The Stnto Univorsity cortiiinly novor was in u bettor position to withdraw from tho Stato Ora torical association, Tho charge of cowardice and foore-hoadodnoss cannot now bo hnrlod at us, for wo havo takon first place for tho last throo years and takon it with oaso. Tho iiuancoa of tho associ ation aro gotting into a doplorablo condition and no stops havo boon takon to romedy tho ovil. Tho groat majority of tho studonts aro in favor of tho movomont. AVhy not pay our sharo of tho dobt and withdraw ? Tho sconos of the last conven tion woro cortainly bonoath tho dignity of collogo studonts to say tho loast. What advantago is to bo gainod from such meotings? Had thoro boon somo groat prin ciple at stako, thoro might havo boon Borao oxcuso for tho actions of tho various delegates in that convention. Both sides woro wrong. Both woro standing on technicalities and fighting for all they woro worth. Tho side with tho president won, not the side that was in tho right. When an oratorical association has degenerated into an annual scramble for otlicos which preci pitates a disgraceful fight, it is time tho Stato Univorsity with draws. To AN unprejudiced mind, it would soom but right for Doano to havo second placo which was givon hor by tho judges. Al though tho dolivery of Wesloyan's representatives, in the minds of tho nudionce, was bettor, more polished, and finished, yet tho judges havo so decided, and it is not the placo of tho executive committee to sot it aside. As to taking advantago of a technicality, by throwing out Gates' marks on manuscript, this on tho face of it, is political dirt. The University of Nebraska is beneath taking part in such a two-penny farce. When Gates was admitted Fri day afternoon, it was known that her manuscript was marked and it was understood by all present that Gates was to enter the con test with full right to first placo if sho could get it. Why should Wesloyan now attompt to throw Gates out? It is quite evident. But tho members of tho executive committoo will do their duty. There has beou enough politics in this affair. Lot it stop with this, Tiie Nebraskan wishes to ontor a protest against tho article on titled, "Won First for a Wonder," which appeared in Saturday morn ing's Journal, and created such, a commotion in University circles. It Booms strango that any stodont of tho Univorsity, in order to gratify a personal grudge, should attompt to roiloot discredit upon tho institution and dotraot from tho victory of our orator, Ho stands as our ropr sontativo and is ontitled to tho support of tho wholo student body, Tho fourth artists' rooital will bo givon by Mr, Siovoking Tues day ovoning. Each succeeding ono has onjoyod an incroasod at londanco, and tho students should see that tho fourth ono is patron ized. Mr. Siovoking is to loavo us soon for an eastern tour, and those who havo not hoard him play should not mips this oppor tunity. Collogo Socloty. On last Friday ovoning at tho homo of Mrs. Frank Woods was celebrated the anniversary of tho founding of the Delta Gamma fraternity. Tho society is twonty throo year old and atoach succood ing yoar more of a featuro is mado of proporly celobrating its birth day. Tho house alroady boautiful as tho homo of a brido should bo, was docoratod with roses and smilax. As each girl arrivod sue was usnorou into a room whero in tho place of stato stood a bowl of roses, sont by Phi Delta Thota. Tho gonorous Phi boys would havo boon gratiiiod could they havo hoard tho chorus of delighted ejaculations thoso roses never hailed to call forth. Naturally tho spread was tho ovont of tho evoninj;. A long table glittering with cut glass and silver, of which Mrs. Woods has such profusion, extended the length of tho dining room, while smaller tables occupied ovory availablo cornor. The menu cards woro works of art, and woro designed by Miss Jessie Lansing. Vorv Lansing. dainty souvonires woro sont by Mrs, E. L. Nicholson. Aftor tho good things woro disposed of tho fol lowing toasts were (-' "" irn'on Miss Bessie Wing acting as toast- mistross. Our Hostess Josohino Tro maino. Is Marriage a Failuro? Mrs. Woods.

Nebraska Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Thota entertained a few guests Saturday ovoning at an in formal spread in the fraternity rooms. Covers woro laid for twenty-seven and soino witty re sponses to toasts were givon. In addition to tho local chapter tho following alumni woro presont; Gen. Webster, Messrs. Wostor man, Wing, Welch, Tucker, and Haggard. Ab a sequel to tho ovonts of last Friday in tho Oratorical As sociation convention and contost, WeBleyan is making a fight for tho second placo that Doano now holds. If tho manuscript marks of Gales aro thrown out on the ground that Gatos was not a mem ber when those marks woro made, thon tho ranks will bo changed so much that Essort will havo a highor placo than IConagy. The matter will bo decided by tho ox ooutivo committoo, consisting of Loavitt of Doano, Boattio of Oot nor, and Forbos of tho State Uni versity. If Essort rocoivos second, ho will bo chairman of tho delegation to tho Intorstato Asso ciation. As Wesleyan and Doano havo broken thoir Alliance, this complication might result in Doano not gotting tho Intorstato Prosidoney aftor all. CONTEST POSTPONED.
