WHY NEBRASKA WINS.
The reason Nebraska won in the debate against Kansas last week can be found deeper than the speeches that were delivered that evening. There is a spirit in that school which protrudes itself in everything and on everybody, students and faculty, alike are imbued with it. Each student of that university showed by his actions that he believed that the team Kansas went up against was his team and that it was his duty to support it through thick and thin. They have spirit and enthusiasm, their motto is "Nebraska, right or wrong." It is a selfish principle and one in which there is not always the highest moral, but its actions are judged by results it cannot but be commended for it wins.
This spirit showed itself before the debate by about two thousand students wearing red and blue badges bearing, "Beat Kansas tonight," it showed itself after the debate when twenty husky fellows rushed upon the stage and proceeded to toss their debaters in the most approved style. If university spirit shows itself thus in debating contests, the least popular of student affairs, how much more so must it make itself felt in foot ball and basket ball.
One thing, Kansas must have a more united, more democratic student body, more whole-souled, whole hearted men who have the honor of their university at heart and are willing to support it on every occasion. In just as much as we are ahead of Missouri in spirit and enthusiasm, and just so often as we beat them in student contests, just so far is Nebraska ahead of us in spirit, and just so long as this continues will jayhawker pride be humbled to cornhusker spirit. —One who was there.
THE FRENCH PLAY.
The presentation of a four act comedy in a foreign tongue in lieu of the usual one act farce of previous years was such an innovation and so successful a bit of work that we shall mention once again "Le Voyage de M. Perrechon," presented last Wednesday night at the New Eldridge Hall before some two hundred and fifty spectators.
Only those who have had experience along these lines can quite understand the difficulty of preparing and staging one of these little plays. Therefore it can be said without hesitation that the work of Mr. Farragher, as Perrichon, was a revelation, being the best bit of this sort of acting that has yet been seen in Lawrence. He sustained his role with never a let-up until the end. His understanding and interpretation of the part and his pronunciation were worthy of honest praise. The success or failure of the play lay quite upon his shoulders, and to say that "Le Voyage de M. Perrison" has set a high standard in amateur dramatics is the best way of commending Mr. Farragher.
His support was consistently good. Miss Charvoz as Mada me be richon was capital. As Henbooks Miss Hull did not have so reaches
many lines but she acted out her ingenue part in a winsome fashion. Mr. Lapham as Daniel and Mr. Orr as Ormond were highly amusing in their rivalry. Mr. Stelter as the commandant was properly imposing and pompous while Mr. Klingberg as Jean, and Miss Vandergrift, in a fetching Swiss costume, as "L'Aubergiste are么 to be commended.
To Prof. Jones, to Mr. Morrow and to all those who gave of their good time and patience towards the staging of the play, the department desires to extend their earnest thanks.
