Editors of tho Nebraskan-Hesperlan: As spokesman for a few who feel like I do about some things, I wish to air a grievance through, your columns. Quito a number of the young lady students in the University of Nebraska wear those bulky, high-crowned hats. They wear them undaunted into the class room. If you happen to 1)0 inter ested in somo demonstration on tho blackboard or chart, or perhaps in what the instructor is saying to the rest of the class, if It falls to your un happy lot to be placed behind one of these "creations" you Imbibe your learning only at tho risk of a deform ed neck. If you attempt to move to another locality the vacant chair will count you absent. And there you are. Just a little thoughtfulness at times on the part of the wearers is all that is asked. A word to the wise is often more effective than a column of mis directed kicks. Yours, MORREL ULLOM. THE MAN AND HIS SHOES. How much a man is like his shoes! For instance, both a sole may lose; Both have been vanned, both arc made tight By cobblers, both get left and right, Both need a mate to be complete, And both arc made to go on feet. They both need heeling, oft are sold, And both in time will turn to mold. With shoes the last is first; with men The first shall be last; when The shoes wear out they're mended new; When men wear out they're useless, too. They are both trod upon and both Will tread on others nothing loath; Both have their ties, and both incline When polished in the world to shine, And both peg out; now, would you choose To be a man or be his shoes? Ex. m4&wkMm FRIDAY MUSICAL. AND CONVOCA TION. Before the Friday morning musical Acting Chancellor Bessey gave a short talk to the students on the conduct of a few who persisted in talking and yelling at tho wrong time during pre vious musicals, and admonished all to act as students and not rowdies.

The program was: Piano solo, "Prelude, C Minor," .Rachmani noff, Miss Marie Hoover; lullaby, "larks and the Nightingale and the Rose," Hawley, Miss Maude Oakley.

A. work, and read some interesting figures on the religious statistics of the students of the university. Dr. Ward acted as chairman of tho convocation meeting and talked on the selfishness of the student life. Dr. Hindman was intro duced and talked upon the need of a Y. M. C.
