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."

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.
