The students who honvd the lec ture o Miss Effio Trice Inst year will roinombor the few words sho spoko about our lack of culture. This was a sorry rebuke to an in stitution of such ranking as ours is, and her words ought to hnvo had some effect, but though a year has elapsed no visible improve ment has been made in this part of our education. And this is one of the most im portant attainments supposed to be gained by a college career. Do we pay sufficient nttention to this? If we did, it would not strike a visitor as the only fault sho could find to criticize. This evil is not confined to the lower classmen, but some of our more or less dignified seniors would stand a good chance of winning the first prize should one be offered to the individual ex celling in the lack of culture. This fault is nowhere more no ticeable than in our manner of conversation. We pass over with out comment such mistakes us "seen," "have did," have went," "I done," etc. It would be quite useless to point out mistakes to this class of people. They are beyond reform if they have at tained the dignity of college life and still cling to such kindergar ten forms of speech. It is tho more dignified forms of mistakes we must pay attention to. It is too late to hope for the correction of the others. The expression "between you and I" is frequent ly heard c about the halls. This sounds like the speaker was try ing to talk properly and did not know how. 'These kind," "differ with" and dozens of other mis takes equally as harsh soundiug to the ear, are uttered without the loast compunction. If those things strike visitors who spend only tin hour or two in our midst as our greatest fault, is it not time wo put a stop to it? It rests solely with the students themselves. If wo are to train ourselves by our college course in the way we should go, we should do it tho right way. Among the now organizations of tho University has been formed the Omaha club If there is any place in tho shite from which our University ought have patronage, it is the Metropolis on tho Big Muddy. Tho members of this club have been doing some good work. They have made them selves obnoxious to tho "Oinnliu delegation" in their attempts to urge on the library bill. Thus for they have received but little en couragement from cither hand. But thoy lmvo the best wishos from all our students who appre ciate the work tho mombors of tho club havo dono and nil thov will do in the future. Every ono hopes that the Euro pean tour may bo a cortninty this summer. Tho ono planned for tho summor of '90, will bo doubly bonoficial to our Alma Mater from tho fnct thnt awheel parly attracts much moro attention than an ordi nary tourist party. Thk Nkhkas kak wishes overyono ablo to make tho trip a prolitablo and pleasant time. May it bo devoid of mis haps, but roploto with plonsinr advonturos! After much worry and trouble coupled with a devastating bom bardment of questions, Managor Cooley is at last ablo to state offici ally, that tho Dramatic club will moko its appoaranco March 25th. The club ncods all the encourage ment the students can all'ord. See that tho house is not empty on that occasion. Holp to fill it by purchasing a couple of tickets. Don't think it will hurt tho pride of tho members of the base ball team if you make them a liberal donation. It will not. This is official. Nor is it meet that we send the boys on a tour clothed in rags as our football team was last year. Lot tho subscriptions bo liberal and numerous, Our bns ball team has yet to be spoiled by popular applause. The procuring of white duck trousers by the battalion will cer tainly be tho right thing. Tho expense will be so very light that nearly every man will be able to to purchase them. This improve ment will add greatly to the looks of the battalion on dress parade and will add to tho popularity of the cadets wherever thoy go. If the spirit moves any one to write a college song, then lot tho song be made public. We are in need of such a thing something of real worth and original should bo produced from the material wo havo hero. The Keuhaskan is ready to publish anything in this line, if it contains any merit at all. It is to bo hoped that our Uni versity can send a track team to Kansas City this spring to win some laurels in the athletic fiold. We would like to show tho world that we can do something besides play football, and that wo can ex cel in what they are pleased to call "a more manly test of skill." May he it is not ono of the "Functions of a Collogo Paper" to present such things to its read ers as tho grammatical errors we make, yet as tho onglish depart ment has strayed from its path in telling us "how it ought to bo dono" wo hope wo have not en croached upon their territory to any extent The state contest occurs next week and tho university should turn out in a body to support its orator. As long as wo are in tho association, let us do all in our power to win. A multitude of yells and songs should be ready for the occasion and turned loose at the proper momonts. It 18 timo ovory ono knows that in writing an article for publica tion, but ono side oC tho paper should bo used. Quito a fow more or loss worthy publications wore consigned to tho NkhhaskaN's waste basket Inst wok on this account. Sermonettus. It is a strango thing that whis poring and giggling and foolish jesting may not be stopped for at loast five short niinutos during the day. Hut it seonis that it cannot. Even while prnyor is being offered during chapel tho ill timed fun goes on. It shows to say the least the grossost irroverenco and lack of character. Thoughtless- ss is ploadod in oxeuso, but ladies and gentlomeu aro not thoughtless. Another thing that looks bad is tho wild and unseemly scramble as soon tho ''anion'' has fallen from the loader's lips. All the solemnity of tho prayer is taken nwny by the noisy exit from the chapel. There is lots of time. No need to rush as though lifo and death depended upon it Ct you must save time, save a litt e of that time you spend down in tho halls talking silly nothings. The fnct that it is hardly safe to leave a hat hanging on a peg in the hall sponks voluiims ns to the honor and character of tho students. When hat stealing is common among colloge bred men what can you expect among tho ignorant classes ? Surely wo have not come to the state university to take a course in tho deft art of picking pockets! Young men, attend tho 4 o'clock meetings o-7 tho Y. M. 0. A., on Saturday afternoons. They will do you good, make you moro man ly, make you purer and better. Do not bo afraid of being too good, no ono evor succeeded in doing that yet. It tnkes more real true manhood to live n christian life than it does to stand by and sneer at tho Y. M. O. A, boys. D. Lincoln Frame aud Art Co. 226 So. 11th Street.
