The now chapel program is growing in popularity. Is your name written there? If not, whv don't you subscribe and have it written there? The attendance at chapel would seem to in dicate that there is really such a thing as uni versity spirit. Last week blank slips were sent out in the ITisi'iCKiAXs addressed to new students. These should be filled out and signed, and then placed in the IIksim-:ician mail box, or given to Mumford or Sayor. Stand up for the students' paper. The IIimi'kkia.v is now not only entitled to 1m willed the students' paper but also the university paper. The efforts of the present management have been rewarded by recogni tion from the university authorities. They have ordered the Hksi'Kiiian sent to the high schools throughout the state. The management of the Hksi'Uimax desires to call the attention of faculty and students to our advertisers. We have no firm which is not reliable; we are very grateful to these advertisers in aiding us to issue a college pa per which is a credit to the university, to both faculty and students. The way to re ciprocate is to give them our support: we hope faculty and students will remember this when purchasing goods. If you desire to encour age the management of the best college paper ever published at the I'ui versify, please men tion the paper when you purchase from our advertisers. The effort of the librarians, at the begin ing of the year, to maintain due decorum in the library, receives (he approbation of all consci entious students. The first of the school year is the time to begin. Let it be under stood nam that the library Is a place for study: not for carousel or social functions. If this is done there will be little difficulty in iimin tainingorder the rest of the year. The librar ians should never again be so lenient with students as they were last year. The ex perience last spring shows that if the library is once allowed to become noisy it is next to impossible to restore proper decorum. The librarians may remember this with profit. Football is the recognized college game. Moralists' may talk and "pops" may legis late, yet college enthusiasm best manifests itself when a contest takes place on the grid iron. Institutions of learning gain much of their recognition through the victories of their football team. Xo matter how much certain people may regret this, it is a fact neverthe less. Tim university should have a strong team this year. NYver before has so much interest manifested itself m early in the sea son. ICighteeii or twenty men are out to practice each evening, and the presence of seventy-five or a hundred eager rooters tells the men that a place on the football team, (his year, means something. So far the men who have come out to practice show up well. Captain Shedd and Manager Oury are feeling jubilant over the prospect. What is now most needed is the support of the student body. A good football team can not be put in the field without the expenditure of some money. If five or six hundred students will purchase s.-ason tickets the mauagjinant will nothavo to go through the begging process which was necessitated last year. Show your scarlet and cream by investing 81. BO which entitles you to see six games of the beat foot ball ever played in the west.
