UNIVER8ITY MEN 8PEAK
AT DEMOCRATIC FEAST
All Enthusiastic in Praise of Exhibi
tion, Students and
- University
The following comments on Univer
sity Week were clipped, from news
papers in the towns visited. They tell
their own story:
"To say that each evening is a suc
cess is putting it mildly.. The people
of North Bend are enthusalstic, riot
only over the entertainments, and
their pleasure in these have been
genuine, but just as much so over the
young people themselves who we be
lieve, are representaitlve products of
the university arid are typical of what
is being done for the young men and
women of the state by our great state
.school. The entertainers this week
are being cared for in North Bend
homes and thus our citizens have an
opportunity to meet them on an Inti
mate footing and to make their judg
ments accordingly, On every hand the
Impressions made by these young peo
ple have been highly in their favor.
We are glad to make particular men
tion o( the general fine conduct of the
young students' while they were here
on their week's tour freed from any
restraint except that which they placed
upon themselves."
"R. E. Weaverllng, H. C. Cusack,
and G. E. DeWolf have composed the
local committee whose efforts made it
possible for us to have University
Week and if it is' possible for a town
to enjoy twice the unique pleasure
which has. been ours this week, North
Bend will not hesitate to urge the
committee to brlng.lt to us again an
other year." North Bend Eagle
(March 30).

ichurch which was free to all. When
you stop to consider that the members
of the band are all young boys attend
ing school, their rendition of their
selections was simply wonderful.
"The total receipts up to today are
$383.50 which we are glad to note
puts the week on a good financial
basis." People's Banner (David City,
March 30).
"Each morning this week, the con
vocation period in the high school has
been given oyer to entertainment by'
some of the talent here on the Univer
sity Week programs. On Monday morn
ing Leroy Meisinger of the University
Cadet band, gave Beveral piano solos.
Among them were five extracts from
the opera, "Knights of the Nymphs,"
of his own composition. These num
bers were exceedingly enjoyable. .On
Tuesday morning Prof. M. M. Fpgg,
who was hero with the debaters, gave
a twenty minute talk on "Straight
Thinking.' On Wednesday morning

Miss Ella Williams and Leon Snyder,
two of the university players." But

"Over 300 season tickets were sold
for the week's series and single ad
mission ticket sales have been very
good. On Saturday evening the single

Monday evening $7.40, on Tuesday
evening; $67.80. Every seat inline

has been, taken at each performance."
Butler County Press (David dlty).
"This week hast been one of great
'doings.' The reason of this is that
it has been University Week in David
City, and) those who were 'here a year
ago know what that means.,
"The first number on their program
this season was the University Cadet

PLANS MADE FOR
NEW GREENHOUSE
Palm Garden Will Provide Special
Feature of New Farm
Building
Plans and specifications are being
prepared for a new greenhouse at the
Nebraska State Farm. The plans are
to be submitted at the meeting of the
board next week
The building is to be approximately
120 feet long and about twenty-five
feet in width. This will be subdivided
into' several smaller rooms,- each to be
devoted to the culture of a different
type of plants. One department will
be a model commercial greenhouse.
Other departments will be devoted to
the culture of the less common and
more interesting plants.
One of the special features will be
the palm garden. A large annex will
be built, in which nothing but palms
will be grown. This is a new feature
in greenhouse culture and In a few
years, it is expected that this palm
garden will be one of the greatest at
tractions to state farm visitors;
"The University Week is proving
very interesting to Schuyler people.
Three of the flye numbers, will be
over by the thrie this Issue of the
Messenger is off the press. A general
review of the entertainments will be
given next week. It goes without say
ing, though, that these entertainments
are of the very highest class, and we
hope, the main object, closer sympathy
with the work of our state university
will be fully realized. We know that
the ambitions of our local youth will
be aroused and deeper interest taken
in the home studies which will eventu;
ally lead our boys and girls to thlB,
our highest institution of learning."
Schuyler Messenger (March 31, 1916).
LAHR FINDS LITTLE
HOUSE, BIG TO PAINT
Ralph Lahr, junior law, wanted to
knock down a little coin during spring
vacation, and the suggestion was made
that he paint the little house next
door. Lahr asked if he would be paid
by the job or hour.
"Anyway .you want."
He cocked his eye at the house,
and said, "By the job."
The agreement was so made. Lahr
vowed he could do the work in a
day, but one of the members of his
family invited him to take another
look at the house.
"Well, a day arid a half," he said.
Tuesday found "Fal" hard at work
painting as was never painted be
fore. Loud was his song and merry
was his laugh.
Wednesday, he was up early and
coating the house with a vim, but
his laugh was reduced to a soft
cackle.
Thursday, he began to think he
wouldn't get done in a" day and a
half and he sang only one tune which,
if you listened hard, sounded some
thing like "Everybody Works but Fa
ther." It is finished now and the hard la
bor is forgotten in the pride of
achievement.
"The Cadet band of the Nebraska
university, appearing as the first enter
tainment number in the course of the
University Week association, present
ed a meritorious program before a
crowd of 500 people at the high school
auditorium last night.
"Those who listened to the youthful
musicians, who are chosen from the
three higher classes of the' state
school, were riiore than pleased. The
band plays with a professional swing
and with a tuneful harmony that is
seldom equaled by a college organiza
tion. To say that, this is the best
band in Nebraska is putting a compli
ment that the best1 musicians of Fre
mont will readily second." Fremont
Trl-Weekly Tribune (March 30, 1916).
"The state university attractions,
which have been with us the nast
week at Y. M..C. A., have proyen Tecy
popular and are considered much
istronger than thoso of last year. Sew
ard people have been very kind and
generous in entertaining the students
!who make up the companies and there
have been many riiore homes open to
them than the requirements called
or," Seward Independent-Democrat
