TO GET "O" SWEATERS.


A Committee at Work to Secure Me- mentoes for Football. Men.


The committee appointed some time ago to look after financing the "O" sweater proposition for the foot- ball men reported progress to the Student Council Tuesday evening. Practically all the classes in the col- lege have voted the'r quota toward the $75 necessary to get the sweat- ers. Messrs. Elmer Martin, Marion Hume and Sam Marsh are in charge of the matter. It is probable that the amount will be raised, the sweat- ers secured, and the awarding take place very soon. Fourteen men are eligible to "O's" and will receive sweaters.


ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTION.


George Collett and Gordon Ferris Have Started One for College.


While in Lawrence last Monday, Prof. W. B. Wilson, of the zoological department, visited the Francis Hun- tington Snow entomological collec- tion at the state university and got pointers on arranging the collection at Ottawa. Prof. Hunter, of the de- partment at K. U. very kindly gave his assistance and that of an assist- ant.


Last summer George Collett and Gordon Ferris made a start toward securing a large collection for Otta- wa. They got 350 specimens of bugs and insects. Mr. Collett will assist Prof. Wilson in arranging the speci- mens for the collection.


OTTAWA'S ALLOTMENT OF TIME AND CORNELL'S


OTTAWA FIGURES CAMPARE FAV- ORABLY WITH CORNELL'S AND HARVARD'S.


Only 106 Students Handed in Reports -Eastern College People Seek


More Amusement.


Some interesting comparisons have been made between the average daily life of students at Cornell university and that of students of Ottawa un1- vers'ty. The figures have been com- puted by Dr. Herbert H. Foster, from the distribution of time blanks given out here a few weeks ago. The fig- ures of the same experiment made at Harvard University have not been fully reported.


Dr. Foster recently saw a report which stated that the Harvard ex- periment revealed the fact that the students spent about the same amount of time in study as in recita- t'ons. The Harvard faculty had hoped that the ratio would be about two hours of study to one of recita- tions. The Harvard course of study has many electives, Cornell not as many as Harvard, and Ottawa Uni- versity's number of electives is com- paratively smaller. Cornell has a large number of engineering students who study harder than those in other departments. About half of Ottawa's


student body handed in reports, while only a third did so at Cornell- and probably it was the most studious third. The week at Ottawa was just before Christmas, and was not a nor- mal one for many.


The average Cornellian uses 2.23 hours each day for amusement; the Ottawan needs only 1.76 hours. The Cornell man requires almost eight hours sleep each night, exactly 7.90, while Ottawans manage pretty well with 7.76 hours. When it comes to recitations. O. U. people consume 2.81 hours per day: Cornellians. 2.17 hours. In outside study, which in- cludes the daily grind of lessons, the Ottawan takes 4.36 hours, while his Pastern brother and sister acquire enough knowledge in 4.19 hours The figures show that both classes of stu- dents keen un their physical vigor with only 1.72 hour of physical exer- cise-most of it heing walking for the majority of both schools. The self- sunnorting Ottawa student spends 1.45 hours of the twenty-four in work -nart of it being, however, "choring" about the home, while the indepen- dent, easterner gets through school with an average of less than an hour


of work each day, just .39 of an h Three other activities outlined by Foster for Ottawa, were not con ered in the Cornell figures-nam .61 hour for college organization w .31 hour for religious services, 1.65 hours for unclassified time-spel ing. It was shown that the amo of laboratory work done here is sn only .45 of an hour each day. - figures at Cornell show 1.70 ho but to bring these figures on a sta ard of credit with Ottawa's they II be divided by two and one-half.


Only 106 students of Ottawa han in reports. Dr. Foster's exhaust report covering two closely type-w ten pages of figures is published b in table form. There is also gi his list of general observations, which he lists some extreme car where time has been inequitably vided.


The report has these words of planation, "In all figures, the data for the six days, exclusive of Sunc Special students were not incluc Naturally, groups where the numb are small cannot be taken as tr typical. In general, the greatest tremes of hours, save for sleep meals, are in the lower years."


