Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln. Nebraska, as
second class mail matter under the Act of Congress of
March 3. 1S79.
THE ROOMING PROBLEM
Some time ago when there was an apparent scarcity of
rooms for women students in Lincoln, some of the papers
In the state took advantage of the news to write editorials
which were misleading, and harmful to the university.
At first there was some doubt as to the possibilities for
ample accommodations, but at present every woman will
be able to secure desirable rooms.
Registration should head the list of ."tests of a good
nature."
The extra edition of The Dally Nebraskan yesterday
afternoon is a proof of the efficiency of the staff. This is
the first time in the history of the paper that there have
been both morning and afternoon editions during regis
tration week. "When two editions of a school paper are
seen in one day it's a pretty good sign.
The football record of the University of Nebraska is
known in every corner of the country, and every year
with the coming of new triumphs, there are added perils
that would take away the wonderful reputation.
Defeat is the ever-present shadow of success, and it is
not too early to begin to prepare for the most important
football season ever scheduled.
Freshman caps are worn by the men students in many
of the larger colleges and universities in the country, with
the result that there is a better unity and friendliness than
there would be without. At Nebraska some wear the
little green caps, and again, some do not, because of so
called modesty dislike of being conspicuous. A freshman
is the most important person in school and should be con
spicuous. Every freshman at Nebraska should wear the
cap that will give him a better opportunity to enjoy the
beet of everything that any education may offer unlim
ited friendship.
The University of Nebraska needs a permanent athletic
stadium. With the growth of the school and the increased
importance that the university takes, each year, in the
world of sports, there should be a well-built stadium for
the benefit of not only the present generation, but also
the ones in the years to come.

TRYOUT8 FOR
PLACES IN THE
CADET BAND
Tryouta for the university cadet
banc will be held at the Temple thea
tre, Thursday and Friday evenings at
6 o'clock. New men, wishing to try
out, are asked to bring their instru
ments and report at the time and
place mentioned.
Competition for places in the band
is expected to be keen, the organiza
tion having earned the title of the
beet college band in the country in re
cent years. The possibility that the
band will make the trip to the Oregon
agricultural college-Nebraska univer
sity football game at Portland, Ore.,
October 21, is an added incentive for
the men to strive for places.
FRESHMEN MASS
MEETING SUNDAY
IN THE TEMPLE
A macs meeting for all men in the
freshman class will be held at the
Temple theatre. Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock, under the auspices of the
University Y. M. C. A. and under the
direct charge of Rev. R. A. Waite, of
the First Congregational church of
Lincoln, former international boys'
secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
The meeting Is called for the pur
pone of getting the freshmen together,
helping them in their university prob
lems, and helping tbem get acquainted
with each other. In addition to Rev
erend Waite, a number of prominent
students will give addresses to the
men.
UNI DIRECTORY
COMING NEXT. MONTH
The university directory, containing
a complete list of students and faculty
for the present semester, giving ad
dresses, telephone numbers, home
towns, year in school and college, as
well as other affiliations, will be pub
lished early in October, according to
the Y. M. C. A. cabinet chairman in
charge of the publication.
The directory will tollow the same
general lines of last year's book, a
few improvements being made. The
price of the book will be 20 cents. Six
teen hundred copies will be printed,
but the forms will be held for a few
days so that more can be run off if
the demand exceeds th first supply.

BACK AGAIN
When September's cooling breezes,
Play thru the yellowing grass;
When the birds soon lose their twitter
And lost is the hot wind's lash;
When the blood needs circulation
And our summer love wo've sang.
Tis time to close vacation.
And go back and see the gang.
To us tho Joys of meeting
All our friendships warm unfold.
And the love of school and autumn
New and greater friendships mold.
Yet strangers walk about the campus:
Others sit In seats of power,
And the budding blooms of last year
Now have blossomed into flowvr.
Still there's a note of sadness iu it.
There is something that we lack.
'Tis the faces and the handshakes
Of the ones who can't come back;
Gone are those familiar figures.
Each has run his little race;
Only the dim ghosts of remembrance
Haunt the shadows of their place.
So each year brings forth its offering
Of the school Joys that we know
Yet there's mingled in this gladness
The fond thota for them that go.
Our time'may be next in waiting,
Though the sorrows now we lack;
When autumn's winds again are blowing
We'll be the one's who can't come back.
RUSHING
Girls ain't it awful,
I've found a lot of dope,
' How suicide ain't going anything
And we haven't the least hope.
And say, you know the Thetas
Got a bunch of girls hid;
And Alpha Phi was rushing
And got a lot of people bid.
Gee, I heard a Kappa
Tell another on the street,
That they simply had them going
And the girls were awfully sweet
Honest now, the D. O.'s are saying.
They have got all the class
While Pi Phis are announcing
That they've spiked some dandy lass;
And others in confidential whispers
Pat each other on the back.
If they didn't start for rush week
They'd be sure to hold the sack.
So the maidens all are ready.
And the cellar gang is hid,
While the other's pursue freshmen
To give them the best gang's kid.
