Vacation Pleasures Hard to Forget on
the Campus and that "Twango"
Will Up But Remember
Those Finals.
"Gieet ings'" How are you? Did
you have a good time during the holi
days?" These and similar queries were ex
changed on every hand yesterday as
friends met each other about the cam
pus after spending a glorious Christ
mas vacation at home. Everyone had
a heart v welcome for everyone else
and some even had a fairly well pie
pared lesson for their professors. It
was also a noticable fact that, inter

SHOWS LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
Condition of Dr. Clapp Still Serious
Not Able to Resume Duties
for Some Time.
The condition of Dr R G. Clapp is
not iinpioving as fast as his physicians
had expected Since his operation of
about a month ago he has been con
fined to his bed in a Lincoln hospital,
and while his condition is not alarm
ing, he is not mending nearlv as fast
as he ought to It is piobable that he
will not be able to lesuine his duties

weeks, or the quantities of hack work
which was conscientiously intended to
have been completed by the close of
vacation. Yes, one co-ed was heard
to exclaim rather discouragingly,
"Why, do you know, I had two themes
to write and three to revise over the
holidays and T simply haven't touched
a one I don't know when I'll ever
get them in."
No doubt there were good time a
plenty during the two weeks recess
but the dally grind has started again
and it behooves everyone to buckle
down in a strenuous effort to success
fully wind up the semester's work and
start anew with a clean record.
