Thoio nic a number ofstu douls from Iowft In tliu t'nivcrsity and if tills club was formed it would bo u means of putting tlio young men and women better orgniiircd. A lMtw songs have been promised us for publication next week. These are now in the course of erection and prom ise to be unusually bright and catchy. If you want your songs to be in our next issue hand them in as soon as possible. Tint Missouri game promises to be the mail interesting one of the season. It is now assured for Omnha on the date scheduled, one week from tomorrow. A fi.io rate has been secured, and if you are out for a good time, belter come along. Thh University of Nebraska is to be congratulated upon the circumstances which have combined to make the foot ball situation what it now is. The sec ond eleven is thoroughly organized. The eirects of the Hastings game can be seen in their improved team work. The first eleven has just returned from n victorious trip, with all men compara tively sound. Ducking against three dif ferent and well organized tennis has given them experience which is very valuable. They return to find a second eleven which will give them some hard tussles. With the rivalry for positions and the new material on the field, the prospects nre indeed bright. Ii any reform is to be made in our po litical system, the students of our uni versities and colleges are expected to do it. It is here that we look for that germ of higher intelligence which is to lift that system above its present degraded state to one of purity and excellence. After waiting'twenty-one longyearsfor that privilege which is the right of every American citizen, il is natural that the possessor should be bursting with impa tience to use it. Is this true of univer sity students in general, that class of people which is expected to use it with such effect? No. Too much bound up in college affairs, they do not seize that opportunity which is a step in the devel opment of manhood. They nre content simply in the knowledge of the posses sion of that right. Hy n recent decision of the supreme court the right of the student to vote at his college residence was aillrmed. 'JJhis decision affects a large number of Ne braska University students. They ought to take advantage of it. They cannot too soon take that step which marks the beginning of their right to ex ercise the power of the ballot. We do not enre whether you nre re publican, democrat or populist, but get out and vote if you have the right. It is not only your privilege, but your duty. While you are attending the University at Lincoln you can vote in Lincoln. Onh object of the Ladies' Faculty club is to promote culture among university students. This is an object which can not be too readily attained. We have been censured for our lack of culture. Visitors have been heard to remark upon the absence of it, It is noticeable to even the most careless observer. The impression has naturally gone abroad that we are n set of clod-hoppers, fresh from the verdant country. Is there not some foundation for such an impression? Is that gentle, manly politeness which should distinguish the college-bred man not lacking? At any rate it is not so prevalent as to cause visitors to remark upon it. Because a great number of our stu dents are sous of farmers, is no reason for their retaining the uucouthness atid roughness which characterized them at their entrance to the University, There is no reason why the farmer youth should be different in his manners from the city bred youth, but as a rule he is, In many cases the man reared in the most cult ured home is a regular hoodlum without its confines. In many cases we find the true gentleman under the rough exterior of the farmer. Hut we have both the city-bred youth, with manners as rough as his clothes are genteel looking: we have the farmer with manners as rough as his exterior indicates. Mingling with their fellow men does not seem to effect them. They come to college as clod hoppers and hoodlums and they go away as such. There is no better place than college halls to secure that polish, that rounding olF of the rough corners. Theic is no place where the attributes of a tine gent leman are more noticeable than within its pottals there is no place where these accomplishments can be easier attained than in association with the uieiubeis of this college world. It is individually and collectively that this social culture is lacking. l,et us look to the individual part first. What a vast room for improvuinunt in some of us! I,et it be noticeable in speech and action! BOMB ARTISTIC DB8CRIPTION0. Tho following aro Hitinplus of what the various classes produced in Unit .study, Hngllsh !!, in response to this re quest that a thonio of !UX) words of ar tistic dcscilptioti bo handed in by each one. These specimens were selected at random. 1 I-T.OM TIIU KltKSMMAN. A description of :t()0 words may bo long or short. It nil depends upon Urn words and the way a fellow feels. Three hundred words are funny things. Lf they were all piled on top of each other they would roach from the floor to tho ceiling of tho Co-op (if tho Co-op had not been swpt lately). Joined longitudinally, if written by a senior, thoy would equal in length the red tape of all the departments, including the Knglish. lf written by a sophomore-- but tho sophomore would crib his. There me many kinds of words, for wards, backwards and afterwards. You study all about these in English 1. Hut I don't see what the prof, wants with a description of 5100 words. Ho didn't say what :t00 words he wanted. 