are not JiiBt rtB deserving of support
as any other branch of athletics.
At the present time there ,1b no
athletic field for either tho men or
the women and now Is the natural
tlmo for some new arrangement to be
started. With all plans for the new
field as yet only partly formulated It
should bo poHslble for some arrange
ment to be made that would be satis
fying to all people concerned.
At many other state unlvorsltles the
provision for exercise on the part of
both tho men and the women Is much
more extensive than at the University
of Nebraska. At the University of
California they are now trying to get
a new Held, for the exeluslveuBO of
thoBe who are no.t members of any
of the regular university teams. Such
an Idea Is not possible nt Nebraska,
because of a lack of the necessary
fundB, but the best possible accomo
dation of all interests can be kept In
mind In tho arrangement of the new
Hold. ' ' ..

For tho llrBt time In tho history of
tho Comhusker the whole of tho edi
tion haB been sold and the demand
has exceeded tho supply. This cer
tainly lookB well for the Increasing
school spirit at Nebraska and It Is to
be hoped that it Is duo to something
deeper than merely temporary causes.
The convocation this morning will
bo tho last of the year and will be
as well, one of tho finest musical pro
grams that has been offered. An un
UHually largo number of musicians
will take part In it and the nature of
the selections Is such that they are
peculiarly Impressive. If the pro
gram were to bo given in the o veil
ing and a largo admission fee charged,
tho capacity of tho chapel would be
taxed to accomodate the crowd. Ne
braska students will do well to show
their appreciation of tho effort that
has been made in preparation of this
program by making this last convo
cation the best attended of the yoar.
The university has received a unlqUe
Invitation from .Mr. .Morton to visit
Arbor Lodge and be his guests for
the day of June 5th. This is the first
time that the university body has re
ceived such an invitation from a Ne
braska citizen and it should- be ac
cepted by the university body in tho
spirit In which it is given. Tho cost
of making the trip will be but slight
and a magnificent outing, will be given
to every student that takes advan
tage of It. A party of eighty must
bo secured and. all those who desire
to go should notify Dean Burnett, A.
A. Reed, or B. Hd Clark' as soon as
possible.
A WORTHY MOVEMENT.
The question of making arrange
ments in tho new athletic Hold for the
accomodation of glrlB' sports 1b now
bolng actively agitated and Is being
pushed by a number of different or
ganizations. It has received the sup
port of thpse In charge of physical
education Tor women and both Man
ager Balg'Sr and Doctor Clapp have ex
pressed themselves as favorable to
tho movement. With such support as
this tho movement ought to be success
ful In accomplishing Us object and
should result Jn i real benefit to tho
different, branches of athletics in
which tho girls of' the university are
interested.
There is no doubt but that the move
ment is one that deserves the fujlest"
measure" of success, No adequate pro
vision 'has ever been made in tho pas
for the ! accomodating of girls' sports
A NEW FELONY.
Nebraska has felt tho gentle long
ing, to break forth with song with the
advent of the warm spring days, but
it has remained for Wisconsin to de
velop the fever to the point that re
quires legislative action. The tor
tures of the drowsy ones who find
thoir slumbers Interrupted by the
bursts of song that lloat on the still
night air have grown so acute at. Wis
consin that the Daily Cardinal has
protested in a lengthy editorial. The
editorial is in part quoted below:
"It Is becoming the custom for par
ties strolling home at half past mid
night to lift up their voices in the ex
huberance of that spring feeling and
attempt to sing.
"The attempt has only moderate suc
cess. Tno objection is not so much to
tho wny they sing as to the things
they sing. Thero Is a certain layek of
variety in the selections. Every bunch
every night sings the-same old chost
mitB with the lnevltablehess of fnte.
If they sang things that were positive
ly antique It wouldn't be so bad.
We might stand for the .Merry Widow
waltz song and After tho Ball and
the Last Link is Broken; such hava
a certain historic Interest. What they
do, sing are songs that have been over
used just enough to produce the maxi
mum psychic irritation possible to hu
man mentality.
"It Is susceptible of statistical dem
onstration that "I Wonder Who's Kiss
ing" Her Now," has been sung 7,8(12
times along State street in the last
two weeks. We have heard "Jungle
Town" exactly 6,789 times and "Cud
dle Vt a Little Closer," U a, eloyo
.third.
"Something drastic must .be enacted
to avoid violence bolng done one of
these nights by a pajama-clad mob.
The legislature Is taking an embarras
sing interest In student affairs just
now. Wo suggest as an Immediate
necessity that they make "Jungle
Town" a misdemeanor; "I Wonder
Who's Kissing Her Now," a felony and
"Honest Little Girl I Am Strong For
You," a capital offenso. .
