ttHfc DAILY NEBfcASKAtt .1 Hi tm ' Presbyterian Bible Study Courses are Now on Schedule Guess There "Aint Gonna Be No Quittin Time" For Straw Hats Coincident with the starting of uni versity student Bible cIubbcs, a num ber of courses of interest are being arranged by the different churches of the city. Rev. Dean R. Leland, the student ipastor of tho Presbyterian churches, has compiled a number of courses, out of which the following have been selected as offering most interest. They go Into effect as soon as the class organization, broken up by the vacation period, is started: First Presbyterian Church, Thir teenth and M streets University Stu dents Guild meets in the chapel at 12 noon, offering the following courses of study For university men, a study during the first semester of the ex pansion of Christianity in the nlne- teenth century. Followed during the second semester by a study of the mod ern church and the social awakening.

September tho 1st has vanished into the Infinity of time long, long ago, and yet well, we hate to say it, but there's quite a scattering of once-glorious atraws about the cam pus. Perhaps an early frost will drive them back to the top shelp, though, before New York tacticB are employed. First Girls' Club Party. University girls, those who have al ready gained that title by previous years in the school, are to act as host esses to the freshmen girls at the first Girls' Club party, Saturday, Septem ber 27. The party will be held In the Temple at the hour of 3, and will be the first of tho parties, picnics, and plain feeds held under the auspices of the club during the year. The Silly Season. The summer has won the name of "silly season" among Journalists. Then it is that a maximum of folly finds its way Into print. The past summer has, however, been put to profitable ubcs by two Chicago newspapers The edi tor of the "Record-Herald" has conduct ed a symposium upon the best way of reporting baseball.' "TTe41aH publlBluTr in parallel columns, extremely Blangy and what he calls "less boisterous" accounts of the same games, and has called for opinions. Quite naturally one finds the baseball professionals praltjing "straight English," and the professors of English composition pleading for picturesque, colorful Btyle. Out of 3,930 ballots, 2,004 declared in favor of "dictfotrary English." Of course there is some Blang in the best dictionaries, and no one would want to read baseball news that sounded like an obituary notice; but the Chi cago fans would apparently like to see some reasonable restraint in their fa vorite pabulum, and advocate the coin ing of fewer nicknames for the play ers. The best newspapers long ago gave up the more grotesque kind of sporting "literature." To our taste, the imagination of Mr. Grantland Rice fills the bill. "If it isn't clear, it isn't French," runs the proverb. Likewise, "If It isn't, understandable, it isn't ball." Yet we agree with the University of Chicago professor who protests against tho dictionary ideal: "It would be I pretty tame, reporting baseball with out slang " Collier's. THE DAILY NEBRASKAN .
