o college where athletics and ora
tory exist Is more than half a College
unless both of these Nourish. The
average student Is apt to be too one
sided. For instance, he will cheer on
ly for orators and debaters and hiss
all attempts to boom athletics. An
other will do exactly the reverse. The
result of this Is one-sldednesx on the
part of all the students, although two
sides claim a part. Then why for the
good of oratory and debating and
athletics can we not get together. In
stead of leaving the management of
athletics to a few not generally rep
resentative students and giving up all
power to these few next time put on
the board of control fellows who will
hne the good of the University at
heart and not the gloritleatiou of their
special sport or branch of athletics.
It would seem very foolish for any
,oung man, especially one in the Uni
versity, to enlist in any national guard
company at the present time.
There is no immediate prospect be
fore the militia of actual service; no
other prospect except a camp of six
months or so at hard drilling and on
poor fare. The advice given to the
t cadets and students by the Governor,
the Chancellor, the Deans and Lieu
tenant Stotseiiberg was directly to the
point. There is no need at present
and when the need arises then will
be room for us all. No one doubts for
n moment but that the University will
come strongly to the front should the
exigencies of the occasion require.
The object In giving the O'Mahoney
medal was to bring out nil that was in
the men in the University. The result
did not show that this was done with
the one exception of I'illsbury. The
standard was purposely put high with
the object of forcing the men to great
er effort than they might x Inclined
to make if no standard were required.
It seems to have had the effect of forc
ing or scaring them out. The donor of
the medal seems to Ik of the opinion
that the standard was not too high
and cites the work of Pillsbury in sup
port of his assertion. Pillsbnry's work
exceeded his own expectations and
that of his friends and there is no
saj ing what other members of the
University might have done tinder the
adverse circumstances. Another
thing to be considered was the very
poor ground which the athletes had
for their meeting. When we remember
that but thirty-five KinU were need
ed to make up the necessary 400 re
quired, that the track was simply
wretched, and thnt the competition
was not close, it does not seem Im
probable that with a decent track and
close comK'tition the requirements in
the case would be fulfilled. As are
certain of having a decent track for
our next competition we Iiojhj that
next j ear's pentathlon will be all thnt
is desired as an athletic content.
In the meantime get to work on the
track.
Dr. Wiley G. Woodruff, of Kansas
Nebraska football fame and the undy
ing champion of "my boys" who were
defeated by n score of 30 to 5 when
they should hae been victorious bv
a score of 30 to 0, Is raising a regiment
of volunteers in the Kansas State Uni
versity. He expects to recruit four
or five hundred students and join a
body of Pennsylvania students from
the University of Pennsylvania under
the command of his brother.
All the old foootball players are said
to be fnlliriGT all over themselves in
their haste to enlist under their be
loved doctor.
If the students who enlist from Ne
braska -were only Spaniards how Dr
Wiley G. Woodruff -would enjoy lead-

'lie ChlcagO'MIchlgan debate wlmh
oyeMm- tonight at Ann Arbor proinNes
,t'p be hotly contested. Chicago, putt
ing by the experience of the team re
cently ent out to Columbia, will not
have her debaters deliver Hot speeches.
and as they are on the negative of the
question they will devote thcjuselwH
to argument In rebuttal. Although, of
course, we know nothing about de
bates or debating, yet, this plan com
mends Itself to us. If we remember
rlghtl, one of the 'DO Kansas debaters
dropped IiIh set speech and used en
tirely this sort of argument.
We thought Mils the best, speech of
the debate, but of course, again, the
judges did not agree with us. lty the
way. we atended this debate with .mr
ear trumpet.
The ball team leaves today for Its
southern trip. After looking over the
chosen ones there is little dbuht that
the stnmgest team has been selected
that cm Id have been. Coach, mana
ger am captain participated In the se
lection and little criticism can 1h
spoken
It is expected that the University
will win a majority of the games for
our teams Is a very fast one.
Especially U it to be desired that
the boys make a, strong showing at
Kansas State University where they
will meet our old enemy.
No one doubts that arepltlUonofour
prelous victories will be, scored.
Tlie signal victory over Colorado
College in the inter-state debates is
encouraging and our debaters are to
Iw congratulated. It must seem pecu
liar to some people, that the evident
interest taken by alumni of the Uni
versity in debating is not iwrne out
in th student body. - the Denver
ilumui who accorded our debaters
Mich a rousing welcomej, could have
keard the llrst cheer raised in honor of
the victory, surely their courage would
have fallen. It is a positive indiffer
ence or merely "too busy"? We hope
the latter.

