NON
COMPOS
MENTIS
THE UNIVERSITY APPROPRIATION
The fight launched upon the University appropriation bills by cer
tain members of the legislature yesterday afternoon was as unexpected
as it is unaccountable. The requests of the regents were conservative
and were only for things needed to maintain the University's rank in
the educational world, and keep it going at a high degree of efficiency.
So violent a fight against appropriation bills so moderate is a surprise.
It seems to have been engineered by the same coterie of men who have
been consistently unfriendly to the University.
It is generally conceded that the management of the University is
almost a marvefof efficiency, when it has been kept at the highest
rank among educational institutions of the country, on a minimum of
expenditure. One of the seasons for this, of course, has been the
splendid loyalty and unselfishness of the members of the faculty, who
have been inspired to stay because they loved the school, even at a
financial loss to themselves.
But it will be a great disappointment to these same faculty, and
to the students, and to the great body of the people of the state, if the
funds voted' for building purposes in Lincoln are diverted into other
channels, or if the University appropriation measures are continually
cut in spite of the real need for the improvements called for by the
appropriations.
It seems to be the University's cross that it becomes a bone of
contention at every session of the legislature. It is certainly to the
lasting fame of the school that every assault leaves It still a great
educational institution, whose detractors can lay
nothing tangible to criticise.

A SCHOLARSHIP CUP FOR SORORITIES
The Omaha Pan-Hellenic association has given a silver cup to be
awarded at the end of each semester to the sorority ranking first in
scholarship. The first award will be made at the end of the present
semester.
The Hainer scholarship cup for fraternities has been the means
of helping them strive for better scholarship grades. Possession of
such a cup stands for something worth while in fraternity life. The
Omaha Pan-Hellenic association has given the sororities at the Uni
versity an added incentive to raise their scholarship averages, already
high.
The cup will also furnish the sororities a basis for friendly rivalry
in something that will work, not only for the good of tne sororities
and the uret-k world as a whole, but for the good of the University
as well.
Have you
Ever seen a
Man talking to
Himself
On the street?
There was one of
That Species
Going to the
Bookstore today.
And the way his
Uncertain pathway curled
And turned, while his
Waving hands performed
Various revolutions
In the air
To the rythm
Of the sonorous
Words which wafted
From his dainty lips.
Was enough to
Make one think
That the world's
Greatest melodrama
Was being enacted
Before one's very
Azure orbs of blue.
Whether it was the
Ivy Day orator.
Or a member of
Siema Delta Chi
Rehearsing for their
Clever Utile stunt
Is a deep
And unknown secret.
Far be it
From Andy to think
Anything else would
Cause any such flow
Of superfluity.

explosion down on O street?"

We need sy-ympathy,
Is a song we oft have heard;
From the muchly abused faculty
With their eyes with tears
blurred.
We never get a fair deal
We're always in the cold;
Those nastly little students
Are very rude and bold.
We never give them lessons
That take them eighty hours,
We're always very careful
To strew their paths with flowers.
We never get the benefit
Of any student "comps";
The Single Tax isn't fair
Hard luck Just comes In lumps.
We didn't get the first chance

We left them all for the little ones
Because we wouldn't fight.
We re Just the nicest, kindest dears,
That ever lived on earth;
We re PERFECT
And the weight of gold's our
worth (?)
