The University of Chicago debating teams scored a double victory Jan- uary 21. A negative team from the University defeated the team from Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill., while an affirmative team won the decision over a team from the Uni- versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor. The question was "Resolved, That the ex- perience of the United States has sbown that a protective tariff should continue to be a national policy."
During the past week there have been chronicled five forensic events, held in different sections of the Unit- ed States, which are of special inter- est to Ottawa Sophomores and Fresh- men. These events were debates on the central bank question. Four of the five have been decided unanı- mously in favor of the central bank; the other decision was by a two to one vote. The interclass debate at Ottawa this year involves the cen- tral bank issue, the Freshmen uphold- ing the establishment of such an in- stitution.
Roland Ambrose, a student at Camp- ibellCollege, Holton, Kansas, basing his calculations on past experience, has figured that the 90,000 examina- tion blanks printed by the college, will last him 5,625 years.
At Southwestern College, Winfield, according to the Collegian, the stu- dents have enjoyed four exceptionally good chapel talks this year. One of them was by Prof. R. A. Schwegler, of Kansas University, formerly acting president of Ottawa University. The students at Ottawa have heard at least three exceptionally good chapel speeches: One by Professor Harlan On missions; one by George B. Irving of Chicago on municipal government, and one by Mr. Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago on prohibition.

The election of the Y. W. C. A. cab- inet for this year took place last week. The new officers are:
Glea Stallard, president; Laura Wood, vicepresident; May Wynne, secretary, and Edna Umstott, treas- urer.
Professor Groner addressed the as- sociation last Sunday afternoon, speaking on the topic of "Close Fel- lowship With Christ." He brought out the view of true Christianity from three standpoints: that of a disciple, of a follower, and of a believer. The meeting tomorrow nighteeBj shrdee meeting as a whole was very uplift- ing, and there was a good attendance. Miss Lillian Sifferd, of Tulsa, Okla., sang a solo, "The Lord Is Mindful of His Own."
The Y. M. election will be held soon.
AMONG OTHER COLLEGES .
A tribute was paid to the ability of W. F. Mulvihill, a Senior in Kent Law school, Chicago, when he was unani- mously elected as class orator. This position, in a law school, s one that is usually strongly contested, and the law orator is usually a strong man. Mr. Mulvihill is treasurer of the Na- tional Prohibitionist, - and a prohibi- tion field worker when out of school.
The Campus has received a copy of the Carletonian, the publication of Carleton College, Farmington, Mis- souri, Methodist. Rev. J. D. Smith, former pastor of the Methodist church of Ottawa, assumed the presidency of Carleton College last fall.
A professor at Washburn College, Topeka, who is carefully scrutinizing the DeRake comet, figures that the tail is nearly eight degrees, or seven million miles, long.

Last week this column contained a statement concerning the Kansas Magazine, published at Wichita, which compared the magazine with Hood's almanac. There has been no demand for the almanac among the University students since that time.
If the University Missourian, Col- umbia, does not quit filching from the Campus intercollegiate items, verbat- im, attention will be called to the matter.

HO ! HERE'S A SNAP !
Prof. Northrop, of Minnesota, Asks Students Award Their Own Grades. Professor Northrop, professor of English in the University of Minne- sota, Minneapolis, who last fall took his classes down to the river bank to recite, contended that Milton could not be read properly unless accom- panied by instrumental music, and who asked the ladies to bring sewing to class with them,, has just announc- ed a new examination plan. He says he feels that the students should have some say about the marks which go in, since they know better than he does what they have done this year. So he has asked each student to bring him a statement saying how much work has been done, how it was done, and stating also what final grade should go in in each class.
NEW MAGAZINES.
A Half Dozen New Periodicals Added to College Library.
A number of the best magazine3 have been added to the already large list which are: The Nation, Fortnight- ly Review, Ninteenth Century, Journal of Political -conomy, Biblical World. Librarian Chandler has been advised that the Nineteenth Century comes as a result of a bequest made to the publishers that the magazine might be put into certain libraries.

RUGBY BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN GAME
AN ENGLISHMAN ARGUES FOR THE OPEN CODE OF FOOTBALL.
An Interesting Letter by James Fisher, Who Has Seen Rugby Played.
The comparison of the Rugby and American football games by President Jordan of Leland Stanford, was read by both the friends and opponents of the present sport. James Fisher, of the academy, who is an Englishman by birth and who was an ardent en- :hustast of Rugby while he resided in England, writes an interesting let- ter to the Campus defending the Eng- lish game. The Rugby game is play- ed with fifteen men on a side, and the game is open; there is rarely a piling up of men, and then the ball is usually not to be found in the pile. It is argued by its friends that the Rugby game requires more skill than the American sport. Mr. Fisher's let- ter follows:
Editor of Campus: After reading the article on "Some Arguments for Rugby Football," in last week's issue of the Campus, by President Jordan of Leland Stanford University, I beg room for a few words on this im- portant phase of our college athletics which just now is being agitated from east to west and from north to south. Shall football be abolished from American colleges? Shall we revise the rules, or shall we change the pres- ent game in favor of Rugby or soccer, are the questions which are now be- ing warmly discussed.
Being a Rugby enthusiast, and hav- ing been a keen follower and support- er of the game for the last five years that I was in England, I wish to enumerate a few reasons, which from personal observation, lead me to be- lieve that a change in the code of foot ball would bring about better results and a better feeling, not only among the student body, and that body and the faculty, but more so among the Continued on nage 5.

ORATORIO SOCIETY HAS 200 MEMBERS.
The Membership Record of Every Former Chorus In Ottawa Has Been Eclipsed-Regular Practice on "Messiah" Is Held Weekly.
The Ottawa Oratorio Society has the largest enrollment in its history, and is probably the largest chorus of voices ever organized in this city. It is directed by Prof. Bixel. The mem- bership is now over 200-nearly dou- ble that of last year 13
"Messiah" production, to be given on commencement week, is held each Tuesday evening at the conservatory of music rooms down town. There is an average attendance of about 180, which is excellent for such a large organization.
Below is given a list of the members of the chorus, and it will be noted that more than two-thirds of the list is' college people. The nembers are: Frances Allen Edna Scoville Willard Scoville Edith Seavy Ruth Simpson Vernon Shanklin Rev. W. A. Elliott Lena Scheufler Mrs. J. T.

HE STUDENT COUNCIL PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
DEFICIT FOR THE SEMESTER PAST MAKES ECONOMY NECESSARY.
Missouri Normal Basket Ball Game Was Cancelled-The Treasur- er's Report Soon.
At the regular session of the Stud- nt Council Tusday night the basket jall game with Missouri State Nor mal, which was to be played on the home court, Feb. 19, was called off. The reason for this action was purely financial one.
Th. treasurer's report shows a de ic t at the end of the semester of two hundred dollars. In order to equitably distribute the finances among debat-, oratorical, baseball and other inter es.s, it was deemed best to trim the sch dule. The Washburn game was cancelled some time ago.
There seemed to be some little dis- at sfaction with the council's action. Those who are dissatisfied say that the students are not getting their money's worth from the student en terprise ticket. It is true that the
football season furinshed only three attractions but th's was a case of miz" for une rather than any fault of the Student Council. It is worthy to note, too, that nev.r has there been such student attendance and support as there has been this year. There have te n three football and three basket ball games and the local oratorical contest, each one of which was at- tended by practically the entire stud- ent body. College spirit has been revived.
