Tho students nro apparently taking an
not I vi Intercut In municipal politics this
spring. Tills Is a matter which Is com
mendable. No one Is more concerned In n
pure, honest and upright administration
of city affair.-, than thoso who come horo
from year to year to complete their edu
cational training. No one Is hotter quail
lied to express their honest convictions
upon wnat Is conducive to on economic
management of city affairs und above all,
tho assurance, of chastity und good mor
ullty In our midst. Tho university stu
dents spend annually thousands of dol
lars unions; the business men of Lincoln.
In truth, their whole Incomo Is practical
ly sptnt here. Wo ore safe In saying, that
tsie average student docs moro to Increaso
tho uctual circulating capital of the city
than many of thoso who itro questioning
tho expediency of ullowlng them to par
ticipate In the primaries and vote at tho
general election. Wo are nil Interested In
good municipal government. This is no
less true of the student than of the bus
ings num. Wo us students, aro sensible
of tho lmiKsrtnnuo of tho problems which
confront every municipality, and wo cer
tainly will act with duo consideration.
It behooves every student to seo that tho
university Is allowed a volco In shaping
tho policy which so largely makes up our
environment. Wo aro moro concerned
Willi tho character of municipal laws than
any other phase of party politics, as thoy
so concern our dally surroundings. Wo
trust tho citizens of Lincoln will fool tho
importance of Insuring tho best of envir
onment for the young men nnd women of
our stute, while- they llvo In this city.
Tho stute oratorical contest Is to be held
in tho un.vorslty ohupul rhls year. It is
needless to say that tho contest will bo un
questionably one of the best and most
vigorously contested In tho history of the
ussoc.ntlon. There will lie four oratois
who will compote for tho honor of reprt
scntlng Nebraska at the Inter-stu.e con
test which will be hold this year at Col
umbia Mo. All the orators upprec.ntu the
Importance of thp stale being orodilab y
represented, alongside of the older states
nail unlverslt'os. Our orator Is going Into
tho statu contest with innny advantages
In his favor, and will certn nly make n
strong rival for the otliers He lias al
ready made- a good showing In two warm
ly fought contests, and there Is every rea
son to believe 'he has a good chance of
winning tho state honors. Every student
should feel In duty bound to lend his sup
port financially and otherwise to urouiu
genulno enthusiasm ns of old. Le: us
make the vlslt'ng oollegos feel that true
ollege spirit In oratory Is far from wav
ering In our tin verslty. To do this, we
must individually and collectively bo on
hand to oheer nnd encourage our orator
nnd yell for the scarlet and cnam, Lot
us not allow our indifference in any way
Interfere with a vigorous and enthusiastic
contest.
Tho success of tho glee club tour will
be watched for by every ono with great
Interest. It means so much for the uni
versity, If thoso young men can succeed
in Impressing tho people of the larger
towns of tho stuto of tho position our uni
versity holds In tho rank of educational
institutions. Many people of Nebraska
have heard no much of the eastern col
leges und so little of tho university, that
they cannot bo brought to understand
that our state Institution ranks as tho
equal of these well known eastern col
leges they do not know that In point of
numbers and standard of curriculum, that
tho univorslty v! Nobraska Is us capablo
of giving their wons nnd daughtors an ed
ucation as good as nny Institution In tho
fund oon do. Tho npiH-urnnec of tho
giro club nmong theso people, carries with
It a dignity and cu,Huro, and above all
a colleno characteristic which lends much
In nppenrinee, of stamping the university
ns an Institution with fixed collogo cus
toms and rank.
Every student should exert himself a
llttlo tills spring, to help out our baseball
IntorcBts. Thero Is eminent prospect pf
putting n team on tho flold that can win
tho championship of tho west. This glory
Is worth striving for, and It Is worth a bit
of individual sacriflco and effort on the
part of overy ono connootod with the uni
versity. This mny bo tho last tlmo that
n combination of circumstances will put
so many good baseball plpyors togethor,
and tho legibilities before us dhould re
sult In bringing out financial support that
will give tho managers a llttlo lco-way In
enso of getting games with such colleges
tu Wisconsin univorslty, univorslty of Chi
cago, nnd Northwestern. It would bo a
great thing for tho Xam and the univor
slty If these teams could bo Induced to
conic to Lincoln. Subscriptions should bo
forthcoming when tho season tickets aro
put on sale,
A visitor was recently overheard 'o hnvo
remarked that our chapel exercises were
not very well attended. To bo sure, the
attendance Is not what Is desired, Quite
frequently the number of empty seats
more than qml thoso which nre occupied.
Although the attendance Is voluntary, It
seems that students could no better util
ize llfteon minutes every day, than In nt
tend ng chapel exercises. Tho weather,
dining the past few days, 1ius no doubt
been tho cause of decreased chapel atten
dance, but It N hoped that the flock will
soon return, nnd tho attendance be what
It used to be.
At the recent convention of the Ameri
can association of colleges and secondary

XAVKR SCHARWENKA.
Xavcr Scharwcnka, the Polish pianist,
will appear at the Lansing In ono recital
only on Wednesday April 7. Scharwenkn
is equnlly famous ns composer or pianist,
and tho Boston Advertiser says of him,
the following: "The appearance among us
of a composer of the rank of Xaver Schar
wenkn marks an epoch of far more Im
poiuuice thnn the mlvtoit of u Putt'.. Not
since the appearance of Rubinstein a gen
urat'on ago, has there been such u p.nn
ist nnd composer In lioston."
Thu Chicago Evening Post says: "Every
thing that he interprets shows the cart
ful, broad and scholarly artist. His play
ing Is rtmnrkable for Its elegance and line
pol sh, his reading Is full of v.gor, and
that vigor Is so tempered by a rellned
poetry, that It Is Irresistible. His techni
cal abilities aro remarkable. His grada
tions of tono nnd his formation of tone aie
a study In thiinHelvos; u model for all
artists to pattern after, as a bravura play
er he . a pleasant surprise. There Is such
an ease and fnstld.ous elegance in his
strongest efforts, such an absence of mus
cular ty and such n presence of v.r le
grnce, and In all that he does Is icllceied
tho lire and vitality of a healthy and h gli
ly doveloped Intellectuality."
Horr Schnrwenkn holds the nppo ntmeni
of court pianist to the emperor of Austr n
and the title "Royal Prussian Professor".
In nerlln he Is worshipped, nnd '.t Is not
unusual after a concert for the horses to
bo taken from his carr'nge and the music
ian drawn In state to his home by tho
hands of his friends.
Lincoln muslcins aro preparing to give
Horr Scharwonka a line reception to show
thoir appreciation of (ho pr.vllego of henr.
