A SENIOR RUNS AMUCK. Thin dopiirtment learns with grief and sincere sorrow that its old friend Nathaniel MIchlol Graham, Nathan wo .used to call him one 01! tho moat aged and .respected members of tho senior class was so undignified as to run at a terrible rato of uneed, through our beautiful cky for a distance of ton consecittlves blocks last Saturday morning. It may bo true that ho started from homo at 9:30 o'clock anu nad to reach tho university in tlmo for an ethics examination at 9:00, but surely that is no excuse for endangering tho lives of peaceful cUlzons and leaving Ills path strewn wltn tho dead and dying. Think of it. A wild oyed, h"tle3s, .senior going up 0 street at a 2:20 gait, coattajls Happing in tho wind, a largo hamsandwich in ono hand and an othlcslecturenotebook in tho other; eating his oreakfast and cramming for an exam, at the same tlmo, heedless of all else. Tho result might have been far worso. As It was eight fatalities were reported by the polico viz., two cats, threo small poodle dogs, two bantam roosters and one old Plymouth rock hen, crushed beyond recognition. Eight promising young lies cut off In tho full flush of youth and beauty with no time 10 repent or breathe a prayer. It is to bo hoped that such scenes will not occur often. BOY'S PARLOR AND REST ROOM. ' ' A PLEA FOR JUSTICE. Tho Story from Life's Other Side fhich appeared in this column last i(eek,, caused a great sensation throughout the university. The story Jas" a moral which Is, 'What could tho flpor boy do?' The problem which confronts Tho tfcnlv'dreity of Nebraska toaay -is "JVhat shall wo uo with our boys?" It must bo solved in sorao way. Tho t&lo of this article is the. proper solu tion. Suppose a boy Is tired which Is the rule and suppose no has a few min utes of unoccupied time which Is al together Improbable (but Just suppose) whero Is ho to go? . Into tho Library which Is already full and where, If there aro two of him and he talks at all ho will disturb tho people wno want to study, and bring down upon his head tho wrath of tho librarian and got himself sus pended or t'rowed out? On tho stops In tho llbarry hall which aro filled with girls already? Lot us tarry a moment on tneso Btalrs. At all 'f hours of tho day lovely girls sit on them In solid rows clear across, studying or visiting. They aro always completely absorbed In what they aro doing and you would rather miss a lecture than nsk thorn to lot you pass, please. Some times it has to bo dono however, tho' you ropont It tho next minute for they look at you as tho' you had committoa somo crlmo con sldoraoly worso then beating a young child with a club. Over half of a lltoraturo class was locked out several times last semester bocauso they had to go up this flight of sialrs Indian fllo, and vory carefully to avoid stopping on the skirt. What show wouid tho average boy stand In a placo llko tho library stalr3? On tho benches, which aro tho most public places on tho campus? When a follow wants to rest he doos not seek out tho placo whero ho must tip his hat til) his arm gets lame and ho catches a cold In tho head. IU COMMENTS, Thero Is one placo whore ho may go to rest In seclusion and privacy, where ho will noc lntrudo upon any one elso nor disturb tho labors of the studious tho foot ball bleachers. Theso, wltn a fow yards of denim and a collection of sofa -cushions could bo transformed Into an ideal lounging placo for tho weary. Hero screened by tho kindly high board fence, from tho gazes of tho great ouby, bustling world, and tho equally bttsy, bustling co-eds, he can sit and accumulate rest In peaco and comfort, savo when, "Down north Tenth street tho wind doth come, Laden with choice Nebraska dust, Making tho toes of tho listener numb, Freezing tho water-pipes toll they bust And the plumber presents a bill for somo more money." as Shakespeare so feelingly ex presses it. Then What shall toe do with our hoyst . Now I have no fault to And with' tho girls' parlor and rert-room, noth ing Is too good for our girls. (I use tho expression in the general not the editorial sense.) Som6tlmes I feel that nothing is good enough for them. Let them recline in oriental luxury, upon downy couches In their rest room, but in the name of justice do not leave the boys out in tho cold! Lot some place bo provided where they too can spend a quiet hour sleep ing or playing chromes! Who will bo the first to join me In this demand for a square deal? ( One word more and I am done. I hope tho girls will use tho rest-room more and tho library steps less. Then I can get to my European history class fvtthout being obliged to balance my self llko a tight ropo walker and get ting so badly rattlea that I don't know whether Quellen Kundo came beforo (he 1 rench Revolution or after it. 1 For tho first tlmo in history this department counot agree with tho edi torial end of this paper. Last week tho following comment upon President MacLean's action In expelling ten sophomores for kidnap ping tho ireshios president, appeared on tho editorial page. "However his stand is an admirable ono and should bo uphold." One might expect something of this sort In tho Iowa University papers whoso editors aro llablo to bo fired themselves but wo were surprised to seo It in tho Nobraskan-Hesperlan. Consider for ono brief, fleeting, transitory moment tho offonso and tho punishment. I. Kidnapping a freshman class president. Can this bo callod an of fence? Is It not rather ono of those blessed privileges which belong to sophomores? Has not every freshman president a right cx-offlclo to bo kid napped? Would ho not bo disappoint ed, and feel slighto i If his movements woro not Interfered with? Tho right answer to theso questions is "yes." II. Tho Punishmont, Suspension un til September 1901. Wo need not ask whether It fits the offonco, for no offonco was committed. Suspension until Soptembor 1901. Think of it and stand npalled. From January 2Gth to Soptembor 1st over sevon months thlrty-ono weeks 217 days 5,208 hours 312,480 minutes 18,748,, 800 seconds por boy and thoro woro ton of thorn! Wo bet President MacLean did not roallzo what ho was really doing whon ho suspended thoso boys. Think what; a dlfforjjnco, 18n7'i8,8Q0 seconds of suspension mayfmoan to, tho, boys! It will alter their ontjro lives. Whon thoyi return to school next so mostor and for, over aftpr, they will bo 217 days behind. Opportunities will come on schedule tlmo, but thoso boys will bo 217 days too lato to solzo them. If ono of them makes a dato ho will bo obliged to start 217 days ahead of tlmo to keep tho appointment. When his twenty-first birthday" comes ho will bo only twenty years and ilvo months old, and ho will still bo alive until seven months after tho dato of his death. He will never bo' ablo to catch up. Wo aro not disposed to censure President MacLean for his action he did not realize what would bo thd con sequence of it. It is not too late to mak'o a partial repalration. If he par dons tho boys at once, they will b"e only about two weeks behind. By liv ing very fast lives for a year they may bo ablo to catch up. A REQUEST.
