CORNHU8KER CUTS.
Kr. Bell Wants 8tudents to Get
Things Straight.
There seems to be some misunder
standing among, the juniors and
seniors, especially the , members of
the Law College, about-' the charges
made by Mr. TOwnshend for tho pic
tures for tho CornhuBker. Tho,prlqo
charged to all is $2,75; of which $1.50
goes to Mr., Townshqnd for which
each student Is entitled to one dozen,
pictures. The other $1.25- goes to
tho. Cornhusker to help pay for .the
cuts to be. placed in the book. Any
additional pictures can be secured at
$1.00 per dozen from Mr., Townshend.
, There hdvo been, some Inquiries
with regard to the possession of the
individual cuts after the Cornhusker
Is through with them, There -are no
individual cuts, made, the. picture is
.taken from' the proof-mid. placed on
the design, decided upon by tlie staff.
The-design Is then dent, to the en-

Such are. the results of thotsbrlea
of debates which were hold at' differ
ent western colleges last Friday oven-""
ing. When it is considered that hi
overy case the afllrmatlye was victori
ous, and that the affirmative team was
by no means tho stronger" of the teams
which some colleges produced, It
seems very Hkoljr that thoro must
have been something abodt the word
ing of the question which mude the
affirmative the best side to support In
a debate.
The attendance nt the debate in
Lincoln last Friday night was remark
able not only for tho size, but also for
the quality of tho audience. Governor

Minnesota won their debate with'
Nebraska on account of the superior
manner in which they seemed to prej-sent-Urerr-TJldiT-oT
'tireu'eatlonAl-;
though, their arguments 'when an
alyzed are" seon to bo a series of fal
lacies, Nebraska does not contend for
a moment that the 'decision was" un
just or that Minnesota did not earn
her victory. The Minnesota speakers
had ah apparent strength which made
a deep Impression.-

Mr, Bracelln and Mr. Cronln, two
of Nebraska's old debating stars, were
much in evidence at this debate. After
' r-
tho first Nebraska speaker had con-
eluded his argument a big voted from
ono corner of the room called out,
MWhatJs the matter with Nebraska ?,"
T'hen, from the other corner of tho:
rcom came -a little voice In reply.
This became so Tegular .that ufter
each Nebraska speaker .finished the
audience waited for the little duet.
