Truth duec hurt some people.
A Univei.iity paper is for the Univcrrity
and its students; it should reflect student sen
timent, further student enterprise and advo
cate student interest. It is int. a more 'rooter'
or a scribe endorser of 'all that is.' Its col
umns, while op.'ii to all, are not open to be
filled with moire bilge-water' and loose, word
combinations. It should bow to rightful
regulations and upright authority, foster the
good and bettor, condemn the servile, puncture
prjtonsos, and strive to reform the wrong. Xo
college publication is worth the reading which
is not fearless and outspoken in its advocacy
of what id wise and right. As long as the
liiiSPHiu.vx is published it will stand for the
correction of abuses, the betterment of moral
ity, the upbuilding of uprightness, the uphold
ing of equality and fairness in all University
a flairs.
The Hesperian s.ibscription list continues
to grow.

common appellation the "Rag" from the

The "Rag" is in its element. The organ
of filth, 'official notices,' obituary poetry and
resolutions of on.ljlenee has ranted. To it
the pugnac'ous professional footballist is a
hero; to it inconsistency and hypocris' are
virtues; to it an ofliebu? censorship of the
