The branch of tho United States
post office department at the university
has not yet materialized.
Examinations loom up before every
one in a very pleasant manner and
we predict that next week will bo one
of the most 'pleasant in to history of
the institution.
Tho final debates wero successful in
every way. Enthusiasm was general.
All tho speeches were excellent and no
man need to bo ashamed of what he
did even though ho did not win a
place.
The lack of interest at the basket
ball game last Saturday evening was
deplorable. The Young Men's Christian
Association team had better rooters
than the university men and tho latter
wero on there own floor. At tho next
game, let every one turn out and cheer
the boys on. With proper support they
should have won tho last game.
The annual scrap and hazing between
tho junior and senior classes has start
ed with i rush. A senior was tho first
victim. Whllo this sport is Intensely
amusing to tho30 looking on, it is era
burrauiiiti to the eno most vitally con
cerned. Almost everyone knows the
results of hazing at West Point and
tho scautlle of the investigation just
completed. Such nffairs aro probably
carried farther In a military school
then in any other. Caro should al
ways be taken to avoid serious results.
AVI) en any thing Is attempted, enough
flhoulil bo present to carry it through
without a possible chanco of an acci
dent. However, tho best way la to
avoid hazing entirely us it is a relic
of tho past.
Mr. Nelson II. Darton of tho U. S.
geological survey, who is so well
known to tho students of tho univer
sity on ac ount of his occasional lec
tures here, and who has dono so much
to assist in working out tho geology
,of Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado,
In rendering valuable corvleo to the
states of tho great plains, In his efforts
.tortho passage of a bill In congress,
authorizing tho geological survoy to
Blnk artesian wells In tho western
prairie states. Mr. Darton's Idea In
this matter Is to sink a well which
will servo as an example for tho peo
plo of the community, by their seeing
tho result that will bo obtained for ir
rigating purposes as well as for wat
ering stock. This movement is im
portant and would provo very benefi
cial; every porson who can speak a
kind word for its advancement should
do so.
TMin rnnnnf frnnliln n flin tiltilnl-
Inw plnqa nrriln onllo to nttnntlnti tlm
utter unreliability of many of tho
dally papers. Tho affair was hardly
noticed at tho university and every one
regarded It as merely a passing
trouble. However, the daily press
took it up and built up fabulous stories
about tho wholo class loosing their
credit for tho last semester. One
paper called it a strike. An old uni
versity student, correspondent for an
out of town paper, wroto a sensational
article. Ho no doubt, Is paid accord
ing to the space he fills. In order to
Insure the publishing of his entire
story, ho made It of tho yc.ow journ
alism type. Such things aro very '
narmful to tho university and a man :
who would write such articles does not
have much love for hlo Alma Mater. .
Last year, tho same thing was done
when the students and the police en
joyed a little tilt. Senior sneak day
was reported as a riot on tho campus.
We would urgo theso gentlemen to
kindly use only a pencil and facts in
stead of a pencil and their imagination
when they write concerning the "little
differences" at tho university.
When n man entered collego thirty,
or even twenty, years ago, ho began
a prescribed course of study, which
stipulated that he must pursue so
many hours' work of Latin, Greek,
mathematics and ccrlain other branch
es. To a boy entering college, to-day,
however, qulto a different condition
presents itself. Ho finds that for the
first year, or possibly tho first two
years, he must take a definite lino of
work, which is designed to continue
and complete tho training he has re
ceived in high school. At tho begin
ning of his third year of study, his
course becomes largely what he chooses
to mako It. In other words tho work
becomen elective.
Whllo some men may bo best devel
oped and trained through Greek and
Latin and muthematics, others through
chemistry and physics, it Is also true
that for some men no one of these
offers tho best training. With this
thought in mind, the colleges have
almost uniformly adopted tho elective
system, whereby a man may take the
Greek or Latin, or tho sciences, If they
suum bust to fit his needs, but is also
free to take philosophy or history, En
glish or German or French If in those
subjects he feels will bo found the
greatest benefit. A man may even be'
gin his work In medicine or law dur
ing tho college cotirso and make a
saving of a year In the professional
school. Ono of tho great results of
this chango in tho collego course is
that a man need not spond four years
working In an uncongenial field or try
ing to puzzlo nls way through tho sub
jects for which his mind is not adapt
ed. The courso has ceased to bore
such men and has become agreeable
and pleasant, Inviting thera to enter
fields of scholarship which boforo wore
not open. Exchange.
