Til E HESPERIAN of the legislature. Unfortunately there is a feeling in some parts of the state that the University is too expensive and it is for the students to overcome this feeling. If the University isjto thrive in the future as it has during the past few years it must not be hamper ed by any such teeling as this. If it pays to support an educational institution at till, it pays to support it lib erally. Good university professors cannot be se cured at the same salary that is given to high school professors. When the legislature is making appropri ations for the University next winter we hope that they will bear this fact in mind. TiljITH every prospect of success thejithletic asso rt 3 ciation has reorganized and starts out this year fu 1 of life and vigor. The officers elected aie men of experience who will lubor for the advancemeel of athletic sports. But without the earnest and loyal support of the whole body of students, the efforts of the officers will be in vain. We hope, therefore, to see every man in the University become a member of the association and lend financial support to the or ganization. It is impossible that the desire of all aspirants ior positions in the base-ball nine and the foot-ball team should be gratified. Only the best men will be chosen for these positions. But no one should take offense at this for it is only fair. The members of the association will be permitted to use the association property and this priviligc is surely worth much more than the price of membership. VING to the damp weather Fridoy eveninj ire of the Freshmen and Sophomores was pletely cooled down. The rush has been postpo Meanwhile the two classes will keep their muscl trim even thouch their studies suffer. Cane are alright, but when they hang fire too long a amount of nervous cnercv is necessarily wasted. the rush will occur next Saturday unless Nature again interposes and prevents. ru rthc onr ed. :sin shes ;reat But HE Hrsperian would like to know whethear the base ball team or the classical club or the -aion-partisan prohibition club is to be revived first. All three of those organizations are evidently in need of some kind of a stimulus, but from the nature ot tkmeor ganization we would not ad visa such a remedy for the prohibition club; yet it is to.behoped that themeraobers of that organization may soon discern some sort of a tonic that will put it upon its feet without delays Jf N the iosf number of Tub Hesperian there was t some advice intended primarily for new stu dents. Now there are with us again this year certain young folks, who acted in a very foolish manner last year and we hope that they may be able to realize by this time, how exceedingly rediculous they must have appeared to outsiders. We refer to the "sleek"young man who parts his hair in the middle and wears his hat on the back of his head, shaves two or three times a week, stands around the halls and tries to look dudish, and for what? He is just simply work ing all the members of some fraternity and trying to induce them to join him. Young man, you had bet ter reform, The frats know well what vou are nfrr and esteem you accordingly. You can never attain the goal of your desires by such performance. You are hooted at equally by barb and frat. But such desires are not confined to the sterner part of our students. Some of fair ones too, have been known to be similerly affected' it is to be hoped that they will all succeed some day for if there is anything more disgusting than such a person we have so far failed to discover it. jHE frats are congratulating themselves because a 11 man who read The Hesperian last yeaTwas so favorably impressed with the beauties of frater nity life that he resolved to become a Greek wr.en he came to the University. We can congratulate our selves also, for there are a few new students here this year whom we think would make excellen - frats and who would miss their calling if they did nct suc ceed in becoming allied to some such organizat Son of dudes and snobs. Moreover a man who wou Id de velop into a good, typical frat would be a most com plete failure in a liteiary buciety and it woul-cl be a misfortune for any literary society to secure such a member. For this reason we are glad that The: Hes perian has succeeded in showing some peoples what kind of a society they should join and it shall 3be our policy to endeavor to confer a like benefit upon some more. tfjjf T the last field day an athlete of the University V was not allowed participate in the contests be cause he was not a regular student here and localise he was supposed to be somewhat of a "professional." NTritlP if IP nailniil.. .11 1.1 .t ... ywjcuuy uuuwnoie to ooject to a rcnan on either of these grounds and we desire to see thae same principle applied to oratorical contests. It is just as fair for such a man as the one referred to, enter an athletic contest as it is for real estate ae- is and preachers to be allowed to enter oratoricitel C(ii twts. If preachers are not "professional" speakers, then we may be pardoned for asking who are c 'profes sional' speakers. And from observotions caude of mic u is not aimcuit to see that some preachers are
