THE, UNIVERSITY. A royiow of somo of the things ac complished at Nebraska durlqg the yoar 1907-08 rovoals tho fact that tho institution 1b making wonderful pro gress. In a material way there have been added Bovoral new buildings, both on tho campuB and at the Farm. The new Temple building in particular has added so much to tho life of the stu dents that many who wore skeptical about accepting the gift from Mr. Rockofollor now look at the matter favorably. Wo are Boon to have an engineering building that will make room for the great number of hereto fore crowded students of this depart ment. Tho now historical library, too, while not on the campus, will be a groat addition to tho University. The Museum has boon re-installed in very respectably quartors that promlBQ 9 Increase as room is needed. At the Farm the now domestlo science build ing represents a great triumph for thopo who have worked so hard toward this end. And noxt year we are to have a College of Education, which will add greatly to tho strength of the University. These, and many minor improve ments, havo all come within the last year. But there are otherB no less important. Fraternity life haB been improved by the inter-fraternity coun cil. Somo of the bad features of room-lng-houBo life Twyo been .abolished. The University, after years of dllatorl ness, has been living up to tho law this yoar and now furnishes books to tho students "at wholesale pricos, plus a reasonable cost for handling." Athletics have been put under a busi ness management which accounts to a representative board of faculty and students. And finally there Is to bo a now system of registration, seek ing to leave tho choice of each half year's work with the individual stu dent, but advising and limiting hlnf and giving him tho opportunity to consider the matter three months be fore finally making h)s choice. These advances in equipment and mothodB indicate beyond a doubt which way the University of Nebras ka is moving. Somo of the men who havo done most ior tho school can re member when the enrollment was not over flvo hundred. In view of tho ad vances that have been made under these men, who will attempt to pre dict tio progress of our University in tho future? Already its graduates are a powor in the state and each year displaces the old skeptical forces on educational matters with those whose young energy and determination is devoted to tho cause of hlgner educa tion. The University's growth will bo a geometrical progression. To our Chancellor and Board of Re gents, those members of tho faculty whp'haxe done bo much for young No braslca, and those citizens with whom the University is an intimate interest, this" growth ought to be a source of great, gratification. State institutions Of learning are taking the educational scepter and to those who guide Ne braska's destiny belongs the honor of developing ono of tho greatest of tnese. Cascade Conference. To weeKs fromvlast night tho Uni versity men who are going to .attend tho Student Conference at Catidade, Colorado, will leave over the Union Pacific. Thoy will go to Valley, where connections will bo made with the main lino to Denver. Delogatos from tho other colleges of tho state wJU jojn tho party along the route. Special tourists cars havo been arranged for, so all the students will bo together. Cascade Is situated In Ute PasB, part way up Pike's Peak, and Is salcj to be one of the raoBt beautiful spots In all tho west Several hundred stu dents will bo In attendance from col leges and liniveraiUes throughout tho west The morning will bo taken lip with addresses given by some of the strongest speakers In tho country, while tho afternoons are given up to recroatlon. Contests will bo held in baseball and track athletics to deter mine the boat states. Nebraska Uni versity is endeavoring to send twenty five men. At prosont Bevonteen have signified their intention of going. The opportunity is opon to any student who wishes to attend. Spoclal rates have been secured making this a rare opportunity. Der Kindern in Guardhouse. Secretary "Joo" Der Klnderln of the Y. M. C. A., who 1b in camp with tho cadets at Nobraska City, was placed under arroBt Thursday night,' and taken to the guardhouse. Somo cadet with a highly dovolopod sense Qf hu mor lit some . fire-crackers under " mor lit some firq-crackors . under "Joe's" tent and disappeared. When tho guard appeared "Joe" was tho only person around, and he was ac cordingly hustled off to tho guardhouse. Women and Government That the women at Nebraska are taking an increasing interest in public affairs is evidenced not only In the new Equal Suffrage Club, but In the records of tho Political Science de partment aB well. This department has been in existence but two years. The first semester of last year but four of every twenty-two students In the department were women; and the second semester flvo of each twenty. The first semester this year the pre centago was twejvo put of forty, and this semester fourteen to forty-seven. In other words, the percentage of women In the department haB In creased from 18 to 30 In two years. Found Nebraska pin. Inquire at Nebraskan office. Dramatic Club Try-outs. Next semester tho try-outs for mem bership in the Dramatic Club will be held earlier than usual. They will take place soon after the school opens. Anyone wishing to pick out some thing during vacation should got something along the dramatic line, as tho try-puts will bo almost wholly made urrof-this class of work. Under tho auspicea of the Dramatic Club, tho cast of tho play "Welcome" went to Falrbury yesterday and pre sented their play laBf-evenlng. When the students return to school noxt Tall thoy will not find fifty or sixty athletes practicing football on thp campus, as is customary, but there will bo some consolation In the fact that a new engineering building will be partially constructed, which will be a credit to Nebraska.
