Address all communications to Tho Nebraskan, University of Nebraska. If complaints by Oborlln football plnyers uro well founded, Michigan men surely lack common courtesy. In tho recent game between the two col leges, tho Oberlin men complained of rough and ungentlemanly treatment at tho hands of the Mlehlgnn men. Tho complaints have lefn carried so far that tho Oberlin Advisory Hoard has appointed a committee to investigate tho nrt'alr, and in a mass meeting the students passed resolutions condemn ing tho action of Michigan. Because a team opposes us on the gridiron is no reason why they should he treated other than gentlemanly, both on and off iho Held. On the contrary, a visit ing team should ho shown nil the courtesy possible. Such treatment is an index of college spirit. Tomorrow Is the last day of regis tration for all Lincoln voters. If a namo does not appear on the books, the only way in which the vote can be sworn in Tuesday Is on condition that absence from the city, sickness, or other equally important objection, prevented registration. Mere forgct fulness will not be sniUcient excuse. Under a ruling of our supreme court all are privileged to vote here who con sider Lincoln their home and have re sided in the state, county, and ward the required length of time. Everyone el igible to a vote should see to it that he is properly registered in due time. . Summary action by the faculty of Hillsdale college. In a recent athletic nilebohavlor, is commendable. Such prompt action may sere as a damper upon simular practices in other col leges. The faculty expelled the man agers of the bootball team from col lege and suspended the captain from participation in athletics. Both are chaiged with playing a man on the tortm rontrary to the rules of the ath letic board. Whether the action of the faculty be rescinded, as is often the case, or not. the stamp of dishonor haa been placed upon such conduct. Dr. Kranois E. Clark, in his address In chapel. Monday morning, spoke strongly on the tendency toward low ering college ideals. This tendency , should be eradicated if college sur roundings change the man from one of high Ideals to a man of few ideals; the college training Is at fault. In Ne braska we have perfect freedom, and this freedom sometimes is character ized by a falling of ideals; instead of a constant building up of high motives. Today materialism is ranv.mnt, and in a Bonse is Iconoclastic. The bright ex amples set before us forbid a fall to Buch a plane. We should have a grow ing sense of our responsibility to man kind. To excel in football is well but It is not the acme of our aspiration. President Jesse, of Missouri Stat" University was evidently misunder stood by Chancellor Snow, of Kansas, regarding his stand on athletics. Pres ident Jesse openly condemned profes sionalism in any form whatsoever, and wherever found. No more in Kan sas than in Missouri, or any other uni versity. His statements were Intended generally, and not as applying to the University of Kansas In particular. The persistence wit1; which young America continues to forge to the fre.nt is shown by the example of J. II. Raymond, president of the Uni versity of West Virginia. He is only twe-nty-nlne years old and at the age of nine was selling papers on the stieets of Chicago. Persistence and endurance are recognized Jn the col legiate field as well aB elsewhere Tho nowspapora havo not cenBcd dis cussing tho Prlncoton Inn affair. Tho odium of public disapproval rests upon tho action of many Princeton profoa sors In signing tho petition for Uconso. Tho granting of this Uconso to Boll liquors to tho Prlncoton Inn may ho an Indication of higher education but wo think not. REV. CLARK TALKS. Tho studontB of tho University had tho pleasure, last Monday morning, of listening to a short address by tho Rov. Francis 13. Claik, who Is well known as tho father of tho Christian Endeavor movement. The themo of Rev. Clark's talk was that the men of greatest influence nro thoso who havo IdralB. To Illustrate this ho took tho Ufo of William Cary, tho celebrated missionary. Tho speaker had with him a most Interesting relic a ham mnr iihpiI bv Cnr when ho was a poor cobbler and which was used as a gavel at the recent convention of tho Chris tian Endeavorers society In San Krnn chco. Rev. Clark drew several lessons from this old hammer and its original owner, William Cary. In nil the his tory of the world there were few men who made themselves greater scholars especially In linguistic lines. Cary was a master of Sanskrit and received n salary of 5.000 rupees per month In a college In India. The result of his earnings were put Into tho building of a magnificent college which stands as a monument to tho consecrated intel lect and learning of one man. In this collcgo Is a collection of forty Bibles, all translated into different languages, by Cary, so that all the different tribes of India might read the Gospel. Ho apparently threw himself away among the heathen and yet he thought It worth while to give his unusual tal ents to the people of far-off India. The speaker then turned to the dan gers of getting an education. Our studies are so pressing that wo are apt to forget that there Is another whole sphere of our being which we must explore if we would develop tho highest man and womanhood. wiv rinrk snld he had recently come from South Africa where gold and diamonds are the cniei oojecis 01 life. An interesting description was gien of the big bonanza kings of that region, but In the opinion of the speaker, the greatest man in that coun trv was not one of these rich mine owners, but Andrew Murray, a Dutch minister. Wherever he goes there is a different atmosphere. He has started schools for girls in many towns to in troduce American ideas. Owing to the efforts of Murray and his family, the Cape of Good Hope has been made a different sort of a place from the rest of South Africa. We are too apt to think that there is nothing to do, but what Murray has done for South Af rica the students of this University could do for Nebraska. KAPPAS ENTERTAINED. Miss Elenor Raymond entertained the girls of the Kappa. Kappa Gamma Sorority and a few other friend3 Sat urday afternoon. The guests were blindfolded and asked to recognize diffe-rent things by tasting, hearing, smelling, and feeling. Miss Mabel Richards proved protlctent for which she received a beautiful bunch of Mel eor roses. The remainder of the af ternoon passed very quietly with mu sic- and conversation, i nose preseiu were- Misses Ruth Raymond.

THE CLASS TEAMS. The class teams have been out prac ticing this week with the exception of the freshmen. At a meeting of the freshmen class held last Wednesuay. Mr. Reed was elected manager of the class team. Now that there Is some reiognized head to the team the fresh men will doubtless come out to pra -tice and be prepared to make It hut for the other teams. As yet no defi nite date for the class games have been decided upon. The game between the Juniors and seniors will probably be the first one to be played but the date will be announced later. The du it date of the Freshmon-Sophmore game is also an uncertain question owing to the delay of the freshmen in organ izing a team. The claims of the managers of the respective teams remind one of the claims of party managers who Halm the sure election of their candidate The freshmen are full of promises of what they are going to do when they once get started. The sophmores are cluimlng everything in sight. The strong freshmen eleven of last year which gave tho Juniors such a tussle, forms the neucleus of the present soph omore team. The JunloiB have no class team of last year to fall back upon, but if confidence counts for any thing, they have the pennant cinched. The seniors won the championship last year and naturally think they are able to turn the trick again. It would take a wise man to pick the winner, but among the know-it-alls, the soph omores and the seniors are the favor ites. ATHLETIC BOARD MEETS. The Athletic board held an ad journed meetlnir Int.!
