Now that drill has commenced for
this year, some discussion has arisen
among tho non-commissioned olllcera
of the battalion as to the advisability
of doing away with tho gold chevrons
and returning to tho black cloth chev
rons of two years ago. When tho gold
chevrons were adopted last year it was
urged in favor of tho change that on
battalion parade the non-commissioned
officers would bo easily distin
guished, whereas tho Mack stripes on
the blue background were not suf
ficient to distinguish tho officers from
the privates.
However, there seems to be a reac
tion In favor of the old style, which
had the double advantages of cheapness
and neatness. Tho black chevrons
looked as well at tho end of the year
as at tho beginning, while tho same
could not be said of tho gold chevrons.
This is especially true if tho cadets
work in the chemical labratory, as
the gold stripes ?pon turn to a dark
greenish color. Another advantage In
favor of the old chovrons is that they
are not so loud and can be worn any
place without attracting attention.
Ab nearly all the privates in tho
Pershing Rifles are non-commissioned
officers in tho battalion, the black
chevrons would greatly improve the
appearance of that company, as tho
boys can hardly afford two blouses.
At present tho Rifles present much the
appearance of a brass band with all
their gold stripes, and It is hoped by
many of Ub members that there will
be a change soon.
Among the many late articles writ
ten upon the "Education of Women,"
is one by President Canfleld of Ohio
State University, which has appeared
recently in an eastern publication.
The title of the article Is "An Experi
ment in the Education of Girls."
President Canfleld has outlined in this
article a scheme for education in
domestic science. Tho course is regu
larly four years, one-third of which
deals directly with domestic science.
Tho scheme is broad, capable of giv
ing general culture and bids fair to be
immensely practical. In the genoral
culture course little is given to'
directly fit young womon for what, in!
the natural course of events, will be-
come their life work. This plan Is'
certainly admirable and has been os-j
tabllshed without university prcco-l
dent. Much depends, however, upon ,
the activity of tho young women In1
taking hold of the course. , i
The talk given by Dr. Hastings in '
chapel Monday morning was indued i
beneficial. If our athletics aro to be
athletics In the college sonso, lot ua
have them always and forever free
from any taint of professionalism. If
our athletic name in the east 1b not
as bright as it should be, let us strive
that this year it may be well burn
ished. Nebraska Is capable of bettor
things along this lino,
If one may Judge by tho '98 class
meeting, class spirit, at least, is not
dead In Nebraska. The sophs also
give evidence of class activity in the
challenge sent to the freshmen. We
have reason to hope that by the time
of the first foot ball game a large
sized college spirit will be forthcom
ing. Tho Nebraskan would klndl sug
gest to a few that tho University is
now in good running order and that it
Is high time to buckle down to work.
The "critical period" In tho life of
the student comes In the first half of
tho freshman year. A realization of
this Bhould mean work.
Tho North Western Monthly Is bo
coming almost a University publico-'
tlon, judging from tho numbor of con
tributors who aro Unlvorslty profes
sors. In tho September and October
Issues may bo found tho beginning of
3ovcral series of articles by various
professors, which would bo a great
help If read by studontB, who, at times,
fall to get tho full thought or signific
ance of a lecturo In tho class room.
Among nrllcles now running may bo
mentioned: American History Studies,
II. W. Caldwoll; Studies In Literary
Interpretation, L. A. Sherman; Munic
ipal Government, Mrs. W. G. L. Tay

History, R M. Fling. On tho Teach

"PIKE'S peak on HUST."
Circumnavigating Pike's Penk by tho
ship of the desen Is not what every sum
mer tourist nccompllsnus. However, Ibis
famous Inland Cnpo Horn was rounded
this summer by Mr. Randolph of the
school of music, Charlie Schwarz and
Fred Hurt, In their camp wagon "Tho
Oont."
Tho party left Lincoln Juno 15th, nnd
camped In Donver July 8th.
Mr. Randolph, as head of tho party,
displays d his tns c for the fitness of things
In Ills choice of companions: Mr. Mnrtz,
who had tho mlsfortuno to receive a very
slight gunshot wound which necessitated
his early return, was chosen because of

