Ji THE HESPERIAN conflict impossible. To be sure the in structors are obliged to make out extra examination questions, but what is that as compared with the many advantages to both students and instructors. The petitioned meeting of the oratori cal association was an interesting and enthusiastic one. It was decided by a strong majority for the university to re main in the state association. If there wore any possibility of forming an asso ciation with several of the state institu tions around us, it would be advisable for us to withdraw from the association of which we are now a member. It seems impossible for us to form any such rela tions now and the only thing for us to do is to remain in the state association. If we should withdraw with nothing to substitute, t ho local contest would be a fare, nw what little interest there is in orutoricnl matters would cease. Wes leyun we understand, wishes to re-enter the association, and with a little judic inis work we might bring back some of the old-time enthusiasm in oratory, fliere is a place for oratory in the uni versity of Nebraska and with that place a most noticable need. We have thus tar, held our own in debate but we pre dict thut we shall hardly be so successful M the future unless we try to make our address pleasing as well as logical. Let s awake to our needs, revive thelagging interest in oratorical contests, and prove tat wo intend to "talk (tolerably .aswdll as logically. Notice. As thoKeeond semester has begun we "m J,ko to begin to clear up our books.
