THE SINGLE TAX AND THE PARENTS The factor that many believe to be the chief obstacle in the way of the Single Tax is the attitude of the par ents of university students. This is the element that its enemies are counting on for its ultimate defeat. It is contended that the parents will oppose the fee because the things it buys are a luxury; that they will countenance nothing but what is necessary, and will object to any ef fort on the part of the authorities to select the student's recreation and compel him to pay for it. We cannot believe that the people of Nebraska are so shortsighted. We are willing to show them just what the fee is for, where it prevails, and what the results are, and believe that they will endorse its adoption. In the first place, the Single Tax is not expensive. Take Kansas as an example. Kansas has an incidental fee of $10 each semester, this fee being doubled for non-residents. Ne braska at present has an incidental fee of $3, with a library fee of $1. Add to this the Single Tax and we have a total of $7 a semester. Kan sas is representative of the schools in Nebraska's . class. We believe that the figures will show that with the Single Tax in its-, list Nebraska will be below the average state institution in the matter of the amount of en trance expenses. But granting that the fee might be a slight ftarden, we believe that its merits will win its endorsement at that hands of the people. The people do not want their children to read The Daily Nebraskan over the shoul ders of someone who is paying for it. Nor do they want their children to pay for the paper for someone else to read. They will be convinced by the faculty that student activities are a good thing for the student, and that those who need such work the most are those who are least liable, to take advantage of their opportunities along these lines unless some form of com pulsion is established. And lastly, no true Nebraskan 'will hesitate to ap prove a move which will put Nebras ka student life on a par with that of other universities. No, we are not afraid of what the thinking parent .will Bay about the Single Tax. ' Live, energetic students can make $10 to $50 next week in your home town.

NOW compos MENTIS BUT WE WILLI We wnnt to state that some of thesa people walking around the campus who wear bone-rimmed glasses and eat lemons and vinegar to make them selves pale, needn't think they are going to be P. B. K.'s, because they won't live that long. Some people sure are "crabs," aren't they? . . REPARTEE When a woman nas a "chip on her shoulder" and tells you what she thinks of you at the rate of one hundred and fifty miles an hour, the best way to have some fun is to wait until she runs out .of breath and then smile sweetly and tell her that you Just adore that shade of blue she has on her hat. nichL Trof.

THIS DEFEATS US A freshman asked, the other day, when High School "Feet" day will be! Feet are a very Important article for anyone to have, but our experience has been that a high school pupus head is by far more highly valued and significant than common ordinary feet. CADETS, ATTENTIONI To the "Cadets of the University of Nebraska Regiment: The military department Is plan ning a regimental supper, to take place on April 13, the purpose of which will be to enthuse the men of the regiment as a whole with a great er interest in their military work.

Feeling fine and nifty. Went up to the campus green. Soon as I arrived; Looked around for old-time pals, And, Gee! I was surprised. Scarcely anyone I knew, All so kind of young; Everything was queer and changed. Almost tied my tongue. Went up to a dance that night, Thought I'd hesitate; Then began to look around And saw 'twas my mistake. Awful funny how things change, Mighty kind of queer; I'm an old back number now, I've been at home this year. UNIVERSITY NOTICES Piano Lecture Prof. D. W.
