A NEEDED CHANGE. A groat university Bhould be the Lonvo of culture and refinement. It should lead tho community not only lu Intellectual attainments and prac tical achievements, but also In tho ap preciation of beauty in all its forms. Wlillo it may bo possible for an ap preciation of beauty to exist among tho most adverse physical conditions and under tho greatest disadvantages, it hardly Beoms likely tbat a great university is adopting the means moBt calculated to develop this, whon It places before tho students things which are in no way beautiful and evory campus visitor to remark on their ugliness. The condition of tho back half of our unlvorsity campus has long been tho cause of most uncompllmontary comments from campus visitors. When students relurnod from their summer vacation much of It resembled n mln aluro hayfleld. Not only was tho grass not cut, but no attempt whatever had Hjeon made to improve the appearance -with flowers. Whllo it might be ex cusablo to have a part of the campus ipoorly kept if wo had a largo cam pus like many other universities have, Much of tho bothor formerly Inci dent to tho use of reserved books has been obviated this year by tho intro duction of a now systom, whoreby tho librarian is assured that the reserves will not leavo tho library. The books specially dealing with a subject, and which tho profeBBors desired to have the studonts In their department uBe, were formerly selected and placed up on tho reserve sholvos In tho reading room, where tho studonts had free access to them. Great difficulty was often experi enced, however, owing to the small number of copies of each book, and tho fact that all the members of n class would desire tho same book, Often on tho same day. It was found Impossible to lenrn the whereabouts of a book even though the reading room were vacant, and It was to get around this carrying away of the books that the new system was Instituted. Penalty for Delay. It Is now nocessary to apply at the reBorvo window, receive the book and acknowledge Its receipt, and return it within two hours, under a penalty of twenty-flvo cents for keeping It over the limit set. While the new system may be found inconvenient in case a long reference Is to bo worked up, It Is intended to obviate the monopoly of two or three reserved books by one student, as was formerly possible A great improvement has been made in trie stack room in tbat a new two-story steel stack has been ereced In the front half of the room Owing to the rapid growth of the library, it was found necessary to make more room, nnd this method was adopted as the most expeditious method or doing It. May Enlarge Room. Owing to tho fact that the rest of tho stack room will probably soon be enlarged In the same way, no per manent arrangement wherein the books would bo shelved, In consecutive order according to class was possible. Announcement has been made that Colorado University ts the recipient of a 75,0Q0 gift from Senator Gugge helm. Tho donation will be used In tho erection of one of the finest law buildings in the west. At Kansas State Agricultural college with an enrollment of about 2,000 stu dents, there are five men's literary so cieties and three women's. The limit for membership in all of these Is 100 and most of the societies are full and have as many as twenty-five on the waiting list. Tuesday night John Coons, one of the most respected students of Kan sas Agricultural College was the vic tim of a shot fired by M. A. Crevls ton, an enraged murderer, who.beBldes Bhootlng down Coons, wounded I. P. Immenschub without the sllghest prov ocation. Coons and his three compan ions, Dwlght Miller, I. P. ImmenBchuh, and Eugene Swegmnn had been greet- J ing the incoming students and were on their way home when the murder was committed. The fall term opened with n rush for engineering students, especially for the mechanicals at Iowa State College, as new equipment has been installed during the summer and many new op portunities for testing can now be had by engineefs of all branches. Tho en gineering laboratory in old Engineer ing hall has received most of the new Installments. The I. S. C. "Student" ot Ames, la., Is trying a novel scheme of adding subscriptions. For a week a paper Ib to be published which Is "what ought to be." The students will be expected to voice their approval of the improve ment by taking subscriptions. Yale. Yale's football squad was Increase4 by the addition of a dozen subs Tuesday,- composed of players who are re turning to college to begin fall term Thursday.

Not only is tho campus not cared for as well as tho average private yard, but the authorities have seen fit to oroct various sheds In front of Me chanical Arts hall which are not only a sore to tho eye, but a serious men ace In coao ot flro. Taking the most lenient view of the situation It seems ns though, If sheds must bo built, that they might bo placed in some corner where they would not wound tho feel ings of every student who wisheB to feel that his university is as good as tho best in tho land. It Booms lncred itablo that tho unlvorsity can bo so poverty stricken that it cannot afford the oxpenso of one man's time .Jo keep the grass cut. In tho East it is u custom for the dif ferent education centers to attempt to hold up before their students the highest aesthetic ideals as well as to tain them so that they can earn their bread and butter. It is almost a universal rulo that tho campus is kept as beautiful as a park. When this 1b tho case how can the Universi ty of Nebraska hopo to take her place among tho great educational Institu tions of. tho country whon shd cannot even present a campus that is well Icept? are placed on the second deck. Owing to the changes In the location of works on special subjects, many of -tho stu dents are finding it difficult to readily locate the departments that have be come familiar by a long use of the books shelved there. QUE8TION FOR ALBERT WATKIN8. Edward E. Gillespie Asks Reply From Bryan Supporter. LINCOLN, Sept., 23. "To tho Edi- tor of the Daily Nobraskan A ques tion I desire to nsk Albert Watklns, postmaster at Lincoln under Grover Clovoland, is this: If tho promulgator of an issue is tho solo proprietor and owner of that issue, even if he is the first promulgator of tho same and; that being true, Is he the best and only oho qualified to carry out that lssuo?

Because of the humidity, only sig nal practice, preceded by the long rudi mentary drill, was ordered, but Head Coach said that on Wednesday the first scrimmage was to take place. George Chadwlck, captain in 1903, took charge of the half pack practice. He is the first graduate coach to look after a department of the active coach ing. Dr. Hammond, half back in 1894, was also present Trainer John Mack was unable to assist in tho coaching because ho sprained hlB ankle at the morning practice by stumbllng over a stake.
