Tho nnnunl Rleo club oxnmlnntlon
will tivkc place some lny next wcok. The
oxnot Umo will be announced on the
bulletin board. It Is to bo hoped that
cvry man, now or old, who has a voice
will be on hand. Tho examination will
be a simple one and you will stand
Just as Rood a show as anyone else.
We want to see ovory man In the uni

It Is a Rcnulno pleasure to watch tho
genial handshake our new executive
offers to tho humblest vlyltor at his
olllce. It is raroly that one in so dig
nified a position as chancellor of the
university moots those under his charge.
on the same free democratic basis. Yot
this Is rart of the new executive's char-
actor. It is not to last during the first
few months of greeting It Is not put on
for the occasion. It Is just a manifesta
tion of that fellowship which ho feels
for those with whom he comos In con
tact It Is a trait In his character which
every student will appreciate.
Everybody remembers ,tno onthusl
asm which was aroused last year by
means of songs published in The Ne
braskan. While the football season Is
approaching why cannot every pa
trlotlcally inclined studont set himself
at work composing some catchy words
to some popular air? The scheme, pro
posed but a week before we went to
Omaha at the Thanksglvlng-day game
'"Tast year, worked very well indeed.
Every person who went enjoyed himself
the more from the reason that the songs
had been learned.
The Nebraskan is ready with its
"space" to publish all creditable compo
sitions. Let everyone make an effort.
It is not very iiard work and no
gei.' is" is necessary. A little common
nenst is all that need be employed.
Now let's see what you can do.
Please notice the great Improvement
that has been made in the appearance
of The Nebraskan. The smaller type
accounts for it. Of course, it costs a
little more, but it gives us much more
space. By actual measurement there
Is more than twice as much type "set
up" in our issue this year than there
was in the llrst issue last year.
Now this fact should be taken advan
tage of by every student and professor.
We have lots of room to print communi
cations from heads of departments and
they are invited to use our columns.
Poetically-inclined individuals stand a
much better show of seeing their ar
ticles In print, as poetry should be print
ed in small type. Last year many
really worthy productions went into the
waste basket instead of the printers'
hands, on account of the extra charge.
The Nebraskan prefers news matter
to all other, but Ave want everything in
teresting that can be secured, whether
it be a personal, local, sermon, obituary
or Joke. Let us have them.
The Athletic association has Its regu
lar annual meeting Saturday, Septem
ber 28. This means that every loyal
student should be on hand and
vote.
In former years a prospective scrap
between barbarian and fraternty fac
tions has been a drawing card. Indeed
it seemB that this method Is the only
one that can be successfully employed
to bring out a full attendance at the
athletic meetings. At this time there
does not seem to be much activity in
this direction, but it will probably crop
out before Saturday morning. JSvory
student owes it to his college to at
tend this meeting and he should be
there. Let the college politics be elim
inated this year, and let the votes caBt
for the various officers be done from a
eenBe of duty inBtead of partisan feel
ing. We want same good, clean, able
men to manage our athletic nffnlrs and
It Is tho BtudontB' duty to seo that
they are placed in power. Lot tho can
didates bo selected according to their
fitness for tho position and vote accord
ingly,
Members of the Pershing Wiles will
go Into tho company with their eyes
opon this year. There Is no use falling
down again, as wo did last June. Hut
there are sovoral lessons to bo drawn
from tho failure. The principal one Is
that tho cadots must depend upon
themselves. No one else Is going to
guarantco nny expenses, oven If there
Is a "sure (thing" of getting It back.
Articles of Incorporation wore adopted
and nied Inst year, which will admit
the Pershing miles to nny of the com
potlvo drills that may take plnco. If
nil the members start In this year with
tho understanding that it will cost
them thirteen or twenty dollars nplooe
for new uniforms and other expenses,
tho question of entering some of the
drills will not need to be so seriously
and doubtfully considered. Everyone
will bo anxious to have tho Pershing
Ulflos as well drilled this year as they
woro last. The organization has boon
a credit to the school. Most of Its mem
bers have returned and It Is hoped that
the company will bo organized at onco
and active drill begun.
Everyone goes about congratulating
himself those days bocauso C. L. Thom
as has been secured to coach the foot
ball team.
Mr. Thomas is no stranger to tho mem
bers of the team and Its friends. They
remember when they met him last
fall on the grid-Iron with Doane's forces
at his back. They also remember the
"heady" way in which he managed
them a little too hondy for pleasant
recollections. But further than this,
he aided Crawford In coaching tho boys
for the Iowa game and tho superb inter
ference which won the plaudits of the
orowd (and also the game) was largely
due to his planning and energy.
Ho Is a man of wide experience In
his work. After graduating from Ann
Arbor where he played end, ho was se
cured by tho Baker team. Under his
care this team made its famous record
during the fall of 94. We know what
he made of the eleven male students
last year who attended Doane college,
so no one need be surprised if he turns
out a superb team this year for the
U. of N.
Around the Campus.
