A LIVE SKELTEON
One of the city papers long known
for its maltreatment of university
news, announced Friday that we
"pulled another skeleton out of the
closet and are now advertising a stu
dent council." It further states that
this proposition has been advocated
periodically "almost as long as peo
ple can remember."
The fact of the matter is that the
Student Council has been advocated
just once before in the history of the
university. That time was two years
ago, when the matter never came to a
vote of the students Two years is
evidently as long as the reporter can
remember.
. Furthermore, the Student Council
is not brought up as a topic for dis
cussion. We mean to see that it is
adopted, or know the reason why.
The Student Council proposition
will prove a lively skeleton.
THE IVY DAY PLANS
The students can afford to watch
with especial interest the plans for
Ivy Day. Those in charge have many
things planned that are original and
Interesting.
As an example, we have already
been told that the concessions are to
be sold to students. This will arouse
greater interest, as the day will then
be entirely in the hands of the stu
dent body. It will also permit some
enterprising students to make some
profit, and at the same time serve
the students better than they have
been served in the past.
UNIONS PICNIC AT CRETE

society left at 10 o'clock Saturday

WRITES SONGS FOR ALUMNI
(Editor's ' Noie The following
songs, composed by Charlotte Hun
tington Andrus, were sung at the ban
quet of the Chicago alumni of the
university, at Chicago last Thursday
evening. The songs were brought to
The Nebraskan by Chancellor Avery,
who attended the banquet and spoke
on the problems of the university
today. While the music of the songs
cannot be published, the words them
selves have a ring of true Nebraska
spirit that still lives in the breasts
of the university alumni.
The Chicago association passed res
olutions pledging themselves to do
anv work in their power to help the
university grow and prosper. More

than 100 attended tne Danquei.j
A TOAST TO NEBRASKA
(Bv Charlotte Huntington Andrus)
Oh, we are jolly old alumni gathered
here.
Jolly old alumni of Nebraska;
We add to our numbers and our fame
from year to year
And we make a goodly army for Nebraska:
Now, some are literary and some are
ordinary,
And all are very loyal to Nebraska;
So we sharpen up our wits,
And we make some clever hits,
And we rise and clink our glasses
for Nebraska:
Chorus:
Rare old, fair old, peachy old Ne
braska.
We will wave your banners true.
You have pointed out the way,
And we're loyal here today,
As we give three rousing cheers for
you.
Oh, we are merry, merry students
gathered here,
Merry, merry students of Nebraska;
We're here to win, no matter what
we're in
Our air Is get the game for Nebraska.
Now some are earnest scholars,
And some Just spend the dollars,
But we're loyal to our colors in Ne
braska ;
If you put us to a test,
We will prove to you the best,
Are the scarlet and the cream of old
Nebraska.
HAIL, NEBRASKA!

THE BITTER TRUTH
We have been deeply hurt several
times lately when several people have
been heard to doubt the authenticity
of the weather forecast. We said that
it would be official, nd it has never
failed our power of foresight yet. Do
not doubt, ye unbelievers. It is true,
always has been, and though we are
guessing at It this time, we sincere
ly hope it always shall be.
Tonlghi: Fair, but cold
MOURNFUL PICKLES
Tell me not In mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream,
When you wake from peaceful slum
bers, And curse those pickles and Ice
cream.
Have you ever been tripping light
ly homeward from a dance with a fair
maiden and tripped once too heavily
and fallen flat on your face? And as
a result of that trip ripped a big
hole in the knee of your rented dress
suit? We know a man who did.
POINTING A MORAL
Though gossiping neighbors often may
6ay
Some things which really aren't true
There's never a one, but to whom
comes a day
When the tables are turned on them,
too.
The muse of poetry grips us to
day. Are you amused?
Have you ever had the fortune
When to a class dance "bid,"
To draw a girl who's out of sight,
And you wish that you were dead?
Or have you ever, girlies dear,
Sent up a prayer to heaven,
That the man you see there at the
door,
Would suddenly depart this region?
A SURE SIGN
You can always tell when a man
has had a date, by his hair-cut.
Some people are about as dull as
the shears in this office.
An Alma Mater Song
(By Charlotte Huntington Andrus)
Nebraska, Nebraska, our voices we
raise
With glad acclamation we join In your
praise,
On campus, in classroom, assembly
and hall.
Wherever Nebraskans are gathered
at all.
E'en when in our ventures succesk
we can claim,
May we always be thrilled at the
sound of your name;
We hall, with a cheer and a Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Our University of Nebraska.
Nebraska in dreams do we see you
wax great,
The learned and illustrious collect
round your gate,
Oh, may these rich visions in future
prove true,
And all that is longed for be given
to you.
From humble beginnings position you
have won.
Till you hold, undisputed, a place in
the sun.
So hail, with a cheer and a Rah!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Our University of Nebraska.
