Know What a Want Ad Is.
It's a mistake to think that want ads arc only used by
people seeking employment in locating lost articles in
renting houses and flats. These are but a few of their usfcs.
Read Bee Want Ads every day as thousands are now
doing know what they mean. You will never neglect 1
them when you do. It would be impossible to tell all
the uses of Bee Want Ads you learn new things every
day. For instance, unusual desires are quickly gratified
by Bee Want Ads. You may be the roommate some
congenial person wants. Some one may have the books
you want in exchange for the bicycle you don't care for.
You can invest money safely. You can buy a store with
an established trade. You can obtain information of a
personal nature. You see, Omaha people realize the im
portance of Bee Want Ads. It's a place where all meet
for the good of all. Considering the few minutes it
takes to carefully read them, there should be no reason
for not reading Bee Want Ads every day.

The convention of t1 Intercollegiate Ath
letic Association of the United States re
cently discussed many phases of sport ap
parently without arriving at any very aat
lsfactory conclusions. , To those who lis
tened, however, the debaters and the ar
gue appeared to establish one thing
pretty clearly better control of varsity
sports is decidedly up to the faeultl? or
the various Institutions. Indeed, it might
easily be made to appear, too, that what
ver evils,' as they are called, have grown
up are traceable to faculty neglect of very
pressing problems.
At the second convention ot the Intercol
leglate Athletic Association ot the United
States, held In 1907, Dr. Paul C. Phillips ot
Amherst said: "Twenty year ago it would
have been considered foolish for a body
of college professors to consume a half
hour In the consideration ot such a sub
ject as the above (the length ot intercol
legiate athletic schedules). Today the ap
propriateness of the topic is at once ap
parent, for in two deca&es Intercollegiate
athletics have assumed such prominence In
college life as to demand the serious atten
tion of educators.
"We may sigh for the conditions of that
remote period when matters athletlo sel
dom Invaded the sanctity of the faculty
met'.l:igs; we may believe that such condi
tions should prevail again and the time of
our facultlea be onoe more restored to
them for strictly educational purposes, and
may even plan. to bring such an elysium
about, but that will not relieve ua from
the responsibility of dealing with th ath- 1
letio problem that confront ua her and
now."
Dr. Phillips' recognition ot th duty be
fore the member of facultle comes lale.
Just as it did to many other persons in ed
ucational Institutions. Had there been a
greater wiiiii.gneas to take th athletlo af
fair out of th bands ot trainers, physical
directors and th like, and to make them
more strongly the department of members
ot the faculty, probably ther never would
have been anywhere near the amount of
trouble that there has been. Faculty inter
vention In tb rnaoagement ot atnieuc
sports has come In most oollege only when
soma particularly flagrant violation of the
cod of amateur sport baa called to th at
tention of the authorities the fact that
their i-an Institution In which sports ex
ist and that they are being handled in a
way that may be harmful to the morals
of the students.
Amateur Definition.
With all respa to Captain Pierce, presi
dent of the association, and Dr. Clark
Hetheiington of th University of Mis
souri. what college sports need most Is
rot a definition of an amateur. Thire Is
entirely too much bf this scrt of thing
being attempted all the time. Al nost any
persons can agree what Is an amateur.
He is a man who c'mducts himself in
ports like a gentleman. That la an ama
tur and his status haa nothing to do
with money matter at all. But ther Is
something beyond all that. Seme college
men do not conduct themselves Ilk gen
tlemen. They do deceitful things and un
fair things. They shirk their college work,
which is what they are supposed to b
attending college to do.
No on better than a member of the
faculty can tell. If he Is th right sort of
man to be ntrotad with th education
cf th young, what sort of a man be I
dealing with. He can tell th honest stu
dent and th gentlemanly student from
th sneak and th professional at heart
Ther are many man In college sports who
hav aerer taken a ceat tor their athletlo
prowess who are ranker pro than many
many another man who never saw th In
side of a r-olletre and was graduated from
a corner lot into a minor league and from
there into the majors.
The speakers at the recent convention
all appeared to be afflicted with the Idea
that to be a professional base ball player.
for instance, meant that one waa a man
of low moral standing and worse physical
habits, whose every Idea and act was Im
pure. It would be a great education to
som of these men actually to know some
of the base ball player cf the taaguca,
whose langnfttfo ohly at ttme-a' sinks tb' th
level of unreflnednees of certain college
players.
On this line Prof. Lamed said: "Fair
play should be the very soul of sport, for
without this athletic change from a moral
to an immoral agency. I hold that It shoulJ
be aa great a shame for a man to cheat at
any form of athletic cut at cards, chess or
business. I hold that for coaches to teach
dirty or tricky foot ball Is disgraceful and
sufficient cause for disbarring the ooach.
Every man who goes onto a field of contest
should be posxeased by th acorn of fraud
of any sort and should assume the Integ
rity of his opponent as a matter of course.
This Is not a doctrine of perfection; It Is a
standard, of simple Integrity."
Prof. Waldo was for years at Purdue
university and for eight seasons was the
arbitrator of the Western Conference In
tercollegiate Athletic association. When he
left to go to Washington university in St.
Louis he removed outside the limits of the
conference, but because of his good work
an arbitrator and because It would be hard
to replace him he was continued In his
place. Prof. Waldo pleaded In his address
that the faculty only should be permitted
to control sports. Things should nnt be
left to the undergraduates and about all to
the crass known as the sporting alumni.
"What the rich and influential alumni,"
aid he, "happen also to be sporting men
and even unscrupulous sporting men thcir
oontrol la often decisive and usually malign.
Nothing has been or Is so destructive of
college Ideals, nothing so undermines the
ethical standards of leading citiiens and
of college v jdents who for the most part
will certainly become leading citizens as
for sporting alumni on college governing
boards to oppose tho thwart college facul
ties In their control of students and student
activities. These men do not and cannot
know the ruling motives of a faithful oul-
Jege professor who eagerly submits to a
small and restricted fortune that he may
mould into Ideal cltlsenshlp th young
men under hi charge."
Prof. Waldo said oollege presidents some
times Intervene in case of athletic sports,
overriding th act of other persons on the
athletlo committees. Usually the executive
gets things wrong and then he turns them
over to a committee to deal with. If hla
committees Is unwisely selected it is likely
to lead ths institution into false and un
tenable positions. The faculty from the
first should have charge of athletic mat
ters. "Trustees and regents do not assign les
sons," continued Prof. Waldo, "crltlcis
mental work done, determine the amount
and kind of intellectual effort that raises
a freshman to a sophomore. They do not
pass upon ths effect of absences and defi
ciencies, do not determine the degree of
mental darkness or moral obliquity which
makes a student persona non grata among
his fellows. Trustees do not give permis
sion for a glee club Jaunt or absence for
an lntorcolleglat debate In a distant city.
Ixmg and undisputed customs has left these
things to the faculty, and properly so, for.
say what we will, the college faculty la in
loco parentis.
"Far more, then, must a faculty In the In
terest of th legitimate work of a college
have control ot athletic which demands
so much time of participant and so much
attention of students, which. In fact, oc
casionally dams th normal currents of an
Institution."

