This last question seems pecul iarly inappropriate. We are not to be entertained, but are to be the entertainers. We are at home, in the house of our edu cational mother ; and we are going to help her celebrate her "birthday not ask her, on her birthday, to do something for us. We are always here on Charter Day ; we are now to assist in making Charter Day mean something to others who are less fortunate than ourselves, We lo not need inspiration or en thusiasm, we have both ; but we are going to help stir up the enthusiasm of others. This is a day and a celebration peculiarly for the state and ihe schoolmen and citizens in general ; and we students are to lend a helping hand. What are we to do, then? Here are a few things : Leave word at the Executive office at once as touVe" number of High School delegates we will entertain. See that our own High Schools are represented. Write to our friends in other Colleges to come over and cele brate with us. Volunteer to help Prof. Bar bour with decorations, He can use a dozen students on Satur days, and two dozen on Febru ary 14th. , When the day comes : Go to the Lansing on the morning of the 15th. Spend the afternoon on the campus : Showing visitors through the departments. Calling on the ladies of the Faculty. Attending the Governor's re ception. In the evening, let there be any number of little parties and receptions among ourselves, and for our younger guests. Many of these will not stay over Fri day night, so this will be the only opportunity for social pleas ure. Let resident students throw open their homes. Let us turn the Lansing over to the Alumni, invited guests and citizens all 'of whom, as old pupils or friends, have a peculiar interest neAra I ...

If some should give way, it should be, the later students. Friday is our day ! Let us; pack the Lansing from pit to gallery ! Let us give our fellowvj students who are to speak to us, to sing for us, and to play before . us, a roval greeting. Not bois- terous, "though well meaning but hearty, and filled with kindly 1 appreciation.

Her Little Hand. I held her little hand in mine, The hand I loved so well; And how I loved her face divine I vainly tried to tell. And as we spoke of hopes so bright, And both our futures planned, I held her little hand so tight, I held her little hand. But, O, how much I was deceived, My days of bliss were short, For all my tender notes received An airing in the court. And now my darling cuts a swell On damages so grand, She played her little hand so well, She played her little hand. Did you eversituplateatnightand cram,4 When you thought for sure that you would have exam? And you only sat and groaned When you heard it was postponed, Aud you murmured, "What a blooming jay I am. And did you ever go out skating at "the pahk" When you met a host of co-eds in a flock? You were just to raise, your hat When you ran into some brat, And you swept off all the ice for half a block. The football teams-lost money on nearly ever' scheduled game this fall, and . still the Western I Association hums merrily on. 1 S KAN LAW NOTES.

Snort services were held Saturday morning at 'the 1 home of his sister, Twelfth and R streets, where he had lived. The remains were then taken to the home of his parents at Au burn, accompanied by student friends. Mr. Harmon was a capable and estimable young man, and the students of the Law School extend their sympathy to his bereaved parents. Athletic Meeting. An important and, strangeMq-' say, peaceful meeting of the Ath letic association was held last Saturday at 1 1 o'clock. It was decided to accept the oiler of the Kansas City Athletic club for an interstate field-da' if they would alter their condiion slight ly. They offer the colleges, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska, sixty-five per cent uf the net receipts. It is the opinion of the Nebraska A. A. that this should be made sixty-five per cent of the gross receipts or a No. .9. guarantee of" expense;. Some changes were suggested in the program. It was thought best to omit the pole-vaults, the re lay race, and putting the 56 pound shot. This would leave the 50 and 100 yard, the quar ter mile, half mile, and mile runs, the standing and run ning broad and high jumps, put ting the 16-pound shot, throwing the 16-pound hammer rtnd hur- die race. Boxing and wrest- count for ints cup will be given to the college win ning most points. A motion was made to appoint a committee to draft a new con- stitution for the association. This constitution is to put the general supervision of athletic afiairs into the hands of an advisory board composed of members of the faculty, the alumni and the association. This would take ef fect next year. Official saction was also given .. . -, , been organized as loiiows: 1. "..,.. A r"oftr.l-l rMi.nrtii.iri . o A A. Canfield, Chairman ; C. A.

Tickets should be purchased at once so that the possibility of having to go out side the Uni. to make the affair a financial success may be re moved. This is the only part of the celebration, so far, which is entirely in Jlhu handftfjtoeslu "dents. It should be made a "howling" success. Ninety new rifles have been received by the military depart ment. These have been issue a to non-coms, and old cadets. The battalion is now fully armed for the first time this year. The next fine day the battalion will be divided into eight com panies and drilled in battalion drill. Vacancies in the officers' roll CONTINUED ON FOURTH PAGE, - . d HAkiM
