A dlBpatch has been received from
Minneapolis stating that tho Carnoglo
pension bill for tho University of Min
nesota has passed tho house, and ac
cording to-OYery indication will short

still greater distance will bo placed

between the University of Nebraska
and tho University of Minnesota In
physical equipment unless a similar
bill Ib parsed by the. Nebraska legis
lature or some other measure is taken
to counteract the offect of tho Car
negie pension. There Ib no reason
why the University of Minnesota or
any other western university Bhould
bo allowed to outdistance the Univor
Blty of "Nebraska In tho raco forstandr
irig' In' the central west. Tho people
of Nebraska aro just as intelligent as
the people Of Minnesota, the state la
just as fertile, the people aro just as
prosperous, yet tho Undoubted fact ex
ists that a visitor is not impressed
nB favorably with tho University of
Nebraska as with several qthor si
universities In tho west. This y a,
state 'of affairs that should bocare
fully considered by those whoare In,
a position, to ..havo authority In tho
matter. .
CLASS P0LITIC8.
As is always tho case at tho begin
ning of a now semester, class politics
is absorbing a great deal of tho tlmo
aha attention' of a. largo number of
university students, Thero" is" in fac'i
something about class politics that ap
peals with 'peculiar force to the col
.lege student and no matter how Ijttlo
interest there may be manifested in

groat deal of Keen rivalry when any

Thero aro many admirable features
to claBB politics and their influenco
has u decidedly good offect In college
life. It arouses intorost In studont

bers of a class bettor known.
Thero are on 'tho othor Bide, how
ever, many poBSlbllltloB of harm In
class politics which should bo care
fully watched or tho evils may more
than outweigh, the advantages. Tho
president or a class has a big influ
ence in school, and many activities aro
dependent upon his support for their
oxlstenco. Tho offlco of president or
a university class Bhould thoreforo be
an office to which every studont in
tho class has the right to aBpire and
which should bo bestowed as tho re
ward of tho class for ability and in
terest In university affairs.
Tho formation of cliques which seek
to coutrol for their own boneflt the
offices of tho different classes are
from every viewpoint objectionable
and should not bo toloruted. AlmoBt
as bad 1& tho tendency which often
develops in close contests of resorting
to nothing moro than the tricks that
have brought the everyday polities' of
tho world Into bad repute. Class poll-'
tics can bo one of tho beat influences
in collego life If they nre maintained
In thoir proper sphere, but on the
othor hand they may degenorato into
ono of tho moat demoralizing and
vicious.
A NEW IDEA.
In tho laBt issuo of tho paper of tho
Kansas State Agricultural Collego a
plan Ib outlined which might be a
good thing for Nebraska. The mem-

entertained for a day. by the stiulpntB

phase of student life. The article
outlining tho plan tried at Kansas is
as follows r
"Today Ib pfoba'bly ono of tho days
that will be chronicled in the annals
of K. S. A C. as the most memorable
In her history for tho last decade.
"Never In tho history of this school,
or of any other, as near as we can
learn, has, tho legislative body of the

themselves. Tho whole schome of en
tertainment haa been planned and will
booxecuted by tho student body.
"Possibly somo of our visitors havo
seen the collego on some special oc

of the legislature should seo this

will leave nothing but tho impression
that wo can justify tho claim.

the Institution and its work. Tho stu

Musical Comment
The following article Is printed nt
the request of Mrs. Raymond
"It mny ndd lntoroBt to the render
ing of Dvorak's symphony in convoca
tion Thursday If tho listener under
stands to what extent it is an Amer
ican work and why It is entitled
"From the Now World."
The Bohemian, Anton Dvorak, had
achieved his most successful composi
tions through the use of the folk song
of his own people and when he came
to America in 1892 to take chargo of
tho National Conservatory in Now
York it wns but natural that he should
bellovo that American music, to have
national flavor, should be based upon
American folk song. Tho only people
who produce folk song In this country
are the Indians and tho negroes. The
old plantation melodies of the south
ern negroes ho found extremely orig
innl and interesting and this sym
phony "Ifrom the Now World" Is his
attempt to use their peculiar rythms
and harmonies in classical form.
BOTH STORES
Those who are familiar with tho
old slavo melodies as sung by the
Jubilee Singers, such as "Swing Low.
Sweet Chariot." "Nobody Knows the.
Trubble I See," and so on, will recog
nlzo tho similarity of the themes of
the slow movements of the symphony.
Tho traditional gayoty or tho negro is
woll expressed In tho rythm of tho
last movement, embodying a familiar
type of plantation dance.
While many musicians do not agree
with Dvorak that the typically Amer
ican music will be founded on such
themes, It cannot bo denied that ho
has revealed in this symphony a won
derful sourco of beautiful and original
melody, and Amoricans owo hlhi
muph for embodying them In such a
satisfactory form. Tho symphony Is,
of courgo, written for full orchestra,
and naturally loses In ctolor and va
riety when It Ib played, howovor well,
by a fow Instruments. Nevertheless,
It is a delightful work as glve"n by
this quartet and organ.
