Would It not bo a good Idon for tho unlvorslty to provide n fow public phonos on tho campiiB for tho use rt students? Tho Nebrnakan ofllco 1b be Bolged constantly by n large number of people who require the use of a phono and yot can get access to none on the campus. . v The development of tho university extension work at Nebraska meanB that Nebraska will tako foremost rank in this as in-other lines of collegiate activity. More than this, however, it means that the university will becom an actlvo militant influence for good among tho people of the state and that the value of its work will bo known and felt by people of all classes as It b bmbmbmbmbmbmbW' bbbW bmbmbmm LLLI LLLB bLbLbH bLbLbh 1J4I.O. Two Stools 1415, 0. is now known only by those who keep in close" touch with the educational work of the state. Tho Nebraskan has been requested by those In charge of the convocation exercises to set aside some place where chapel announcements may bo made in order that tho students may always know exactly where to look 'for them. The Nebraskan believes that chapel should havo more thor ough support from tho studont body, and if such action will in any way help to accomplish this result it will bo glad to fulfill the request of the convocation committee. A block will therefore In the future be placed at the top of tho second and third col umns of the editorial pago In which whatever announcement the convoca tion committee wishes, will be made. INFERIOR TO NONE. To ono who is keoplng In close touch with the work of Nebraska grad- , uates It Is a striking fact that, no jnatter in what line of work they are engaged, nor with what they come In contact, they are a class of men who (' are, making good In tho world and the Ju kind of men that a college has a right if tof be proud of, In engineering work, "f Vam ihn Tnrfli eT n mnn'o nnllniva ! wWoia thn worth of n. itmnA poIIpp'a f,X " "'' " - " - ' - " - , w...0w V training .can . ... . bo more exactly eBtl THE ft' if; 11 Convocation Tuesday,' Feb. 9 Miss Aenone Paston Piano Concert, g Minor Mendelssohn m fl Mrs. Raymohd at Organ muted than in almost any other lino, tho unanimous verdict is that Ne braska graduates are inforior to none and equalled by few. The moaning of this is plain: Tho University of Nebraska is surpassed by few as an institution whore offlci ont, capablo graduatos are turned out. Thoro is a tendenoy at the prosent timo to feel that the outlook 1b dis couraging; tho student hesitates to boldly declare that, for opportunities to do roal work, tho university is sec ond to none. This attitude is suicidal, it is impossible for any institution to make rapid growth with such a feel ing, just as It 1b impossible for a business to succeed when tho em ployees are shlftlesB or careless. Tho University of Nebraska Is in great noed of better physical accom modations, but yot fine buildings nover have and never will make a great unlvorslty and a great student body. Tho students who come from Nebraska homes are as intelligent as any in the world; tho faculty at Ne braska includes among its numbers some 'of the most prominent author ities in tho world and is, as a whole. as fine ub that of any college in the country. These two factors contrib ute in themselves all that is necessary to make tho University of Nebraska ono of tho most efficient in tho coun try. Nebraska needs more buildings and bettor equipment, but when we are tempted to complaint, and declare that the university 1b not what it Bhould be, it Is well to stop and re member that we have something in finitely moro valuable than marble buildings and sohiothing without which marble buildings would bo a mockery.

WHY PAY MORE? PURDUE HA8 TROUBLES. While there has been a great deal of talk at Nebraska about the value of organizations of different kinds, the same difficulties and tho same prob lems are confronting other colleges that are found acre. Tho Purdue LiX ponont recently printed an editorial expressing approval of the fact that organizations wero becoming fewer and fewer in that college. Tho edi torial is as follows: "LaBt year an address which was given in Fowler hall lamented tho fact that there were so many organizations about the campus and that nothing outside of them could elst health fully. The statement was correct, but now It may bo said that tho other ex treme seents to have taken Purdue. There has been tho reaction, and yot tho students have an abundance to do to fill their minds. The most notice able fact has been the practical cessa tion of tho state clubs. Last year and the year preceding the ExpononVvWus filled with notices concerning heet ings of tho various state clubs. Thls year these drganlzatlons have taken a slump, perhaps with tho best results.

An 'enterprising eastern magazino writer 1b interested in a theory lately advanced In certain quarters that plants may have emotion. In an at tempt to discover the majority opinion on the quostion, he has written a num ber of tho leading botanical professors in the country for their opinions on the subject. One of these is Professor Bossey of Nebraska's botanical depart ment. Dr. BesBoy believes that thoro is no doubt but that the plants have the beginnings of sensations and func tions which, when developed highly enough result In mentality, including thoughts and emotions, but he thinks It unlikely that any plant has yet at tained such a development, nor is It likely to do so Blnco the plant tissues are all of too simple a constitution to suggest this possibility. Plants have definite physical sensa tions and they accomplish certain phy sical action because of offects upon these sensations, but it scorns unlikely that mentality is among their posses sions. The mere physical action is not sufficient proof of it. WILL HAVE FINE NEW STADIUM Exposition Managers Requested Struc ture to University. Athletes at the University of Wash ington at Seattle are training steadily for the big track meetB which are to bo hold this-summer on tho campus, Tho mild weather permits out-door training all through the winter and without doubt the athletes will make a very creditable showing in competi tion with the men from eastern schools who aro Invited to enter the numerous contests to be held In the stadium this summer. Tho stadium, which is being- built especially for track events, will bo one of the best on tho coast. It is berng erected by tho officials of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition, and after the fair will revert to tho university Blnco it Is on tho campus of tho university. The meets this summer will bo hold under tho auspices of tho opposition and many attractivo prizes will be offered to tho contestants. Tho expo sition will bo opened on Juno 1st and a schedule of meets will be ar ranged starting from that tlmo. Thoro will bo a wldo quarter mllo track and grounds for baseball, tennis and all Held events for track moots within the stadium and an actlvo summer is expected by tho university students. tlofr University Bulletin February.

The students of Kansas state agri cultural college are planning a day that will be tho most unique of any In the history of the college, In fact, of tho state. The Kansas stato legisla ture has been given an invitation to visit tho great institution here at the expense of the student body. A mass meeting was called and tho big auditorium was crowded to the limit on the .main floor, and tho gal lories were over half filled with stu dents. Never In tho history of tho college has anything of this kind been seen. Nearly two thousand students singing their college song and pledg ing their money, In order that tho leg islative body of the state might find out what Kansas really possesses, was an exhibition of patriotism seldom seen at Kansas. When Cllf Stratton, secretary of tho Student's Promotion committee, asked how many would contribute ono dollar each, the entire assembly Btood up. Somewhere between $800 and $1,000 wbb raised to charter a special train and provide for the oxponses of tho Kansas law 'makers. Tho plan Is to 'charter the train, bring tho legislature hero, havo the domestic science girls glvo them a-blg banquet and make the legislators feel, that they aro the hosts of a large body of students who desire to have their guests Inspect tho col lege arid its work.
