The Xebkaskax wants to vnise
nn objection right bore, to the
amount of tho initiation fee pro
vided for in tho now constitution.
One dollar is entirely too much.
What does membership amount to
anyway, in our Athletic associa
ation ? Simply tho right to vote.
And if there was not a political
scrap of some kind on hand, tho
membership would amount to
nothing. What privileges have
those enjoyed who paid their ini
tiation fee last fall? When the
foot ball was brought upon the
field, did they have a right to punt
it more often than tho fellow who
did not join tho association not
that anybody noticed. Have they
any privileges to enter contests,
use apparatus, etc., which are not
enjoyed by every student?
This is an evil that should be
corrected at once. Members of
the Athletic association should
ey are ta oinoy some
UDTSTS
If the Athletic as
sociation wanTs a donation of one
'dollar from every one, let them
ask us for it, and not deceive tho
giver by granting him something
which he is not to receive.
We do not moan to speak ill in
any way of tho Athletic associa
tion, but we ask tho students to
correct this evil. Let membership
to our Athletic association moan
something beside tho right to
vote in a "political scrap."
Last Sunday Prof. Adams de
livered a lecture before tho Christ
ian Association on ''Justice." He
spoke of many different kinds of
injustice, especially applying his
subject to student life, but there
is ono form of injustice which ho
seemed to omit almost purposely.
Thut is the injustice of students
to professors.
The student is pleased to think
and say that ho comes constantly
in contact with some of tho
strongest and most cultured
minds. Most students try to tnke
work under as many diiferent
professors as possible in order to
get the personal influence of a
greater number of educated men.
Yet there is a deplorable tendency
among students to bo unjust to
professors in many woys. Not so
much in mean, contemptible little
tricks and deceptions which any
true student would scorn to in
dulge in, but in matters which not
only hurt the student but often
the professor as well.
Wherovoi a band of students is
discussing a professor, it is tho
oxcoption to bear hie good quali
ties mentioned, while ifAio has
any weak point, any peculiarity,
in fact any individuality, those
matters aro givon an abundant
amount of attention. If a profos
sor is a littlo slow ho is a ' fossil,"
no mattor what his ability and ro
llnoinont is. If ho is onthusiaBtie
ho is a 'crank.'' If ho i3 deep
and studious ho is dry." Tho
weak points obscuro all tho sense.
Tho peculiarities becomo jests
ralhor than tho noble traits be
come objects of commendation.
Not only is tho professor dono
an injustice by this, his reputation
belittled, and his work rotiudod,
but tl:o student who indulgos in
this troatmont of his professor is
allowing a depraved taste, is living
on the husk and wasting tho ker
nel, is treating his professor as ho
would not think of treating his
friends, is in fact cutting off tho
limb on which ho is sitting, bo
tween himself and tho tree.
Last week sixty-five students
completed a two weeks' course in
tho science of meteorology under
Professor Sweezoy. The institu
tion consisted of lectures on tho
use of the instruments used in the
work of tho weather service and
practical lessons in weather fore
casting. This is a step in tho right di
rection. Too many intelligent
people make skeptical remarks
about the forecasts issued daily
from tho weather office. Tele
graphic data of tho meteorological
conditions in all parts of tho coun
try is received daily at tho univor-
i "
sity weather station. 1ms is placed
upon maps which are posted at
convenient points. With a littlo
TiMim nny.nno .with ordinoj
lnTol licence miirht make his own
w (j - -
forecast from this data, which is
no more nor less than the official
forecaster at the office uses.
There are also man7 things in
teresting and instructive to bo
learned about tho great work that
the United States weather service
is now doing. The load that
Professor Swoezey has made
should be followed up and this
subject added, as an elective, to
the curriculum next year.
Oun students are all ready to
stand up for our repiesentative
who has been treated in such a
shabby manner by the Oratorical
association. It would be an empty
honor indeed to win tho laurels
at a state contest and then for the
victor to find it necessary to pay
his own expenses as Nebraska's
delegate to tho inter-state contest.
No ono can condemn Mr. Wing
for taking the position he has.
At any rate he has secured him
self. If the amount of the pro
ceeds from to-night's entertain
ment is not enough to get the
association out of debt, the va
rious colleges which compose it
should bo assessed and tho re
quired amount raised.
Let us not think of withdraw
ing from tho association while it
is under this cloud.
TnE state oratorical contest is
coming off to-night ut the Puuke.
Fellow students and friends, bo
sure to come out. -Bring your
banners and tin horns along, and
your very freshest voices. We
are hoping to win, so bring all
your enthusiasm along to cele
brate tho victory.
Hurrah for Sherman!
Whenever ono class organiza
tion in this groat university of
ours givos a rocoption, class party
or banquot, it uooins to bo an un
writton law that all tho under
classmen should combino and
raiso a disturbance. A whilo ago
tho souiorB had a mooting in tho
conservatory. A lot of juniors
soomod to think it necossary to
steal any and all tho wraps avail
able and carry thorn off, and when
it was possiblo, to ambush and
waylay any soniors who might be
nttainablo. Tuesday ovening of
last week tho freshmen and sopho
moro classes bold a joint rocoption
in tho conservatory. Promptly in
obedionco to this old custom,
about thirty or forty ' preplets "
camo around and bowled about
the building, but contented them
selves with throwing gravel
against tho windows and stealing
four overcoats. It is a barbarous
custom and should be abolished..
It seems strange that in a college
whoro class distinctions aro nom
inally extinct there should be
such detestable customs kept up.
No lo-al student will refuse his
subscription to the Nebraska
Literary Magazine, when tho
business manager simply asks him
to chalk his name down. There
is no Annual this year the
Junior class was wise in deciding
not to ask the school to support it
during the money stringency.
But surely no student has a com
plaint against the expense of a
magazine. The board have striven
to put the price down to the low
est notch possible and have so far
succeeded that they only ask
twenty-five cent a- ncopy. Let
every student secure one for him
self, ono for his sister and one for
the "other fellow's sister." Such
is the prayer of tho Nehsaskan.
