FOOTBALL STARS KICKING
CLAIM THEIR "N" SWEATERS ARE
OF THE WORTHLESS
VARIETY.
THEY GROW BIGGER AND BIGGER
Every Time They're Put on or Taken
Off, They Stretch Out Farther
and Further.
The thirteen men who were award
ed "N" sweaters for work on the grid
Iron this year are beginning to wonder
if the prize was worth the effort. For,
if their statements are to be taken at
par value, the aforesaid sweaters are
about as valuable, useful and comfort
able as a fur overcoat on a midsummer
day or a pair of flannel trousers at a
skating party. This is their tale of
woe
The sweaters have little or no elas
ticity. You can stretch 'em a foot or
so, when you've released your hold,
they'll fall back as limp as a dish rag
just out of the sink. The material is
supposed to be all-wool, it more nearly
resembles burlap, that choice cloth
out of which gunny-sacks are made.
Furthermore, the sleeves are not with
out flaws, such as poor imitations of
good knitting and shapes that closely
resemble that of the old apple tree.
And, to cap the climax, the "N's" are
tied on the breast in such a manner
that one instantly sees a picture of
the kindergarten class taking its first
lesson in sewing. In some of these
"N's" tile difference in the width of
the right and leTt sides is half an
Inch or so, and in others the lines
shoot and twist in an apparent effort
to give a correct reproduction of the
leaning tower of Pisa.
"When I first got mine it fit fairly
well," said one of the "N" men yes
terday. "Hut now every time I put
it on or take it off it grows bigger
and bigger. I'll have to donate it to
Clint Ross or Zack Hornberger pretty
soon.
"Some time ago we hear consider
able talk about sweaters and jerseys
being stolen out of the locker rooms
and worn indiscriminately about the
campus. There won't be any danger
any more. No one would consider it
worth while to take one of these."
Coach Stiehm said yesterday that lie
was becoming rather tired of this
eternal dissatisfaction over the foot
ball sweaters. Last year, he said, he
ordered them of a standard company,
and, when they came, a howl was
raised that they were faulty in sev
eral respects. Tills year, says the
coach, he decided to let the players
take the matter in their own hands.
The sweaters were ordered of the
same Ann, and at the same price. Now
the recipients are kicking again. "Oh
well," yawns Mr. Stiehm, "what's the
use?"

REGISTRAR SENDS OUT HIS
NEW SEMESTER BULLETIN
No Stated Time is Given for Eyamin-
ations Although Allowance
Is Made for Grading.
The bulletin giving the official state
ment as to the coming examinations
was sent from the office of the Regis
trar January 9th. to the officers of in
struction of the campus. The bulle
tin states the facts concerning the
examinations and registration for the
next semester.
No stated period of time is desig
nated for the giving of the final exam
inations for the semester, the exam
ination If held will be given at the
discretion of the instructor and during
I he regular class period. The Chan
cellor announced that the instructors
who find need of more time in prepar
ing and handing in their reports be
fore the beginning may dismiss their
classes the last two days of the sem
ester, Jan. 29 and 30th.
Registration for the second semes
ter will begin on Wednesday Jan. 28th.
and hold until Saturday Mat. inclusive.
All classes will meet regularly dur
ing the registration except on the last
two days, this being left with the in
structor. The class work for the sec
ond semester will begin Monday Feb.
2nd.
This new will no doubt be received
with great joy by the exam loving
stude, who has anticipated this an
nouncement ever since the return to
the grind after the lvolidays. With
the time of the exams made a cer
tainty the one seeking learning may
devote all his time to the pursuit of
the desired knowledge and waste none
of the valuable moments in worry as
to the time of the supreme tests. The
campus is bare of the usual fusser ex
cept for a few who belong in the "con
firmed' class, and even those are ex
pected to cast aside all social duties
in the near future and battle with the
problem of becoming competent to re
main in college. The campus will pre
sent dreary sight for the weeks be
tween now and the beginning of the
new semester.
