There is a groat deal of misunderstanding among university
ptudonta in rogard to tho appropriation by tho legislature.
Many thought, that when tho ono mill levy waB so gonorously
vo'ted last month that all our troubles wore ovor. But, now,
every day or so there coraon tho report from a tho capitol that
the appropriations have boon cut. While tho ono mill lovy
will furnish sufficient revenue, yet not ono cent of it can bo
used until the legislature appropriates it. Tho Regents can
only recommend such appropriations. Tho Regents asked for
some $24:0,000 for salaries next year and the House out this
to $210,000. They asked for $90,000 to build a gymnasium
and this amount was cut to $30,000. Tho party in powor seems
to care to spond more for building insane asylums and ono
horse normal schools than to build up tho University. There
is no joke about this matter. Tho party that strikes at tho
University will suroly regret it. Why, tho ono thing above all
others that Nebraska can point to with pride is her university.
It is tho groat equalizer of tho state. By its influence, class
fooling is obliterated. A great university has been built up,
and whether tho legislators think so or not, it is tho pot of the
state. The taxpayers will never have anything but praise for
a wise and judicious expenditure of mohoy for tho university.
Debates.
The Unions will discuss tho advantages and disadvantages
of the jury system at their next meeting.
Next Saturday night tho Palladian club will discuss the
proposition, "Resolvod, That tho benefits resulting from the
Greater American Exposition at Omaha will justify the under
takings." Colorado has consented to put off the debate with tho Uni
versity on account of the conflict with the oratorical contest
here. Tho date will bo a few days later than proviously
arranged.
Tho Dolians at their last meeting discussed tho quostion in
rogard to increasing tho standing army to 100,000. The
topic for noxt Saturday is, "Rosolvod, That the single tax on
land would bo a more equitable system than tho present one."
In tho oloction of officers, Chas. Jones was elected president.
Thp Dolian club has made arrangements to dobato with
Wosloyan April 7. Tho question is, "Resolved, That tho
United States should form a protectorate over tho Philippine
Islands until the inhabitants are capable of solf-govornmont."
Wosloyan affirms the proposition. Tho dobato will take
placo at Wosloyan.
