ADVANTAGES OF STUDENT DORMITORIES
The question of housing students has become, for the university
cf Nebraska, a serious one. The enrollment this year far exceeds
that of any former year, and the city of Lincoln is not able to cope
adequately with the situation. The only available rooms for student
homes are scarce and overcrowded. What will it be next year with
an added Increase "in the numbers who attend the university?
Dormitories would solve the question. Dormitories where they
exist are proving to be most satisfactory. At Harvard University
every first year man is requested to live in the freshman dormitories
which were built , for this purpose. They have plenty of room and
modern conveniences of living which foster good health and good
scholarship. Freshmen have every opportunity to know others in
their class, and have little inclination or opportunity to develop snob
iKhness. A certain unity of class spirit is obtained which is impos
sble to get when students are scattered all over the city.
The problem for women students is undoubtedly more serious
at Nebraska than it is for men. Many of the few houses near the
campus where roomers are taken, prefer men. Girls who come to
Lincoln as strangers often have to walk the streets In a vain search
for a place to sleep, and to call home. True, there are places farther
out in town where girls may obtain rooms, but living at a distance
from the campus necessitates some expense in the way of car-fare
and the inconvenience of loss of time, separation from the campus
and hence from school life.
The University is a community in itself, and the establishment
of dormitories would make it possible for the student body to be
kept as a. unit. With rooming houses scattered, it is not very easy
to govern the student body in a systematized and unified manner.
Dormitories are a big stepping stone to the concentrated systematic
government of the student body and to the development of a true,
campus spirit at the University of Nebraska.
TAKING CARE OF NEW BUILDINGS
Let us show our appreciation for the new buildings erected for us
at the University of Nebraska by ridding ourselves of that attitude
of indifference which is so commonly prevalent among the members
of our student body. These new buildings are generally taken as a
matter of course,-as something which was accomplished out of an
mediate need, and for no other reason. It is doubtful whether
some students who have no classes in the new mpus structures
ever visit the buildings at all. These buildings are erected for the
students and the students themselves should realize this and co
wttl tbe university officials who have provided those here
to learn w th houses of learning sufficient to meet the f the
in good repair.
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA
The completion of its first fifty years, which the University of Ne- .
Tnw ea ths that support them. Deriving their foundat
Tance directly from the people, these JUJ h ic and in
to adapt instruction and activities to the needs of their public, and in
consequence they have attained, particularly during the last quarter
century to a remarkable degree of usefulness and Influence
The University of Nebraska is nearly as old as the state and its
fortunes have closely followed those of the state. It is much to be
2ut of the early settlers that despite discouragements of drouth crop
flnures. and financial stress, successive legislatures never withheld the
biennia appropriations necessary to the maintenance of the infant in ti
tutn With the oncoming of more prosperous times the university
entered upon a career of greatly widened scope. Within the last decade
and a half the buildings have increased from fifteen to forty; the orlg
8ion8; nine colleges, grouped about the college of leberal arts and
sciences as a nucleus, amply provide for the wide diversity of modern
professional occupations; the student body has grown to a community
of over 5 000 and the faculty now numbers 250. The new chemical
laboratories with their equipment are said to be among the finest of
the kind in the United States and the library of 140,000 volumes affords
abundant opportunities for valuable work in almost every line of re
search. ,
The child of the pioneer state, now grown to maturity, has amply
repaid the fostering care bestowed upon it. The university is at once
the practical helper and the Inspiring leader in the agricultural and
other industries of the state; and of the many hundred graduates it
has sent forth it can count a goodly number who have distinguished
themselves In scholarship, in science and in leadership in public affairs.
Such an educational institution, so wisely conceived and so generously
realized. Is a true reflection of the spirit of the west The citizens of a
state In which higher education" is thus visibly honored and so freely
maintained at public expense are not likely to fall below the standard
set by an enlightened and progressive age. The Springfield Republican.

