GIVE THEM A SEND-OFF.
The Nebraska football team leaves
for Minnesota on the Burlington at "6
o'clock this evening, and every stu
dent In the university should be on
hand to give the players a royal send
off. The game 8aturday is Nebraska's
greatest opportunity since 1002 to de
feat the great Gophers, and the stu
dents can help win the game by boost
ing for the eleven.
Get megaphones and a girl and be
at the depot.
Show the coach and his players that
the entire student and faculty body
trusts In them to get Minnesota's
scalp.
The Cornhuskers are, In shape to
whip the Gophers and with the stu
dents showing their confidence In them
there Is bound to be gloom on North
rop field Saturday afternoon for the
Minnesota rooters.
i Remember, the team leaves the Bur
lington depot at 6 o'clock. The band
and cadets will' be there. Do not be a
piker. You be there.
NEW- UNIVER8ITY RULE8.
Tho results of tho last meeting of
tho University Senate are so unusual
and make such marked changes in sev
eral features of studont life that they
fy r TZ cUTi hnrn $6 for look UP m.Y 1415 O
1141, 0. Two Stores 4S. O. didn't come from there
havo occasioned moro than passing no
tice. Tno oonrd of deans is undoubt
edly taking a stand that Bhould result
in much good when they attempt to
restrain many college pranks that have
no real value and nre not oven man
ifestations of what is commonly known
as school spirit. Howover, many of
tho reforms are bo radical, almost rev
olutionary in fact that they desoro
close examination.
In regard to such things as the
"night shirt" parade tho now rules de
clare as .ollows:
"We look upon 'sneak -day,' tho
'night shirt' parade and. similar func
tions as violations of good order and
discipline that should 'no longer ho
permitted."
That there is considerable justifica
tion for the attitude towards the
"night shirt' parade is undoubted, but
by what reasoning "sneak day" and
the "night shirt" parade are placed in
tho same category.ls hard to see., Sure
ly there can be but little objection to
, "sneak day" except its name. Surely
absence from -classes for ono day dur
ing the-cltae of the .final semester can
not' bo a very Berlous thing. i If wp had
many such customs at Nebraska we
. .could hardly complain, but as this Is
'about the only, one that is, loft, it
seems as though It should have been
snared.
In speaking of high school day the
rules read asvfollows.
"Wo urge that tho high school prin
cipals rostoro high school day to Its
original purpose of giving their pupils
nn opportunity of seolng tho Universi
ty at work." .
Surely it Is not such nn inspiring or
unusual thing to see a student en
gaged in study. Tho old method gavo
a strong incentive to induce high
school studonts to come to Lincoln,
but now that this Is romoved It seems
hardly Ilkoly that thoso who are not
directly interested in tho university
will care to mako tho trip. Before,
wo had a chanco of interesting thoso
who wore not already Interested. Now
we can hope only to hold tho interost
of thoso who are considering coming
to the university.
In speaking of tho cadet encamp
mont, tho rules read as follows:
"The annual encampment shall bo
hold at Lincoln, at such time of the
year as tho Chancellor and tho Com
mandant may soloct. Tho studonts
shall bo encamped for not moro than
sovon days and shall bo required to
attend nil regular clnsses until 4:00 p.
m. oach day from Monday to Friday,
inclusive."
When cnrofully considered this rule
becomos tho most grotesque of them
all. The encampment is supposed to
be for tho purpose of teaching stu
dents whnt real military life moans.
Under tho present arrangement, the
student might ns well pitch a tent on
tho roof of his house and sleep thero
for all tho practical benefit ho will
obtnln. If mo students tiro under tho
noccsslty of ntonding school until 4:00
o'clock every afternoon, when wll
thore bo any timo for military drill
If tho studont is to attend school or
ory day, does it follow that ho will
have lessons to propare after school
hours? If tho student Is to bo on tho
campus until 4 o'clock how can thoso
In charge of tho camp arango to sup
ply the battalion with food, when only
ono menl is taken nt the camp? Will,
men not accustomed to sleoping out
of doors be in any shape to enter a
clans room, after thoir attempt at
camping out .

WORK PROVES POPULAR
REFERENCE DEPARMENT IS AT
TRACTING ATTENTION.
AID TO WORK OF LEGISLATORS
Mr. .Sheldon Receives Inquiries From
Both Kansas and Iowa Regard
ing the Work of. the New
Department.
During the Inst few weeks Mr. A. E.
Sheldon, Chief or the legislative ref
erence department of tho State His
torical Society has received letters
from both Kansas and Iowa request
ing Information as to tho work of his
department. Nebraska Is one of tho
few states in the union that have this
feature of tho work now in operation,
and thoso lettors indicate tho dogroe
of success which the new department
has attained.
Wisconsin was tho first state in tho
union to hnve such a department. It
had Its origin In the accidental meet
ing of an opportunity and a shrewd,
bright Into'lect In 1902. As worked
out by Its author it Is a combination
of reference library, presB clipping bu
reau and school of practicnl econ
omic research.
Work of Department.
The main work of tho department is
to furnish the latest and best informa
tion upon public questions. Its chief
use hns been by members of tho leg
islature, who must have information
upon a wide range of subjects, which
they cannot tnko time to hunt up for
themselves.
That the Wisconsin Idea has been a
practical success 1b undoubted. This
Ib ovldent from the facfthat tho Wis
consin legislature voted to Increase
tho monoy for its support. Tho depart
ment is constantly having calls for
information, both from members of
the legislature nnd others. Mr. Shel
don states that while he was In Wis
consin he mot n number of mombers
of tho legislature, all of whom gavo
their unsought nnd enthusiastic testi
mony to tho-valuo of the department.
Public Questions Studied.
In the collection of material special
attention is given, to such questions as
nre likely to become subjects for leg
islation. In tho attempt to get useful
information, tho platforms of tho po
litical parties are studied as furnish
ing evidence of whnt Is of most in
terest to the people of tho state.
Thus special offort Is made to so-

questions as direct primaries, railroad
regulation, revenue systems, local op
tion, municipal government, employ

' Tho aim of the Nebraska depart
ment is also to clip, classify and index
matter relating to Nebraska and west
ern history which is not Ilkoly to be
come n subject of legislation. Mater
ial of this kind, ready and available
for use, Is constantly asked for by
public speakers, newspaper writers,
members of literary cluos and school

Books for Reference.
.Books jis well as clippings on popu
lar questions are also obtained when
ever possible. Tne books consist both

as books qf research and Investiga
