The Nebraskan-Hesperian C NOTES AND COMMENTS. We Have Nozv There is Nothing . FUN US IN SENATUM. A short time ago tho university sen ate sat In executive session on R. E. Smith, because of sundry and diverse offenses, high crimes and misdemean ors. Tho particular crlmo with which hi was charged was tho violation of the new rule requiring students to reg ister before a certain fixed date. The facts brought out in tho trial were that Smith had n desire to change to the electivo course. Ho did not have enough "points" to get In, and sent to his high s hool for some more (civics, physical geography, etc.) Pending the arrival of these his Dean gave him a permit to attend classes. Another Dean had given him a note to the Registrar, requesting that he be allowed to register, but this had no perceptablo effect. Tho "points" from the high school were slow coming, owing to the Im perfect state of preservation of the records. It took the teachers (one of whom was dead) some time to remem ber whether he got 87 or 89 and If so In what. In the mean time, time rolled on and Smith was working and re citing without the aid or consent uf cny other nation on earth. Now there Is a rule that a student shall not be permitted to recuc in a class after a certain date if he mis not registered. Nevertheless Smith was reciting and the worst of It was that he was doing good work fo ha couldn't be flunked. At last the 'credits" came and our hero took them to the proper Dean to have them "evaluated." Ho was told that th'.q in teresting process would take ctio; two days, and that he should return at the end of that period. For mouio reason or other he did not return un'.l two weeks later and so the somcfyr ended. Smith had done n semester's work, but could not be given credit for it becauso he had not registered. The Senate decided very quickly that the registration rulo could not lio a success until a heavy penalty had lnm Indicted upon some one for Its viola tion. It was difficult to decide who ought to suffer, Smith had followed the advice of two of tho Deans through out tho whole proceedings. Tho Pro fessors not directly interested thought tho Deans and Professors were to blame. Theso ail attempted to justify themselves except Professor Caldwell who thought that he and the others Implicated were more to blame than the boy. Ho expressed a willingness to endure whatever punishment might be decided upon. Notwithstanding the Professor's popularity tho vote, which was at once taken resulted, Smith 11 Caldwell 10 So Mr. Smith was declared elected. The next thing was to fix the pen alty. After long debate it vas de cided that R. E. Smith should be placed in close confinement in the bummer School for tho term of three weeks," at labor of some sort or other It did not matter muc'i what and that at the expiration of that term he should have credit for last semester's worlc A motion was passed that in lieu of a striped suit ue should wear Professor Richard's shop pants and Professor Caldwell's old hat. And the Senate adjourned.
