Into the hands of somo of our alumni
and alumnae. Now to you the Ne
hrnsknn wants to say somo pertinent
and perhnps Impertinent things.
You know the struggles our football
manager always has to make the sea
son close with financial success. When
you were in the University you per
hnps subscribed a dollar hero, and a
dollar there, of "dad's" money. Now
you are in a different position. You
are perhnps earning n good living by
the means which the University sup
plied to you. This means was given
gratis. Doesn't honor require that
jou make some effort to repay your
Alma Mater for what she has done for
you' We ask you to make the foot
ball manager's heart glad by a contri
bution of some sort. The glory of the
Old I'nl demands heroic efforts on
your part which will make her lead in
tlu race for the football penant. We
htio the material this year and you
should help supp'y the means.
The organization of the Pershing
Rifles a few years ago, was the direct
result of the Inspiration caught from
Lieutenant Pershing by its founders.
Their intention, wns to establish a com
pany which should attract the best ma
terial in the battalllon, to tho end that
the magnificent traditions of Lieuten
ant Pershing's regime might not dis
appear with his c'oparture. The com
pnn lias always been rightly regarded
as a tribute to his ability, and to his
military ideals- It was his ardent
wish, as that of the founders, that
the Pershing Hfles should stand
staunchly for the best life in battalion,
and in un'-.c-slly. This purpose has
shared In some ,n ensure the fate of all
idtals. Yet its rndcrlying principle
has found expression in n proper cur
rmt of opinion, sweeping away the
dnfiagf of potty politics. We have
long since found .he plane of the stu

Tho nnnounccr-ent of President Har
per of tho l'r i vslty of Chicago that
any foatl all ! r er using unfair tac
tics wou.d be c 'lolled from college Is
deserving of commendation. It is tho
'violation of the rules that makes tho
gamo appear brutal. If a few more
university presidents would tnko tho
stand of Mr. Harper thoy would do
much to nbollsh tho sentiment against
tho sport and such preposterous anti
football bills as sometimes appear be
fore legislatures would never be heard
of.
The articles on "Modem College Kdu
catlon," which nro being published In
tho "Cosmopolitan," merit tho perusal
of every one. College Ideas are such
vnguc things, and nro so npt to lend to
utter loss of purpose. These articles
will provo n good tonic. Among those
who have contributed nro: Professors
Peck and Dwlght, and President Gll-
mnn.
There Is one thing that should bo
done as soon ns tho Unlvorslty hns
the funds at Its disposal. This Is to
provide some sort of shelter for the
two or three hundred bicycles which
tho students and professors use dally
In going to and from classes. At
present the only shelter provided Is
an Iron railing upon the edges of tho
campus walks. The owner of a wheel
may have tho satisfaction of sitting
in a class room looking out of the win
dow and seeing a sudden gust of wind
tip two or three wheels off tho railing
and pile them In a heap on top of his
own, sits the rest of the hour and won
ders how many spokes nro gone. Or
ho will see two young ladles talking
and one of them Is punctuating her
remnrks by waking vicious jabs at tho
tiro of his wheel with a hat pin and
ho loses his place In the Latin and Is
severely reprimanded by the prof.
A wheel is a valuable piece of prop
erty and should not be allowed to
stand exposed all day to the often sud
den changes In the weather. As It
Is they are exposed to rain, snow, and
dust, to say nothing of the possibility
of their being stolon. There should
be some way provided for the protec
tion of wheels. A check room might
bo established or a basement fitted up
with racks and locks. The many
wheelmen, as well as wheelwomen,
would be more than gratified for a
change from the present condition.
The effort on the part of the different
classes of the University to get up class
teams, Is commendable. All that Is
no" HUClIed Is more men. There are
at least thirty men In every class who
could get out and play good football
if they only would. The fact that you
have never played football before is no
excuse. Come out anyway. No one
knows what ho can do until ho tries.
Four good class teams would very
piobably develop some valuable "finds"
for the Varsity team and would arouse
some class spirit and enthusiasm. If
each momber of every class would take
some pride in his team and would feel
It his duty to see that his class was
well represented on the gridiron, then
a good team would bo forthcoming and
the spectators would not go out on the
campus just for fun to see some
"marks" try to play football, but they
would bo there because they wanted to
sec a good gamo.
The Tarklo team is strong, puts up
a fast game, and comes with a reputa
tion for good football. This means
that if Nebraska is to win, a full
crowd of rooters must be out. Root

repertoire and his jokes, contrary to
all tradition, nro of the vintage of '07.

Primrose & West's orchestra Is this

Carmlchael, who Is said to bo one of
the best minstrel conductors In the
profession, and tho orchestral music

the engagement.
As the company do not nrrlvc In
this city until noon from Omaha by
special train over the Rock Island,
their street parade will bo given on
arrival, starting from the depot.
Next week, commencing Monday
night, the Carlton &. Lord commedlans
will begin n week's engagement at the
Funke. The company Is spoken of
everywhere as a very clover organiza
tion and among Its members arc peo
ple of well known dramatic ability,
headed by the charming soubrette,
Miss Jennie Calef, who appeared here
a number of years ago In the opening
play, "An American Princess." The
New Orleans Picayune says:
"Tho play is of tho characteristic
western type, the leading part being
taken by Miss Jennie Calef, who im
personates a wild, rough diamond, of
little education, but a true heart and
an honest nature. As the American
Princess O'Shaunassey, Miss Cnlef can
not be excelled, and it is doubtful if
she can be equalflfflr Lotta, or Annie
Plxley, in their palmiest days, could
not have pleased the people more than
Miss Calef did her audience last
night."
Popular prices will be the rule all
next week, 10, 20. and 30 cents, and on
Monday night one lady, whon accom
panied by one paid ticket, will bo ad
mitted fteo, if ticket is bought before
