Editorial Remarks
Any general movements or affairs
affecting tho students of the University
In general should bo deserving of spe
cial notice, and especially If they ac
complsh good work, of commendation.
We refer especially to the Men's Meet
ings held each Sunday In the Y. M. C.
A., which are addressed by the best
talent that can ho secured. No more
uitlng plan for assembling together In
a meeting for religious purposes so
large a body of University students has
ever been put Into practice here. These
meetings are held on such an extensive
scale that they embrace a large portion
of the young men of the University
and read Into their lives teachings of
tho most valuable character. They ac
complish a useful purpose and In many
instances bestow lasting benefits.
probably Bafe to say that maybe one
out of a hundred Is ready. For the
vast unwritten majority, perhaps, a
few words of advice, such as we would
have appreciated, may not be amlsB.
Forget the word "theme." Think of
argument, discussion, plea, essay,
story, dissertation, composition, any
thing but "theme," and your writing
will be so easy. The word "theme"
tiansports us from this sordid earth
on wings of light to realms of sublime
grandeur upon which we fear to look
lest we profane. Visions of the poots
from Homer down, of Wagners, Beo
thovens and Mozarts pass before our
bewildered, awestruck, wondering eyes,
and inspired we attempt to do Justice
to our "theme" with such subjects as
"The Altruism of the Soul,' etc., etc.
To write of such things prosuposes a
certain amount of knowledge of the
subject, and of courso we are blinded
and stumble, fall and dread to rise
for fear of the brooding fiend "theme,"
which hovers like a gloom around us.
Just call your task a story or an ar
gument, an essay, and see how much
easier tho ttilng becomes. You can
write a story about anything and do
It artistically, and after all that is
what is wanted. What good Is a beau
tiful dtess for empty words. Better
words with thought. So don't look too
far away for your material for there Ib
lots of It near at hand. Just pick up
something that you know, tell what you
know about it the best way you can,
and the bug bear vanishes, the draw
back assumes an alluring aspect, you'll
find pleasuie In your task and really
look forward to tho Junior "theme;"
no, not "theme," never, but story.
FUND MOUNTS HIGH.
Two debate with strong schools
hae been arranged, and the first signs
of a whirlwind of lntelectual activity
are beginning to appear. While tho
actual work of preparing for the pre
liminaries has not yet begun, there la
a restlessness among our debaters that
Indicates that they will not be slow in
coming to the front when the call is
counded. Our teams this year will be
trained after the same methods that
have formerly brought such great suc
cess, and which our neighboring insti
tutions have been adopting In a more
or less modified form. So In the future
we may meet rivals who will fight us
with our own weapons.
The debate with Kansas will be be
yond doubt more interesting than ever.
The Kansans have always been a hard
proposition, and since they have adopt
ed our methods of debating we may ex
pect them to excel all former showings
this year. We will meet them on our
own groundB. and the contest will be
worth seeing. Kansas has laurels to
recover, and we-have former victories
to crown. Such a combination can
only result in a strife fought ont-iir-tue
most determined manner to a finish In
which both sides will be strong.
Washington Coliege Is a new rlvaj,
and we are glad to make her acquaint
ance In the manner opened to us. She
Is one of the largest and strongest In
stitutions in the midwest and Is said
to stand high in debate. Therefore It
is all the more desirable to us that we
should meet her. This Is the first step
that we will have taken beyond the
natural boundaries of our activities In
debate, and It may result In bringing
us Into relations with a class of In
stitutions whose standing makes them
opponents to be sought after.

Delta Upsilon Pledges $500.
Palladians Make Big Pledge.
T'.ie Temple Fund continues to enjoy
a lieal thy growth, having been recent
ly swelled by substantial additions.
Tuesday evening Delta Lp&ilon frater
nity held a meeting and pledged $500.
This being the Initial movement emong
the fraternities toward helping out the
fund, It can be especially appreciated,
and the example Is Indeed a worthy
one. Such a generous contribution
coming from an organization of limited
membership Is encouraging to the
movers in the work, as well as helping
to increase the grand total.
The Palladians have pledged $1,500
an undertaking that lb certalnlj worthy
of praise. They have set a pace for
the other societies, which It 1b hoped
they may soon see lit to follow. The
Palladians have 900 names on their
roll, ai d can thus reach a comparative
ly large number of old University stu
dents. The rommlttec Is also encouraged by
the voluntary offers of services that
have been made. Several have volun
teered to use their Influence In collect
ing funds among their acquaintances.
A member of the Pawnee City club,
n organization composed of Univer
sity alumni, has volunteered to pre
sent the matter before his -fellow club
members. During the past few days. It
looks like to ime a homely phrase
they have been falling over each other
to get into the band wagon. Mr. Rocke
feller has extended the limit for the
collection of funds, and everything no
looks bright for the realization of the
alms and purposes of the committee In
raising the necessary amount. The
fund Is now between $18,000 and
$19,000.
