A vory sonsoloss rumor lint, boon clr

Rlilorod Jt ndvlBablo to cIoro college
work itwo wcolrs oarllor Mils year on
account of luck of funds. Tho report
litis no foundation whatever and tho
matter has novor boon montlonod tit
faculty inoctlngs. Thoro would bo no
Raving of oxponso In any ovont. As
oiif professor put It, "Wo might savo
tho cost of oloctrlc light and gas bills
fonthoso two weeks, and I'd bo willing
to stand itihat myself." All Halarles arc
paid by tho year, tho wear and tear
on t,ho buildings would hardly -warrant
tiho regents In taking tho reported
l.op. It Is to bo regretted that tho
ro)K)rt was started and it Is hoped that
Rtudpiuts will do ovorythlng posslblo
to prevent Its spreading.
Do students ovor got nnywhoro or
do anything on tlmo? This is cortotnly
a porUnont question and In truth tlmo
ly. Well, to bo sure, do Ihoy ? A largo
number lukewarm lib collogo doings,
very many lato to classes, to oha-wl;
to socloty mootlngs, to rocoptlons mid
entertainments, to bed and to rise
nil Mioso answer "No." Why nro wo
not on timo? exclaims tho professor
who, ivltih a smllo, promptly locks Mio
door on tho sounding of the gong. Why
does the tlmo for handing In themes
and required work frequently have to
lo extended? It 13 certainly .not a
lack of hitorest. Is it on account of too
much work? It must ho simply, as
Proressor Wolf says, "a habit of tho
mind," and if so it is somo tiling to bo
discouraged.
Tho baseball situation this year pre
sents feaituros somewhat different from
tlioso of last year. Tho fact that thoro
is little talk loads somo to tho conclu
sion that little enthusiasm is mani
fested tut tho owning of tho season.
This, howovor, is a misapprehension.
Tho rlgldnoss and thoroughness of tho
preliminary training shows that tho
boys are keenly sonelblo of tho work
necessary for tho iiuccoss of tho col
lege team. Tlliolr motto Is push, vim
and persovoranco. Tho work and dis
cipline in itho gymnasium puts tho boys
In healthy condition physically for na
tive field practico and hence for moro
effective work.
Wo havo an abundance of good ma
terial. With six of last year's nine oar
nastly at work and other oholco players
eager for a position on tho team, tho
manager predicts vory favorable pros
pects. This Is certainly encouraging
and Is tho proper spirit to prevail. It
is our duty to athletics do have a team
tilmit can compote with tho eastern col
leges, or at least make a crodltablo
showing. With many dates planned
and delightful trips assured, a noble
Impulse 'Is surely givon for good play
ing during this season.
1'Mold day plans 1110 at present In a
nlato of unoontnlnty, Mr. Hvorolt, hi
whoso ihnndti tiho working up ot ar
rangoniontB was placed, did nothing
as ho has quit work for tills m-inuntor,
and ilt aooincd host, to tho athlotlo board
not do retain him longor in that posi
tion. Mr. Canioron In temporarily re
sponsible, but his tlmo will not allow
him to continue In ilhat capacity and
tiho board Is now looking for another
man. If tho lot falls on you, don't back
out, for Hold tiny niUBt bo 11 hiiccobh
this year.
Another Important question Jb tho
diito for Hold day, Thoro nro good rea
sons why It should coino In eoininoneo
niont week juid would thon ho Mon
day, .luno 8. It would add nnothor tu
trnutlou to tho conimouuomunt pro
gnini Jind by bolng moro witloly ad
vertised would bo moro largely a stale
and olty affair than it has ovor boon.
