In this issue will be found the first chapter of a true story, offered by a student who spent six years of his life on the sea. Lieutenant Pershing surely deserves praise for the improvements he has made in the battalion. The latest innovation is the establishment of a permanent target range near the penitentary. Hereafter, in the armory, each company will receive special instruc tion in adj'usting the rifle for shooting. The compan ies will take turn about in going to the range on Saturdays. As this work i? made a part of the mili tary instruction, every cadet in the battalion will be required to take it. Consequently all will receive a thorough knowledge of rifle shooting. In the future the lieutenant expects to have target practice in the fall as well as in the spring term.

There is no reason why we cannot hare a rifle team that will be a credit to the university and to the state. Now that we have organized our university debat ing club, let us see that the interest does not cease. We surely have enough raw material to work upon. The upper classes have been wanting something ot this kind for a long time. The university club will draw the students all together where equals will meet, equals. There is no reason why we cannot have a rousing debate every two weeks. Although some were not in favor of admitting the girls, The Hesperian believes they will make he debates much more interesting. If the ladies take part in the debates, we will have larger audiences to address. That fact alone will add enthusiasm. The larger the audience, the harder the -debaters will work. We want to have the chapel crowded at every meeting. If it is, no one need to fear about the quality of the debates. There is another reason why The Hesperian thinks the young women will IttQU&tfiSlSnS
