Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Convocation was postponed yesterday morning because there were not more than forty people in the Memorial hall. Not only were the students absent, but the professors, too, forgot to come. Was it be cause they did not know about it? Surely the notice had been on the bulletin, long enough. Convocation is held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, in Memorial hall, and programs have been arranged by the convocation exercises committee for the benefit of everyone, and everyone should take advantage of them. They are not only instructive, but entertain ing and the men and women who are gracious enough to give their time and the benefit of sometimes years, of work should be treated with the utmost enthusiasm and courtesy. Let us hope that In the future every convocation hour will find Memorial hall filled with an interested Intelligent audience. The first mixer of the season will be given in the armory next Saturday evening, and It's going to be a "regular" one, to start the year right. If you dance, come; and if you don't dance, come. It will be a party for everyone. Did you know that the Oregon Aggie band was one of the chief attractions at the San Francisco exposition, and that our band Is going out to Portland and play rings around them if we all get busy and buy our tickets to the benefit dance, October 13? The person who knows every little thing that happens is generally the one who has encouraged someone else's talking, by first saying quite a bit himself. Are you wearing a girls club membership tag? There are about fifteen hundred girls in school, so, the campaign slogan, "On to 600," ought not to be hard to bring to a reality. How do you do?

How do FORUM THE LIBRARY CONGESTION To the Editor of The Daily Nebras kan: The University organization should be ready to adjust itself to the growing needs of the student body which it serves. The number of stu dents in attendance at the school this fall is larger than ever before, and yet library facilities have not been in creased to correspond to the increased number of patrons of the library. At the end of practically every class period one may see a row of stu dents standing in line from the re serve desk in the library almost to the entrance doors, waiting for a chance to secure reference books. Those on the end of the line have to wait fifteen and twenty minutes, or even more, to get a book, losing valu able study time. The congestion, which is more noticeable this year than In the past, is probably due to a more extensive use of the reCcicuee books in class assignments. By Inserting another window at the reserve desk and employing another assistant, the congestion could at least be cut In half. "A STUDENT."

EMPHASIZE DESIGN IN HOME ECONOMICS WORK AT THE FARM High school girls of the school of agriculture at the state farm, are for the first time, to have work in color and design, under Mrs. J. D.

Professor Frandsen, head of the dairy department at the state farm, leaves for Alliance, Neb., today, to be one of the judges at the Box Butte county fair. Sixty or seventy boys and girls at the state University school of agricul ture showed their determination to get an education by working part or all of their way through school last year, according to an estimate made by Prof. H. E. Bradford, principal of the school. Pretty nearly every kind of labor imaginable was performed by students last year. Girls worked in kitchens, helped with housework, or waited tables. Boys got up early to fire furnaces, do chores, or sweep of fices. It is expected that more stu dents than ever before will work their way through school this year, if an expected increase in attendance materializes. Prof. George R.

Loomla, Head of the The physical condition of college students has not , been entirely neg lected, whi'e students in elementary and high schools are Inspected and nursed, and provided with playgrounds and lunch rooms. Athletics and phys ical education departments have done much, but it Is the living conditions of the students that in many cases de cide the general health. If adequate dormitories cannot be provided for students some effort can be made to provide food at moderate cost College dining halls are found in most of the large universities. The cafeteria is a rather recent effort to provide food at a low cost by having the student serve himself. Across the street from Harvard university is a thriving cafeteria which has no con nection with the university, however. In, the University of California a wealthy patron has arranged for a cafeteria for girls, where each one washes her own dishes. The small patronage shows that it is not the kind of service desired. The disadvantage of the cafeteria service is evident the lack of any home atmosphere and Incentive to so cial conventions. The advantages are equally apparent-khe students' oppor tunity to choose from variety of foods, quick service and lower cost than usual. The free choice may really be Department of Home Economics.) an advantage or an unfortunate thing depending upon' the student's ability to choose foods wisely. Recently a student in this. Univer sity, who was taking medicinal iron, chose a luncheon of white bread, milk, ice cream, jelly and white cake. She passed the custard and other egg dishes, the asparagus, spinach and string beans, all of which would have given her the iron she needed. Students usually show the most judg ment in their choice of meat sub stance. Eggs, beans and cheese dishes dishes are very sensibly chosen in place of meat. Not so much wisdom is shown in the choice of starchy dishes and green vegetables. Pota toes and rice are sometimes taken in connection with an abundance of bread and all of them contain much starch. ' It would be wiser to substi tute a green vegetable for either the rice or the potatoes. While the green ve&tables and fresh fruits do not give much rood value they are needed for their variety of mineral matter and as "preventive medicine." A menu "eat and grow fat" would not contain coffee and tea for all of their nourishment Is in the cream and sugar added to them. Inexpensive foods with high food value are beans, bread, potatoes and gravy, rich cake, peanut butter, hash and milk. DEAN GRAHAM AT Y, M. U. VESPERS Declares Association Work One of the Biggest Movements for Women in the World Miss Mary Graham, dean of women. declared at the Y. W. C.
