UN8ANITARY CONDITIONS.
Thero is a crying need for Im
provement In certain phnsoB of tho
'Banlthry conditions nt tho University
of Nobroaka. This is not a mattor
which will requiro moro monoy from
a soroly troublod legislature but ono
thnt requires moro caro from thoBo
in chargo of tho buildings on tho
campus. Not only in tho gymnasium,
'whoro of course such conditions nro
most notlceablo, but In air tho differ
ent buildingB of tho enmpus tho un
sanitary conditions nro strikingly
noticeable. '
It is not an expensive proposition
to. seo that clean towels aro at -all
times provided for tho uso of stu
dents. It la'ono of the little things
bo far as material cost Ib considered,
but ono of tho big things so far aa
the convenience and safety of tho
studont8'lB concerned. By a student
- especially Interested In the question
of proper sanitation, It was obsorved
:tb.at ono, towel which was used by a
"largo number of students overy day
'was changed only twice a wook in
-spite of tho fact that at tho end of
ono day ltr becamo so dirty that It
'wag not lit for further use. T,hero
may bo'cuuso for poor buildings but
thero can. be no Just oxcuso for un
cleanliness, .

there is every chauco for dirt to ac
cumulate, clean and wholoBomo . This"
Jb a. big handicap, but it Ib certainly
putting it mildly to say that the
lockor rooms aud shower batliB In tho
gymnasium nro, not as cloan as they
could bo kept with roaBonablo enro.
It can hardly be asking too much to
say that tho greatest caro should be
exorcised to keep such places as this
porfectly clean nnd wholesome.
A recpnt editorial In tho Dally Card
inal of tho University of Wisconsin
shows that such conditions as the
student finds at Nebraska nro not
limited to'Nebraska alono. The Dally
Cardinal bemoans,, tho fact thnt clenn
towels hnvo not beon provided in the
gymnasium slnco- tho prehistoric
ngea, In tho following paragraph,
which appeared in the editorial col
umn: "There is a lot of room for Im
provement In tho towel system. Two
years back wo woro mulcted nn addi
tional dollar fco for tho laudnblo pur
poBO of ondowlng a system of towol
wushlng. The Idea had raro theoretic
beauty, 'but Its practical working was
marred by tho fact that tho towol
room wiib only oponod on raro his
toric occasions Hko tho tomb of
Chajlemngno. This led to Dallas

syBtem in Studont Conference. We
woro assured, then, that thta year
would inaugurate a now regime, that
would put clean towels within the
reach of tho Plain People1."
It cannot be" that there 1b any
thing nbout tho collogo atmosphere
that makes tho studont ma.ro tolerant
of unsanitary-conditions than pooplo
in other walks of llfo. Tho unlvorslty

A NEW PLAN.
Tho University of Washington has
recently hit upon a schomo which Is
.novel In tho-extreme and yet ono
which should have a powerful In
fluence for good, when so modified ob
to bo applicable to conditions at No
braaka. Tho plan 1b devised to cro
nto grcator intcroBt on tho part of tho
alumni In university events and to
bring moro support to the aid of ath
lotlcs. Tho plan as it Ib being worked
Jn tho University of Washington' is'
described as follows In tho columns
of tho Dally Wave: ..
"Ono of those steps which should
hnvo beon taken long ago, and one
which, makes us marvol that It re
mained unthbught of so long, is tho
plan, of tho board of control to soil
tickets to alumni for $5, vhlch shall
entitle them to ono yenr'H subscrip
tion to Tho Dally Wave and to admis
sion to all athletic contests, debates
atid inuslcnl affairs for ono" ydar, Tho
originators of the Idea' feel confident
that between now and tho opening
of collogo next fall tho general man
ager will bo able to dispose of 300
such tickets, thus giving tho student

body $l,r00 In Its treasury with which
to begin tho collogo year.
"Ab a llnnncfnl project tho plan
seems good. But ns n stimulus to
a more nbundant and abiding college
spirit it is better.' With 300 alumni
rending tho dally hnppenlngs of the
campus and In constant attendance
on all the contests, groat impetus will
bo given student, affairs. Not that
the graduates are not now boosting
strongly, becnuso they are. But un
der tho now syBtom thoy will mako
things hum."
Such a plan ns tho ono described
nbovo could not bo put In forco ex
cept In Lincoln, as alumni living at
other placefl than thlB city would not
care to pay for tho studont evonts
tnklng placo here. Thoro seemB to bo
no reuBon, however, why some such
a plan as this could not bo put In
operation among the student body of
tho unlvorslty.
The grout thing to bo desired nt
this, .as at all other universities, is
to unify university activities and uni
versity feeling. Such a plan as thlB
would effectually accompllBh this.
Under tho pprosont system somo stu
dents support ono event and Bomo
another. Under this plan all would
roceivo support and tho financial
burden upon tho studont would bo re
duced to tho very minimum.
Conditions jit Nebraska are not and
hive not been all that could bo de
sired and- tho above plan is suggest
ed merely that It may bo discussed
with tho possibility that Bomethlng
good may grow out of it.
