'Wo do not wlBh to enforco what are really only ordinary conventions of society by menns of penalties and withdrawals of privilege. There have boon several minor violations of the rules roportod to us which wo havo overlooked when we assured oursolvoB that tho mlBtako was duo to mero ig norance or carelessness.

Some Infractions. "During tho past fow wooks thoro havo. been several Infractions of the above mentioned university rulings. Those havo Boomed to occur through thoughtless nogllgonco and havo not been regurded as serious, but taken in tho aggregate It now appears ovl dont that they aro expressions of tho failure op, tho. part 6t many students to rooqgnlzo tho Blgnlflcanco of such acts. "It has seemed wise to tho univer sity authorities to formulate certain rulings for tho guldanco of its student organizations, which, as recognized parts of tho univoralty body, aro re sponsible to It In proportion as lt 1b responsible for thorn. "The failure on tho part of some of those organizations to comply with univoralty rulings has been a viola tion of university law. - "It is the belief of tho committee that Uicao acts havo boon as before wtatod, tho result, in tho main, of thoughtlessness. Tho roBulta of this thoughtlessness on unlyqrslty law and ordor papnot, however, fall to ho gravely detrimental ,,nd cannot con- tlnuo to be lightly condoned by tho authorities. "The foregoing explanation Is made to you In order that you may bo able to thoughtfully and Intelligently co operate with tho university In work ing for Its beat Intoreata. Any failure on your part In the future to comply with university rullngB can only be Interpreted as a wilful disregard of university authority." The letter referred to In tho pre ceding was a short statement of tho rules governing social affairs at the university. These rules limited soclnl functions to Friday and Saturday evenings and limited the time of uni versity parties to 12 p. m. Thoy also contained provisions for official chap crones at university parties and sot tho chancellor's reception as preced ing all other univoralty functions. DRAMATIC CLUB AT OLIVER.

Tho program was In three partH, claaHlfied selections and popular songs being varied by a piano solo and a novel orcheBtrnl stunt. Tho harmony and precision of tone was mnrkod.

A CAUCUS IS A POSSIBILITY Engineers May Decide to Present a United Front to Academics and Laws If They Have Candidate. With four wooks yet remaining bo, foro tho opening of tho second somoa tor nnd a couplo moro boforo tho holding of tho first clasB elections, tho political pot is already beginning to boll In at least ono Instance. Two Bonlors aro already out for tho presi dency of that clasB Tor tho second Bomester and other candldatos are likely. In the throe lower classes no public announcements havo yot been made, but It 1b understood that the nominations will not go uncontested. Tho enrly activity in tho senior class promises a lively campaign be fore tho cloao of Its course. Not in sevornl yourB paBt have tho candi dates mado Btich an oarly start on tholr canvass. Tho men so far an nounced nro W. A. Jones and Jesse Clark, both engineers nnd both of South Omaha. Jones Is a momber of Delta Epsllon and Sigma Tau fratornl ties and or tho Innoconta. Clark la a Kappa Sigma. Ho haa had aovoral committee placea during hlB three years In school. May Have Caucus. Tho candidacy or these two men Is peculiar In several ways. Not the least Interesting feature la tho fact that both aro from tho same town, South Omaha, as well as members of tlio same college Other than this, both men dcclnro thoy havo littlo In common, nsldo from tho presidential bee. Friends add that both nro nonu- lar. Since tho announcements wore mado aomo members of tho engineer ing collego havo suggested that ' a caucus might bo hold nt which tho onglneera should decide which of tho two men thoy would support. In this case a mnss mooting would bo called and the engineering seniors would ballot on Jones and Clark. Tho man receiving tho low vote would bo ex pected to withdraw In fuvor of the leader and tho engineers would give tholr united support to that candi date. Just what effect that move would have on tho comparative , chances of the candidates is not plainly evident. Other Candidates. Whether or not other candidates aro likely to spring up in tho fourth yonr class Is not yot known. It Is pointed out that tho laws and academics aro oxtromely unlikely to willingly allow tho engineers to havo the pio all to themselves. A wcll-knowij lit student might be ablo to make a good run, especially In case tho engineers should not hold caucus, is tho opinion of Bomo soniors, In tho other clnsses ovorythlng is quiet as yet. Tho freshmen are said to bo in shapo for a neat little squab ble, but tho Junior and sophomoro of-, flees will probably go without much competition. The sophomores, nftor. their strenuous political efforts last fall will not havo much of a contest, unless tho present outlook changes, es pecially since tho presidency of the dnB8 in tho second semester has little' but tho nanio attached, to it. &ho "Colonial Dames' Scholarship" itthe University of Chicago, yielding annually tho sum of $300, has .been jwauleil to Paul Moser of Chicago, or oxcollonco of work In American history In tho Junior colleges ofthe' university.
