THE NEBRASKA State Oratorical Association is in a very bad condition. People up that way seem to have lost faith in oratory since election.
Now that the larger universities of the East have abandoned the playing of foot-ball games on Thanksgiving day it is to be expected that smaller institutions will do likewise, and thus avoid the popular criticism which has been aimed at this feature of the sport. It is no discredit to follow a good example, and we believe that the management of the University team should not make any more Thanksgiving dates.
PRINCETON is said to have a stuffed tiger which presides over the destinies of her foot-ball team. And we have been expecting to hear that the Missourians had decided to use taxidermical means to preserve the Columbia tiger which died so suddenly on Thanksgiving day. But the fact is that the tiger in question was entirely too dead to skin, and not even Prof. Dyche could have straightened out the kinks in its much twisted tail.
IF WHEN reading the newspapers on file in the library a student finds anything that pleases him, he should at once proceed to take his knife and cut it out. He will always have it then where he can refer to it. To be sure there are perhaps a hundred other students who will wish to read the same paper and who may be so unreasonable as to think that it ought to have been left unmutilated; but since the papers are kept on file for this one student's especial benefit, and since, in order not to set a bad example, he was careful to do his clipping when nobody was looking, there is really no ground for them to complain. If people knew who he was they might make it uncomfortable for him, but they don't know, and their foolish wrath is as harmless as an ultimatum of the Allied Powers. So let this privileged youth make himself perfectly at home in the newspaper room, and be just as much of a nuisance as he pleases.
