The first football game of the season will be played with Drake.

Have you ever heard of a "midnight oiler." He's a person who
sits up till all hours of the night studying when he ought to be sleeping,
and thn sleeps during classes next day. He Is pale, weary-eyed and
cross. He gets high marks and passes as a brilliant student. A "mid
night oiler" is a mistake.
If you have subscribed for The Daily Nebraskan and are not receiv
ing it, report the fact at the Daily Nebraskan office or to the business
manager in the Student Activities office. The stafT is anxious to make
every effort to straighten out the subscription list satisfactorily to
everyone.
The tea for women students in Faculty hall Thursday afternoon,
is the first of a series of teas given by Dean Mary Graham during the
year. The hour from four to five on Thursday is a time to make new
friends and develop the social side of school life.
The football team has been having secret practice, this last week,
ia preparation for the Drake game next Saturday. In the first place.
Nebraska is going to win the game regardlees cf all the "bear dope"
that has been flying around, and secondly, a football conference which
requires secret practice, and closed gates during scrimmage has reached .
a deplorable condition. If a school sets out to get information on the
plays of another school's team, the information will be theirs regardless
of close censorship or secret practices. To the ordinary rooter, an
afternoon's scrimmage on the field is the biggest pep generator ever,
and more harm is done in keeping said rooter away than in opening the
gates for "the world to see."

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 3, 1916.
To the Editor, Daily Nebraskan:
In an editorial appearing In today's
Daily Nebraskan, you refer to the
Hughes meeting of last Monday even
ing as " a sign of the times."
Now, Miss Editor, Just what do you
mean by the word "sign?" Webster's
dictionary gives many different mean
ings to the word, but the only one I
have been able to find which would in
any way justify its U6e is where it
defines a sign as "a miracle; wonder."
It is indeed a miracle, my dear editor,
that two hundred, moreor less most
ly lees, presumably deep thinking Uni
versity students should rally to the
support of a candidate for president of
the United States whose platform of
fers no constructive program and
whoee whole campaign has been one of
"hit and miss criticism." It is indeed
remarkable that such brilliant "lights"
as Carl Ganz and John Riddell should
allow their partisan spirit to misdirect
their energy in such an unworthy
cause.
Indeed the millenium must be nigh
when a candidate for president of the
United States, "backed" by the allied
support of American special interests
and foreign governments whose dicta
tion our own President Woodrow Wil
son refeused to accept, will dare to
appear before the American people
and make such a campaign as Candi
date Hughes and his "backers" are
putting up.
If "the followers after Hughes" in
Nebraska's great university have any
more constructive program to offer
than their candidate seems to have,
they should let the voters have a look
at It. As the Wood row Wilson club
was the first to extend a challenge for
debate, so they are the first to urge a
public discussion of the campaign and
its various phases through the columns
of our dally newspaper.

AS RUMANIA COMES IN
GERMAN SCHOOL GOES OUT
(By Associated Press.)
Berlin, Sept 30. Rumania's partic
ipation in the war will doubtless put
an end to the activities of the largest
German school in the world outside
the German empire. This school, sit
uated in Bucharest, covered all de
partments of education from kinder
garten up to preparatory college work,
and had 1,600 pupils. There was an
other large German schol at Crajova,
These schools were yearly inspected
by a German school councilor, who
conducted at them examinations for
entrance Into the universities of Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, Switzerland
and Tvumtnlii. A number of German
teachers who had been called to the
colors in the first months of the war
have been later released from service
and sent back to Rumania Exchange.