Two of the auxiliary cruisers pur

Harvard and the Yale.
The mot successful kidnapping for
years has taken place at Itrown Uni
versity, and occurred Mnrch l, when
the Sophomores seized and hound the
officers of the Freshman class, put
them on board a tug and carried them
to Newport. The occasion for this
was the regular Freshman banquet.
he board of the '99 Annual at
I'rown published a nrody which the
faculty considered offencive, and lias
ordered that every copy of the page
in question must be surrendered or ac
counted for to him by a certain date.
Failing in this, the thirteen members
of the iward will be compelled to leave
the University.
The first native woman in China to
hang out her shingle with an 51. D. up
on it is Miss Ida Kohn, who graduated
from the medical department last year.
She came to this country about six
years ago to study medicine, and now
she has returned to her native tdwn
Kin Kiang, on the Yangste Hirer.
Her countrymen doubtless consider
her a new woman of the most advanc
ed type, and at first she will probably
have more time on her hands than pa
tients on her list. While in this coun
try she wore the oriental garb only
on holidays, and liked the American
style so well that she intends to intro
duce some reform in dress among her
countrywomen.
COLLEGE REL1GIOI- CENSUS.
The results of the religious census
of the State Universities have recently
beeu published by Professor Francis
W. KeUey, of the University of Mich
igan. These figures have been com
jiared with those of a similar census
of the Presbyterian denomination. It
should be said that Professor Kelsey
was formerly a professor in lake For
est University, a rresbyteriai institu
tion. Some of the main conclusions
may be summed up breifly: 'The sta
tistics show, first, that the majority
of all the student in the State Univer
sities are members of churches, about
one-half being members of tie so-called
Evangelical churches. Ii sixteen
separate State Universities, at least
one student in every six belongs by
membership or afllllation, to the Meth
odut Episcopal church. At the Uni
versity of Michigan, last yrnr, there
were more than three-fourths as many
Presbyterian Mmlents as at Princeton
I niversiU t the State Universities
of Illinois uiid Indiana, there were
more than twice as many Presbyterian
students as at the four Presbyterian
colleges In the two states " Tt appear" I

RllAIXS OUR STRONG SUIT.
In view of the approaching debates
with both the .Universities mentioned
the "following article from the Colum
bia, Missouri, Herald will prove Inter
esting to our readers:
Kunfcus may win in., football but sho
cuulNJwIu Jn debatl. She hiny hire
muscle to seutlle and kick on the grid
Iron; she can not produce mind to con
quer In the forum. She may develop
brutes but she can not beat Missouri
in brains.
The Missouri University boys easily
won In the Joint debate with Kansas
University. The Missouri boys were
given thslde of the question In which
they disbelieved, the side on which ar
gument were fewest and weakest, ,ct
they fairly talked the Kansas fellows
out of court.
That's the kind of stuff we grow In
Missouri. The State University pu.s
attention to heads and not heels. Our
lads get knocked out oecaslonall.v at
the barbarous sport of football but
they usually get there ahead of their
opponent when the contest Inxobes
intellect.
Somehow we can not help thinking
despite the enthusiasm of the Thanks
giving day games, that the result of
the recent debate at Lawrence ivtlccts
more credit upon the Missouri Univer
sity than would the winning of a doz
en football affrays.
Our hat is off to the boys! Colum
