THE SOLOONS.
It is queer about university appro
priations. They get knifed right and
left from tho first instant they come
within sight of the capitol.
' pour's Is not the only university which
has to contend with the "economy" of
tho stato administration. The U. of
M. dally appeals, with tears in its eyes,
to the solons of Michigan to deal with
the university as they ought to deal.
Hero in Nebraska there is no danger
that the uniyorsity . will get moro
money than it is entitled to. First tho
regents mako a conservative estimate
of what the income of the school will
be, then they ask for an appropriation
of a few thousand dollars loss.
Tho bill is referred to the proper
committees In both houses; they guess
that the Income will npt bo so largo,
cut down the appropriation a-few thou
sand dollars and report with the rec
ommendation that the bill be passed
an amended.
The minority, which has not had a
chance- at tho bill, now gets In Its work
and the majority, to bo generous, rolls
a few little logs and the grand total Is
reduced a few thousand more (or shall
I say "less"?) Then the professors
in the university are appointed state
geologist or chemist, etc., and it occurs
to some brilliant thinker that their
salaries and expenses ought also to
come out of the university appropria
tion. So the school Itself loses another
thousand or two. This happens in both
houses.
A conference committee is now ap
pointed, which adjusts all the differ
ences by compromising on tho smallest
amount. The bill may then bo passed.
When it comps to tho governor he
ascertains by a mathemn'ical process
tho entire amount which has been ap
propriated by the legislature, reads a
few selections from his cnmpalgn ad
dresses upon the subject of 'strictest
economy." decides that it will cause
less trouble to cut down the univer
sity, nnd divides its appropriation by
six.
Wo should all be thankful that there
are not threo houses In the legislature
and that there is no board of revision
to pass upon tho bills before they go to
the governor. The governor himself
should also be thankful, for then there
might not be anything left for him to
veto.
. AN EASTER LAY.
Tho collego student home for vaca
tion wont to church on Euster morn
ing. With some people here it is the reg
ular thing to be surprised when they
hear that one has gone to church. The
student hud not kept count of tho num
ber of times ho had gone to church this
year, so it may not bo said that ho
went to church for tho first time, on
Easter morning.
It was in tho little church at homo,
where ho had gone to Sunday school,
and spoken "pieces" on 'Christmas and
Children's day.
Tho Spirit of spring was In tho'ulr,
and tho mud was deep Upon tho cross
ings. Tho Utile birds sang In the
trees and tho gay llowers on the hats
nodded, in tho glad sunshine. For It
was Easter.--
It was too nice to go to church or
rather too nice to stay when you goi
tboro.
Within the little church gay llowers
bloomed upon tho altar and tho wall
paper on tho colling hung' In streamers
and festoons. Down tho side of tho
wall ran tho stains of tho water which
leaked In tho Inst time it rained, and
all was peace.
How delightful to sink back in tho
old sent where ho had slept so 6ft In
days gone by and listen to the latest
preacher. How pleasant to hear tho
door squeak as tho congregation grow
in size. What Joy to hear the wheezy
organ wheczo, and watch tho choir as
it started on tho handicap races!
What excitement in tho fear that they
would finish together!
How different from the big church
In the xlty! Ho sat as in a (bad)
dream.
The minister rose and announced
his text.
In came a little farmer woman with
two little girls. One might have been
a year old, but at this time she was at
least two. Twice had tho summer's
sun, or some rough instrument passed
over her. peeling the top of her little
pug nose. Lltile sister was younger
Just old enough to bo ornery.
J
The big little girl took off her hood
and mussed her mo'lnBses-candy hair;
the little one rubbed its soiled little
paw in its mother's face and begnn to
talk in opposition to the preacher.
"Hush, you naughty girl, or the man
will come with a big stick."
Tho racket subsided and the sermon
could ngaln bo heard. Twice was this
llttlo Incident repealed, but tho third
time tho kid called her parent's blazer,
and when mamma could not make good
and the big man did not appear with
the big stick, all discipline vanished.
Little sister got mamma's watch,
but big sister took It away, and there
wero squalls. Mamma attempted to
mediate in the dispute and bumped tho
big one's head against the back of the
sent. Then the music began a beauti
ful duet, rising higher and higher,
louder, clearer nnd louder, till tho lit
tle building fairly rang. Mamma's
face flushed (was it with pride?), took
a daughter under each arm and
marched quickly ddwn the;'alslo and
out into the glad sunshine.
And there was some gladness in the
llttlo church.
Pennsylvania is agitating tho mat
ter of establishing tennis courts on the
Campus. This department of spring
athletics has been hitherto entirely
neglected there."
