HIT8 RIGHT CORD.
Tho decision of Chancellor Andrews
of Nebraska university to bar all sorts
of student rowdyism nnd "tomfoolery"
1b directly in lino with the policy which
must soenor or later bo extended to
all tho higher educational institutions
of the country. The adoption of such
a policy does not mean, or at least
cannot bring about, when judiciously
pursued, the suppression of legitimate
i couege spirit, un tne otlior hand, it
win result in the only proper expres
sion of the true college spirit, tho
most enjoyable legacy of school day
, memories.
There are ample opportunities for
tho legitimate manifestation of this
"spirit without making moro bullies of
upper classmen or humiliated victims
of the rest. 1$ must bo conceded, how
ever, that there has been a gratifying
Improvement along tills line In recent
years. The more brutal forms of haz
ing have been very generally sup
pressed and the reform which la now
. most necessary Is rather along the lino
of greater dignity than of greater fair
ness in t no, relations between students.
Young men and young women who
aro permitted to attend college should
havo a proper conception of thoir re
sponsibilities and privileges, pot alono
out of consideration for tho parontB
whoso money thoy spend, but for tholr
own ultimnto good. A duo recog
nition of the vnluo of tholr privileges
and opportunities need not mako thorn
moro "grinds," but it ought to make
thorn ladios and gentlemen.
By far tho greater number of stu
dents in the colleges and unlvorsities
of tho country aro tho sons and daugh
ters of parontB who belong to tho so
called middle classes. In a great many
instances it means no small sacrifice
to send their children to a higher in
stitution of learning, and anything
which Interferes with .making tho most
out of tho college courso should bo
Buppressed. Frivolity Is hardly Iosb
out of place than rowdylBin, nnd Chan
cellor Andrews is acting wiBoly in com
pelling his students to "tend to their
knitting," duly mindful at tho samo
time of tho fact that thore Is both time
and need for reasonablo pleasures.

A COMMITTEEE 18 APPOINTED.
Question of Laboratory Fees Will Be
Discussed.
Chancellor Andrews has appointed
a faculty committee to investigate tho
charging of laboratory fees and to
suggest, methods of improvement at
NobraBka. Tho commltteo consists
of the following members: Wr. Ward,
Dr. Avery, and Dr. Dessey.
Tho commltteo has decided to In
vestigate conditions in other colleges
and from tho facts discovered draw
their conclusions as to what is tho
host syHtem for ubo at Nebraska. In
doing this tho commltteo will investi
gate conditions at Kansas, Iowa, Michi
gan, Colorado, Minnesota, and Wis
consin stato universities.
For years Nobraska had tho- deposit

Boy declares that personally ho be

fulness. The Increased labor of keep
ing track of the amount due each per
son, however, made it Impossible to
keep this system In operation.
STUDIOUS FRATS QUIT DANCES.
Missouri Men Sacrifice Many Social
Affairs To Study.
Tho fraternities of the University jof
Missouri have decided to curtail the
number of "rrat" dances this year by
uniting In giving three formal "Pan
Hellenic" dances, probably nt tho unl-
Green Is the dope. I show
ties, In sox, In handkercchlef
verslty gymnasium. Theso will take
the place In Greek letter circles of
tho formal dances which each frater
nity has given separately heretofore.
The number of informal dances at
the chapter bouses also will be smnll
er. A decision to this effect was reached
at a recent meeting of tho Pan-Hellon-1c
council of the fraternities. It was
decided to give the formnl dances In
the gymnasium if the use of it can
bo obtained for that purpose from the
university authorities.
The action of the fraternities fol
lowed a conference with Pr6fessor. B.
F. Hoffman, chairman of tho commit
tee on student affairs, called last Sun
day morning with the Pan-Hellenic
Council. Prof. Hoffman estimated
that each fraternity gave ono formal
and eigh.t Informal dances. Ho asked
that the "frat" men cut down tho
number in the interest of study.
Tho Massachusetts Institute of
Technology will havo a Prussian
teacher as tho result of the plans of
tho Prussian Minister of Education
nnd tho Carnegie Foundation, backed
by tho funds of the latter This plan
has been in effect for some time be
tween Prussia, on one side, and
France and Germany on the other.

The plnyers wero out In force again
last night for the second time sinco
the great struggle at Minnesota last
Saturday. On Monday ovoning it was
raining hard and the practice was not
very satisfactory although a hard sig
nal practice was gone through. Sev
eral veterans wore absent altogether
from the line-up, being still on tho list
of thoso laid up for repairs. Tho
squad quit early Monday afternoon
and came in so as to attend the rous
ing football rally, which was held in
Memorial nail at 5 o'clock. At this
time, if they havo ever been In doubt
of it, tho playors wore given ample
proof of the explicit confidence which
the entire student body and faculty
placcH In them. Tho existence of a
strong spirit in the hearts of Nebraska
studontB was manifested, a spirit
which rivals or oven eclipses tho
much talked of spirit which is shown
nt eastern colleges. Now tho players
can buckle down to tho great work
which lies before them during tho re
mainder of the season, with a serene
mind, knowing that they aro backed
by the moral -support of tho entire
school and that In tho hard struggles
which remain thoy will bo assisted by
the sincere Interest and enthusiasm of
every person in our grent university.
Veterans Absent.
At practice last night several of tho
volerniiB were not out at all, among
them. "Bill" Chaloupka, Kroger, and
Minor. In addition to these Cooke,
beltzer, Frum, Johnson and Captain
Harvey Indulged only in signal prac
tice, refraining from scrimmage work
until tho soreness resulting from Sat
urday's gruelling wears away.
During the short scrimmage the
'varsity, with only four regulars in the
line-up, .did nothing spectacular at all.
They allowed tho scrubs to carry them
back for one touchdown and thoy in
turn made one against the scrubs.
After the wearing struggle which tho
regulars went through against the
heavy Gophers thoy wore in no con

