The people who are to represent the
University in the University Week
will undoubtedly see the
J-" vo
necessity of refraining from doing any
thing while on the trip that can in
any way reflect upon the school. It
may he proper to do certain things
here that would be out of place for
University representatives visiting a
small town. We need to disillusion
many people over the state as to the
character of University students. Uni
versity Week provides an excellent op
portunity to perform at least a part
of this work.
A DIVIDED CAMPUS
On every hand there seems to be
considerable disappointment over the
new plans for the enlarged campus
which provide that Twelfth street
shall be left open. It is easy to see
that this will result in a division of
the old and new parts, while if this
street was closed we would have one
harmonious, unified campus. Then,
again, there will be considerable an
noying traffic upon this street such as
there is now. The previous plans pro
vided for a central court effect fn the
center of the campus with the build
ings grouped accordingly. Under the
new plans this effect cannot be car
ried out. However, it has not been
definitely decided that the latest plans
will be adopted. The Nebraskan
would like to have expressions of stu
dent sentiment on this subject.
THE FORUM
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
California has Just passed a law
making state elections non-partisan,
that Is no one can run on any republi
can, democratic or progressive tickets
but runs by himself on his own merits.
The need of such a law was well shown
in the last election. One of the chief
arguments for the democrats in this
election was that to elect any but a
Wilson democrat to state office was
"a 6lap In the administration's face,"
this argument was even advanced by
Secretary Hryan. To expect the peo
ple of the state to elect a man for
this reason is unjust for it amounts
to raying vote for this man whether
he Is efficient or' not, whether he Is
straight or crooked, but vote for him
so as to show your confidence in the
president. If the administration needs
such support then it would be better
to take an open vote of confidence-in
the administration. This would be a
more direct and better way for the
president to find his standing and
would not force an incompetent man
on the Btate.
Hut this is not the only reason such
a measure is good. National parties
are organized primarily on national
issues the tariff for instance, and
such other issues as arise affecting the
whole nation like free tolls on the
canal and the shipment of arms. Now
why drag these into state, city and
even ward and school elections? They
do not belong there. They have no
business there. Each of these places
has Its own problems and so let men
be elected on their attitude towards
them, not on their attitude towards
affairs they will not come In contact
with.
I believe such an action would help
make "clean politics," for it would tend
to kill corrupt political machines.
Most of these organizations make their
living In city and state politics as for
Instance Tammany hall and then
from this spread their influence Into
national affairs as far as possible. If
their revenues were cut off most of
them would lose a lot of their influence
and thus we would take a lang step
towards "clean politics."
This system of course has its weak
nesses, but I Deiieve tne merits out
weigh them. In any case it is a
proposition worthy of consideration in
the formation of a new state "consti
tution.

The University Night was a success.
Notwithstanding this fact, there were
at least two utterances which cheap
ened the event. I refer to the ex
pressions "fool" and "bonehead" ap
plied to persons prominently connect
ed with the University.
Nebraska spirit is strong for whole
sale fun, but it resents cheap stuff.
Its dignity, purpose and honor should
not be insulted in this way.

would "head them off," but we re
flected that their (dls) position prob
ably had much to do with their hilari
ous humor and had they been success
ful In securing seats last Tuesday,
they might have been veritable Ches
terfields. It Isn't everyone who has
the inner strength to rise superior to
his environment.
Why wouldn't a burlesque on Uni
versity Night north entrance be a
good stunt? It would appeal to every
one to those in the gallery because
of recent experience and to those be
low, by the realization of what they
had missed. Such a stunt might not
be without its moral and cultural in
fluence. It is sometimes profitable to
most of us "to see oursels as ithers

I was much impressed with the idea
of a "Minerva" mail column in the
Daily Nebraskan which was recently
published. Good, sound, well-founded
advice goes a long way to help decide
vital questions in the lives of all
classes of people, and I feel sure that
a column offering these opportunities
would prove valuable to students of
the University as a source of informa
tion. J. W. II.
Dear Editor:
I noticed in yesterday's Daily Ne
braskan a plea for a Minerva's Mail
column. I unite with the author of
that article in asking for such a col
umn. It would be an educational ad
vantage for many students, and might
furnish reading for others. F. H. N.
University Night
We were there, and enjoyed it, too,
if we did have to wait -an hour at the
entrance reserved for the proletariat.
We had our choice of seats in the
allery, being the fourth one admitted.
Should have been in a half hour earlier
ad those farther out had their way.
hey surely did manifest an amount
of "push" and energy that would de
light any friend of the University had
he force been directed where it would
bring good results, it wasn't just as
comfortable all the time aa it might
have been, waiting never is pleasant,
but the only times our resentment
arose were when some one in the
crowd, but not of us, made scathing
observations concerning the "conduct
of University students." However, it
was u II forgotten when we took our
seat, from which high point of observa
tion we had a birdseye view not only
of the stage, but also of the people in
the parquet and the balcony below.
For once In our life there was no one
above us. The gallery crowd were
evidently good mixers, cordial and
hospitably inclined, for they yelled
their welcome to the comers in the
parquet with right good will, cordially
inviting them to be seated, remove
their wraps and stay awhile. These
in high places observed the perform
ances closely and interpolated com
ments, approvals, suggestions and
other running remarks with childish
frankness and candor, at least, if not
always in accord with good judgment
and the usages of polite society. T's
true we wished at times that someone
