Enster Is the appropriate time for new clothes, In honor of the season tile NitliKASKAN appears in 11 new form. We feci that this Is necessary in onler to give room for the news of nn ever grow ing institution like the U; of N. We hope to receive an increase of patronage to correspond with the increased amount of reading matter which we propose to furnish. The quality will be up to and even above our old standard. With this issue the editor-in-chief of the NmiRASKAN must make his farewell, in his official capacity, to the public. Pres sure of regular school work compels him to lay down the pen which he has wielded with pleasure to himself if not with profit to his readers. In so doing he wishes to thank the university public for the forbearance they have shown to his shortcomings and to thank his col leagues for their able assistance. To them he cheerfully gives credit for what has been done well and with equal cheerful ness taken the blame for what has been done ill. With every good wish for the future success of the paper, he hands it over to his successor. We heartily endorse the action of Professor Adams in attempting to arran ge a debate between the University of Kansas and the University of Nebraska. A joint debate will awake new interest in debating in both institutions. There is no doubt that the students of the Uni versity are in favor of the debate. Ar ranginents should be made at once for the year's contest. Just at present the students of the University are not in favor of quitting the Oratorical Associa tion. We need not. Oratory and de bating are not antagonistic. They arc both helpful in developing 11 good speak er, but if we can have bnt one, let us quit oratory and arrange a joint debate. It is more practical. The debater tries to convince; he argues. He has a point to carry. He must be shrewd, logical, earnest. The orator, in an oratorical contest, strives more to please than to convince. He sacrifices substances to form. When the student leaves his Alma Mater, he leaves behiud him col lege oratory, but not debating. He then learns in active life the benefit of college debates. We would not forsake the oratorical contest, but let us have a joint debate. From all prospects at present the Uni versity of Nebraska will have an excel lent baseball team. There are many promising new men, and with such of the old meji as arc still with the team the prospects are most encouraging. The boys have taken advantage of the recent fiue weather and already play good ball. As yet the team has taken no definite form, but one thing, at least, is certain, when formed there will still be a good nine. What we wnnt, both in the football and baseball teams, are men who have trained and worked for their posiiions. Competition for the va rious positions is what develops a win ning team. Let every baseballist be on the practice grounds and encourage the boys. The continual agitation upon the "bru tality of football has led the lovers of that sport to investigate the matter. Captain Dern of our team has received the following letter from Walter Camp, the great coach of Yale: Nbw Havrn, Conn., March 6, 1894. Capt. University Pootoam. Tkam. Dear Sir: Enclosed please find set of blanks with proper stamped envelope for return. Will you kindly get the members of your team of '93 to fill in the blanks and return them to me by as early a day as possible? Thanking you in advance for the kind ness, pray believe me, Truly yours, Wai.tkii Camp. P. H As a spi'cinl favor will you gel some member of the faculty to enclose with these a brief statement (I say brief because I do not want, to impose upon his time too much, but I should be glad of anything he would write) of Lis opin ion of tle effect of the sport upon the scholarship and discipline of the stu- 1 dents at the University of Nebraska. The blanks enclosed ask the following questions: 1. How many years, both in school and college, did you pin" football? 12, What was the most serious injury you ever received on the field? 3. Was it permanent? 1. Was it received in practice or in a game? f. Did you consider yourself in good condition at the time? (5. Do you consider the general effect of the sport upon you physically and mentally, good or bad? It is not known whether these statis tics ate being taken simply lo gel at the truth or falsity of the growing stories, which are gradually drawing popular prejudice against tL? game, or whether they are to be used in connection with the proposed change? in the rules. Notes on the Contest. The Wesleyaus are to be commended for the royal manner in which they entertained the delegates and the officers of the State Association. After the con vention, Chancellor Crook tendered them a reception and then the college banqnettcd them. It is a matter of re gret that some of the delegates did not stay to enjoy the festivities. A very common remark made by stu dents or our neighboring College during the late fight over the float delegate was, "I can't understand you fellows at the State. When we have a fight here we never speak to our opponents, we say everything mean we can of each other, but you seem to be the best of fricuos. To a stranger you seem to be working harmoniously together ami have nothing but good words to say of each other." We can only say that we do not go into the fight like little children, and pout around if we are defeated. We may not go to Chapol every morning, and once in a while we are guilty of studying on Sunday; we may not be posted on the latest theological discusions, but we learn what is of much more importance, to treat our fellow students like men as much entitled to their opinions as we are. The burning question of the hour is, "What did the judges on the state con test cost?" The NUIiKASKA WKSI.VAN. The above is a slander on men who kind ly consented to act as judges in our late contest. The character of the judges makes it unnecessary to answer this slur. This local is the ofisprim; of Mr. Shank's distempered mind immediately after the contest and ho perhaps he is excusable. "The contest wheel has received one more turn. Oratory and the Louisaiia State lottery scheme seems to be some what mixed up "The Wusi.VAN. Oh, Nd, Mr. Shank, no one questions your right to fourth place. The Kill-Time Whist club had the first meeting Saturday evening. The club enjoyed the delightful hospitalities of Mrs. llerlett at her fine residence, corner Sixteenth and K. The first meeting was an experiment but the success was so pronounced that regular meetings will be arranged for the rest of the year, and prizes will be given to the winners. The club is composed of those who play the game because they like it, and belong to this club because they like the members therein. Members present were: Misses Ames, Ingersoll, Priel, McDowell, Rey nolds. Grace Thompson, llerlett, Sizer, Messrs. Saunders, Clements, Yont, Er win, Shreve, Kimball, Lyons, B. Wilson, Tecle.
