Now that the local contest is over, let us all pin hand', irrespective of factions, and do everything possible to help our representative in the State con test. The local assosociation should take steps, at once, towards training our orator. In every state contest, so far, the university has ranked high 0:1 manuscript, but low on delivery. This has always been our failing. Now is a good time to remedy this. If we ever expect to send a representative to an inter-state contest, wc must raise our standard of delivery. Let no pains or expense be snared that will bring about this desired change. Let us engage the best talent in Lincoln to train our orator this year and see what he can do. Give him training that will place him on an equality with his competitors, and the universitv need not fear the result. DHL! Alt LITKRAKV SOCIETY. . II. Pii.i.iMfcY, Pre. Mm E. C.

The recent orders published by the military department have given rise to a great deal of dissatis faction among the cadets. There has been a marked tendency during the last few years to increase the work and expense of all students connected with this department. Until this year, students were compelled to drill only six terms, ard a term once completed credited the same as any other study. Now; every male student, unlets excused for excessive poverty, or physical inability, must drill nine comsccutive terms. In other words, he must drill three out of the four years of his college coure in order to get a diploma. In war so imminent in this great commer cial age thai we must transform our colleges into military academic? The orders that have caused the most complaint are those which directly infringe upon individual rights. These dictatorial orders are: first, that hereafter no cadet will be allowed to wear any part of his, uniform when off duty unless he wears the wholr. Second, that hereafter cadets will have no choice in the selection of their own iuiu. 'Hie lieutenant and some clothing bouse iniheea.it will dictate price and quality. Now, what will be the result of these decrees? There are already students in our university thai rannnt nflVirH thf fim nnd evriftnse that this rlenarr- r ' ,.--- ment demands. If this sort of thing continues 111 the future it is bound to lesson the attendance to some extent. Now that we have an excellent gym nasium the plea cannot be entertained that military 1
