EDITORIAL NOTES.
flNCE the foot ball game at Omaha our boys are
anxious to meet some other team, and are
looking about for the next victim. At latest ac
counts almost every one is in favor of making arrange
ments for a game with Doane College at some time
in the immediate future.

F the many things needed by our students, that
which is most needed is competent instruc
tion in elocution. I he Hesperian feels that it
voices the sentiments of all students, regardless of
college politics, when it says that there should br
established in the University a thorough course in
elocution.
JjT is only fair that students should patronize those
(p business men who advertise in the college
paper. A college paper must depend for financial
success largely upon advertising. A college is quite
frequently judged by its paper. For this reason all
who feel an interest in the success of the University
should, when other things are equal, patronize those
who have advertisements in The Hesperian.

in the near future. This is, it seems, a sten in Mi-
right direction. If the faculty desires to encourage,
athletic sports there is no better manner in which
that spirit can be shown than by providing a suitable
place for our athletes to practice. Ordinarily people
do not care to engage very extensively in out-door
sport when there is danger that' tl.ey may be injured
by coming into contact with trees and other obstacles
of a like nature. Trees aie all right in their proper
place; but since our campus is so small, it would be
better if nearly all of them were removed. It seems
to us that the amount of ground available for use by
those ot us who arc athletically inclined is entirely
too small. Let the work of removing trees go on
until the whole space of the two blocks west of the
main building is cleared. Then there will be room
enough for foot ball and base ball enthusiasts to prac7
