Over Uarley's Dru: Siore.
One of our new students feels somewhat offended at a
Med, for calling him a dude. The gentleman must not
feel hurl, for in Lincoln the word dude has taken the
place of University student and carries just as many lau.
rels with it as does that noble title. ,
One of the boys dressed in blue gave us an interview
the object of which was to discuss the reason his name
appeared in the paper. We are sorry we cannot inter
view ever' one when we have something to bay about
them, but it is out of the question.
A lonely look in the face of (lie Preps is noticiablc. It
seems that the scratching of the state twice a week is more
than some of them can stand. Never mind, some of our
greatest men have been left in their first undertakings but
they stuck to the old motto "try, try again."
The end of the term is drawing near and all are pre
paring for examinations; after the trials jid tribulations
of this ordeal, a majority of the students will leave for
their homes. We think all admit that the Ciiristmas
holiday is the most pleasant part of the year.
The Monday morning before examination week the
cadets did not mi-et a very warm reception when they
went to drill, for the door was locked and there was no
one to unlock it. It happened, for tome unknown cause,
to be a very chilly day and the boys amused themselves
by kicking their toes against the clone wall, waiting for
some one to come, but that some one came not and the
cadets slowly dispersed. Tliip mistake was made through
some misunderstanding occurring during of the Lieuten
ant's sickness.
The O'Shca contest has come and gone. Victory lias
perched upon the Pal Indian banner. Hardly won, and
well deserved, is the glory. So closely pressed the Unions
upon them that man' feared, ntliT believed the victory
theirs. The prize would well have been earned ty
either.
Saturday, while Mr. Breech was nut with a skating
party he broke though an air hole into the icy water of
Salt Creek. Ho might have drowned if it Mad not been
for the presence of mind of those who were with him;
hut iu a few minutes lie was out and in his room relating
the incident to his fellow students.
As the different seasons of the year come round our
duties vary. Durirg the summer the grain grows; in the
fall it is gathered and prepared for threshing; and now
after the threshing is all over the wheat stored in the
graneries and the straw in the loft every one is prepar
ing to take their yearly holiday after the seasons' work.
A worthy gentleman who lias been connected with the
Student for some years past, and whose name applies to
to that part of the twenty-four hours not called day, is
making more trips into the northern part of town than
his meals really require. What can the attraction be? If
discovered it will appear in the next issue of the Student.
During the Thanksgiving vacation the Union and Pal
lad i an literary societies held a social for those students
who did not go home. The order of the evening was a
short program and after this a general good time, which
every one entered into with the best of spirits, and all
went home feeling that they had spent aver' pleasant
evening.
Since thelast issue of thu Student we have had auo'her
lecture by Dr. Mcrriam, of Omaha. The gentleman
seemed to have a complete understanding of the subject of
'lie lecture. He was very concise and kept his hearers
interested in every thins: tint was said aud when he caino
to the end it was evident he knew when inil how to stop,
which is an excellent trait.
One of the most interesting and instructive entertain
ments given thus far for tiiis season in the city, was the
lecture by Professor Swing on the "History of the Use
ful aud the Beautiful." To us, at least, he introduced a
new phase of the subject of history, suggesting an entire
ly new classification of some historical events, their
causes, and effect, to the student of history, of incalcul
able import.
A member of the higher class in Algebra; "Well I've
found out a last what time it is at six o'clock in the
morning!" "Aud now" said his hitherto attentive list
ener, "suppose for the sake of humanity, you calculate
the variations in time between the so-called standard
time and that kept by our janitor." "Impossible!" ex
claimed the first; "it would involve mathematical prin
ciples that I've never had as yet."
This simple and yet novel way of publishing an enter
tainment at the opera house has been devined by a cun
ning senior. "The literary contest between the Union
and Palladian societies will take place December li, 1881
Admission twenty-five cents to a seat on the floor, and
fifteen cents lor the gallery. Some one should bo real
early, get that gallery, and his best girl aud have a
picnic watching the other take their seat on the floor."
Immense fun!
