THE DAYS GONE BY
TWO GOOD THINGS TO GO TO
The suffrage convocation today at 11:30, and the lecture on the
recent revolution In Russia tomorrow at 11 o'clock- in the Temple
theatre by Dr. F. M. Fling, are two things the University students
won t want to miss.
Little need be said about either. In addition to a nationally
known suffrage speaker, Prof. Ixuise round and Professor Fling will
talk at the suffrage convocation. They present a cause that has
been one of the most significant in the recent history of the United
States, and that will be the big issue in the campaign of 1918 in
Nebraska,
The announcement of Dr. Fling s lecture on the war will attract
an audience that will fill the Temple theatre to capacity. He has
not appeared in this way since his convocation talk after the out
break of the war, and that was a lecturo that was highly illuminative
and attracted national attention. That this deep student of history
will interpret the meaning of one of the most important happenings
in world history, the shaking off by Russia of her shackles of abso
lute monarchy, is an announcement that will draw all of the more
thoughtful people of the University and of Lincoln, who want to
be informed on the war by a man who knows whereof he speaks.
Here are examples of that test of an educated person of which
mention has been recently made. If you have a Cesire to know about
these things and to stimulate your mind upon two subjects decidedly
worth while, you will want to hear these lectures.
THE STUDENT COUNCIL COMMISSION
In appointing the Student Council charter commission, Chancel
lor Avery stated that this committee would from time to time hold
public hearings, at which different University organizations or indi
viduals could be heard.
The commission has now been at work more than a month.
There can be no doubt but that the members are working faithfully
at their tasks. They have presumably, by sending a delegate to the
national conference at Purdue, got a digest of the best systems in
the country. Their delegate to this conference has now been home
two weeks, to give the commission the benefit of his advice.
But, so far as The Nebraskan has betn informed, the charter
commission has held no public hearings to get the opinions of the
students of this University. The only means for ascertaining that
opinion has been apparently to draw upon the experience of the four
student and four faculty members, who cannot know everything, or
to rely upon communications that may or may not have been sent.
The commission will be expected to make Its report in a short
time now. Some fear has been expressed on the campus that the
plan will not be as carefully drawn as possible, unless some of these
public hearings are held. Surely it would be an easy matter for the
commission to announce a public hearing, and then invite different
organizations in the University to send to that hearing people who
could present the ideas of the organization.

The call has been Issued for all
the girls who are interested in base

I'ractice is to start soon and it is

Nebraska holds three of the col
legjgte track records. Florence Sim
mons holds the record for the twen-iv-five
yard dash and the forty yard
hurdle and Eva Fiske for the pole

The biennial appropriation Tor the
University of Ohio was $1.3S3.937.22.
If this amount was converted into dol
lar bills and placed end to end they
would reach from Columbus to Wash
ington eight times a good-sized
walk. They would buy three cocoa
colas a day for 6,319 years; they
would buy the male portion of the stu
dent body $9 99 suits for a period of
seventeen years, allowing two suits
annually. Ex.
California. Because of the increase
in tardiness California students have
petitioned to have all instructors dis
miss their classes at the stroke of the
bell instead of holding them over for
a few words more or, as some stu
dents say, "Just to show that they
can." Statistics show that there is
less tardiness at 8 o'clock classes than
at classes following. Ex.
Michigan Not Militaristic
' The students in Michigan do not
favor a course in military training ac
cording to a communication published
in the Michigan Daily. The Daily is
accused of misrepresenting the "atti
tude of the student body in editorially
furthering a course in military train
ing in the university. The fact that
few. more than 150 men out of over
5.000 expressed any desire to take
such a course, is said by the corre
spondent to be proof that the stu
dents do not care for military work.