The Amateur Thespian was sitting on
a well-worn campus bench when the
ladies' man and the star idiot came
along. Thero seemed to be no good
reason why any any of them should be
doing bench work for the day was far
from pleasant. The Amateur Thespian
came out because smoking was not al
lowed inside the buildings and tho la
dies' man was looking for someone to
speak to him. Tho star idiot did not
know exactly why he did come out, but
since he never had a motive for any
thing it did not matter much.
The walks were full of people hurry
ing to and from the buildings and
nearly everyone spoke to the Amuteur
Thespian as they hurried by, partly be
cause everyone knew him and partly
because they hoped to be members ol
the dramatic club if they treated the'
old stagers with proper respect. None
of the boys spoke to the ladles' man, al
though some of the girls returned ids
bow not with much effusion, however,
for he was even too ridicuously senti
mental to suit the girls (which is suy
lug a great deal). He was the boys'
idea of ladles' mannot the girls'. Of
course, .no one noticed the star idiot,
lie was always present, always talking
and always ignored.
The Amateur Thespian had taken his
cigar between his lingers and was blow
ing rings of amoke for the diversion of
his audience, when the banjo fiend
slapped him on the back and spoiled the
effect. The Amateur Thespian was
surprised to see him out doors, because
they were in the same class at that
hour (that is, they should have been
there), but he did not show his astonish
ment because he never uhowed any of
his emotions. The true explanation of
the banjo fiend's presence was because
he had on a new suit and wished to
display it to the very best advantage.
"Why do those two girls always go
together?" asked the ladles' man, look
ing at the perfect blonde and the prin
cess Pocahontas, as they paBsed by,
arm in arm.
"Because neither of them can find
anyone else to go with, I suppose," said
tho banjo llond. They had not noticed
his now milt and It made him feel 111
tetnporcd. "No," said tho Amateur Thespian, who
had hitherto been smoking In silence,
"that Is not the reason."
"Why Is It?" asked tho ladles' man.
"Oh, It Is not very difficult to see,"
obsorved the Amateur Thespian, blow
ing some more rings Into tho air to
show how little ho wns Interested In
either the subject or tho girls.
"What Is tho renson thon?" queried
the star Idiot. In his high rnsplng voice.
"I'll give It up" naturally ho would
"give It up," since he always did that
way with everything. He hnd given up
his first nnd only grain of Intellect on
tho day ho wns born nnd ho had cheer
fully parted with ovorythlng olse slnco
then. Ho wns the sort of person who
would sell his birthright for a moss
of pottngo If his birthright had any
commercial vnluo.
"Why merely because they nre so
very different," said tho Amntour Thos
plnn easily. "You pee that one Is so
dark and the other so light that each
shows the other off remarkably well,
so they go togothor In order that their
charms niny have tho proper notice."
"That Is a groat scheme said the
Bnnjo Fiend onthuslastk-nlly, "but why
don't the blonde get n homely brunette
to ehnse with nnd the brunette chum
with somo wnshed-out blonde. As It
is now they can't show each other off
In that way." The Bnnjo Fiend hnd
some experience In managing a club
nnd wns therefore right up on nny
question of schemes.
"O that Isn't necessary" answered
the Amnteur Thespian lightly. "You
see each one Is so sure that she is tho
betta looking that thty are pilViUy
satlsfled. It's a common falling among
girls, that little vanity."
Tho ladles' man suddenly got up and
mnde for a little group a few rods away,
the star idiot followed him of course.
It was the politic maid surrounded by
the shy youth, tho prospective cap
tain, the gilded fool and the quarter
back. The politic maid greeted the
newcomers In her cordial way which
meant absolutely nothing.
For a few minutes the banjo fiend and
the Amatuer Thespian sat in silence.
Then suddenly the banjo fiend jumped
to his feet. "By jinks," he exclaimed
excitedly, "did you ever see anything
like that before? Tho politic maid is
actually giving all her attention to the
quarter back. Can she have changed
her tactics?" It cortanly did look
queer for the politic maid was never
known to smile on any one boy more
than another and especial attention
was a thing she never Indulged In. The
Amatuer Thespian was so Interested
that he actually turned around to
look.
"O," said he, "that is easily explain
ed. Look there!" and he pointed at the
Princess Pocahontas, who was looking
sudly down on the group from the top
of the east stops. "That is simply the
improved game of "freeze out" and (as
lie took the last puff on his cigar and
threw It over the sidewalk) if there
isn't Home pulling of hair before tomor
row morning, may I never live to play
Hamlet."
H. S.
Kansas university is having its turn
at being raked over the coals. An in
vestigation committee reports needless
expenditures, claiming the professors
receive too large salaries and do too
little work, and that the authorities
are striving to make Kansas univers
ity rival Harvard and Yale when the
state can't btand it financially.
Harvard bests Yale In debate as reg
ularly as 1'ale bostB Harvard in boat
ing and football, but Yale used to be,
and probably still is, considered as a
much more fruitful mother of success
ful politicians than Harvard is. Are we
to argue from that that the ability to
buck the center is more useful in Amer
ican politics than the power of forcel
ble debate? Harper's Weekly.
