Dcspito the lowering clouds and a
few threatening drops of rain, seventy-six
loyal and enthusiastic Seniors
appeared bright and early last Satur
day morning on the O street viaduct
to take the trip to Capitol Beach,
whore the Senior party committee had
prepared a "May morning" breakfast.
A slight delay In the car sorvlco
led a large number to add a two-mile
Jtramp to their original plans, but at
nine o'clock the entire crowd gathered
around three largo bonfires where
coffee and "wienies" had already been
cooked, and breakfast was served to
the hungriest sot of students the Uni
versity has-evor produced. "Hot dog"
sandwiches, coffee, apples and dough
nuts formed the bill of fare and tho
facility with which they disappeared
would have made Herman the Great
green with envy if "ho could have seen
the performance.
After the breakfast, Impromptu
"stunts" were pulled off In which the
co-eds vigorously shared. Apple races,
a grand march, a tinware brigade, and
tubrides vied in popularity and for
once the proverbial Senior dignity was
forgotten. At eleven thirty tho crowd
piled all over an open car and was
.hauled back to town, where an hour
and a half was spent in showing Lln-
coin what a good time tho Seniors
had had.
A- line was formed on O street with
the Seniors" four abast. Led by
President McWJlliams, the class
marched thru town to the campus,
singingjtho University song and yell
ing the new Senior yell. When the
campus was reached the line of march
. led thru the various buildings and
Librarian Jewett was given an ova
tion. TheChancellor's office was closed
and the march to his residence was
at once Undertaken On the way two
Freshmen were picked up by the
Seniors' and were sent bareheaded to
the front of the column, .where by
their consistently reverential attitude
- they at l6Hce gained the good will of;

Arrived at tho Chancellor's resi
dence, a -card was sent in via, the
Freshmen, and the pext half-hour, was
given .over to speechmaklng and vig

.was unable to appear, .but this fact
did not in the least dampen the ardor
of the class, which' dispersed 'at last
in the highest of spirits. Already talk
is going the rounds of holding another
"blow-out," altho of a different nature,

BIG POLITICAL DEBATE.
Republicans and Democrats Warmly
Discuss Issues of Campaign.
Last Friday evening tho debate be
tween the University Republican Club
and the University Jefforsonian Club
was held before a large and enthusias
tic crowd In Memorial Hall. The ques
tion debated was: Should the next
congress bo Republican? "Tho Repub
licans were represented by Charles A.
Sundorlln, S. 1WL Rlnaker and Byron E.
Yodor. Tho Democratic speakers wore
D P. DoYoung, R. C. Hunter and M. L.
Corey.
Tho first Bpeakor for tho affirmative,
Mr. Rlnaker, outlined tho Republican
case, speaking. of the present pros
perity of the country as contrasted
with conditions under Democratic rule.
He briefly reviewed tho work of the
Fifty-ninth Congress and the personal
record of President Roosevelt. The
Issue, ho said, waB whether Roosevelt
should have a Congress to support him
or one to embarrass his efforts to
create political capital, of his failure.
The first speaker on tho negative,
Mr. De Young, introduced a chart to
show that the prteeB of American
goods protected by the Dlngloy tariff
are much lower In foreign countries
than here, that tho purchasing power
of wages has decreased, and that re
vising the tariff would not cause a
panic. Mr. De" Young said jio relief
from the exorbitant tariff rates could
be expected from a Republican admin
istration. He said the Dlngley act fos
tered trusts to which the Democratic
party was unalterably opposed.
Mr. Yoder spoke next for the affirm
ative dealing principally with' tho
trust question. He Bhowed that trusts
are nothing more4 or less than a nat
ural economic growth. The policy of
the republican party is not to destroy
these useful combinations of capital,
which is impossible and undesirable,
but to remedy their evils and preserve
their good features. He showed the

