Tho Daily Nobrnakan has been criti cized roconlly by mombors of ono of tho great political partlos for what these men have boon pleased to term Its partisan attitudo In publishing tho news of the activities of tho republican and democratic clubs of tho university. TIioho men havo intimated that this papor has intentionally left out news about one of tho clubs and slighted Us mombors by giving more spaco to tho happenings or the other organization. Such accusations aro absolutely with out foundation. Tho Nobraskan, as a university pub lication has no favorites in the na tional race betwoen Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft, and la treating tho nows con cerning tho two clubs representing thoso nion in this university without bias or reference to porsonal prefer ences. Its editors would Uko to see a certain one- of tho candidates triumph over his opponent and they would bo pretty poor citizons if they did not but they do not lot their political be liefs color tho nows which is printed in this publication. The columns of tho Nobraskan aro 1141 ,0. Two Stokes 1415.0. open to the publication of all the ar ticles about ''the two university clubs and their members that are news. Po litical boosts and opinions cannot bo given any space In thoso columns un less they are placed in tho department headed "University Forum". Articles havo been sent into the editorial desks of. tho Nobraskan that woro most par tisan, and the waste basket was their recipient. Tho authors of them were mad, but thoy had no right to be, for they were asking too much, oven of a university paper) when thoy sought to get certain candidates to tho fore through the columns of this papor. Any news about tho political cluba of tho students is printed by the Nebjas kan. Any articles that contain opinions are kept out This is true of matter offered for publication by members of either party. The University of Washington is agitated over tho "frat" question. A conference of fraternity and sorority representatives was recently hold at -which various rules restricting rush ing and social activities woro adopted. Rule 3 follows: "No fraternity or sor ority shall give more than three so clal functions a year at which mem hers, of (the opposite sex are enter talnpd, and none of these shall take place during tho 'first month of the year." A REMARKABLE FIND DINOHYU8 DI8COVERED IN 8IOUX COUNTY DURING 8UMMER. ONE OF TWO KNOWN SPECIMENS Charles H. Morrill Geological Expe dition Makes Investigations at Ranch of James Cook at Agate. Among numerous speclmentB se cured by tho Morrill geological oxpedi tlon in 1008 the most unique and valu ablo was that of DinohyuB, the giant hog of the Miocene. There is but one other speclment of tho genius In ex istence, and it is located in the Car negie museum and is considered by tho public their moBt interesting speci men. Such a specimen nB the one at Nebraska cannot bo bought for money. Tho Morrill annual geological expe dition consisting of Professor Bar bour, Edwin Davis, Alvin Bumstead, Leigh Kraka, and It. A. Van Orsdel spent the season of 1908 in the famous fossil Holds at Agate, Sioux county, Nebraska, on tho ranch of Mr. James Cook. There were associated five distinct institutions, namely: Yalo, Amherst, Columbia and the American museum of natural history, Carneglo museum, and tho University of Ne braska. These aggregated a total of more than twenty paloritologlsts, prob ably tho largest number of field work ors ever gathered together In ono spot. Between forty and "fifty tons of ma terial wore shipped from this ono lo cation. Location of Specimen. The giant hog was found In the Morrill quarry on University Hill, op poalto Carnegie Hill, on the south bank of the Niobrara rlvor. Several thousand tonB of rock were blasted away by dynamite, In order that the members of tho expedition might get at tho bono layer which was located some ten or twelve feet below the surface. As soon as the coarqer rock was blasted off the students began digging with pick and chlel. One of the students came unexpectedly upon a bone two feet above tho bono level. It Is counted very fortunate that the biasing stopped where It did, other wise an invaluable specimen would have been damaged. Description of Bones. This "find" proved to be the top of How the fellows are going after those new toppy winter oxblood shoes and winter oxfords at the 1415 O St. store and at the plain lines --Patent leather dress shoes, etc. all $3.50. WHY PAY MORE? the monstrous shell of the giant hog As the work continued the Bkull, low er jaw, neck vertebrae; chest and rib bones, back bones, plevls, fore limbs and hind limbs were 'chiseled out in turn. It was a veritable bone heap about fourteen feet In length and five feet In width. Practically every bone is present, and in a state of the finest preservation. The size of the animal is about eleven o twelve feet In length, with four or more feet In height, with four quarters and a neck so strong and massive that we can scarcely Judge of Ub size. Tho first vertebrae of the neck is fifteen Inches through. Its skull 1b a little over three feet In length. Its canine teeth were almost tusks, being about eleven inches in length and bout nine IncheB In circumference. Its hind quarters were quite unlike Its fore quarters, being small and retreating rapidly so that Its appearance was that of a wild boar, though much vaster than any domestic animal. Its legs were long so that the animal was fleet footed. It was capable of rooting like the domestic "hog, 'and probably feJ on the rich foliage around tho water courses, although it was capable of making long trips out on the plainB. Th6 arrangement of the teeth sug gest the' idea, that some at least of his acta of browsing were performed by closing his mouth on brushwood, and then by a motion of his head stripping the twigs of their bark and leaves. The creature was plainly not avorse to eating flesh, being much like the domestic hog In this respect. , Require Glass Cage Tho specimen when mounted In the university museum will require a glass caso about ten feet high, four teen feet long and five foot wide Hon. Charles H. Morrill, who con tributes the means for the mainten ance of tho annual geological expedi tion has, by this means, added nn other Invaluable scientific specimen to his long list of unique fossils now In the University of Nebraska.

Byerts. Vice-president Jess Clark. Secretary Florence Ridell. Treasurer W. A. Monsen. I Sergeant-at-arm8 Harry Ingles. The little interest which has been evidenced In tho Junior class elections was shown by the email crowd which was present for the election of officers yesterday. Only about fifty were pres ent and only ono ballot was necessary for the selection of a treasurer. Presldena Harry Ingles called the class to order and announced that tho business of the meeting waB the elec tion of officers. W. E. Byerts waB at once nominated for the presidency by Arbor Barth. A motion was then made that tho nominations be closed-. Be fore this motion could be voted upon, another motion was made that the vote be made unanimous for Mr. By erts. This motion was out or order, and the vote was taken upon tho or iginal motion that the nominations be closed. This was carried and the mat ter was then dropped, It evidently be ing considered that Mr. Byerts had been elected. It is said that there will be no contest of the election as there seems to bo nobody else willing to an nounce that he cares for the position. Miss Riddell Elected. Miss Ridell was then nominated for secretary and was elected by acclama tion. Mr. Maywood was nominated for vice-president, but withdrew his name. Jess Clark was then nominated and elected. W.A.

Arbor Barth was nominated and It was then moved that tho nominations -be closed and tho unanimous vote of the class bv cast for Mr. Barth. This motion was carried and Mr. Barth thus became tho representative of the class. Mr. H. G. Byers, head of the chemis try department of the University of Washington, who has just returned from a fifteen months' leave of ab sence, Bpent In visiting German uni versities and pursuing research work in chemistry, has expressed himself as thoroughly disappointed with the char acter of work done in the higher Ger man Institutions. In direct contrast, he Is most agreeably surprised in the comparative excellency of the work In the American universities. Dean A. R. Priest and other univer sity authorities are surprised and grat ified at the large registration in the new journalism dopartment.