1 suppose ho meant any old words. Three hundred words in general but there is only one word in general and so 1 will not say anything about it. Dictionaries have words. Diction aries are good things, bt cause I saw Smith pushing them along tho library shelves. If it wasn't for words we couldn't talk and 1 think that ought to be pushed along fur some people. Words are used to express thoughts. Some people try to express their trunks with words, but tho bnggemastor don't look at it that way. Money talks with them, but it don't talk words. Money will express some people's words to the publisher, but ho don't express them back the olllco boy does this. This expression of words is a delicate sub ject. KKOM Till'. SOPH. Tho Hot Taiualo man sat on tho curbstone of a busy corner. It was night. If it wasn't tho lIotTamale man would not have been there. No sound broke iho silence of the stilly night. Thoonlj noise of this nature to be heard was tho money rattling on tho counter of a neighboring saloon, and it told the Hot Tamalo mail that one more youth was broke. liehind him tho whistle of a dago's peanut stand whistled busily. Tho big beetles flying against tho electric light fell ever and anon witli that dull, sickening thud, peculiar to some bugs. Tho sissages boiled merrily in tho old rusty pan nailed upon tho framo of a baby carriage. Now the Salvation Army passed, singing in Unit loud and voluptuous tone, "Over There, Over Thorol" As tho strain died away and the chunks of silence once more settled about tho head of the Hot Tomato Man, he roused himself as from a rovery and blatted out in a tone equally as loud and vol uptious, Ovorliorel Over here! You can got your hot tomales over bore." FKOM THIS JUNIOK. Ho stood at tho casemented window. All was still. Suddenly he turned around of his chair in front of him. His oyeB flashed a ten dollar bill, and striking his room mato for a loan, lie sunk beneath tho foaming pillows. Ho was a touching fellow. Without the night was falling fast. Reaching to catch it, ho caught cold, ami turning lie hit tho pipe. Hefore retiring ho wound the clock. It Hound ed like a river winding to and fro. Grinding his teeth in a coffee mill his countenoneo fell. Fiercely ho cast his eyes upon the floor and tot tliom lay there Tho janitor swept them out tho next morning, lie called tho turn and opening a jack pot started to retire. It was at this juncture that, gazing out of the window, ho saw a freshman go past witli a swinging gall. It was not Hal lowe'en so tho policeman ran him in. That was all. Ho blew tho lamp outof the whitlow and all was si ill. KHOM 'l 1 1 K STItONOSKNIOU. 1 had seen him often, a stout, port able man he was, with an oratuud face, dark hair and eyes and correct carriage. Many times ho had wondered past my oillce tloor, seeking, I thought, a mor antic and seluded spot, thoro to invest li mself of his contain! deluge himself in a quiet smoke, lie seemed Boat rest and Intent with the world that I wanted to denounce a euology over lilm then and there. A COLLUDE SETTLnMBWI. A movement is on foot among the members of the Christian associations and the faculty to establish a "college settlement" in Lincoln. The work of the college settlement as carried on in Chicago, Omaha and other cities is be ing looked into ami studied to Hud the most elllcient methods. As a start in this direction, the Christian associa tions are conducting a Sunday school at Ninth and V. streets, and are also holding evening services at the same place. The work of the college settle ment proper is more in the line of liv ing among the people and showing them how to live a better, more pros perous ami purer life. This latter part of the work is being looked after more especially by the faculty, and will bo put upon a pel million basis. It is hoped that tho Christian associations ami the faculty can work together in this mat ter, ami so tlo more elllcient work than could be done working separately. OPEN SESSION OF U, D. D. C. All open session of IT. H. D. C. will bo hold in the chapel Friday evening. Owing to tho joint piogram Saturday evening tho litoMry societies will not meet Friday. Tho Union boys have been making arrangements for tills meeting for some time and have taken this opportunity which seems so favor able. A list of subjects has been posted, and each speaker as ho rises to adtlress tho chair will be handed his subject. Tho discusson will thus bo impromptu in every way. Visitors at the races to bo held at Lincoln Park, Oct. !sth to November 1, aro not going to bo fleeced. The price of admission lias been fixed at llfty cents, which includes grand stand seats, privilege of the quarter stretch and ve hicles. Tlie fastest horses on the turf will bo entered, among them Alix and Directly. Spectators aro assured their money's worth. R. BRUCE MAGEE, l Scientific Optigap. 1105 O STREET, LINCOLN, NEB.
