THE BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT
The final list of entries for the state high school basketball tourna
ment, printed in The Nebraskan today, contains the names of 119
schools from every nook and cranny in the state. This makes this
easily the largest athletic tournament in the United States, and prob
ably in the world.
The high school tournament offers an unusual opportunity for the
University students to do a good work with the high school boys and
girls who come to play and to watch the games, and to see the
University.
Our buildings are not so very fine, except for the new ones that are
being built, and our campus, perhaps, is not so beautiful as some. Few
are the students, however, who do not believe that for a great Univer
sity Nebraska is the best and that here are opportunities to learn the
real values of life not found elsewhere. It is our duty, to help make
these high sihcol visitors come to this same realization, so that they
will come here to school, rather than go to some place else.
High school folks are largely imitative, and they will come to Lin
coln as to a wonderful city, looking toward the University students as
young men and women who are most to be admired. It is tip to the
University to prove that this is not a mere illusion, and that the men
and women ,here. by their helpfulness, their good fellowship, their
habits of right living, their ideals, are men and women whom it will
profit one to imitate.

OUR DAILY THOUGHT
So far, there have been no contri
butions to the Student Council que,
tionaire box, open to all. About day
after tomorrow tomeone will say they
aren't getting fair play.
How we love to have our friends and
otherwise smile at us. Far be it from
us to give vent to our personal feel
ings, but thero are a few wise peoplo
around here that know the power of
the press all right.
A FIXED TRADITION
The eagerness with which students bought tickets for University
Night yesterday shows that this annual event is a University tradition
which is fixed. The decision of the manager to hold it at the audi
torium would seem to be justified by the heavy sale, and it will be
interesting to see whether the experiment of giving the performance
where none of the students will have to be turned away proves a good
one.
The immense crowd that is assured and the holding of the Night
in the big theatre will prove an incentive to the students who are
giving stunts to excel all former exhibitions for wholesome fun and
diverting entertainment.
II Is rumored that the latest delicacy
served for dessert at the II. U. house
is beans. This little item is not meant
to create envy In the hearts of anyone,
but to show how sumptuously and ex
travagantly some .f the hoys are living!
A medium-sized potato artistically
combined with chiffon would make a
very acceptable corsage bouquet.

The Golden Fleece so dear.
The alluring, Golden Fleece;
But none comes a-lninting near,
As in days of Ancient Greece.
Reincarnated sheen.
(Ten thousand years have been)
Still gleaming in cloistered glory.
More radiant than in story.
On Nebraska's sandy shore.
Where dragons are unknown.
No sacred grove of yore.
Unsought for and alone.
Upon temples fair it shines.
On "radiant palaces,"
More precious than the gold of mines.
Fit to adorn the Graces.
O, for the days of old:
O. for Romance fair!
Alas! Who seeks the fleece of gold?
Who in quest of fleece so rare?
Is Jason still asleep
In. the abyss of Attic time?
Is the Golden Fleece unearned to go,
In a cold, and heartless clime?
O Jason! Say, Jason!
Reincarnate yourself!
And Jason! Say, Jason!
Why don't you come a racln!
Why, you oughta come a-ehasln.
As in the days of old.
