Any one wishing to avoid tho Inconvenience of being "dunned", should no.ify tho business manager before Jan uary 15. The member of the IcgMl.iture are evi dently taking nn active Interest In the welfare of the unlvorslty. This week a joint committee of the Iioiiih- and senate accompanied by the chancellor, visited the sovernl departments. Tho professors had and make life as happy ns possible. Such receptions as the one that will be temlored Saturday evening, brings students of dif ferent classes In contnat with eaoli other. Acquaintances are mada and everything teems natural as homo llfo. We regret that such general roceptlons are not ten dered more frequently. Lot every studeiu lay nsldo his books and his cares on the latt day of tho llrst semester, and como out to the Ladles' faculty club reception with the Intention of having a Jolly lime. It does not seem probablo that anything will como of the attempt of the committee, appointed to request the regents to en force the old law, that books should be furnished students by them, at cost. If this law could be practically carried out, It Is certain that the regents would have done their duly In tho matter when the law was made. The students who Mind It, have not made a great dlcnerv. It has been rend to th.m every thirier.'iy and published at odd times, evi i since it was Inserted In tho statutes. In ire llrsi place, the regents, as a company, could iku inircha.se books at tho sumo price a regu lar book denier could got thorn. In the second place, they would Incur more ex pense. In putting the books In reach of the students, estimating the number required, etc., than would penult the students to se en ro books as low as they do at present This question has been agitated before, and It does not seem necessary to bring It up again. There Is an alarming number of colleges In the I'nlted States which have closed the football season with a deiieli. Now this seems to be due ns much to mismanagement on tho part of tho various managers, as from lack of loyalty and support from the students. Those who have charge of the tlnancus do not eem to appreciate the responsibilities of their positions. They start out by hiring a coach, trainers etc., without llgurlng where the money Is to come with which to Miy them. If a clause be put In consMtti- If they nro killed in the game, .s it not tlio'r own lookout? If men will endure so much for their nlma mater, what will they not undergo for their country? Who will bo tho future generals of this great people? Who will bo tho llrst to como forth and battlo for our country In tlmo of danger? Who arc thoy whose poster., y will up hold tho dignity of lite f tato wheso poster ity by Its manly man. nois will bo looked up to ns tho back bono of u healthy na tion? Thoy nro those wuno foo.ball players, demons of brutnlltyt There nro other sources of ImitiUlt), There is btcyclo riding. Think, Mr. Leg.slator, how many deaths occur from tho deadly wheel. Did you, Mr. Leg.slator, over witness a blcyclo raco? 1) d you ever see n man fall nt tho turn, slide and scrape n.ong tho sharp cinders? Did your soul s.cken ua tho riders piled upon Mm, and did you, when ho was car ried away, a bleeding, breathless lump of llesh, vow prevunttvo legislation? Can you stop people from riding on trolley cars? Trolloy cms are as deadly as football. Hut people will rldo on trolley cars, and people will go to blcyclo rncos, and people wiTl patronize football games, and you can't stop them. Go to a college whero football is played, and If you don't change your opinion in sldo of three months, your namo isn't Mr. Legislator. 1.. II.

Your shoe snlned free. the Solons in the department of Ameri can history Professor t'aldwell proceeded to give the committee one of his entertain ing and instructive lectures which brought forth mat y questions from his Interested listeners. Every member of the committee was highly pleased with the facilities for good educational work, the prollcleucy with which the several departments are managed, and the desjutch with which the work Is done. One legislator was over heard to remark. "I had no Idea that Ne braska was honored with such an Institu tion of learning. It is far above my high est expectations." We are certainly gratilled with the fav orable reception the work of the univer sity was received by the members of the committee. It only attests the already strong belief that we will receive liberal appropriations from this .eslon. In spite of the heavy Indebtedness under which the slate Is laboring. The action of our legis lators shows beyond doubt that the twenty third assembly Is comprised of men of strong educational procllvlsles. It Is use less to say that the committee was ad vised by each department of lis needs, and what was conducive to the healthy growth of the university. We hoie thai before the legislature adjourns, every member of the present session will have visited the university so ihnt they may go home to their constituents impressed with the fact, that the state university is an Institu tion of which the citizens of Nebraska may be justly proud. Today, Friday 23. end the tlrst .semester of tho present college year. In some ways this has been one of the most successful in the history of the university. With the elimination of part of the preparatory de partment, we have taken a step toward making this a university in the fullest sense of the word. The different depart ments have made their work the very best that a summer's study and investigation can -)o. They have left nothing undone, that the conditions would permit, by way of Improvement. As a proof of this fact, it need only be noticed how many new courses the heads of certain departments have offered. In history, economics, phil osophy and agriculture, new courses have been added. In addition to these, the fin al orzanlzation of the graduate school Is indicative of progress. Among the events of the semester should be noticed the activity and Influence of the university students In the late election, the Pallad ia n silver anniversary, the addresses In the chancellor's course, the debate and also the good work being done by the col lege settlement. All these together with the recitals, receptions, entertainments, and the general satisfactory work dono In the class rooms, make the semester Juit closed one of the liveliest and most pro ductive In the history of the institution. providing that say. ten percent of the surplus should go to the manager, maybe this would be a sulllclent stimulus to pre vent a dellctency from piling up at the end of the season. One thing Is certain. Itadical steps must be taken by tho var ious associations, or they will bring their colleges so Into debt that It will relleet unfavorably upon these institutions. The L'nlversPy Glee club has returned from a successful tour. Who says that we have not the material for a glee club that will challenge favorable comparison with those of eastern colleges? The train ing which tho boys have gone through le SHaks credit to themselves and Manager Kimball. The reports received from the cities the club visited aro complimentary In a high decree. And the Nebraska!) In return congratulates the club upon the earestness and goodwill with which every member does his part. The tours of thf i.u'j cannot fall to advertise the unlver slty and glvo rise to favorable eommen. in the state pres. Ia?1 the boys keep up their good work and the university will profit thereby. In all probability the cluo will entertain us with some of their de lightful -ongs on Charter-day. Wo certain ly as a student tody will gratefully appre ciate their kindness. When the university of Nebraska places herself in comparison with other univer sities of like standing, she sees that she possess some qualities that makes her ex tremely proud of herself. One of Hie. Is the absence of hazing. Another, the abol ishment of the annual scrap between freshmen and sophomores over the fresh man social. The university of Nebraska Is young, and these ancient customs have not had a chance to take a strong hold upon the members of the various clashes. When we read of such doings and action that hapiten at the more cultured easiern colleges, we are inclined 10 pity them. As a whole our university may pj,- some bad qualities but we are frej from some things and we are tni'y thankfu. for that. Judging from ihe manner that athletl are run at the university of Iowa, ii is no wonder that they did not have a rrp tcsentatlve at the league meeting. It ap pears that there is less college spirit in our sister university than there is in our own. Now that Iowa's faculty begins :. take some Interest in her athletics, maytx thoy can do something better. There U nothing that will kill athletics in any college quicker than Indifference on tin pan of members of the faculty. Hfeb HrM FDR THE - ..
