ESTING NUMBERS
HISTORY 0NS0N6S GIVEN
lome of the Numbers Are "Brian the
Brave," "The Girl I Left Behind
Me," "The Last Roe of
Summer," Etc.
An excellent program of Irish folk
songs has been prepared 'by Mrs. Car
rie B. Raymond, director of music.
The following ia the history of the
songs to be sung:
Saint Patrick's Day.. Chorus
Beethoven made a setting of this
popular melody, which was used as
a war-song by the Irish mercenaries
at the- battle of Fontenoy in 1745,
where the Irish brigade turned the
fortunes of the day in favor of the
French for whom they fought ,
Brian the Brave Men's Chorus
Brian Boroimhe, the "Great Mon
ach" of, Ireland, was killed In the bat
tle of Clontarf, after having defeated
the Danes in twenty-five engagements.
Seven centuries later, Thomas Moore,
(who is to Irish folk song much what
Bruns is to Scottish), celebrated
Brian and his great contemporaries in
the stately measures of "Remember
the glories of Brialn the Brave," to
E NEWS OF LAW DANCE
New Gowns Are Expected to Appear
In Spite of the Moderate Price
of the Dance
The Laws are the "class" of the
school, they have the most money;
they wear the best clothes; they rush
the '.'class" women why should they
give a "Hard Time Party?" This is
the sentiment which was expressed
in a petition to the Law "hop" com
mittee yesterday and signed by a num
ber of the prominent attorneys. The
committee has heeded the warning
and the Law "Hop," although costing
only a dollar, will be one of the social
pinnacles of the season. It is even
rumored that a number of the gowns
Planned originally for tne Senior
"prom" will appear for the first time
January 29.
Laws Have First Chance
The tickets will go on sale today
for the Laws only and tomorrow the
remainder of the seventy will be
Placed before the public. A large
number of reservations have been re
quested, which gives promise of a fast
and furious sale.
A Deserved Recreation
"I want a good place to relax after
the series of cram sessions and the
exams," ia the popular talk among the
embryonic councellors. "The smell
and stench of the burning midnight
U will become so foul that it will sa
fer of the infernal regions, and the
br'Eht lights and the fast music will
arve as a glimpse of Paradise."

Mr. Helnzeman has recently return

mately. An interesting speecu .
iu.iv.,. - milar in
tA nn this subject or popular m
v- - , , .. e
teresL Admission is free and all men
are cordially invited.
The following is given as an
explanation for the abandonment
of the Dally Nebraskan election
which was called for today:
To the Student Body:
The NebraBkan originally start-
ed as a private enterprise. The
editors, reporters, business man-
agers were employees of a cor-
poratlon and the paper was man-
aged along the usual Journalistic
lines. This arrangement ulti-
mately became unsatisfactory to
the Regents and the University
purchased the stock of the com-
pany.
The ownership of the paper is
now vested in the Regents, but
it is and always has been their
wish that the students have a
reasonably free hand in its man-
agement. They desire not only
that it reflect student life accu-
rately, but also that the students
who manage it receive training
in Journalism.
The University is not only the
sole owner of the paper, but also
its best subscriber. A very con-
slderable per cent of the reve-
nues of the paper come from the
subscriptions paid by the Re-
gents for copies sent to the high
schools of the state.
When the Regents took over
the paper they delegated to a
mixed board of faculty and stu-
dents full power to manage its af-
fairs. Of course, delegated pow-
ers cannot be re-delegated and
so it is not within the authority
of this board to delegate to the
subscribers the election of editors
and managers. The Publication
Board may, however,
tako a !
ot,0. hoiiAt on the wishes of I
th subscribers and act on the re-
milt it it sees fit. For a number
of years this interesting experl-
ment has been tried out in the
selection of the Nebraskan staff,
and we are now in a position to
sum up the results. The results
have, on the whole, been less sat-
isfactory than the old method.
The naming of a staff is a .mat-
ter requiring expert knowledge.
Many of the subscribers do not
have this expert knowledge and
are sometimes unduly influenced
by acquaintance, social connec-
tions, good fellowship and other
factors. This Is said with no re-
flection on many of the excellent
members of the Btaff who have
been appointed by the board on
the strength of the "election."
At the present time informa-
tion has come to my office which
makes me feel that the best in-
terests of the University will be
served by the board's proceeding
to appoint the Nebraskan staff
without holding the customary
"election," In so far as I am con-
cerned there are no personalities
Involved in the case. It is all a
part of the old question as to
whether "elections" or appoint-
ments produce the best results.
Under the present conditions the
latter seem preferable. The board
is fully at liberty to return to the
old system if after a fair comparl-
son of results the resumption of
appointments without "elections"
does not give satisfactory results
to the subscribers of the paper.

Enrolled in Winter Course
One hundred and forty-eight stu
dents are enrolled in the annual six
weeks' winter course at the School of
Agriculture, which began last Tues
day. This enrollment shows an in
crease of one student over that of
last year.
Zero temperature last night froze
the lake to a depth of several inches
Skaters hailed the change in tempera
ture with delight and as soon as the
weather moderates it ia expected that
the ice fans will flock to the lakes in
great numbers. The cold snap has
revived hope in the hearts of many
that the toboggan slide will soon be
put in shape. Wisconsin Cardinal.

EMPLOYMENT WORK
CHANGE IN LOCATION WILL IN
SURE BETTER WORK
SYSTEM UNDERGOES CHANGE
Positions Do Not Turn Up All at Once
Those Seeking Employment
Should Keep in Touch with
Men In Charge
Several students have made inquir
ies as to what has become of the Em
ployment Bureau, which was formerly
located in the Temple. It still exists.
but its location has been changed to
the office of Student Activities. A
phone has been recently installed,
number B-2597.
Not only has the location been
changed, but the general system Is
also undergoing reconstruction. Dur
ing this process things are bound to
slide. This slump, however, will soon
be counteracted by a marked increase
In positions. In order to insure a
high degree of efficiency In filling po
sitions, the students of the University
must co-operate with the Employment
Bureau. In seeking employment, the
men in charge should be kept In touch
with. Then sooner .or later the posi
tion will be offered. The bureau is
free, both to the employer and to the
applicant, because all expenses are
paid by the University.
