It has now come to pass that the students of the CniverBlty of Nebras ka will have something to consider that will be of great benellt to everv one concerned The question is do we want a better college paper, and do we want our athletics run on a more thorough financial basis? These are the problems that are soon to be soh ed At present all that will be required of the students is to watch tho bul let In boards and to be present at the special convocation next Thursday morning; among other things, it might bo well to watch the Thursday issue of the "Rag" on this very impor tant occasion While tho plan haB not yet been spread broadcast over the campUB, and It has been deemed w iso to wait until Thursday to formally present It, at the same time it might be possible to saj a woid about It here Just to let the students know what it is all about No doubt ever Btudent wants to see a good, live 'Rag," one like the i'nl veisitj of Kansas publishes, or the I'liiveisitj ot Washington, one thai is larger in dimensions than the pres ent orre, and, above all, one that the students will be proud ot There Is no doubt that every student wants to see Nebraska play more of the great universities in football every fall Ac cordingly, the question Is merely this to gain tliese things are the students willing to pay an all unlverslt fee? It's up to j on Adopted by Other Schools. I'pon Investigation It has been found that fourteen universities and seventeen colleges have adopted the "all university fee sjstein,' the fees differing in different schools, range from two to eleven dollars This, it will be understood, entitles the stu dent to all the events throughout the ear that the fee involves '1 hat the faculty, who have studied these conditions, and the senior "'In nocent" society are behind this move merit there can be no doubt and Thursday, at the special convocation the students will bo able to hoar a few worthy opinions expressed on this point The speakers will be Dean Beosey, Coach Stiehm, Anan Raymond and Professor Hunter. For the pride of the I'niversity, and for the future welfare of the students and the alumni, it is urged that every one concerned take thiB matter under consideration and do the thing that all tho other big universities are do ing NOTICE.
