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. An easy article to sell when
demonstrated. Men who make good
during spring vacation will handle
men this summer. For interview,
phone B-2615, between 9 and 1 and
ask for C. R. 116-117.

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. B. E. Moore, of the
physics department, will speak on the
"Problems of the Spectroscope." By

May cost a mint of money
Or make one skip a class.

One little hand of poker,
Another hand quite pale,
May make a genial joker
Write home to dad for kale.
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. This
event will follow a review, and the
cadets will eat in uniform, one com
pany to a table, in the Armory. In
order that the event will be a suc
cess, each man is requested to do his
part, primarily by attendance, of
course. No men are expected to be
excused, and the companies will be
marched to their places in the Ar
mory. An orchestra and some good
live speakers are planned, as well as
plenty to eat. Here's to the spirit of
the Nebraska Regiment.

WHAT IS AN OMEN?
"An 'omen' is a nut with a soft
shell," according to a brilliant student
in English literature. If that's the
case .this university is an uncomfort
able place for superstitious people,
isn't it?

TIME FLIES
Why how old I've- got to be,
Feel as if I was fifty;
Came back to the U. of N.
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.
