Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. The habit of keeping articles that have been found on the campus is becoming altogether too prevalent. From time to time things have disappeared from one place and another, never to reappear, and yes terday when the pocketbook containing twenty dollars was taken, the extreme end of the limit was reached. In every case, when articles have disappeared and have not been returned, said articls are valuable. Whether valuable things are harder to find, or whether they are more likely to disappear, is a mystery. A cheap fountain pen with a broken cap will be turned in at the students activities office, while a piece of jewelry or some money vanishes from the eyes of all men. A discriminating conscience is an affliction which needs a good dose of moral doctoring. And University students who are so lacking in moral ethics as to take things that do not belong to them, are sadly out of place in the daily machinery of a state institution. There is a lost and found department in the student activities office in the Administration building, where every effort is made to help owners recover lost articles. Everything that is found on the campus should be turned in at this office, and a few people should get busy and develop a little honesty. There is always a great deal of complaint as to the expense of a university career at Nebraska. Few people realize how very nominal the expense is in comparison to other schools of a relative size. An assessment of $57 has been levied an each senior at the Uni versity of California to raise a memorial trust fund of $50,000. If each senior at Nebraska was called upon to pay out 157 for anything, out side of food, clothes and play, they would feel terribly abused. Truly, we may be thankful forl of our blessings especially the low cost of living at Nebraska. The football team and the band will arrive in Lincoln tomorrow afternoon and preparations for a big welcome are being made. Ever since they left the city a week ago tonight, they have put the Uni versity on the map wherever they have been. We gave them a sendoff that helped them win and we should give them a welcome that will show them how mu... we appreciate their victories and how proud we are of them. An announcement of the exact plans for the reception of the team and the band will be made in Wednesday's Daily Nebraskan, and every loyal Nebraskan should turn out and show 'em the right spirit." Yours truly, the chief "flunky!" UNIVERSITY NOTICES Commercial Club Banquet The University Commercial club banquet will be held at 6:15 Wednes day evening at the Lindell hotel.

And the rea son for that in turn is because they make bad fraternity men: It takes a year to break them in, and the scholas tic records show that on the average about half of them fail in their studies." The new pledging rule under which the University fraternities will operate beginning next fall requiring that only those fraternities whose scholar ship is above the general fraternity average, can pledge freshmen makes it all the more imperative, Professor Buck pointed out, that good men be pledged, and it is the opinion of the council that good fraternity men are not nurtured in secondary school so cieties. The ruling of the council will be strictly enforced, Professor Buck de clared, regardless of the attitude tak en by secondary sch'ool authorities. "Every pledge will be investigated, and if he is a member of a high school fraternity, he will be barred."
