Will there be any such popular dis approval? What set of circumstances exists here that does not hold forth In our neighboring states, where this system in vogue? Why is it that Wisconsin, that state in the union most jealous of the rights of its citi zens, and recently the scene of a strenuous Investigation of the manage ment of ita university, has this tax without question from the people? Will the university authorities be ashamed to compare our Incidental fee of $3.00 plus the Single Tax of $6.00 with the incidental fee of $10.00 at Kansas? Probably there was a time when the extreme individualists so controlled the state as to make a matter of this sort impossible. It is likely that the memory of those days haunts all men now In public office who would be pro gressive. But the time is now here when the university need no longer fear the penury of the state to so marked a degree. There is no legis lator In Nebraska who would attack the Tax when shown that under the present system practically all receive the benefits without paying, that those who cannot pay will be excused, that the system prevails in other states, and that the university, and the state that supports it, are to a certain extent Judged by the character of its student life. Again we ask, what is there pecul iar to the. state of Nebraska which makes this progressive step impos sible? FORUM To the Editor of The Daily Nebras kan: There is a growing tendency In the faculty of the university to schedule classes and laboratory per iods on Tuesdays and Thursday, at If your Eyes bother any way you in If you do not see well naturally If Headaches impair your effi ciency or Interfere with your pleasures ; If you do not enjoy every minute of your reading LET US HELP YOU HALLETT ..' Optometrist Estb. '1871 1143 0 11 o'clock, the hour when the student has the opportunity, at convocation. to get much of the cultural education that the university should bring to him. This tendency, it seems to the writ tr, is an evil one, and should be ourbod. It is to be seriously doubted whether the single hour that the fac u.iy member appropriates for his pet class will do the student as much good, or open to him so wide a field of thought, as the Bame hour devoted to the convocation period. The writer knows of several students, deeply In terested in the finer type of music, toping to enrich their lives by the cultural enjoyment that comes from the appreciation of the best, who have been forced to miss the musical con vocations that have won so much fa vor, on account of conflicting class schedules. Surely this is unjust and unfair. It is, of course, not to be disputed that the university professor's class reriods are full as it is, that it is hard to find a time for a one-hour rourse that will not conflict with other courses, that the laboratories are crowded and that all the possible time should be used. It Beems lo the wr'fer, nevertheless, that at least two periods out of the forty-four or forty- nine available during the week, could be devoted to a convocation period without discrimination against any of the students. It is too late to do anything this semester, of course. But cannot there be an expression of opinion through the columns of The Daily Nebraska!). in Ihe way of Forum articles written by students who have similar thoughts on the subject, that will at least convince- the university authorities that the convocation period should be kept open?

The following clipping from the Ord Quia of laf t week shows that some of the editors of the state are aware of Its existence, and makes complimentary mention of both the magazine and one of its articles in which the editor of the Quiz was especially Interested: "This office is in receipt of the Jan uary issue of the Mid-West Quarterly, a magazine published in New York, but owned, controlled and .gotten up by the University of Nebraska As its name indicates, it is a publica tion devoted to the interests of the mid-west and the matter in Its is largely furnished by writers in this section of the country. The number before us contains several articles written by members of the university faculty and other Nebraska writers. Among them is a very Interesting and instructive contribution under the title, "The Unification of South Amer ica," from the pen of C. E. Perslnger, professor of history In the university. A year or two ago, Professor Per singer spent considerable time in South America investigating the so cial and industrial conditions, and delving into the past history of that country and it was while on that trip that he gathered data and facts which are interestingly and entertainingly set forth In his article in the Quar terly. Professor Perslnger In hiB ar ticle in the Quarterly will amply re pay perusal by anyone interested in the development and progress of that part of the world." OFFICE RIGHTLY NAMED The "Student Activities office" has been rightly named. Yesterday a man wanted to place an ad in The Daily Nebraskan to secure two tick ets for University Night. His offer was one dollar. Before he had the "ad" written up one of the men in the office had procured two tickets and he received the dollar. T. A. Williams intends to underline the word "activity" on the office front door in order te Impress the students with the activities within. FOLLY 'Twas the time when white sweet clover Honeyed the wayside air, And the cat-bird poured forth ness - From a heart that was free glad- from care, The butterfly, bright rover, Pilfered from every flower, And 'twas then, that a midsummer madness Seized on us both for an hour. Vie knew that our kisses were folly, But we gave them Just the same, And pretended to blindfold reason With pretense that all was a game; And, oh! but the hour was Jolly! And, oh! but we were gay! For we followed our hearts for a season With none to say us nay. Constance Rummons, '16. STUDY POISONING University of Washington, March 1. A search for the mysterious source of ptomaine poisoning has begun in the laboratories of the University of Washington under the direction of Dr. John Weinzlrl, head of the de partment of bacteriology. Dr. Weinzlrl and his assistants are trying to discover if the elusive and frequently fatal poisoning is due to the toxin of a bacterial organism or is the result of a complex chemical change in the food substance Itself, brought about by bacteria, something scientists have not yet discovered. . . mm i A.-V vav CP j r v.
