Rein, Harold A. Prince, T. Jean Har
gravo, and Benjamin Harrison (alter
nate), representing Nebraska at Min
neapolis. No Rest for Debaters.
No Thanksgiving vacation was en
joyed by any of the two teams, as the
entire time was taken by work on the
coming contest. Extensive prepara
tions have been made to insure vic
tory for Nebraska if possible, and, at
least, promlso an extremely warm
contest for her opponents. Both
teams have been at work for several
months and the prospects aro bright
for a repetition of last year's victories.
Debate Held In Temple. ,
The home debate will bo hold In
the Temple Theater and" will com
mence promptly at 8 o'clock. Several
special features have been arranged
to rendqr the program interesting.

ductory address and will preside over

lhawill furnish music on the occasion.

rill be 35 cents, reserved, 50 cents.
Mckets may bo obtained at Porter's,
the City Y. Mf C. A. and from David
. Rogers, the business manager for
he event.
The turkey has been consumed,
lessons have been forgotten, and the
satisfied but reluctant students have
returned to starvo and study.
In reply to the over-recurring ques
tion, "Did you have a good tlmo?" the
answer seems to bo uniform, "Vos,
but tho time certainly did fly." To
this answer there is no dissenting
opinion, but "Cheer Up" only two
weeks Intervene botween us and four
teen days of eating, sleeping, and
utter mental relaxation.
Only a handful of familiar faces nro
missing as a result of this brief re
spite, and rumor has it that these
absences aro largoly duo to eye
trouble, financial embarrassment or
general physical debility. Rumor is
indeed charitable, and ofton contra
dicts tho statements of Professor
Engberg, but in this enso rumor hau
a distinct advantage.
The prodigal sons and daughters be
gan to arrive at an oarly hour Sunday
and continued to do sd until tho woo
sma' hours of Monday morning. Tho
atmosphoro of tho oight o'clock
classes was rather sleepy, but a largo
majority of tho students wero present
in body, If not in spirit.
Now that tho difficult roturn to tho
"grind" has been accomplished, books
must bo dusted off, tastes must bo
lowored to tho piano of boarding houso
faro, and determined efforts must bo
mado to withstand tho onslaughts of
tho "Vacuum Committee."

by Govornor Chester H. Aldrlch.
"I could not afford to send my own
chlldron to tho University if wo did

Governor in an open letter upholding
his views of tho caBo,
A storm of talk, pro and con, has
arisen on tho campus .concerning the
fees paid by the studonts hero, espe
cially In tho law, modlcal and en
gineering departments. Tho fees in
these colleges aro tho highest in tho
University, and many of tho young
men and women who would like to
become professional studonts are de
terred from starting suoh an expen-
1 sive courso because oMnck of finances.
The real discussion naturally comes
upon the point that somo one must
pay tho expenses of the professional
students' education, and if tho indi
vidual student does not dd so, the
stato must by means of appropriations.
