LAWS PROMINENT IN COLLEGE
HOLD IMPORTANT PLACES IN
STUDENT ACTIVITIES.
CLAIM EIGHT 'VARSITY PLAYERS
Lack of Afternoon Classes Enables
Lawyers to Enter University
Contests.
-r-
To a great many people the College
of Law H looked upon aB being a
graduate school, where Rb members
are Interested solely In the pursuit of
their legal studies, maintaining an at
titude of Indifference toward the life
and affalrB of the University. Hut
thlB idea is easily repelled when their
attention Is called to the activity of
law students In the enterprises of the
school and of their general promi
nence in all walks of student life
The fact that law student h are not
confined to afternoon classes or suf
fer the Inconveniences of laboratory
assignments, makes It possible for
them to indulge quite heavily In ath
letics Of the sixteen men recejving
football letters this season, eight of
them were registered In the law col
lege This includes Captain Shonka
In this connection it 1b Interesting to
note that for the past four years the
captain has been a law student. Of
the ten basketball letter men. four
hailed from the law school, while on
tiie baseball squmTTtTPy wi'ie so-titim-erous
as to be in the way.
On account of natural Inclination it
Is not strange that the laws should
compose the majority of the debat
ing squad and team.
On the Daily NebniBkan staff tho
law students can eftalm this year, one
editor, all of the associates, one man
aging editor, and two business man
ager In dramatics both the senior and
junior as well as the Kosmet club
plas were managed by law students.
In addition to several members of tho
college, assuming leading parts.
Of the thirteen numbers of the So
ciety of Innocents, seven are law
students Two of the eight claBB
presidents were law studentH