STUDENTS DRAW GOOD CROWD
Talks by Smith and Prince of Polit
ical Economy Department At
tract Interest.
The announcements that tNVO stu
dents would speak, drew a fair sized
croNvd to convocation yesterday morn
ing. II. A. Prince and R. A. Smith, of
the political economy department,
spoke on the tariff law. They gave
a concise account of the workings of
the tariff laNv, and placed emphasis
on the manner in which it will affect
Nebraska. Also they pointed out its
advantages over the Payne-Aldrlch
tariff which It supersedes.
The attention and interest evinced
by the- students seems to Nvarrant the
further trial of the experiment. In
following this up discussions of the
currency bill and the press question
will be up for a student airing.
SENIOR HOP TO BE HELD IN
SPITE OF FINANCIAL STRAITS
Dr. Maxey at Last Backs Up the
Senior Class Bonds Which Are
Not All Paid For.
When the senior hop committee
started out to make the necessary
arrangements for the dance they were
met by Auditor Tuckerman who in
formed them that no dance could be
given by the class until the receipts
for the old debts of the class were in
his ofllce. The bonds that were au
thorized by the class and Issued at
the direction of'the flnace committee
were all subscribed for before the hol
idays, but the money (hat tliey were
to biing was not all collected.
Had this money been in, the old ob
ligations could have been met and
the committee would have had easy
sailing, but sadly, such was not the
cuse and the committee was stag
gered by the problem of how to get
ready to give; a big dance without
any financial recourse. In order to
overcome this handicap they were in
formed by Professor Tuckerman that
it would be necessary for them to get
1 some person to go on the security of
1 the outstanding bond money to make
I certain that the money would be used
I to defray the old debts.
The person who came to the rescue
of the committee in their trouble wa-
none other than Dr. Maxey. The
senior hop will therefore be the work
of the committee ably aided by the
doctor.
The hop will he given in the new
ball room of the Lindell and the prom
ise is that the dance will be one of
the best of the year. The plans are
'omplete and the arrangements are
finished, with the committee promis
ing the dancers the beBt treat of the
ear under the "new rules."
SUFFRAGETTES RALLY AT
BIG MEETING IN TEMPLE
University Girls Present to Hear Ad
dress of Gertrude O'Reilley of Dublin
Rumors of Campus Society.
Gertrude O'Reilley of Dublin, Ire
land, spoke In the Temple theatre
last night, by invitation of the Lin
coln Equal Franchise league. A num
ber of university girls who have been
interesting themselves in the question
of women's rights and an equal suf
frage league on the campus, made it a
point to be present. The address Nvas
advertised on the campus by the
younger suffragettes, and quite a num
ber of girls responded?
Miss O'Reilley, wearing the dress
of Ireland's women from the sixth to
the fifteenth century typifying the
years of women's freedom In that coun
try spoke briefly on all the prin
cipal points which are advanced for
and against women's Buffrage.
Rumors of a campus branch of the
Lincoln league have met with no def
finite response as yet. However, the
girls who attended the meeting were
prone to the belief that a society
Nvould blossom very soon.
University Men All
Over Country Criticise
i ShouIdWorry" Phrase
The "I should worry" phrase, when
first introduced, was used in a more
or less Jesting mauer as a reply to
something rather Indifferently regard
ed, but recently tills Idea has become
so manifest In some of the education
al institutions thruout the country that
it Nvas made the subject of a serious
address, by a principle of a secondary
school, to the parents of the parents
of the children in his care.
When the speculator loses a small
fortune he says, "I should worry."
and when the student gets a low grade
in his studies he also uses this phraso
much too frequently, when there really
Is ncesslty for worrying. Such was
the gist of his address.
The need of the semester is rapidly
drawing nigh and the student body of
Nebraska could well profit by this
warning of the contagion to which
even they are no immune- and avoid
the " 'I don't worry worry' sentiment
growing so universally characteristic
of the Amercian people."
