J tho continuance of the sport and spurn tho idea of being tho first of tho largo western Institutions to abolish the gamo. It is probable that a compro mise will result and tho game will be put under graduate management cor responding to tho graduate manage ment of tho foot ball team. The latter proved to bo highly successful during tho past season, $G,000 more being cleared than in the season previous. It is possible that upon this basis base ball might be made self-supporting. Over fifty candidates have already ap peared for the team this spring, and it would seem that there is plenty of ma terial for a winning nine. to make both ends meet. This new organization would, for n time at least, bo likely to weaken the old; therefore, the students of colleges that belong to the present oratorical asso ciation should carefully consider this matter and when the time comes be prepared to act unitedly," The editors desire to call the atten tion of subscribers to the fact that after January 15 all unpaid subscrip tions will be $1.50 instead of $1 before that date This is not done in order 'to extort an oxtra amount from tho subscribers, but to have subscriptions paid up before the last of the year. The announcement was made at the beginning of the year that this would be done, and arrangements should have been made by the subscribers for the occasion. It is hoped that no one will call at tho office during the lat ter half of the year and designate tho editor as a base and infamous liar, worthy of no associates on this earth, but destined to meet with mombors of bis class in the far-off future. An early settlement of accounts will bo greatly appreciated. The University of Missouri is about to adopt the elective system in tho aca demic dopavtmont. Tho question lins ulroudy received favorable aot'on from tho faculty and now needs only the ac lion of tho tinivoi-bitj council. An ad visory committee will be maintained 'in order to avoid reckless choice of studies by porsoiiB In the department. 'Eudh student will mako out a list of the studies that lie desires to pursue and the committee appointed will meet behind closed doors and act upon 'the selections. Tho thought that the selections must pass tho committee will cause the student to cliooso his work with care. All personal contact 'botweon student and committee is avoided. It is stated that tho idea is 'mooting with almost universal favor with the student body, and alroady tho authorities are planning for a much increased attendance during tho com ing your. After all, it scorns apparent that edi tors of college papors arc not the only people on earth who suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Some time ago a minister in this city got out an announcement for the week and at the bottom of the paper made apologies to Hamlet and ran tho fol lowing piece of poetry. An announce ment as to where the treasurer would bo found was also added for tho conscience-stricken readers. The. linos follow: To pledge, or not to pledge that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in a man to take The gospol free and let another foot the b!ll, Or sign a pledge and pay towards tho church exponscs! To give, to pay aye, thore's the rub to pay, When on the free pew plan a man may have A sitting free, and tae the gospel, too, As though he paid, and none be aught tho wiser, Save the Society's Committee, who Most bonorable men can Iccep a se cret! "To err is Tinman," and "human, too, to buy At cheapest rate. I'll take the gos pel so! For others 'do tho same a common rule! Urn wibe. Ull wait, not work; I'll pray, not pay, And lot tho othor follows foot tho bills And so witli mo the gospel's free, you see! d. B. Who (iicHiilon of base hall abolition is now before 'tho students of tho 'Uni versity of "VVlseonsln. Tho matter will bo brought before tho athletic associa tion of that institution and settled definitely at an early date. It Is in sisted that tho toum 1b maintained at a losB season after season and thus drags down othor sports. Further, tho members of the faculty state that tho long trips by tho team are very in jurious to university work. On tho othor bund, tho soutlmont of tho stu Uonts seems to bo divided Many desire After so long a 'time one college has come to itlie front in a reasonable manner and aoknowldged that there is something in the idea started by the I nivorsity of Nebraska for a now ora trricnl 1-ugue. A largo por cent of the colleges over six states have spoken on the subject of tho now oratorical as- nuujuLiuii, una hi nearly every caBO criticism wsb passed upon tho larger institutions. "Wo take pleasure in quoting from tho "William Jewoil Stu dent: "A matter that tho students of col leges in eon tral westorn states should wateii and consider Ib tho movement recently sot on foot by tho Nebraska state university to organize a new ora torloal ttBsooIatlon. Tt scorns that Ne braska state university considers that she has ciiiiso for complaint, in that, while she boars hor pro rata share of tho expenses of tho existing oratorical association, cortuln departments of tho university aro barred from competing in tho stuto contest. Thoroforo, u com mltteo has boon appointed to promote plans for organizing a now oratorical association, consisting of tho state uni versities only of Nebraska, Iowa, Kan sas, Missouri and ono or two other states. Tli oho who aro aware or the financial condition of the present ora torical association know that, until lust year, It was alwuys very difficult Just before the Christmas holidays the University of Michigan Dally Is sued a woman's edition. It represented a vast amount of work and was an en terprise well worthy of student sup port. And It received it from the m?n. On the other hand, the sex for which the paper was published, and whoso interests It upheld, failed to stand by the enterprise, and as far as It was concerned it was a failure. Ir commenting on the fact, the Daily says: "The Daily will continue to get out its regular men's editions, hoping that by next year it will have at least seven lady subscribers on its list" Wo presume that the trouble with Michi gan is found In every co-ed university "n the United States. From every quarter comes the wail that the femi nine portion of tho student body docs not support student enterprises or does not materially aid in maintaining university enthusiasm. We regret to say that the condition is found in Ne braska; not so much so, perhaps, that we have to plead for a seventh sub scriber, yet it is bad enough. In a short time the editors hope to be able to give an edition to the readers of the Nebraskan-Hesperian published exclu sively by the ladies of the institution. On account of the financial failure of the attempt last year it will be out of tho quest'on to get np a paper of such magnitnde. Yet, if the ladies desire it, they will be given the opportunity to get out a paper of quality rather than quantity. An edit'on by the Y, W. C. A., and also one by the Y. M. C. A., are possibilities. Other special At tractions will be offered during the semester by the editors, and it is boped that tho student body will see fit to support these efforts in a sub stant'al way. Of course, if students do not care for special papers, and would rather read the every day rou tine oi school events, they will be given the opportunity to do so, after tho experiments now under way fail.

Instead of considering it the crowning feature of the educational sj'Btem, thoy deemed it rather an institution used for the pur pose of blooding tho legislature of stray dollars and cents that would otherwise have gone to tho common schools. Tlioy insisted that instead of advanolng, the common schools had retrograded during the past few years. On the othor hand, the university had advanced on account of an excellent system or lobbying on tho part of cor taln porsoiiB directly interested. The student body of this university can not place a censure sufficiently strong on a sontlment of tills nature. The foolishness of tho idea Ib at once ap parent, and every effort should bo put forth to blot it out of existence. There Ib no reason whatever why any con ilict should ho waged between tho unl vorslty and the grammar Bohools of tho state.
