Entered at the postoffiee at Lincoln, Nebraska, us second class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
There is nothing more exciting than a good, clean game of basket
ball. The alertness, the play of the muscles, the mental rivalry, the
activity of each player as he plays the game lends a fascination to it
that cannot be equalled by any other.
The games, Friday and Saturday evenings found the gymnasium
crowded. The spirits of the spectators were running high. Both the
teams were in good condition. The game was a fast one, and a good
one. The team work and the defensive of the Nebraska team could
not be equalled.
Basketball has not been as important at Nebraska as it deserves
to have been. Basketball should rank as high in athletics as foot
ball, and from all indications it will be as popular in the future as the
gridiron game.
To the newspaper reporter there are two kinds of professors,
the ones who are always obliging and give them the latest news of
their department, and the ones who have become deaf and dumb at the
first flourish of the reporter's pencil.
The first class are the men and women who are the boosters, the
broad-minded ones who believe in the practice of the golden rule, and
who are glad to let others know of even the smallest item of news
that may be of interest.
The other class are like a storm on a troubled sea, like the
telephone bell about 3 o'clock in the morning, worse than awful.
There are those who refuse to give any information on the most im
portant of incidents, and there are those who keep their news from
the University paper for the city papers, and it's "scooped again!"
for the University paper.
This is not the right attitude for the professors to take. There
is no paper that will boost the University more, and incidentally, the
professors, than the University paper. There is no paper that will form
campus opinion quicker and faster than the University paper. And
there are some who do not seem to know it.
There are a great many professors who are very helpful and
accommodating to the reporters, and they soon become known as "the
right kind of a person," not only to the reporters, but to his friends,
and his friends' friends.
Verily, it pays to advertise.
Now comes a man who objects to the University Farm being
called a "farm." The letter in the Friday's Forum from a member of
the college of agriculture, objecting to being addressed as a member
of the "farm faculty" seems to be rather far-fetched.
The college of agriculture is located on the University property
at the edge of town, where there is more room and opportunity for
the research work done by the different departments. A college of
agriculture would not be a successful venture on Thirteenth and O
streets or even adjoining the city campus, that is hemmed in by
railroad yards, squatty shacks and the "Temple." So, many acres
are set aside, away from the inconveniences of the town, for the
use of the college of agriculture.
Furthermore, the "Farm" has become known by that name by
common usage. Every newspaper in the state calls it the "Farm."
It is a little community set off by itself. The University catalogue
calls it the Farm.
And last of all, why should a man who supposedly prepares
young men and young women for more useful and successful lines on
their own farms, object to living on a "farm" himBelf. There is no
more respected profession today, than farming, and the farmer with
his broad acres and his fine crops is the envy of more than one of
another profession.
We, on the city campus are mighty proud of the "Farm" and
the wonderful things it is doing, and it is one of our greatest hopes
that some day the people of the "Farm" will realize that we have
not set them off by themselves, theoretically, but feel that they are
just as much a part of this great institution as any of the other
colleges, for until that time comes, there will never be the "united
Nebraska" that is so vitally necessary.

THE DAYS GONE BY
Five Years Ago Today
The University of Minnesota refused
to grant "MV to the members of the
football team because, of damages
done to tr.e Northwestern train which
took them to the Wisconsin game.
The railroad had handed in a com
plaint to the university for about forty-eight
dollars damages.
The publication board met to elect
the editorial staff for The Daily Nebraskan.

Two new courses in journalism
under Prof. M. M. Fogg were listed in

To the Editor of The Daily Nebras
kan: In your issue of January 17, the fol
lowing lines were printed: "Protes
sor Buck Bald that be considered it
rather queer that the University cho
rus should sing The Messiah' to wel
come a 'pagan,'"
I am a student of rhetoric and Pro
fessor Buck told us repeatedly that
when we use a word we should know
the meaning of the word, although I
am inclined to think that bis meaning
of the word "pagan" sounds welL
At the end of Tcgore'a lecture at

Michael F. Guyer, '97, professor of
zoology at Wisconsin, had finished bis
book, entitled, "Being Well Born."
The University Players presented
"Believe Me Xantippe" at the Bran
deis theater in Omaha.
Southern California Unless twice as
many men attend the law banquet this
year as have formerly attended, it will
be abandoned, bo say those that are
in charge. It depends upon the new
mea in the department to make it a
succesB, and they bave to go. Ex.
Carl O. Amick was elected Pre
Medic president over Guy Moates, 50
to 23, ai luu meeting teld Friday.
Carl C. Carlson was elected vice-president.
D. T. Ford, secretary, and A.
E. Herman, treasurer.
The election was held after a hot
campaign and nearly every Pre-medic
was there to cast his vote. Every
man in the meeting was excited over
the close race and both candidates
gave short talks.
For most of the men, this next se
mester is the last at Lincoln, so the
presidency is an honor that is eagerly
sought.
WILL INCREASE SIZE
OF '17 MRNHUSKER
Frey Announces Sixteen Additional
Pages More Money to Be
Spent on Engravings
The 1916-1917 Cornhusker will be
the largest annual ever put out at
the University of Nebraska, the staff
declares. The book will be of the
same dimensions as last year but will
contain sixteen more pages of edi
torial matter. Editor Frey has planned
to give space to all departments,
some of which have heretofore been
represented only in part or not at all.
This will not crowd the other depart-
"nts, however, because of the in
crease in the size of the book and
will make it more representative, the
staff believes.
The management has planned to
spend $500 more on engraving than
was expended last year in spite of
the increase in the price of printing.
The work is now well organized and
the staff is working hard. The Corn
husker will be out May 1 and can be
delayed only by lack of co-operation
on the part of the student body. Jokes
or pictures can be turned in any day
between 1 and 5 o'clock at the Corn
husker office on the fourth floor of
University "ball.

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
ART EXHIBITION IS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
The art exhibition from the Syra
cuse university has been attracting
considerable attention. It represents
the work of a college of arts and
sciences in a university only a little
larger than Nebraska and gives an
idea of what could be done if a sim
ilar school could be established here.
It must be remembered that the pupils
of this school have bad drawing in
warn
the elementary schools while the ma.
Jority of pupils in the fine arts here,
according to Prof. Blanche Grant,
have not had this elementary training.
Minnesota A new club has been
formed at the university, which ha
as its object the suppression of slan

Gossip Club," and has adopted "Ble.

Its motto. Ex.
