Thoro litis bcon more or less ad vice given to tho students of the university, lutoly, concerning their expenditures during the coming year, and it has been urged upon them from different sources that ex penses should be cut to tho lowest iiguro in every way. This is good doctrine, but why it should bo set forth by tho Chancel lor and not practiced b' the Faculty is difficult to understand. It seems that the professors in the various departments have enlarged the ex "' 'Ml,,;.s of thoso under their instruc And i instead of decreasing them, xhis is especially true of the Eng lish department To the casual ob server it would appear that last year very satisfactory work was performed when the freshmen re quired only one text book, and the preparatory classes none. This year in addition to another text book, costing $1.25, the freshmen are riaired to purchase "helps." Further than this, many are re quired to take this work, when justly they are entitled to credit for it, because they have gone over it, in the high school from which they graduated. This is especially true of the Omaha High school where Rhetoric is compulsory throughout the whole four years' course. Two recitations a week, arc held except in the last year when every day recitations are re quired. During this time about twenty-four themes are handed in which are carefully examined by competent instructors. Another extra tax was levied upon tho freshmen in the depart ment of mathematics, when a change in text books was ordered. Seventy-five cents (which would pay a subscription for tho Nebras kan) was added here, while last year's students would have been able to dispose of their old ones at good prices. The members of the class of 1900 now have the distinc tion of being tho first ones to use a text book in tho English depart ment, costing a goodly sum. Other costly changes have been made of which mention need not be made. It is not the purpose of The Ne BitASKAN to cry down any improve ment which might be attained by the purchaser of additional text books and other students' supplies, but it might not have occurred to the professors who have suffered no diminution in their salaries, that the allowance of hundreds of students has been cut down to far below what they received last year. When the books are ordered for the next semester, it is to be hoped that the changed conditions of of many of the students will be taken into account and allowance made accordingly. In ono of tho editorial columns of a local daily of recent Issue, tho roport of President Croan, of tho Western Normal university was published and favorably com mented upon. Tho roport showed that ovor 1,500 different students had enrolled at that institution last your, against 1,721 tho year before. To thoso unacquainted with Profes sor Croan's methods, some explana tion of why this school should enroll moro than tho State University, is necessary. In tho first place tho word "different " should he omit ted; then it must bo remembered that there aro live terms at this academy and every student is re quired to register anew at the be ginning of each one. The regis tration is computed by numbering consecutively each name as it is enrolled, and tho last number on the list is supposed to bo the en rollment for the year. Add to this, a rathor oratic way of counting which is in vogue at that place running something like this, one, two, three, live, six, seven, eleven, etc., and you arrive at tho grand total as given to tho press. The statement that $200,000 is annually expended among Lincoln merchants by students or tho Western Normal college is preposterous. During the summer it will bo remembered, the chancellor re ceived a tempting offer from the University of Ohio should he accept tho position of chancellor of that in stitution. After a slight considera tion this offer was refused, though the increaso in his salary would have amounted to something like $1,500 per year. It was the chan cellor's loyalty to this institution that impelled him to stay with us. The interest he has taken in his century class, would not permit him to leave it at this time. Nearly everyone possesses a cer tain loyalty for the institution for which ho works, but an offer of $1,500 increaso in his salary per year, would generally be a suffi cient amount to buy up whatever stock of loyalty he may have on hand. Some mark of appreciation is due the chancellor for his loyal deed. The students of tho univer sity should see that this is done at once. Freddy Barnes can now write his name preceded by "Prof." since he is a professional. When electrocution is introduced in China, such names as Lee Hung Chang will be abolished. Owing to the approaching foot ball season, Col. Hardy says he has a hard time working the bar bers for ads. Professor Barber is of the opinion that the use of the editoral pro noun is merely a display of "we gotism," instead of "egotism." Every body vote for the Uni boys, Frank Eager and Fred Shep herd, regardless of party. They will stand up for the Uni and they are the kind we want. An eastern book concern sent a package containing fifty Sixth read ers to the university last week. They must have an exalted opinion of the high standard of Nebraska's seat of learning in the east. The new book "Flora of Ne braska" edited by the members of the botanical seminar, is destined to take its place beside such noted productions as "Mr. Potter of Texas,, and "Mr. Barnen of New York." Til 18 UNIVKKSITY SI3NATK. Now Organization Formed Utttlur Auspicious Clreun:- HtlUICCH. A now university organization was ushered into tho world Satur day night when about, twenty-live boysot tlievhool got together and adopted a constitution and by-laws for a University Senate. rlho en thusiasm wihoh was displayed gives flattering prospects for a brilliant future for tho senate. The meeting was a very interest ing one owing to the fact that tho organization of a new society is always accompanied by doubts and misgivings and more or less calam ity howling is produced generally to the benelit of all. The first meeting was no exception to this rule and the wrangling, argumenta tion and extempore debuting which was indulged in was sufficient to keep the young men's wits sharp ened until tho next meeting. Whether tho fact that tho boys or sonators will lead them into the bud ways, as told by tho news papers about this class of men re mains to bo seen, but they broko the record in one respect by actu ally accomplishing something. A constitution was abopted and offi cers elected for tho first session. Of course these things were duly discussed like real livo senators would do it. It was decided to have an open meeting twice a year at which the public is invited to be present. The constitution adopted, provides that any one endowed with the requis ite amount of good horse sense, will be eligible to membership re gardless of what other society or organization he belongs to. The method of procedure will be as much after the manner of tho United States senate as possible. The officers elected aro: , P. Tcele president, E. 11. Kring vice president, h, C. Smith secretary, J. A. Oilman treasurer and A. W. Carpontor sergeant at arms. Tho next meeting will bo held next Saturday evening in the chapel or Paladian hall, which all who aro interested, are cordially invited to attend. HETRICK'S CIGAR STORE.
