DR. MAXEY FOR THE REPUB
LICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
Students, regardless of party affil
iation, will agree that the republicans
can make no mistake in sending Dr.
Edwin Maxey, of the College of Law,
to the national convention as a dele
gate. There are matters of greatest
importance before our nation demand
ing important action within the next
few years. A great many of these
problems deal with matters of world
polity.
Dr. Maxey, through his writings,
has gained a national and interna
tional reputation. There is probably
no one in the state who is better ac
quainted with our national relations
and affairs than he is. It would in
deed be unfortunate if any party that
had the opportunity to avail itself of
his expert services in this crucial time
would fail to do so.
THE SINGLE TAX
The regents have postponed action
on tho Single Tax until a meeting
they expect to hold in about a week.
Just what their action will be at that
time we cannot tell.
We believe that the regents would
approve a voluntary Single Tax sys
tem without much discussion. That
the students have a right to club their
activities thus is clear. Also, we be
lieve that under the proper manage
ment the voluntary system would be
better than the system we now have.
But there are many respects in
which it is inferior to the compulsory
system. In the first place, the amount
would necessarily be higher. A guar
antee of 2,500 subscriptions would
make the cost cheaper than it would
bo were there merely the probabilitr
of 1,500 subscribers. In the second
place, there would still be a large
class of people who would not avail
themselves of the opportunity to
broaden themselves through student
activities.
Therefore, we believe that the com
pulsory system is the one Nebraska
needs.

Maxey Again
Dr. Maxey was heard to say, the
othor day when ho went to Kearney
to judge a debato between Peru and
Kearney, "If this chilly weather keeps
up till I got to Kearney, I'm going to
get a bowl of chili con came!"
Al Bryson has threatened to pun
ish us for the story about the keys,
by a "crool" cartoon of our smiling
self in the next Awgwan. We can't
see why she would do such a dastard

he has wanted us to print that story
for some time.
TRUE ENUF
I wish I wuz a little flea,
And could hop and skip and jump;
I would not have to Avalk so straight,
For I would not be so plump.
How would you like to be In a
hammock under a shady tree, with an
electric fan wafting cool breezes upon
your brow, a good story to read, and
a rubber tube connected with a barrel
of something to drink within reach?
FAT PEOPLE READ THIS
If your labors are in vain,
And you can't get thin,
Follow this prescription well,
For fatness is a sin.
Stay up awful late at night,
Never sleep a wink;
Worry about everything
Meditate and think.
Don't eat anything at all,
Study hard instead;
This will surely make you thin,
Or make you sick in bed.
IS IT FOR THE FAIR TO
SIT UPON THE GREEN?
The return of tho green grass and
the warm sod and the cool shade and
the disagreeableness of tho library,
has called up once more the mooted
question as to whether or not the
fair co-ed makes herself undignified
to sit upon the campus green. The
pure delight of getting right down to
earth, of plucking the green grass
stem and biting its. tender tips, of
looking at the trees and skies and
buildings and everything has called
out the university men, but it is un
derstood that there is a feeling in
some quarters that the women should
hold themselves above the ground,
and if they must get into the open,
use the seats. Opinion seems to be
divided as to the etiquette of the
thing, but it has been noised abroad
that the girls are not going to be
denied place on the college pasture.
