Tho doublo-hoador basket ball gamo to bo played in tho Armory this after noon will dotormlno tho championship in tho aortas of games that is now being played by tho different classes in tho university. Tho timo of tho game lias boon arranged with tho special object in view of making it bo that no students can complain that tho timo of tho gamo is such that ho cannot nttond. Not only should class spirit induco ovoryono to attend but tho financial support of each class is needed to mako tho affair n sue- COBS. Tho action of tho senate in tighten ing tho requirements of unclasslllcd students Is an action that Is no moro than fair, to tho rest of tho students of tho school. That tho university Is not a. placo to tako one long holiday is a thing that It Is sometimes neces sary to drive homo to students rathor forcibly. There Is undoubtedly a groat doal of good dono by the easy require ments which, permit Bomo students to attend tho university when their U4I0. TwoSroms 1415,0. previous work has been such that thoy aro not qualified to tako any reg ular work. Thero is an indication, however, that something is wrong whon as many students attempt to reglstor for unclassified work as lias been the case during tho past yoar. CARE (8 NEEDED. No idea moro injurious to tho good of the. school could woll bo circulated than that the professors of thlB uni versity aro engagod in a wholesale lobbying schom'o among tho members of the stato, legislature Such an idea thas found root and has been developed in somo enterprising quarters into a .good sized scandal., , The work that tho, legislature Is do ing Ib of such a nature that it is of very great lntores't not onlyto uni versity professoros but to students as well, and it; would bo a very strange .state of. affairs if the fa'ces of many university men woro not familiar about the stato house. Tho faqt that menhave occasion, to appear before different committees frequently and !hayo business that takes them to the capltol is no Indication that they aro engaged iri'anythlng that Is improper, Tho Dafly Nobraskan has insisted. limp and again that tho, university. la ,not getting a "square dqarvfrom the Dr. H. B. Ward TEMPLE THEATRE 5:00 P.M. this last story has been spread is but another illustration of this fact. If tboBo who aro responsible for tho printing of university news would use a Uttlo moro caro In ascertaining the truth, they would find that tho uni versity is not engaged in any groat and corrupt schemes and that tbo only desire of those university men who aro interesting themsolves in tho work of tho loglBlatura is to promoto tho good of the stato both directly and by improving its educational systom. CLA88 POLITIC8 AGAIN. When tho oloctlon of officers in ono of the upper classes is not able to creato enough Interest to get out moro than a moro handful of students and when tho election of officers is treatod ns Jittlo more than a Joke both by thoso taking part In tho election and thoso who aro elected to offlco there Is something radically wrong. It ought to bo ono of tho highest "honors to be chosen as ono of tho officers la a class, but this Is cortainly far from tho condition at tho present timo. The question that at onco arises is that anyone's mind Is what 1b tho cause of this stato of affairs. It cer tainly is not duo to the fact that thero is a lack of ambition among stu dents at tho university. A Uttlo inves tigation will rovoal tho fact that It is tho same thing In a modified form that keops tho best citizens out of local politics, that Is tho trouble in tho uni versity. When an offlco goes not to thoso whoso work has boen of tho highest grado but to those who Jiavo tho time to make a porsonal canvas among all tholr friends and tholr friends' friends 'and who aro willing to pull overy Btrlng that thoy can 8prlng Is the time for New Suits.

WHY PAY MORE? think of for their own ends It is not to bo expected that tho men with the highest ideals and tho greatest abil ities will be chosen. Tho solution of the trouble, If ono can talk of solving a difficulty that is more tho result of mental view point rather than nny temporary Kauso, Is the same solution that is Ladvocated for tho reform of municipal and state politics; namely, to get the best men actively interested in class affairs so that thoy will tako tho timo to attend class meetings. If it were posslblo to do this the.ro would need bo. no moro talk about class spirit and no moro, begging to. got the class out to meetings and interested in tho various interclass evonts. ROOTERS!
