Why nut oi'Miilo an I own club in the

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.
