riara THE NEBRASKAN-HESPJERIAN. a COMMJNICATIONS. Editor Nebraakan-Hcsporian: Will you kindly permit the credit commit tee to announce through your columns that all requests for extra hours for the second semester must bo in the hands of the registrar by Wednesday, January 24. Heretofore, these re quests have been scattered over sev eral weeks, causing many unnecessary sessions of the committee. These re quests should state subjects, hours and reasons for asking extra hours. Only two classes of requests are recognized by the committee as com ing within the powers granted them by the faculty. Tho first caso Is where a real hardship is shown, arising from changes of group, sickness, complica tions duo to new faculty legislation and tho exigencies of graduation. Secondly, in certain rare instances extra hours are granted to confessedly strong students whose previous work warrants the increased registration. In neither of the above cases should permission bo granted' whe're it will result in injury or discredit to either the student or the university. To this end tho names of all appli cants will bo listed and submitted to each member of the faculty witn tho request that tho instructor indicate whether the past work of the student warrants increased registration. The t verdict thus i udcrccl will practically decide the matter except in rare in stances of hardship. Respnctfully, T. M. HODQMAN, Chairman. son has been engaged to coach tho track candidates. John Flannagan, tho world's champion weight thrower, has offered his services free to tho shot and hammer candidates. && &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& The Pershing Rifles constitute the cream of the cadet battalion. It is good for the battalion that the Persu ings exist. In tho drill on Thursday evening the members get the inspira tion so easily and often lost In the bat talion drill. Hero the commandant shows himself at his advantage espe cially. The advantages for good drill are many and ho gets into closer con tact with the men. He can pay more attention to details, for which he has a keen eye. To be able to obtain good results from drill In a gentlemanly way without resorting to the usual military roughness is our command ant's strong point. The Persuings need a few more good men. Wow, It is refreshing to drill with them. It is only once a week and that at a lime which is not very val uable to the student anyhow. Ho does not start his evening's work before 8 o'clock and by that timo tho Persuings are dismissed. After a little pleasant exercise one feels much more like studying. Those who wish to join should do so now. Tho Persuings arc ono of tho prides of tho university and should begin next semester with a full house. VICTOR ANCHORA. COLLEGE NOTES.