.The scrubs used several new shift
plays which are taken from the Ames
repertoire. Assistant Coach Elliott
got a line on them at the Amos-MIn-nesota
game a week ago and his
scrubs are now using them so that

Coach Cole anticipates no great dif

Several times in the past the ijoblo
red men have sprung surprises on the
Cornhuskors, but thoy will not be
caught napping this trip.
Scrimmage In Detail.
The scrubs kicked off to Rathbone,
who returned ten yards. Birkner made
live yards on a cross buck through
loft tackle, and a line buck resulted in
no gain. A forward pass failed and
tho scrubs took the ball.
On the Ilrst down tho scrubs made
eight yards on a short pass from Has
call to Franck. Gibson added five
yards on a cross-buck, making It first
down. Franck mado four yards on a
straight buck and five more through
right tackle. Mussen made it first
down on a line buck, but was hurt and
retired. McCarthy went In at full
back.
Tho ball was now on tho Varsity's
5-yard line In the possession of tho
scrubs. An attempted cross-buck
netted no gain, and a fumble resulted
in a slight loss. On a wide run around
left ond the scrubs carried the ball
to tho 'Vnrvity's 2-yard lino, but here
it went to the regulars on downs.
On the first down for tho 'varsity
Birkner attempted to punt from behind
the goal lino but a poor pass caused
him to fumble the ball and Stunner,
left guard for the scrubs, fell on the
ball for a touchdown. Franck kicked
goal.
Tho scrubs kicked off to Bentloy,
who returned thirty yards. On a quar
terback run Bentloy lost eight yards
and a fumble on the next play resulted
in no gain. Birkner punted out of
bounds at the center of the Held. The
scrubs tried a shift formation and
Franck punted forty yards to Bentley
on tho 'varsity's .10-yard line.
A quarterback run failed to gain
and Birkner made two yards through
center. Birkner punted to Franck, who
signalled for a fair catch but he was
tackled and the 'varsity consequently
received a 15-yard penalty. The
ScrubB tried a forward pass, but It fell
Into Stutznogger's arms. For the var
sity Slaughter failed to gain around
right ond, Sturtzneggor made two
yards and a forward pass on the third
down was unsuccessful.
The scrubs got the ball on the 'vnr
slty'B 35-yard line and on first down
made two yards through the lino, but
on tho next play lost the ball on a
fumble. On the first down for the
'varsity Harte made a yard, a fumble
resulted In no gain and a forward pass
hit the ground. The 'varsity was pen
alized fteen yards and Birkner punted
to Hascail in the center of tho field.
The scrubs foUed on a forward pass
and punted to Bentley, who returned
four yards. Birkner made seven yards
on a cross-buck and Stutznegger made
It first down, through right guard. On
the next play Slaughter got away
around right end .and ran fifty-five
yards for a touchdown. Birkner kicked
goal.
TEXAS FACES GRAVE DANGER.
Literary Gem Declares it Is "Up to
Queen Fusser."
There Is a rumor abroad in univer
sity circles at Texas that Sunday af
ternoon calls are to be more popular
and displace the monthly open-house
custom. Everywhere it is being' dis
cussed, but despite much "Inside
, dope" many Individual opinions are
floating. The majority of the young
ladles are heartily in favor of tho
present system open house to gen-
lemen friends the Ilrst Saturday even-
ng of each month. It Is the general
mpression that Mrs. Klrby,the dean
or women, Is rather inclined toward
the present regime.
However, It Is understood that a
-huge-number of the fussing" men
object to the Saturday night open
house giving as their chief objection
the fact that all the literary societies
meet on that, night. This is, of
course, an objecion, but a very weak
one why can't the literary evening
be changed to some othor day in the
week? Should a man neglect the
training of his social nature just be
cause it Beems to conllict with his for
ensic aspirations? We fear it is only
the literary grinds who offer such ex
cuses for disliking the Saturday night
open house For it Is only this sort
of a chap who prefers to sit on a liu-d
chair for hours listening to the logic
of some would-be "argumentarian," to
lounging on cushions and pillows in
company with hosts of delightful var
sity girls.
If the girls are so in love, with tho
monthly one night arrangement of the
open house, they should be humored
they, are the ones most concerned.
But we are sure that all who at
tended the open house last Saturday
night will think favorably of the Sat
urday night plan. Tho feeling of re
stralnt which naturally Is -duo a Sun
day afternoon call was entirely ab
sent. Every ono felt at liberty to
talto part in songs arid merry making
and to enjoy himself to tho utmost;
and the evening everywhere was n
huge success.
So the question Is no longer which
"shall" It be? but which "will" it be?
Queen fusser, It Is up to us; talk up
the Saturday night plan.
