What tho NB BRASKAN would advocate Is to turn this cntirply over to the student coun cil, But for tho present wo are satis fied with tho committee which man aged tho - recent University Night. Thoy wore not unfair, they wore not guilty .of favoritism, thoy were ofrtclont. What more could you ask? Wo aro afraid, after Investigating tho facts, that "T.

AN UNWARRANTED CRITICI8M In an article signed "An Engineer, T .W.,". tho University Night commit tee is unfairly criticised and unjustly ,accuBed. Tho nub of tho whole Is UhlB: (1) Thero wero too fow organi zation represented to mako up a true all-Unlvoralty Night; (2) Several or ganizations wero refused tho right .to participate; (3) Tho committee should be appointed by tho class presidents, not the Y. M. C. A. These aro tho causes for complaint. In presenting his argument, "T. W." did got hesi tate to accuse tho committee of unfair nose, of favorltlam, of Incompetency. Let ub seo what aro tho grounds for ""complaint .University Night can of necessity And still the ornhuskor football team is without a captajn.

One of tho moBt surprising plants that was seen by! Dr. Bessey was a prickly Jiackberry tree. Practically ail plants growing on tho desert are prickly. Over 90 per cent of tho plants is water. It is romarkable where tho plants get so much water whore there Is so little rainfall. Although Dr. Bessey studied most of tho time, ho was called on to give Beveral addresses before the univer sity students of Arizona.

Tho committoo issued an open invitation, oven an exhortation, to all organizations to submit to tihom written sketches of proposed acts. Many, including tho onglnoera, turned in their sketches. But thoro wore many moro than could be used. Tho only things that could bo done was to accept the best, and refuse tho reBt. This Is exactly what tho committee did. All could not bo accommodated.

Tho on glneers didn't get busy, Tho College of Agriculture started to work much later, but they presented, in thot opin ion of tho committee, a bettor act than did tho engineers.

Three or four members of each class whose gradoB aro the highest in their -respective classes are selected and their names are read off at n goneral as sembly of tho students and faculty of tho University. The program may be more closely compared with our grad uating exorcises. The faculty wear their caps and gowns at those exer cises. As Dr. Bessey stated, they do things up right on this day.
