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

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.