record of tho Republican party with
regard to tho trusts. Ab many trust
prosocutions have beorr made under
Roosevelt's administration as under
all previous ones.
Mr. Hunter followed for tho nega
tive. He claimed that tho Republican
party furnished, Immunity to tho trusts
In return for big contributions to their
campaign fund. Ho cited tho state
ment' of Lawson that $5,000,000 was
raised by tho Republican national com
mittee In tho last week of tho '06 cam
paign. Mr. Hunter also Bpoko of tho
oxcobbIyo tariff schedule, which oven
Congressman Dingley had conceded
was such.
Mr. Sundorlln tho next affirmative
speaker Bald that the Republican party
favored tariff revision when tho ad
vantages of revision outweighed Its
disadvantages and he read a state
ment of tho president to that effect.
He showed that there was a reason
for the higher prlceB In foreign coun
tries which waB entirely Just. He em
phasized the fact that the question
under consideration dealt solely with
the Sixtieth Congress which already
contains a Republican senate while tho
President, who Is Bure to be a strong
legislative factor, is also a republican,
A Democratic house could accomplish
nothing, ho said, but would only prove
hindrance In the path of desirable leg
islation. The last speaker on tho negative,
Mr. Corey, claimed that the strongest
support which tho President's reforni
measures received in the last congress
came from the Democrats. He declared
that tho railroad rate act and other
pieces of desirable legislation had
been urged by the Democrats in their
national platforms for many years. He
said his party would have enacted
laws which were not half-way meas
ures. Each of the speakers was allowed a
five-minute rebuttal speech which
brought the contest to an exciting fin
ish. -
Several old debaters said tlio debate
wa sthe best school debate ever held
here any the clubs are to be congratu
lated upon their enterprise in arrangJ
ing it.

NEBRA8KA QIVE8 MINNE80TA A
HARD GAME.
First Half Nebraska's CornnUskers
Play In Hard LUck Superior
Weight Victorious.
Nebraska waB dofoated last Saturday,
but It was one of the most glorious
defoats In hor football history. With
all odds against them, outwolghod,
without proBtlgo, having boon dofoated
and plttod against ono of tho strongest
teams In tho country, hor team outdid
thomsolvos and put up a gamo which
surprised evon tholf own supporters.
Had tho Cornhuskors had tholr Just
share of good fortune thoy would havo
scored, and oven might havo van
quished tho mighty Gophors. Throo '
tlmeB a Nebraska man got away cloan,
with nothing botwoonJilni and tho
Gopher goal but Minnesota's quarter -buck,
and once Cooko oven had a clear
field, with no ono In front, but oa,ch
time the Scarlet and Croam runnor
was downed and Nebraska's hopes
were shattered.
To say that tho Nebraska team put
up tho best gamo thoy havo playod
thlB season Is putting It very mildly.
The uninitiated spectator would hard
ly have known It for tho samo team
that was drubbed by Ames two weeks
ago. It would bo safe to say that, at
least during tho first half before Min
nesota's superior weight and strongth
iQld too much on tho men, Nebraska's
defensive work was of as high an or
der as of any team thai hasjover worn
tho Scarlet and Cream, and that never
before has-a Cornhusker team worked
Its open-field plays .sq successfully..
agalnBt a team of tho caliber of Min
nesota.
Minnesota kicked off to Nebraska,
Cooke carrying tho ball well back
toward tho middle of tho field. The
Cornhuskers immediately started a ,
procession toward Minnesota's goal.
Cooke made a pretty run around Min
nesota's left, a moment later Woller
followed with another, and then Cooko
got clear away for what looked like a
touchdown, T5ut was brought down on
Minnesota's fifteen yard lino. Hero
Nebraska .lost tho bajl on downs, but
Minnesota could gain Httlo or -nothing,
and it at once became apparent .that
tho Gophers wore 'going" to have' a
hard time in making (heir .distance
The ball changed hands .frequently,
Nebraska seeming to be able to, gain
easily around Minnesota's ends, but
.unable to do much with her line, while
Minnesota was compelled to rosort to
punting, in which she had tho better
of Nebraska. Minnesota got tho ball
on Nebraska's 35 yard line and Mar
shall tried for goal from placement,
but missed. After an exchange of
punts, Cooke got around Minnesota's
right end and past their quarterback,
but was caught by Schuknecht fifteen
yards from Minnesota's goal line.
Here Minnesota hold for downs and,
on obtaining the ball; punted out of
danger Later Minnesota again tried
for a field' goal, but missed. Thruout
this half tho Gophers found them
selves unable to gain-consistently, the
Cornhusker line stopping theplays al
