UNIVERSITY NIGHT The last University Night was. on the whole, the best within the knowledge of the present University generation. With the exception of one stunt that dragged, the program was unusually clean, full of a lot of good local hits, and the whole was run off with a pleasing quick ness. "The Shun" was the best that Sigma ilta Cht has put out, and trod not too heavily upon the toes of the campus celebrities. Holding the stunt night at the auditc -ium gave comfortable seats to practically all of the students and faculty who wanted to see the Night, and was an innovation that will probably be followed until Nebraska builds her own big auditorium. There was a noticeable and welcome absence of ragging the peo ple on the stage by the galleries. The last Cornhusker banquet evi dently taught a lesson to the students. The whole of them certainly did not enjoy themselves any the less because a few did not create a disturbance. The committee in charge is to be congratulated. It is not too early to look forward to the program for 191S. THE CRAZE FOR ORGANIZATIONS It is with something approaching a shudder that The Nebraskan records the entrance of two more organizations into University life the N Men's club and the geological fraternity, Sigma Gamma Epsilon. Both are founded for a worthy purpose and will be expected to be useful. One wonders at times, however, if the student spirit of Nebraska isn't being organized to death. A man can give his energies to not more than one or two societies in full usefulness, but there seems to te a craze among the students to get into this or that club or professional fraternity, or if entrance is impossible, to organize a new one. Let us not, in our frenzy to get a fine collection of pins, forget the big thing, the University itself. Let the student body exercise a liitle restraint upon his "joining" proclivities. A NEW NEBRASKA SONG The new Nebraska song by Cyril C. Thompson, as played and sung University Night, seemed to have the catchy tune needed for that long-looked-for new Nebraska melody. It is too soon yet to say that it will become a varsity song. Every opportunity should be given it to reach that place, however, and it should be sung and played at all Nebraska gatherings for some time. If it hasn't the wearing qualities needed that will soon be apparent. UNIVERSITY NOTICES Senior Class Meeting Senior class meeting Tuesday, March fi, at 11:30, in Law 101.

BURGLAR RE-ENACTS ROBBERY FOR BENEFIT OF DELTA ZETAS Someone who in temperament and tactics was very much like the burglar who took fifty dollars from the Gama Phi Beta house a week ago, while the sorority was giving its for mal party, ransacked the Delta Zeta house for cold cash Friday night while its banquet was in session, and found a total of five dollars. That he was evidently much disap pointed in his small returns, and that he left somewhat disgruntled Is Indi cated by the fact that he ignored a quantity of Jewelry about the house.
