HEAR YE, FRESHMEN It is the custom at the University of Nebraska that each and every member of the freshman class wear a green cap. The purpose of this decree of custom is to enable the members of the first-year class to more easily become acquainted, and to recognize each other in the Olympic fight by acquaintance rather than by markings. Such a whim of fashion develops a certain common familiarity among the members of the class, which wi'l generate a class spirit more lasting and binding than could be proJuced by the slower and less sure method of casual meeting. Tne proper way for each freshman to display class and school spirit I) to betake himself to the Armstrong haberdashery forthwith and there secure the verdant top-piece that WtTi become him with all necessary grace at 50 cents the haberdash.
