MAY 10, 1911. Unknown nnd unappreciated It has becomo n part of tho dim past, dim wo may Bay for few have in their minds anything more than a hazy out line of what it meant tho oratorical contest. Yet there liafl been Biich a one held and it comes about every year under the auspices of tho law college. In spite of the fact that it 1b one of tho most credible things that collego has, it is tho only ono that doeB not bring forth much noise. ThlB is tho only oratorical contest held In the university and is worthy Furnishings D 1 1 f I For Men, Hot Weather , Col- II II II II lars. soft shirts, $1.00. mm m mm mm Knee Length Union Suits fl 41 E Q CT JL W. of more attention than It gets. Few Indeed are they who know that it ac tually occurs. It Is a sorry circum stance. This oratorical contest should mean something to the university. It is ono of tho great intellectual con tests of the year and should bo put on a par. with debate. True, Nebraska enters no intercollegiate contests and that may bo ono reason why there Is little interest taken. Wesleynn, Cot nor or any of tho small Bchools of our state are ahead of us. This should not bo. An effort shoull bo put forth to have a big oratorical contest every year. Later wo might bo able to enter some association. When next winter comes lot us not forget it. Let those In charge make moro public tho announcements. Get tho students arousad and competition will becomo stronger. Let us havo bo much Interest that oven Memorial hall would prove too small. As It Is, only a few are present to hear tho Bpeeches. ThlB cannot all be laid to the fault of the students, because they do , not know about It. Ono or two have come o.ut, but they are very coy. Each seems to fear the ridicule that always comes tp the first. But it Is time for thq straw hat and there Is no need to keep it under cover. Put them on, boye; they are all right. There is a limit to all things. It is not wise to undertake too much. The freshman hop committee might agree with us. The military and Pan-Hellenic balls will end tho dancing If the sale og tickets to the freshman hop Is any Indication of the effect of hot weather on such affairs. How over, there is no need to mourn as we have had a 'plenty of them. BANQUET FOR ANDREWS. Schoolmasters' Club to Honor Chancellor-emeritus. The NobraBka Schoolmasters' club will give a banquet Friday night In honor of Chancellor-emeritus Andrews. Dr. Ernest E. Burton of tho Univer sity of Chicago, will be the principal speaker, being in the first class which' graduated from Denison university af ter Chancellor Andrews became the head of It.

All Informa tion secured is hold in confidence, the material being secured for tho data it furnishes. As there is always consid erable Inquiry as to tho extent and number of students who earn money. out of school, or who are working their way through college, the only accurato method of obtaining this in formation 1b by means of circular let- tors and blanks to bo filled, out by tho students themselves.
