working oyer the question in detail
during tho summer. The lack of this
time worked a hardship with the Ne
braska dobaters this year, tho squad
and tho team Itself being chosen very
late in tho year. Tho .Minnesota and
Iowa teams wero both picked laBt
spring and Iowa had far the head
start vof any school in the loaguo by
vlrtuo of having threshed over the
quostion tho procodlng year in her
three strong dobatlng societies. Tho
question after boing worked ovor thor
oughly in Iowa was shbmittod to the
schools of tho loaguo and was chosen
as the subject for tho series of inter
collegiate dpbateB.
Tho results of the debates just held
show somo curious facts. Both Ne
braska and Wisconsin lost both do-
bates, losing to Illinois at Madison
and to Minnesota at Minneapolis.
While Nebraska lost in each case by
a split vordlct, Wisconsin lost at home
by a unanimous vote.

for New Tune.
It is earnestly hoped that every uni

vacation, devote some time to framiag
up a new varsity song. ' '
The University of Nebraska, as we
all realize, is lacking in aot having a
goqd varsity song one that Is orig
inal and in harmony with the growing
Corahusker state and the CornhuSker
institution. The song which now pur
ports to be our varsity song- is r-adt
ours at all but ode takea from another
Institution wlth.but very few phanges
here and thore.t That oar university
must do this is a deplorable thing in
deed. We have the. talent and thero
Is no reason whatsoever why -wo
should be behind other institutions in
this' respect
In order that a song he chosen this
college year it becomes necessary
that all songs be handed la to the'
Song Committee, Station A, net later
thaa February 1, 1?10."