Mr. Bur,., It was foun, after six hundred
miles had been covered, was an excellent

wagon spindles.
So all things wero good O, yes, Mr.
Randolph presided over a portable evan
gelist organ which proved a bread win
ner and gained the boys admission Into
the homes and hearts of many susceptible
westerners.
From Denver, th city of bicycles and
"Don't expectorate upon tho bldownlk ns
a sanitary measure" signs, the Invincible
three went to Colorado Springs town of
"lungers" and dally showers.
Pike's Peak was the only mountain
whose proud houd felt tho weight of their
delicate sandals. Tho high altl.udo in
prices of Summit House affected thorn
considerably. Day aft-r tho descent they
wero so lame they were short of bro.itb.
Now begun the real pleaburu of tho trip
for now, nfter tho Peak, tho Gajd n, and
tho various canons, began .ho mountains
In earnest. Two dnys after leaving Col
orado Springs they halted on tho brink of
Cripple Creek and wore repaid for their
hard climb by the grand ecene before
them, 'Cripple' in all hor "virgin purity,"
luy at their feet almost within a stone's
throw. Away In the dlstanco, north, touth

Mosquito rangoa, till the blue distance

to where tho riulot Bu na Vista nestles
on the bank of tho turbulent Arlcnnins,
Just nt the foot of royal, Jmpresulve Mt.
Prince. on, tho bnndsatnest of mountains.
At lluoiia Vlita began tho return trip
through tho famous, tough, unutlrnctiv
Leadllle, over Fiomont pas ov r which
no plainsman would think of going and
Broekenrldge pass, then down Turkey
Creek canon lov.lost of all mountain
placos to Denver.
Planning to uvoll pralrlo hout the boyt
started to cltcle up through South Da
kota but, fearing lack of time, when
Chadron win reached, thoy struck suutn
for the old Oregon trail down the I'lauc
One day on the ou. trip the boyi w r
dining in th shade of a wattr tank when
an Endeavor special from Alannarhui-e tn
mopped for wa.er. . Immediately the
"cowboys" were tho center of manv timid
eyes. One dear, good man in black al
paca, bilious straw hat, and "dlnnlgals"
sought to divert tile minds of die terrible
cowboys by offering them a Boston Tian
scilpt, full of nice New England pie and
cake. "There," he said, holding U toward
Mr. Randolph, then sotting it down on
the cinders, ho sprinted for his car as the
bell tang, but shouttd tho rest of his pre
sentation speech from tho rear platform,
"thoie Is some nice cake for you," Silence
reigned In the pleless, caktless wos
Schwartz cams near being locked up on
one occasion, In this wise.
Having three horses for hill work, the
third was sometimes ridden wh n on level
road. Tho "third" was about four feet
high,, highly mul sh In expression of coun
tenance and temperament. Tho riding
harness consisted of u saddle, four by
eight Inchis guaranteed Invisible held on
by a clrclnglo wrapped nearly twice
around the little brute. In the absence
of ono stirrup a strap served nnd nbsenco
of bridle was remedied by tying o slnglo
rop around "third's" neck. Chorllo, pa
triarchal In long whlto whiskers, sat
ns rldo slow walking "Little Babo." At
a sudden turn In tho road thoy camo
upon o real live cowboy. He simply
glnnoed nt Charlie. Whon tho dust
olenred away they could boo othor dusts
rising nnd sottl ng four mllos to leownrd.
Of course Ohnrll talked "hoch Deutsch,'
besprinkled with local color, to tho "Vlg"
oomml.too and after deciding that maybo
tho missing man's horse had partaken of
too much low weed, Charllo was ac
quitted. Tho only work done on tho trip was
some hydorgrnphlc work done through
Nebraska by Professor Barbour.
This do tho boys say: Co camping.
Homebodies do not know the Joys, disap
pointments, hopes nnd fears of a real zig