"9. The virtuous president or professor
who believes that the principal function of
athletics from the standpoint of the college
is to ailvertlne. No more Insidious, mis
chievous and misleading doctrla over

president or Instructor, who holds this doc
trine and acts upon it Is In a large measure
responsible for the evil we are now oom
bating. "10. The sporty professor, sometime
called a dead gam sport, who In th Eng
lish phrase Is keen for all kinds ot sport;
mnkes sporting men his Intimates; la not
averse to a wuecr or two; takes his high
ball wllh apparent relish; when off duty
talks ll'.tle else but sport but does not
care a rpp for ethical Ideals. .
"11. The two-faced professor. He I on
tl Ins to students, quite another to Institu
tions He gives one reason for aa ac
tion to one set of men, ..quit another ta
another set. Ha is slippery, as they ay:
care nothing tor morals; is ready to help
the coach or manage In things question
nblo at the expense of what few convic
tions he may think he treasures."
This rather unsavory list is opposed by
Prof. Waldo with th description ot what
he believes to be th ideal faculty athletlo
committeeman: "if porslbl he should b
an athlete himself and know th Joy of fair
competition; he should give tlm, thought
and effort to labor not directly connected
with his own department, because he haa
here perhaps his greatest field of useful
rets. He should be a man of sound Judg
ment, complete self-mastery, cheerful and
persuasive manner for enforcing his Idea,
ready at any crisis to become unpopular
when It becomes necessary In tb intelli
gent and fearless discharge of duty."
It Is a collection of rare virtue., but ther
are men who have been found who wer
able to discharge their duties In just such
fashion. They hav not been afraid ot
making enemies and they hav acted for
the light always. Had the need COT their
wcik been recognised no doubt. a great
deal of the trouble that sprang up ta eol-
k'ge sports would have been obviated at
the very start.
Prof. Lamed had omethlng interesting
to say about great crowds at Athlette con
tests: "The crowds of 80,000 or 40wl spec
tators at our foot ball and other .constat
In England and America are by no mean
an indication of healthy athletic or ef a

ball bleachers are .not crowded with ath
lete or even physically sound men and
boys." .,
Some Klads at Professors.
Faculty aontrol may, however, be an un
satisfactory and ' even evil method. Prof.
Waldo pointed out. unless tb members ot
ths faculty committee, are carefully se
