Not least anions the beuellts tie rlwd from President Kchiirmnn's visit was the bringing to the Cnlverslty for the first time, possibly, of Cornell men resident In Nebraska. Especially ninoiif,' Omnlia men, anil we think we speak advisedly, is there a. lack of knowledge of the exact nature of the work of our University nnd of its prop er position nmou educational institutions. The ideals set forth by President Schurmnn touched u responsive chord in Nebraska hearts. He impressed us ns n fearless, stronp-wllled, whole souled mnn whose life work has been and is the. upbuilding nnd education of the minds of men. We mny have forgotten ere this his exact words, but the thoughts and impressions reninin. His very presence was an Inspiration we ennnot soon forget. Arouse athletic interest, among your friends in the student body. Feel that the building of the running track is a part of your individual burden. Sub scribe when the pnper is hnnded you and pnss it along to your friends. Sub scribe something, no matter how small the sum, that the business men of Lin coln, the faculty and our physical di rector may know flint your heart is with the cause of pure athletics nt Nebraska. Above all things give the men who eirculnto the subscription pa pers your nnme and a hearty word of encouragement. Doubtless the order kept by the stu dents in the library is not ns it. should be. Doubtless the whispering and laughing is much in excess of actual needs. Doubtless the librarians do have a hard time with tlie unrcgune rntes who frequent the library build ing. Hut we venture to say thut there is nothing in the student conduct which is of so much annoyance, to the actual workers as the ringing of the bell which enls up the janitor. For absolute hidcousness the noise emit ted by that electric bell is not to be compured with any other noise going. It is enough to drive a nervous per son to distraction and an ordinary per son to drink. Students linve been known to hear thnt bell in the day time nnd then use it as a basis of dreadful nightmares when they should have been building worn out tissue. Jf students whispering is a nuisance, the ringing of thnt bell is still more so. If the one is to be suppressed certainly the other should Imj also. The class of "lis" has shown tlie burnt enterprising spirit of any class In recent years. It has had winning football teams and base ball tennis. It has published a junior iiuiiual and Is soon to Issue a senior book, In every sphere of cIiism action It has shown that It Is made of tlie proper stuff. One thing more needs to m done in order to pereptuate Its memory, Some token should be left upon the campus which would servo always to remind tlie public nnd future generic tions that there was a class which graduated In ISDS. The class of "Ita" did well but It seems thnt events will happen which were not, expected and for some time to come It Is probable that the gift of "02" will serve to call to mind the folly of youth niMter than the enterprise of the. old class. Hut the present graduating class can erect some monument to Itself that can not be burled or serve for the sport of the rising generation. Something can be left behind which will serve nlways to connect "US" withthe University. Something can be left behind which will call up a feeling of pride and love for the class when uuy one of "US" happens back to Its early Held of ac tion. Seniors should ponder over the Idea nnd think up some scheme by which the nbove object can be idealized. The proposed cinder trnck is the most important thing for athletics in the University thnt has Immjii ndvanced for years. Not until such track is built can there be any hope of tlio University taking the rank that be longs to her in the athletic world. It is indeed gratifying thnt such a movement is at last on foot with ev ery prospect of success. The lack of such a trnck has kept this institution far in the rear of oth er Universities of equal importance. It lina lost to Nebraska the chance of competing with the colleges of the same calibre, in track events. We have have had every chance to come in con tact with crack teams, only to bo con fronted by tho fact that our nthlctes have been so handicapped by poor fa cilities that they felt unequal to meet ing the teams that they should. With the prospects of a dual meet between tho University of Nebraska nnd Minnesota and nlso the big west ern meet at Omahn, such a track is an absolute necessity if the University of Nebraska expects to stand any show of winning. It is to be hoped that all students The constitution of the debating us soclatlon is sadly in need of revision. Especially is this so with regard to the method of choosing debaters for the different debntcs which the Uni versity will lx engaged in. Under the provisions recently adopted the winner of tlrst place in the finals shall have his choice of debates, the second in rank will have next choice nnd so on until the last in rank is forced to take the only remaining place. This year we have three debates, one with Kansas, one with Missouri nnd one with Colorado. Naturally the Kiiumih debate Is fur and away the most important of the three, it is the debate which was first, entered in to between Nebraska and any western institution, and is the debate looked forward to by all student interested in debate. In addition to this, the un pleasant events of last fall during the foot ball season makes victory espec ially to be desired. We wish to show the men from Kansas that, not only in foot ball but in debate can we bent them. And yet whnt is the situation which now seems to confront tho debating nssoeiution and the University? The three debaters who won the first three places have almost decided to go to Missouri, the next three in rank have decided to go to ('(dorado while the last three are forced to reninin here to debate with Kansas. There is no means of judging the debaters except by the marks given by the judges. So the man who was marked first is to all intents and pur jkisch the best debater in the Univer sity, while the ninth man on tho list is the ioorest of those who obtained places. Hence we see the three. lest mnn going to Missouri.the three mid dle men going to Colorado and the three lowest in rank staying in Lin coln to represent the University of Ne braska on its home grounds against its oldest and most bitter foe. How can we expect to compete with Kansas when she sends her very best men here and our best men go else where? Certainly If any one ever owned the University a. duty our foremost debaters do now. They owo it to themesclves, our students and to the University to which has done so much for them to stay in Lincoln and con tend against our friends from Kansas. It is our only hope for victory nnd victory we must hnvc. Every means possible should bo brought to bear upon the three, men first in rank to induce them to relin quish their first choice nnd stand by the University of Nebraska in its great fight against its southern rival. FRATERNITY HASE BALL LEAGUE. The inter fraternity base ball league is at last an accomplished fact Tues day morning representatives from the different fraternities met and perfect ed an organization. All the fraterni ties in tho school except one are in the movement nnd there is yet a possibil ity that it may come in. At the meeting n committee of two consisting of Art narmon nnd C. L. Spencer were appointed to arrange a schedule and to attend to any other preliminary business in connection with tlie establishment of the new league. The schedule agreed upon Is as fol low Apill Mi the" Phi Unppn I'sl vs signih (hi. April Uilth Kappa Sigma vs Alplia Tun Omega. May ilrd Rlgmn Alpha. Epslton vh Delta Tim Delta.

All of the games are scheduled for Tuesday so that If there should be any Interference with the day Itwould yet be possible to piny the. gniuc. some time during the hitter part of the week. All of the fraternities ure extremely enthusiastic over the Idea and with out doubt some exciting contests will tuke place on the campus this spring in addition to the regular games of the first team. The rlvalr.v which eslsts between the dllVerent urgalna tlons Is sulllcleiit to Insure tlie success of the scheme and the certainty that aeli game will call forth the best en ergy of th participants.
