Well It mlgliras well bo' seventy. You seo lamQnly a freshman. Wo do- wish Mr. itlmball "would' play a real long ploco In chapol every morn ing when tho now organ Is roady. Just think how cultured Svo should all bo when wo can glibly discourse on musi cal topics, of having heard BUch and such selections of Mozkowskl, Do Koven, etc. Tho school spirit displayed by tli'o Medics at tho Kansas City gamo.wouid bo a valuable object lesson to tho stu dents hero. Tho bleachers wore bright with colors, organized bands of rooters blazing with rod and yellow, filled tho tho side-lines. There were doctors In all stages of development from tho New specialist and tho Professor of Indigestion and Appendicitis down to tho freshmen who had just assumed glasses and were getting used to call ing one another "Doc." Prom tho time their team entered the field until each man reached his homo after tho game, their yells and ongs continued except when tho cap tain was giving signals. Their enthusiasm had ono unpleas ant feature. They wero especially cjwigy "when Nebraska had tho ball, rClit:ln Brew was frequently obliged to telPeah man tho play because of tho din. -T'Svas uone Intentionally and In splteof the officials efforts to secure quiet. Tho leader and worst offender in this display of rowdyism was a professor by tae nmo of Dr. Rao, who is old enough to know better. His action shows him to bo absolutely de void of tho Instincts of a sportsman and a gentleman. COMMUNICATION. My Dear Mr. Editor: The girls thought It would bo so nico if some ono wrote to you about calling Not about your calling, tho of course wo shall always bo glad to have you call, but about calling itself. It has bothered wo girls awfully. If a gentleman wants to rest or study on Sunday that settles it. No ono comes to see him and If they do It does not matter how he looks or any thing. And he don't need to seem pleased to see them either. I don't thnk they call on each other and if they do and ono Is busy he can say so and It Is all right. Rut a &v Is expected to bo at home on Sunday whether she is carrying seventeen hours besides Gym. and has been out three evenings in tho week or not. I will teii ou what happened at our house last Sunday. Wo wero to have dinner at 3:00 o'clock, before that the boys began to Ikoy now doth wear a pipe, 'Quito a little beauty; For since ho Is a sophomoru To wear ono is his duty. Ikey bought a llttlo sack Filled with dark tobacco, Filled his pipe and lit It, too, Happy llttlo Jacko. Ikoy strutted forth at largo Up and down the campus, Puffing smoke out through his nose, Blowing llkq a grampus. Ikey winked at all tho girls Ho was wont to flattor; Felt a pain beneath his coat Heavens! What's the matter? Ikey's pain got worse and worse, Seemed to cramp beneath his vest. Ho made a rush, got to tho wlndow ' Reader, you can guess tho rest. Ex. como und wo hadto excuso ourselves ono or two at a tlmo and dlnfe in re lays. It was after 5:00 boforo I had my dinner. Of course wo llko to have lots of company, but it does seem tnat there ought to bo somo way planned bo that wo could "havo" Sunday to our selves if wo liked. VOry sincerely yours P.S. Tho girls don't know that I am writing this and I do not wish them to, so pleaso do not print my nnme. Editors Note Our fair correspond ent has touched upon ono of tho most important topics of vital Interest to iho studont body, It should bo thor oughly discussed. This department Is open to any ono who desires to wrlto upon this subject. Wo shall next week offer prizes for tho best plans to overcome tho difficulties of which tho writer complains. There is a good joke on Mr. Harry Thurston Peck, the robust editor of tho Bookman. Of coursq everybody knows, although Mr. Peck doesn't ad mit tho fact, that II. T. P. writes the answers In the Bookman's Letter Box. By the way, buy this box and read every letter, they are better than tho letters you are In the habit of receiv ing from a friend at home. But to stick to my text, in tho November number of tho Bookman, Mr. Peck has an article which he wrote after an evening at the club. And in this ar ticle he waxed eloquent over a "nine on tho football field." Those of us who read the article smiled a little, but we had heard of such scemes be fore and didn't write him a letter. But somebody did of course, and Mr. Peck's reply would do justice to the professional apologist. Ho actually acknowledged tho corn and everybody is taking him seriously. Ills many moods will be his ruin yet. He ought to write a Latin Grammar. Dr. Hale's now classification wouldn't stand with Harry's. And that reminds us that Harry Thurston Peck is a very great man and a noted Latin scholar and a poet too. One of the brightest, best looking, neatest dressed freshman said to me the other day, "What Is the matter with the Frats hero anyway. They aro tho slowest, dullest lot of people that I over ran across." Well I agreed and told him so on tho spot. "They cer tainly are slow about getting on to a good thing." Then i asked him if he had received a "bid and ho said "No." "Neither havo I," said I. P. S. Frats take notice Apply by letter or person to box office, this department.