In the table read: Sr. for Sen1 Jr., Junior; Soph., Sophomore; Freshman; Ac., Academy; Cl., Cla ical; Ph., Philosophical; Sc., Sci tific; Msc., Other courses; M., Ma F., Female; MF,, Male and Fema Col., College Department; Univ., tire institution, including College : Academy, special students not incl ed. The table is simple enough wl the above abbreviations are tal into consideration. The fact m also be borne in mind that the ni ber of laboratory hours under Cornell heading must be divided two and one-half in order to br. them in the same standard of cre


Time spent by the men and won of each class, and by the men and 1 men in the various courses, except the Senior Class, has been classifie time for men and women in ea class is taken together; time for bo men and women members of the ( lege and academy is listed separate and then together in the whole U versity. This is the time for + whole week. The last two columns the table average an Ottawa day, a below gives the average of a C nell day.


The general observations are int esting. They record separate € treme cases of time expenditure, t der different lines. of activity. T names of all students were signed their reports, but are not made publ

"SLASHIMORA" MAKES REPLY.


-


Under the caption' "A Noiseless Col- lege," H. F. McDougal said in the edi- torial columns of the Republic Thurs- day evening: "For an absolutely noiseless institution, there's Ottawa University. Most towns with small colleges have much to complain of as to racket made by the students, and have to send out special requests whenever there is a fire for the col- legians tokeep quiet so the citizens can hear the fire whistle, but not so in Ottawa. Here's a town that is blessed with the only rubber-tired freshmen in captivity, and the quiet made by the underclassmen is a perfect din as compared to the dead calm maintain- ed by the members of the senior class." The article compares the Ottawa student's noise-making capac- ity with that of the Olathe mutes.


fense of the students, and dedicates this to the editor of the Republic: Honored editor: Respected Uni- v.rsity having much contempt for op- probrious effusion set forth in Hor- ace Greeley-Brisbane columns of your advertising sheet concerning noise at said r.spected University, deploy me to investigate condition and reply to vile charge.


I go to honored bald-head of Biolog- ical department and say: "When is a noise not a noise?"


He reply: "When there is no ear to hear."


"That are the matter with the Ot- tawa Republic," I reciprocate, "it have .no ear."


Said Republic slander Senior class with too much quiet, and rival paper print news of big racket. Interview show class angry because Herald print news-grow angrier because said Republic print the real truth in Horace Greeley column-but not the whole truth, thank you.


What are the whole truth. I go interview honored head Philosophy department and require, "When is a noise not a noise?"


He scratch goatee and gesticulate, "When you think you hear Ottawa hum,"


"If town Ottawa would hum, would University make a noise?" I interro- gate.


The fat man stand by and laugh, chen tell a story. Once upon a time Cap and Gown Ottawa go to town Ottawa and advance suggestion, "I need money to build buildings and make endowments for my children and children's children. Give, I pray, of your manifest possessions."


News broken so gently strikes town Ottawa deaf so he can't hear Univer- sity yell forever after. Now when rubber-tired freshmen make a noise like a new "gym," and Prexy pro- nounce "Science Hall," response in town Ottawa sound like a Quaker meeting in a country church near Olathe.


"What is to be done about this de- plorable state?" I iterate.


University goddess of love hand out one, to-wit: "Cap and Gown Ottawa must establish a new kind of expres- sion department. Bring finger artist from extinguished neighboring town to teach students to collocate on hands with down town merchants who sleep three months after Christ- mas and forget to advertise in col- lege Campus."


Little freshman walk by carrying "Slashimora Red-Ink" comes to the de- description paper to get ear drum for


honored editor of Republic. I scra my head and demise to write tl Reciprocally yours,

DR. HARLAN PREACHED


His first sermon in Baptist Church- Two Baptisimal Services


Sunday evening, Dr. Harlan of the University occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist Church. It was Dr. Har- lan's first appearance in the Baptist pulpit sincehis residence has been in Ottawa and a largecrowd, filling both the auditorium and the balcony of the church greeted him. He spoke on "Christ's Estimate of Life."


Dr. Harlan made a strong appeal for men to seek the higher life which close contact with Christ offered.


Aside from the powerful sermon, the congregation was edified by ex- cellent selections from the choir. One selection, "No Shadow Yonder" -- by a mixed quartette, composed of Mrs. Bixel, Miss Allen and Messers Bix- el and Bachman, was especially well received.
