A piominont Nebraska professor complained against the Dully Nobrns kan for what ho wub pleased to term its favoritism to certain department oi this groat unlvorHlty. The sam complaint has come to this ofllco from other sources at different times dur ing the prosont semester. Tho chief "kick" Ih that a largo amount of nows is published about a few of tho de partments and that others are prac tically neglected. Such a criticism of tnly paper 1b bo groundless that it niokoB tho men who uttor it vjtand In a most absurd light. It simply proves that those professors who havo- found fault are themselvoB to b!muo for tho thing they criticise. If ttioy would consider what tholr position toward this paper has been they would then roallzo that the reason, for the lnck ot fre quent mention or their departments in tho Nobraskan is duo entirely to their own neglect of tho advortlBlng end of that department. Thoro are Borne instructors in this university who tako a keen interest in their college paper, and they see that it jgots now. Some of tho nows, of course, Is bound to bo of matters pertaining to their particular depart ment. Some of tho professors of this U4hO. Two Stores 1415,0. university furnish the Nebraskan ab solutely no news; others turn in a little, and still others tender a groat er quantity. Tho professors of this latter class have been called "adver tisers" by other Instructors. It is true that they are "advertis ers." but what they do ,ls perfectly legitimate, and any of their colleagues are privileged to follow their exam ples. They are intensely interested In seeing their part of UiIb university advance, as It Bhould. They do not give out nows with advertising as their chief ideas. What they havo pub lished in tho Nobraskan they believe Is for the benefit of tho university as a whole. Tho reason they get space in tho Nebraskan Ib because they send to this office whatever they want printed. If tho other professors would look "after the Interests of the Nebraskan in tho news lino as well as a certain few of their colleagues do, this uni versity would havo a much better paper than It has now. From some professors the Nebraskan is able to secure items of general interest very of ten. From many others, though, this paper secures absolutely- nothing in 'tho -news line. Tho Nebraskan 1b willing to send its reporters (few thtugh they niay bo) around to any University Bulletin January. Thursday, 21 "Old Holdolborg" chorus moots in music room of Temple.

To tho students who are trying to make the Nebraskan a good college paper it seema to bo a bigv injustice to declare that they are partisan to any dopartmont heads or professors. This paper does not cater to any cer tain Instructors, and will fcivo none of them special privileges. Its columns are open equally to all departments of the university for the publication of items of Intel est to the public. If the men who have criticised will only bo fair with tho Nebraskan and themselves they will see where the real cause of all the complaint origi nates. If thoy-believe it navs to ad vertise their work in tho Nebraskan they ought to "got busy" and not criticise tho paper and tho professors who do use its columns frequently. Always remember this: If it pays, udvertiso; don't criticize. SUMMER BASEBALL. Brown university has taken a stand in favor of summer baseball 'for the students. This is certainly a com mendable move, ' Why not change tho rules as Brown has done, and give the poor student at least a chance to earn during va- cation, tho money necessary for col lege expenses? Collego Btudents are allowed to employ tholr skill In other, and In somo cases, far loss elevating pursuits than baseball without being charged with degrading athletics. Baseball Is now so generally recog nized ns a vacation In which to oarn a living that it can be classed with other callings of life. If tho student baseball player can earn nioro of his collego expenses in this way than in working on the farm or any of tho other Jobs open to him during vaca tion, thoro Is no good reason why tho opportunity should bo denied him. It Is high time that this nonsensical rule was abolished. Tho Dally Iowan. University Forum Jan. 19, 1909. Editor Dally Nobraskan: In the Nebraskan for January 15, and again today, you make the state ment that tho proposed society of junior men -Is being "kept down to a c!l(uo," and charge that tho members of this "clique" are tho ones who will benefit by such a society. Allow me to state a few reasons for believing jou are mistaken: First, the society Is not yet organ ized, and I ho committeo (which was authorized by a well-advertised class meeting), has never met. Second. The only plan that has ever been suggested for choosing inembers of the proposed society is by election of the wholo class in rog ular clrtss meeting, which seems to mo to bo "In the open." Third. This year is half gone, and such a society this year will havo only ono semester to organize and do any work. It Is most needed In tho fall, and the reason It should be organized this year Is that tho members may choose their successors. This year's "clique" could not do much political grafting In one semester. Fourth. It lmj a purpaao, and Is not In any way a competitor of the In- nocents. Many juniors come in from other schools, or from outside work, and the class Is leBs united than any ci her In the university. The juniors could have won the football cham pionship if the men could havo been gotten out to practice. Interclass de bates and track meets are being agi tated, the upper classmen are ex pected to supervise the soph-fresh- man scrap. In all these things an active society is needed and could do a great deal to obliterate the frat barb lino in polltios. Fifth. The society If organized at nil, will bo perpetuated by choosing from tho outgoing sophomore class all or part of its members for the next year, the details of thiB selec tion being decided by this year's class, and not by any "clique," if, in deed, such "clique" oxlst outside the editorial page of tho NebraBkan. You may print part, all or none of this letter at your editorial discretion. The writer Ib a junior, was not a faophomoro last year, a barb, and a member of the much-maligned com- mittee on a Junior clasg society. Very truly yours, I. W. D.
