ONLY one class in the University has had a party or anything of the kind this year. It is perhaps because man is a political animal first and a social one afterwards. Anyhow there is no excuse now for neglect of these occasions which compose the greater number of the all too brief moments of self-consciousness in the life of a class.
WELL Nebraska, we did it. And now you can't possibly expect us to let you come down here and win that debate next Spring, because that would be admitting that we can't talk and think as well as we can push and kick. No. Whether your boy orators be from the Platte or from Salt Creek, they will find abundant food for thought in what we have to say on the other side of the question for debate.
THE WEEKLY wishes to heave a sigh of relief. The election is over and people have almost ceased disagreeing about it. There is no occasion now for students to talk each other red in the face on the money question. The hateful spirit of intolerance which has filled the minds, and poisoned the tongues of many, even in the University, will soon die out. Moreover it is to be hoped that matters at home will now receive some attention, and that a little enthusiasm will manifest itself for such matters as the coming debates and oratorical contests.
THE tide has turned! Fortune again smiles upon us! Victory perches serenely on our triumphant banner! We feel that the game played by the team which we are proud to call "ours" was worthy of the University. All lurking doubt and criticism vanish before such a display of cool, scientific, and "clean" playing as was made by the team last Saturday. Nor have we anything but good words for the boys from Nebraska. They played in good form almost without exception and showed the effect of hard work and careful coaching. But the tricks which gained them the victory over Missouri were not able to save them here, and the simple truth—now a week old but no less true—is that they were outplayed.
