Any ono wishing to avoid tho Inconvenience of being "dunned", should notify tho business mnnnger before Jan uary 15. Tho awkwardness of the present plan of appropriating university funds should be called to th attention of tho members of tho legislature. All funds recolved by the regents for university purposes, except moneys accruing under tho provisions of tho Morrill nnd Hatch bills, must ilrst be turned into tho s.nto treasury und thon be appropriated by the legislature before they j can bo used. All proceeds from tho endow- ! mont fund; nil Incomes from university and agricultural college lands; all taxes levied by the stato for university purposes; and all matriculation, diploma and lab oratory fees go into tho stuto treasury and cannot bo used by tho regents until tho legislature appropriates them. Why should such a system bo main tained? It places tho university in a pe culiar position. Money that has been raised especially for tho university, and cannot bo used for any other purpose, must wait for tho sanction of tho legis lature before it can bo used. The statutes of the stato preset Ibo that all matricula tion fees "shall bo held ns a library fund." This fund cannot be used for any thing else, but beforo any books can bo bought U must bo appropriated by tho legislature. Why should tho legislature be burdened with this unnecessary registration? Tho plan of appropriation should bo simpli fied. All of these funds should pass di rectly Into tho hands of the regents and bo appropriated by them. Tho regents know where they are needed, they are ac quainted with the conditions of the Insti tution, and tho regents ought to be free to Invest these funds at tho time and In tho place where they nro really necessary. which do noi reflect credit upon himself or tho university, or dresses in a slouchy way with half 'his uniform, ho Is not con ducting himself properly toward his alma mater. It takes some people a long whllo to learn. The llttlo signs, "out" nnd "in" which ndorn the storm doors arc meant to guldo those who do not know right from left. The person who objects to having some ono olam n door in his face ns he starts to go out tho wrong one, gets his proper deserts. Tho advertisements which are to bo found In tho columns of tho Nebraskan aro to our personal knowledge, reliable. This year wo have solicited from nono but tho best. Though they may bo few everyono who gives them pnironago can feel that they will bo squarely dealt with. Whatever tho position Iowa has taken, It is quite certain that our annual game at Omaha will tako pluco as usuul.

A far westorn newspaper man has Tho unlvorslty of Wisconsin has a now literary society to bo known ns "Ydgras II." found reason for Yalo's defeat by Prince ton. "You will Insult our Bryan" ho ctles gleefully. Efforts nro being mado to start a col lego paper at Johns Hopkins, at present tho only largo Institution In tho country which has no student publication. Tho Harvard faculty refused to allow the glee club to go on a western tour dur ing the Christmas vacation. Tho Chi cago glee club came west, and Princeton as far as Iowa. Tho recent request for college slang I words, resulted In tho following list: Hull-up, bone, clnch, co-ed, cram, crib, fiend, flunk, fresh, f.lt, grind, grub, horse, Jolly, lunch-hooki, play horso with, pluck, play pony, prep, prune, quiz, ride, roast, sheopsklu, snap, stunt und trot.

Tho university authorities are to be commended for their action in establish ing check rooms for students' clothing. Although It comes rather late, and ns a necessity, still from present Indications, warm nnd costly clothing will be worn for somo weeks yet. The fortunate ones who yot havo overcoats left, can go to classos and recite without worrying and wondorlng whether thoy will have to go back to their rooms with no.hlng on tholr hacks. Now that tho rooms havo been put In working order, thoy should bo pat ronized liberally, as every tlmo n coat Is stolen, It does not advertise tho univer sity favorably. Now ',hat such nn ovont is mado impossible if tho propor caro Is taken, studonts should see that It does no; happen. Anyono who Is too lnzy to walk to tho basement for tho purpose of secur ity to Ills wourlng apparel, desorves to suffer by loss. Everybody should soon bo ready to lend their support and enthusiasm to baseball. Nebraska promises to show up well In this branch of athletics this year, nearly overyono of the old players aro back, and with the promise of having an efficient coach, our boys ought to lead tho other neighboring colleges a hard race for first place. It will tako good patronage at all tho homo games to meet expenses. This sport has more sanction from those out side of the university, than has football, and tho Btudents owo It to tho unlvorslty to seo that It Is properly supiorted. No ono can complain of the way the foot ball finances were managed this year. In THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS HOUSE. (Q. P. Putnam's Sons, Publishers. N. Y.) "Llfo Is at best a shadow on the wull That pleases children, death an Idle tale Of ghosts, told In tho nursery, when palo And low the lights burn." So says Mr. Prosser Hall Frj'o In "The Subsumed of his House", nnd to thoso who hold his vlow (Of llfo ajid death,, Mr. Fryo Is not only u poet but u seer. To those of more optimistic persuasion this book Is no less Interesting, us n strong exponent of a trend of thought very marked among a certain olass of writers at tho present time. The sympathies and energies of the poet nro not turned outward to vitalize things animate and inanimate. For us tho poem "Silence" questions; How shall I sing of pleasant new-mown Holds In summer afternoons: Or culm, hushed evenings, when tho sun light yields To low broad swaying moons; Or somo melodious song that clings about Tho busy, hum" throngs, How shall I sing, when 1 have aome to doulH Tho value of nil songs? And this questioning, "Probing, anil forovor probing with Its knife To loose tho secret centers at it eoro," Is tho burden not only of tho Initial poem, "Tho Substunoo of his House" -but of tho ontire book. In tho "Vision from Horuclltus" It Is tho refrain. "I uuw mysolf go down In tho dark, Tho dark that hovers round tho under world; Thon I paid, "Hero Is rest, Nirvana comes"; But there was no rest from tho ceaseless change on the weary drifting round Thoy keep a measure of self conscious ness i A torment to them through eternity Thon I cried in despair, "Is there no rest? Can no Nirvana como? Must wo go on Ever through circles of decay and growth Without a nothingness for tho decay, Without perfection for the ceaseless growth? Tho same distrustful questioning is turned upon lovo and youth and hope and aa the poot looks Inward, not out ward, so ho looks backward and not for- sent of the faculty, nnd It created qutto a little discussion among tho professors. The teum took with them a couple, of young men from Kansas City, who havo no connection with university, which Is nn additional cause for wrath on the part of tho authorities. PICK UPS.