Then, too, il would give moro Mmo for
training and moro tlnioforUto woiklni!
up of arrangoniontB, tho proourlng of
lirlzes, etc. Ily tho way, a lino gold
motltil is to bo offered So tho wlnnor of
tho 100-yardB (intili, tiudur contain con
dltlons. Ask Cameron about this. The
principal objection to tho chnngo of
diUio is that nuii'.y men go homo utter
examination:;. It Is truo Unit a fow
good moil might bo lost In this way, hut
tho fuel scorns to lie that most of tlio
111011 intoiv'sted will roinnln If BUlIlcloni
iitduconient is 0 (To rod. Tho chancellor
says (that this ehungo ot date was niado
in tiio university of Minnesota in tho
nice of tiho above argument; that tho
now (Into was successful, and now tihoy
could not bo Induced to rovort to tho
old dtito. Tho question will bo thor
oughly discussed by tho regents, who
are- now In seuslon, as woil as tho ques
tion ot a small nppropraltlon for teach
ing aMilotlcs. It will thon bo dually
decided by tho athlotlc board tut Its
mooting i'Vlday afternoon. Thus it
will havo careful consideration from
all sides and if tho dato shall be com
inoneomont week ovory aUiloto should
abide by tho decision and do his best
to inako itho ovont a success, la any
case coino out and practice ovory ovon
ing north of tho gymnasium. A lino
now sixteen-pound lead shot is
in uso, a '111111111101 will bo
provtdled as soon as possible and
otihoi arrangenionits will bo made for
tho practico of every event. Special
attention will bo given to practice in
U10 running start, looking forward to
that gold modal. Don't delay your
practico till tho last week boforo Hold
day.
MONDAY AS A HOLIDAY.
(A question for consideration.)
In tho rush ami hurry of our univer
sity life, wlioti almost uvuryonu is
obliged to do more than ho should, It Is
an obvious necessity that wu havo oiu
day on which to Kiitlicr up the loose
ends of the past week and prepare for
the coming one. lAtu Is .somewhat of a
grind with us, and would bo much moro
so If it were not for our Saturday holi
day. But it would seoni that thuro Is an
other and more suitable day for this
act than tho one we now observe. The
average student lets go his grip, aftor
his last recitation of tho week. Usually
an 1 more especially at this time of year,
we only work in a half hearted way
on Saturday. Much time is unnecessar
ily wasted In loallng, small talk and
fixing up one's room." Tills Is natural
for one Justly tired after the strain of
the week.
An amazingly largo per cont of tho
students put tholr work off till Sunday.
They find 'It much easier to do so than
to bucklo down on Saturday. This prac
tice is pernicious lii its moral offect. Wo
havo boon taught from earliest child
hood that the Sabbath is a sacred day
of rest, and who labors unnecessarily
upon that day, sins against himsolf and
his God. Whenever tho normal man
or woman works on tho Lord's day lie
does violonco to his conscience, blunts
liis sense of right and wrong, and ren
ders each now offense more easy. The
physical effects should also bo noted.
Man needs ono day In seven on which
to rest his metal or phsical nature.
If he does not take this ho decreases
his nblllty to do good, clean work. Ho
Is as tired on Monday as Saturday nnd
raoro weary each succeeding week.
But putting off lessons till Sunday
does not got them, for the student Is
often more conscientious when that day
arrives than ho had expected to be. But
whether this Is tho true reason, or pure
laziness, Monday recitations are notor- ,
iously tho worst ,if the week. With- 1
out further discussion, It should now be
plain that lho oauno nf this Is largely the
fad thai our holiday comes on Satur
day. IloHldos tho cannon already stated,
it Is discouraging to havo to remem
ber four or live lewiniiH ovor Sunday,
with no opportunity to brush up on
them.
It would Hoom that If Monday were
given us as a holiday, almost all lho
disadvantages stated above would bo
done away with. Thorn would bo no ox
ciiMe for studying oil Sunday, Hlnco
thorp would alwnyii bo another day left
for that. Monday morning wo would
be bright nnd fresh and would bo uhlo
to accomplish twice iih muoh aB we now
do mi Saturday. Ono doos not need to;
drive himself to work when ho fpclfl
now vigor and strength In his veliin.
TIiiih there would be a saving of tlmo.
Wo would havo to work until aftor our
Inst recitation on Saturday nnd would
feel no Inclination to loaf on Monday.
Tuesday's recitations would bo the bom
of lho week, Instead of tho poorout, ns
Monday's now arc. Uoaldos all thin,
many of iih would bo able to xo homo
Saturday afternoon nnd utay over Sun
day without mining any chnti-cH on
Monday, or having In come back on the
Sabbath.
So, for moral, economic, physical, no.
elal and menial rmsons, It In clear that
Monday Ih tho normal holiday of the
university wook.
