The author of tho article uses sentences running n 1,7-1,, Oil and 7.'!, words, with numerous semi-colors, and then expects us to see the advan tage of such use.

Manager llcnnlsnn of the baseball team certainly deserves the praise of the I'nlvorslty for the work ho has al ready done with regard to the coming Hiason. filtering olVice opposed by the faction which has run baseball mutters in the University for several years he encountered much opposition to his plans. However, after a moat wearisome. correspondence he has red ely to present to the University public the uiost elaborate schedule ever ar ranged by any manager of the Univer sity team. If Mie season is not. entirely suc cessful it will not. lie on account of any lack of hard and systematic elVorts on the part of the manager. The list of athletic trophies Is grow ing and soon there ought to lie a cham pionship trophy for almost every event. Such being the case would no doubt spur many good men to enter Hie lists who now feel that they can not afford the time. The largo athle tic dub of the east recognize this fact and sooner or later the spirit of love for college will outgrow the personal desire of winning or of gaining a trophy. There is no reason why we cannot turn out a flue, track team and an excellent all-around athlete. The O'Mnhaney gold medal ought, to serve as an inspiration and tho man winning the snme must be an athlete and an honor to the University. That debating consists of something i,i more man mere thought and expeeta- L tion is shown by the fact that of the sixteen successful contestants twelve cither are taking or have taken a course in elocution. Delivery is not all neither Is argument, absurd as tho ex pression may scum, one- of the judges remarked that, he favored high mark ing of one contestant because "he didn't try to cram it down our throats." The medium between too mild expression and over earnest de livery Is difficult to obtain and re quires months and yeais of practice. The most successful of the recent de haters were those who have taken tho most work in the department of elo cution.

The entrance of political wire pulling and innchtuaMon Into Mio elec tion of the board of editors for Mio Sombrero is rightly to lie deplored. Those members of the olass who at tempted to ride Into olllce by unfair means certainly have no one but themselves to blame for the adverse criticism that is being heaped upon them. Tho attempt to fasten upon the olass a board of editors who Could lie nothing but the representatives of one faction and who could only he elected by the application ol a gag rule deserved nothing but the failure which it received. The sophomore class lias a few tilings yet to learn. The most Impor tant thing at present is that a junior annual cannot, be published with such a division in the olass as now exists. The experience of other classes lias boon that only by vigorous and united effort on the part of the whole class can such a thing lie accomplished. If tho various candidates had any realization whatever of the magni tude of the undertaking, Mir. strife for the different positions would be de cidedly tame. It will bo absolutely impossible for the class of WOO to get out an annual unless conditions ex isting last Friday are not materially changed before the election of the an nual board occurs. Any man or men who accepts the business manage ment of the enterprise does so at the risk of serious financial loss. It is to be hoped that the members of the class have enough loyalty to the University and their own organiz ation to forget their petty differences and act for the best interests of the sombrero. The century class has enjoyed the best of reputations since entering col lege life and It will be a great pity to allow internal quarrels to wreck Hie most mportaut affair in its whole uni versity existence. Then, is no doubt Mint external conditions for Mie pub lication of a junior annual an; most (latterlng. If the .Sophomore class ilncn not publish one the disgrace will oe upon their own heads.

In a recent issue of the Hesperian, a paper claimed to be strictly repre sentative of the University and its in terests appear several articles which at least need comment. Especially is this so willi reference to a certain article appearing In "IJlxby's Retreat" which seriously reflects on a new fra ternity nnd fraternities in general. In that article there is a reference to jack pots and goodly sized beer glasses. The Inquiry being as to how these new fraternity men wi!! conduct themselves when called upon to handle the above mentioned articles. The only possible inference to be drawn is that any man as soon as he joins a fraternity must necessarily become proficient in the arts of gam bling and become a drinker of some sort. I do not know the writer or the article in question but T do know that what he would have people be'ieve Ih an absolute falsehood and if lie does not know it he certainly ought to. Anyone who reads that article and who has no other information an hand will necessarily believe that- the frater nity men of the University of Nebras ka are a gambling, drinking set. It is evidently the wish of the writer or that screed to have such a belief be come prevalent through theunlvcrslty city and state and especially in the ac credited high schools where the Hes perian is circulated at University ex pense. It Is d(f"k.ilt to billeve that unjoin who write for il., n, pi linn is so nb solutel. in itwrniii of exlstinif to. in" imil i'iiiIiiih e i'ii )d ine it. iiilimis nv in I'clietr wh.il ho wrol.' nnd Mie onI, probable explanation Is Hull (lie wilier Ih a willful and innli eloiiM fulHillcr. The Hesperian is supposed jo i, ., nil round rcprcNonlutlvo Uulvomlly pa per. 11m oil I torn promised to tnitlte It such Mils ,cnr In mir Mint II might lie circulated by the University author. Hies through Iho accredited high Nchools of the state, Is II a. part of its duty to malign the fraternities of Mie university nnd to publish such tin triilhs as In their members? The In tluonco which arises from this article In general In lis character and as s .ci Includes owry fraternity man in the University of Nehrnskik. The Hespe rian stands on record us charging that wo the fraternity men of thlsuiilversl ly are gamlilern and drinkers, I douot think It can be questioned that I am a fully conversant will) fraternity affairs as anyone on the Hesperian stall' and I unhesitatingly deny the hit plleailon and charge that the only pos sible Inference to he drawn from Mint article Is a fabrication pure and sim ple II Is evidently Mie wish of Mie Hes perian to prejudice lis readers against fraternities individually ami collec tively. If Mils is done by fair moans all well and good for It Is tne repre sentative of the barbarian element In Mie school. Naturally It is its duty to stand up for (lie barbarian Interests mid the barbarian cause but when it descends to such contemptible false hoods us were published in the late Issue It certainly culls for contradic tion of some kind. The Hesperian is welcomed to wage Its warl a re against fraternities. We can stand it if fair moans are used hut we do object to such slanders as ap peared in the Issue of .lanuary !H. t'KAKl I..
