Business Manager Otto Skald Circulation Manager KEEP TO THE WALKS. The University has spent a great deal of money that the campus might be beautified. A large force of men have been employed" to plant grass and shrubbery, that the scenery might be improved. And again this year those in charge of this work are hampered by students who cut across the lawn, and do othei. things that detract from the beauty of the cam pus. Every student in the University should consider it a personal matter to avoid doing anything that will take away from the appearance of ' the school. Cutting across the grass is the worst evil. Throwing waste paper and refuse around is another. In a number of places shrubs have been planted across the short cuts, as a gentle reminder that every one is to keep to the walks. But even this has not stopped some of the stu dents who have continued to follow the beaten path. Thjs should be stopped. The dis tance between the buildings is not so great that numerous short cuts are a necessity. The average stu dent is not so weak that he can not follow thj walks and get to his des tination in time. Keep to the walks. They are so designed to connect the buildings by the shortest routes. Stay off the grass. Help beautify the campus. RAG CARPET As la tan cat . Succor I The flowers that bloom in the spring waterlillies. "The scholarship report will soon be out." "Er-r-r speaking of the weather, it's a nice day." "However, I'm bound to rise," said the student as the alarm clock went off. "Yes, I suppose I can claim to be a financial success. And just think, I started business with a shoestring." He's a genius. A man who could get anybody to 'buy one shoestring couldn't help but succeed. Boston Transcript. CAMPUS NOTES. If the student who lost the chewed up pink pencil which was found in U hall last week will apply at the book store he will be given a new yellow pencil if he has 5 cents to pay for it. "When I was young," boasted the civil war veteran, "t never took my girl out flivvering." Of course, when the Farmers fair was over, it got warmer. He gave his pin away, alas, The only one he had. Forsooth it was a common pin, But it was needed bad. GARDEN HINTS. "See here, old bean, quit shooting tip the garden like that." The best thing to plant is either seeds or plants. Best results are obtained if the seeds are not planted upside down. The bame thing applies to t' plants. And remember as you do not sew, so shall you rip. Student Opinion. We have a communication signed "Senior Girl" which we would like to use if we knew the name of the au thor. The Daily Nebraskan will not print letters that are not signed. The writers name will be withheld when requested. The College Press. INTERFRATERNITY BANQUET. Every fraternity man in the Uni versity of Nebraska should plan to attend the banquet this evening at the Scottish Rite Temple. Ballard Dunn, editor of the Oma ha Bee, will present the views of an outsider on scholarship. Chancellor Avery and Professor R. D. Scott will also speak. The banquet will mark the inau guration of a movement, started by alumni of fraternities, to raise the scholastic standing of the fraternities here at the University of Nebraska. Honor plaques will be given to the organizations having the smallest number of delinquent hours during the past two semesters. Over 800 fraternity men have al ready signified their intention of at tending by purchasing tickets. It was first planned to use the Chamber of Commerce, but it was found that it would not accomodate the crowd. It is to be an annual event, and the plaques will be reawarded each year. Every fraternity man should attend. THE REINS. (Purdue Exponent.) We are led again to reflect upon the selection of leaders for student affairs for the next school year. Each days new brings word of the election of new men to office, the men who are to take up the reins of management and government of stu dent affairs during the next year. With their election comes the exit ing of men who have carried the duties for the past year. The constantly changing personnel among student leaders makes it dif ficult to maintain a continuity of policy which will insure progress without everlasting back-slipping. New men in new offices cannot be expected to carry on with a similar assurance with which the old leaders left off. They must have time to realize the responsibilities of their office, to appreciate the duties which have fallen upon their shoulders, to take up the reins of management, and above all, to lose the feeling of newness. There is one great service that re tiring leaders can perform. It is in the instruction and advice of those who follow them. Unless they pass on the lessons of their experience, unless they make their knowledge and the things they have discovered which are lacking or essential to pro gress a source of easy access to those who would seek advice, the exper ience which they have had is lost, and the new leaders must of necessity learn the same lessons over again. With cooperation between the new and the old, with a careful going over and turning over of the prob lems that arise with every office, the gap which occurs with the change can be cleared and the successful carry ing on of student activities effected. Retiring leaders must help the new men take the reins. Gamut Club. Gamut Club dinner Thursday at 6 p. m. Tickets on sale not later than Wednesday.

Members of the student council that were elected yesterday for next year are all extremely capable and representative students, aad with this personnel the council should be able to expand and assume a more import ant role in the life of the University. The charge has ben made in the past that the council was not repre sentative, that it was not efficient and that the people best suited for it never got places. No such con ditions will exist next year. Regardless of the results of the election, the candidates were rep resentative' and from the field that 'tried for places it would be possible to take any Combination and get an assembly of students that represent every type in the University. This year has witnessed an expan sion in the powers and duties of the student council. It has become a more important body, and there is no reason why it should not seek new fields of endeavor and service to the University. It is a good sign that such repre sentative students should stand for election to this body. Let us hope that the council branches out a.d take; a still more active place in Uni . versity life.
