods should nfford a
welcome chance to combine a whole'
Homo Influence and a wider knowledge
of current events and modern thought.
On Friday or each week the en tiro
Convocation Period is devoted to tho
best music that Lincoln affords. Un
der tho competent direction of Mrs.
Raymond, programs aro rendered thnt
would command good prices If offered
to the general public. At Christmas,
selections from Tho Messiah are given
by soloists of considerable reputation,
and by the Unlvorslty Chorus, with o
Jfull orchestra led by Mrs. Raymond.
Taking everything Into considerat
ion, the Convocation Periods are a pail
of. tho University that you can not
afford to miss. Make a "new (school)
year's, resolution" to attend them n)t
and stick to it.

Many Need Advice.
The number of old students that
consulted tho ndvisory board this year
greatly exceeded that of last year.
General satisfaction seemed to be ex
pressed with the method now Inaugur

"How Phfnts Travel" was the sub
Ject of a very Interesting address bx
Dean Charles E. Uessey of the Indus
trial College Monday morning. Some
plants, said he, movo bodily in air and
In water. Air Is tho modium thru
which plants manage to fly, In one
way or another. Such plants are, of
course, microscopic. One mode of
.traveling Is by seeds which are really
little plants. Early in life plants ex
hibit tho desire .to wander. Like some
people, seed-bearing plants do not like
to travel when thoy get old.
Seeds move thru throe principle
media: by winds which pick up seeds
and blow them nbout; by water, which
floats l hem, and by animals, often tho
small boys, who scatter them around.
Tho pino tree, one of the oldest of
seed-bearing plants, travels many
miles by menns of Its seeds, which-
aro provided with whorls or little
wings. Thus the" seed of maples and
box elders travel with tho wind. Mov
ing only a llttlo at u time, pine trees
travel, then settle down for a while,
as did our ancestors who first came to
the shores of our country.
Another device which the plant em
ploys is the fluffy mass of hair, like
thistle down, by which tho wind read
ily carries the soed. In the dandoUon
and cottonwood tree also each cottony
mass starts with a llttlo seed.
Tho sycamore seeds nre In a tight,
round ball, which, as It rolls and
bounds along, drops seeds here and
there. Tho Russian thlstlo and tum
bleweeds ise the same plan.
One of Nature's Interesting methods
Is to put a little flesh around the seed,
as In the apple, watermelon nnd
cherry. When one throws away tho
stones ono scatters tho seeds very
effectually. Still more Interesting aro
the edible nuts and seeds, as tho hick
ory, walnut and chestnut, which aro
hardshelled. Other plants, like the
Spanish needles and burdocks, fasten
themselves to us like parasites.
Prof. Alice Howell of tho Depart
ment of Rhetoric Is detained at Sedro
Wooley, Washington, by the serious
Illness of her mother. Until hpr re
turn the courses In elocution and pub
lic speaking will bo conducted by Miss
Bessie" Brown, '03, an instructor In
