Such exercises not only create spirit and tradition but they also result in the improvement of the campus. The Senior girls have outwitted the boys of that class. It now looks as though the masculine half of the class of 1901 will wear gowns at the Com mencement exercises in June. The baseball season opens today. Everyone can now show his spirit by Jj&Uing out and cheering for tho team. Under the coaching of Booth, we have the promise of one of the best college teams in ti:e central wcp'c. It has been suggested by the mili tary department tha: the cadets be equipped with campaign hats and leg gings before going to camp. These with the white ducks which will soon bA worn will give the battalion a de cidedly unique and pleasing appear ance. A large number of tho battalion are in favor of the new movement and it will be pushed in the next few days. A surprising display of disloyalty occurred at the basket ball game on last Thursday evening. A number of university students occupying promi nent seats took up the cause of tho high school boys rooting most sys. tomatlcally for them. Such things as this discourage the team and throw cold water upon the enthusiasm of the crowd. It seems to us that college stu dents should be able to lay aside all prejudices and work for the common cause, namely the advancement of thqir Alma Mater. for tho final struggle to the end of this year. Tho early spring days offer tho most temptations to the average stu dent. Then it is that one has to watch himself and guard against the time they can squander, enjoying nature As a matter of fact some of the hard est work seem.: to show itself at the time when tlK student can the least combat against It. It therefore be hooves the "undcrgrad" to get down bone for tho next few weeks. The Nebraska Teacher for April con tains the following editorial upon the governor's ve:o,: "Governor Dietrich has placed him self in the attitude of extreme and un reasonable opposition to the educa tional Interests of the stnte. By ,'ils vetoes, apparently the result of preju dice rather than consideration, ho con tributes a serious handicap to the state normal at Peru and the State univer sity at Lincoln. He is cerralnly taking a serious responsibility upon himself, when he puts himself in opposition to a settled policy of the state. The fact that he has reversed tho almost unani mous expression of both parties in the legislature, the recommendation of ed ucational organizations and the un doubted sentiment of tho state will make It very dlfflcult to defeud his action." The Y. M. C. A. is now making its annual spring canvass for funds for next year. Blanks are out, ready to be filled out by the contributor Indi cating the amount subscribed and when payable. The association is a decid edly aggressive factor In the univer sity life and as such needs a certain amount of funds to carry on lt enter prises. In the past tho association has met with tho hearty support It (eserves and good results aro expected from tho present canvass. The action of Governor Dietrich in vetoing a part of the university appro priation will cause many hardships. All chance for advancement during tho next two years Is cut off. The governor evidently entered upon tho duties of his office with a firm de termination to cut down appropria tions. The Peru Normal bill was the first victim of "His Excellency's" strict economy. When the general appro priation went before him for consid eration, he stated his determination to veto the action for a supreme court commission. The denunciations of an enraged legal profession proved so strong that a reconsideration followed. However, according to the governor's idea retrenchment in expenditures must be carried out. Again, the educational facilities of the state had to suffer. The funds for the university were cut $90,500. The school system of Nebraska Is excellent and fast outstripping in ranks, tho sys tems of other western states. Our uni versity Is the crowning feature of It all. The strictest economy has been obsorved by every one during the past biennium. No one can urge oxtrava gance, yet the Executive of the state lias seen fit to cut off nearly one-sixth of our income. The excuse given by the governor was that the special levy for tho uni versity would not be sufficient to pro vido funds for tho appropriations. Previous records show that the spec ial levy will raise several thousand j moro than the appropriatlpn called for. 1 The finance committee of the house ' nnatflnrnrl Mi lntn uitfYlrilftiii Hfn r nn of the opinion that tho Governor was rather hasty In his decision. Time only can tell how much injury to this institution his action will bring about. Tho beginning of the second half of this semester is gone and now the munificent holidnys which aro grant ed annually to tho students have passed, and every one is nerved up ATHLETIC. There is nothing which a collego stu dent Is so prone to neglect as physical exercise. Students often complain that they aro unable ' to concentrate their minds on the subject in hand, that thoy are unable to read or study for any length of timo without becom ing drowsy; othcia are troubled with insomnia. All these disorders aro tho results of tho lack of exercise. Tho collego curriculum Is usually so arranged as to give the student ample time for physical exorcise, but It Is too often the case that this time Is used In pursuing extra studies. This may be done for a time by a student who is strong physically without seri ously Impairing his health, but it can not be indulged in without seriouB con sequences during the time required to complete a college course. At tho end of tho second year the student is usually obliged to leave school on ac count of ill health. The student should follow a sys tematic course of physical exercise In the same manner as a systematic course of study Ms pursued. There Is no better time for physical exercise than the hour following the closing of recitations. The student is then mentally tired. He has been exercis ing his brain during the day and, con sequently, there has been an excessive flow of blood to that organ. The blood must again be brought into active circulation, and In order to bring this about, It Is necessary that active exercise be engaged In. Let the student engage for one hour every day, Immediately after the last recitation period. In club drill, dumb-bell exer cises, running and other outdoor sports, breathing exercises,etc,;. and ho will find that he will not only be nble to master his lessons in a shorter time, but he will sleep well and Instead of rising in the morning with a dull, heavy feeling In the region of the brain, he will awaken refreshened, and thus be in better physical and mental condition for the work of the day. A class In physical culture and cal isthenics has been organized but the students have not manifested the in terest tha: is necessary in order to make the work a complete success. It is the intention of the director to vary the exercises form time to time by giving drills in the open air dur ing the next term of school. We trust that a large number of students will enroll in this class and thus secure tho benefit of it. l; proper physical exercises were engaged In by the stu dentsgenerally, there would bo a less number of consumptives, and their doctor bills would diminish greatly.
