WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1009.
Tho fact that tho third annual con
vention of tho Nebraska atudont volun
teer -was hold In tho unlvorBlty Tom
plo 1b only another proof of tho fact
that tho university Is coming to bo
more generally regarded as tho.contor
of cultural activities within tho. state.
Every effort should most cortalnly bo
mado by thoso In authority, to brjng to
tho university all such conventions
that can possibly hold their meetings
hocc .
During tho last fow weeks n number
of university professors havo spent a
considerable part of their time in
delivering popular addresses through
out tho stato on subjects of vital In-
U4U O. Trio STORES 1415, 0. n the other day, all ...
torest to tho people of the state. TIiIb
is an Indication that the university
is .coming moro and moro to nssurao
its' rightful place in tlio life of the
community. Tho university la tho cen
ter, of higher education in tho stato
of Nebraska and should play an active
part In tho development of tlo thought
of tho stato. When tho university
comes to bo generally rogardod as a
vital part of tho llto of tho stato and
not as merely oxlsting lthin bho
limits of tho state, it will then bo In
a position to mako Itself of tho most
far-reaching benefit to tho state.
HAS NOW BEEN TRIED.
Tho new method of conducting tho
athletlo events of Charter Day has
now been given- a fair trial and the
general verdict seems to bo that tho
substitution of tho frnt-barb moot for
tho athletic events of other years bas.
not been an improvement on tho old
plan and was anything but a success'.
In the first place tho new meet did
not arouso the. interest that was, ox
pectcd The. fraternity meet aroiiBed
keencojnpotltlon and tho sanio was
true oLithe barb meet, but tho kind
of Interest that" makes mdn get out
an$yrork; seemed to bo entirely absent
whttttbo two woro pitted against each
'other: -Anothor 'unfdrtunato feature
5'4frf the meet, was-tho fact that..tho In-
contlvo of winning individual, honors
seemed to bo nlmoBt entiroly lacking.
In ordor that tho fraternities may
bo of tho grsatoBt-vriHio to the school
and in order thai tho objectionable
features of fratornltjlife miiy bo as
nearly as possible, removed it is of
tho umosMmp6ftaHc6' thai IhiTbost of
fooling oxist botweon tho fraternity
mon and tho non-fraternity mon. Any
thing which tends to emphasize the
distinction botween tho two niak6s it
ic'ss iirfoly tfinl this fooling of good
fellowship wfii cbntlnuo (6 oxist, It Is
for this. 'reason that (ho recent moot
is bojioved to bo a stop in tho wrong
direction.
Let as many athletic events bo ar
ranged for lb.6 compoiitloh' of uhiverV
slty mbfi a's is dcdlroil and tho results
cart only bti good. If tho fraternity
mdn wiih to h'6lii d niooLihoro can

criii Iti'orb tio any1 similar objection to
tfio M'iM fioiainga slnillrir' moot
Vfion, hbWdVejjthti dlatlricdon ho

f Mfe New Journalism.
During the last fow years thoro has
boon a great deal of discussion of what
has beori to'rmed "yollow journalism."
Tho oxlBtonco of such stuff has been
doplored by many people and many
papers havo como to boso their claim
to a largo circulation on tho fact that
they are not "yellow." An interesting
discussion of tho question appeared
recently in tho editorial columns of
a prominent paper and the editor took
tho position that tho peoplo did not
desiro, to know tho plain, unvarnished
truth. Tho artlclo Is in part as fol
lows: "Whon tho yellow journalism de
oped, wo heard that it was tho new.
journalism. Now tho professors in
tho east and they are always wise
mon and giving lectures in which
thoy proclaim that the really new
journalism will bo wholly without dec
oratlvo effects. Wo don't believo a
word of it.
"Neither does tho Now York Sun
and, therefore, the truth is spoken.
Just to show tho good people that
thoro will bo nono of this newspaper
production, the Sun glveB a few ex
amples of tho journalism that sticks
to the plain, unvarnished tale.
"Tho Nows-Herald does not believo
thero over will be such newspaper
work dono unless Andrew Carnegie
leaves his fivo hundred millions as an
endowment to keep tho sheet running.
Every person who kills himself has
tho mystery of life and death and

the mystery cannot bo removed.
Every natural phenomenon Is wonder
ful and marvelous and tho average
person does not want any discounting
of tho fonrfUl work of the Lord.
Neither docs any woman reador of a
newspaper want tho truth told about
a society event not while romance,
beauty and youth aro ou earth. Tho
college professors are wrong. Tho
news items of tho future will bo
painted and tho job will bo dono
bettor than It Is dono today."
