MAY 3, 1915.
Nearly two hundred Juniors and
Seniors were interested enough in
the experiment of an itner-class break
fast to arise early enough to catch a
7:30 car for the State FannSa turday
morning. The Juniors provided a
breakfast that could not fail to satisfy
even the discriminating Seniors. It
was pleasant morning lark and every
one seamed to enter into the spirit of
the occasion. This affair deserves to
become an annual event.
ON TIME
The appearance of the 1915 Year
Book on time comes as a pleasant
eurprise to most students. In former
vears the management each time
promised the book for May 1st or May
15th and there was usually a month
of postponed promises and the book
distributed but a few days before the
close of the school. But this year
itrue to their word the editors and
managers! have given us the book on
time. This achievement is worthy of
considerable mention for it required
much extra time and effort.
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
We were certainly astounded by
Mr. Hill's curt refusal to answer Mr.
Kyle's question. The question was a
fair one. put in a fair manner, and de-
eerving a fair answer. Mr. Hill de
fends himself or rather evades the
question altogether in a most in
glorious manner with the comical
plea that his article was "clear." Sad
to say, unsound ideas have far too
often won support by being expound
ed in a "clear" manner, tl is not a
question of clearness at all. It is a
question of right or wrong. One does
not have to agree with Mr. Kyle in
order to take such a position. j
Of course it was very apparent that .
Mr. Kyle's question was a very perti-j
nent one. If "these acts of 'saluting'
or 'standing are indications of patriot- ito e cnosen.
The Girls' Club nominated the fol
lowing for members of the board for
the coming year:

SUNDAY THEATRES
University students seem to be more
or less indifferent about the question
of Sunday theatres. It is most certain
that they have shown no disposition
to indorse the idea. The average stu
dent has his time so occupied now
that the prospect of having still more
places to go can scarcely interest him.
But there are some fundamental
points involved in this the solution of
this question that we as citizens
ought to consider. Aside from the
moral and religious side of the ques
tion which we must admit is worthy
of consideration there is the danger
in this step of moving in the direc
tion of state of society that will not
recognize the value of one day's rest
in seven. From a purely commercial
standpoint anyone knows that a week cffer aj
ism
absolutely no reason why they should
be discontinued after the army and
navy are abolished.- If, on the other
hand, "these acts of 'saluting' or
'standing' are indications of patriot
ism and things for the good'' only
while the army and navy exist, their
"good" is certainly only of ephemeral
value, a mere tribute to pomp and
splendor, and not an indication of
true patriotism as Mr. Hill in his first
article contended. The fallacy in Mr.
Hill's first article seem6 to have been
fairly well exposed.
If Mr. Hill could not answer he
should at least have admitted that
much. let he clings tenaciously to his
argument despite the fact that its
fallacy has ben exposed. All he is
doing in effect is clinging to the
wreckage of his shattered bark, with
the excuse that since it is his, he is
is going to hang on even if he has to
go down, altogether unmindful of the
fact that he knows his position is un
tenable. Tt Is not exactly right that
he should go down with hist ship out
of sheer love for it as long as Mr.
Kyle is standing by valiantly, ready to
with one day of rest is the most
effective. The adoption of this pro
posal may not materially affect the
most of us directly,, but we need con
sider the position of many people to
whom the adoption would mean seven
days work in every week instead of
ix. More than that it is the first step

Mr. Hill closes with this bit of phil
osophy. "However, we might men
tion the fact that sometimes the truth
hurts like everything." Yes indeed!
Perhaps that is why he failed to an
swer, lie first refuses to answer a
question which was raised to deter
mine the "truth" of his argument.
Then in this rather philosophical man
ner he suddenly declares, by way of
intimation, that his argument is the
"truth." hinting that the occasion of
his article is one of those times when
the word "sometimes" is applicable.
We have absolutely no objection to
Mr. Hill becoming a philosopher. Oh
no, go1 ahead! All that we ask is that
Mr. Hill square his evasive conduct
with a study so profound as philos
ophy, if for nothing else, at least to
avoid the appearance of the ludl
crou8.
The question is yet unanswered
dent; the next highest, vice-president;
the Sophomorehaving the highest is
secretary, and the Freshman with the
most votes is treasurer.
Next year the Mid-West Inter-collegiate
Association for Women's Self
Government, of which Genevieve
Lowry is president, meets here the
last of April or the first of May. Be
cause of this fact, a change was made
in the Constitution (Art. 4, Sec. 1) as
follows: Election hereafter to beheld
on the third Friday in April, instead
of the first Thursday in May.
Election will be May 7 in the
Library. All "paid" members are
urged to vote.