FEW MEN WANT R. 0. T. C.
TRAINING AT KANSAS UNI
The University of Kansas Is ex
periences some difficulty in finding a
Sufficient number of students for en
rollment into the R. O. T. C. unit. The
report of last week showed that only
fifty-two had sifinified their wiling
ress to enlist in the military course.
The corps was established last spring
with 138 men on the roster and the
number has finally dwindled to only
forty-two.
Col. Harold Burdick of the Kansas
University in a" statement to t he
students last week said: "I think
that the university and the govern
m nt are suffering a fifty-fifty loss if
the R. O. T. C. is disbanded, The
government is losing some mighty
good men, and the university is los
ing a good chance at a course that
will help bring more students to
school. . Much equipment is on me
way to Lawrence and all preparations
are under way to make this a good
year for the R. O. T. C. An act of
congress provides that 100 men must
be enrolled before a corps can oe
established at a school. I should like
to start with 60 men, for I feel that
the R. O. T. C. once established will
be on its feet In another year."
"Most men think that when 'hey
enroll in the R. O. T. C. they are
bound for a term of four years, but
this is contrary to fact. Each man is
enrolled for a year and is not bound
to take up R. O. T. C. work the year
following."

SHORT-CHANGED
Early last week, the professor, who
engineers your stiffest class which
meets -five separate, distinct, and
deadly times a week told you of a
certain text-book which he said would
be vastly advantageous to the de
velopment of your cerebrum. Now,
you were really quite satisfied with
ihe status of your cerebrum (nice
word, cerebrum!!! Since you starred
your career of psychology a week
ago, you've had occasion to use it a
hundred times, and you never fail to
make the best of the occasion it
sounds sp learned, dont you know?).
Well, as I was saying, you thought
you had quite a corner on the cere
brum stuff, so you didn't worry
about the book.
You didn't worry about the book,
and you couldn't see why the dickens
the professor should. But he did.
His insistence that you get one was
really most annoying. About the
end of the week, you decided that thi
only thing to do was to bid farewell
to a few shekels, and take unto your
self uncessary encumbrance in the
form of a book.
You hied yourself to a nearby
bookstore. To your surprise, all
copies of the book which you wanted
had been sold. You went to another.
Ditto. And to another. Echo. And
to still another. Repeat. You went
back to the first store, and asked If
there would be more books. You
were told that said books had been
ordered, and were expected any lime,
but transportation was so uncertain,
etc., etc., etc.
You went back the next day to see
if the books had come. Of course
they had not. And for several days
you went back, but not a book had
come. In the meantime, your pro
fessor waxed most obnoxious about
the book. Finally, the man at the
bookstore with whom, by this time
you felt quite well acquainted sug
gested that you send in a separate
order for the book. This you decided
to do, even though there was a very
disagreeable 'pay in .advance" con
ditlon involved in the order.
The next day you went to class,
feeling that someday you would
posses a book, and would go ever
after unscathed by the sarcastic re
bukes of the professor. There, you
learned that two days before when
your cerebrum must have been some
what dormant the professor had an
nounced that the text-book had been
changed, and that plenty copies of
the new book could be found at any
tore.

NOTRE DAME IS OPTIMISTIC
Many Experienced Warriors Ex
pect to Win Berths On
Team.
NOTHE DAME, Ind., Sept. 27.
Can a team of wonderful possibilities
he transplanted Into a first-class grid
iron combination In one short week?
Thi't's the Chinese puzzle which
Head Coach Knute Rockne of Notre
Dame university la working on at
present and which must b tolved be
fore the Gold and Blue athletes tangle
with Kalamazoo college hero Satur
day. It Is no secret that not since the
effulgent days when Notre Dame was
bathed In the rays of such satellitlea
as Elehenlaub. Rockne, Dorals. Pllska,
and their associates has the outlook
for a stronk backfield been better.
Competition Is keen for every position
on the team, especially so for back
field berths. Heading the coterie of
backs Is Captain Leonard Dalian, who
will undoubtedly engineer the 1919
eleven. Brandy, Sexton and Pearson
are also contending for the quarter
back Job.
George Gipp Coming.
Numbered among the applicants for
halfbacks are "Dutch" Bergman,
Malone, Kasper. Mohardt, Fitzpatrick.
Barry and Gllflllan. George Gipp. half
back and sensational kicker, is con
fined to his home in Michigan with
an attack of Influenza, but Is expected
to report for duty in a few days.
Slackford. Miller and Wynne are the
principal candidates for fullback.
The condition of the lne is the
chief source of worry. The loss of
Andrews', tackle, who starred with the
Municipal Pier team last fall, Stine,
McGuire and Meager was a severe
jolt to this season's forward combina
tion. In Coughlin and Degree, Coacli
Rockne has a pair of good linesmen
around whom he must construct his
wall. Dave Hayes, a veteran of 1917,
will do much to steady the right wing
of the line.
