The fact that the Council is cutting the athletic schedule does not mean that the athletic fee is not a success but rather proves one point of its worth that the financial situation is absolutely in hand. The treasurer knows exactly how much money can be used for each season. Taken as a whole thus far the athletic fee has been a decided success.

The treasurer will publish a detail ed report of the student activities of the semester.

Instead of a loss for the semester, there would undoubtedly have been a profit. if William Jewell and Has- kell Indian footfall eames had been played.

ORATORY AND DEBATE.

Class of 22 Men To Study antd Prac tice Public Speaking.

With the opening of the spring se mester Ottawa's outlook in debating and oratory has taken on decidedly bright aspects. Prof. Nichols has or ganized a new class of freshman and sophomore boys in which he will giv. he entire time to the art of publ c speaking. One hour each week will be given to 1 cturing on the theory of public speaking, while the other two will be used in laboratory work in de- bating and extemporaneous speaking.

The qu stion to be used in the Park college debate will be studied for sev sral weeks which fact will make the prelim naly for that d. ba e a reai contest. By the end of the semester each member is required to write an pration and thus th. next local ora orical contest wil be one of keen competi ion. There are twenty two members in the class.

The class n journalism, d'r cted by Prof. Nicho's, was organized Wednes- lay morning. A half dozen or more have signified their intention to en ter. A meeting will be h ld once a veek, and ass gnment work for writ- ing given out.

THE RHETORIC CLASS.

'Slashimora Red-Ink," Now a Campus Reporter, Reports.

Slashimora Red Ink, the Japanese boy, whose letter attracted so much attention last week, has joined the Campus staff. H.s report on the last meeting of the freshman rhetoric class, which was his first as.gnment, follows:

1 en'er during roll call. Hon. Prot J'ose door aft.r me. Chairs scrape, feet slide. Hon. Prof. stop roll, and officiate, "Oh, if Honored Ed. of Re- public could only hear you now !" (Laughter-Class always laugh at Prof.'s joke .-

Then work of day beg n with Prof.'s lecture on d sert fertility of honor able bunch of day's papers-friend- ship letters and otherwise, to wit: First read, "Home, Sweet Home," for styl .. Next read, long letter on "Dreams," for psychological connec- tion. Then read, stylish letter on big word-Put em-off-awh le-for friendly advice.

Then Prof. straighten up and cogi- tate audibly, "I now read by request a yellowdrama with a streak of local color named "Talkifone'is"-scene Darlington cottage. Role of talkers, Dimples Kidder and Hester Zook.

Then Hon. young gray-head rise and brush professorial papers aside and take on "if you have tears to shed wesp now" attitude, and revolve sage's advice. All induce to quiet while honored gray head promulgate wisdom's theories. When pathetic fallacy is sounded, young gray head stop, apologize for Commencement ad- dress, and quituate .in following cox- loquy :

"I leave freshman class reluctant. I came here to dread it. I stay to re- joice in it. I accept its entertainment -and lose an ear in its service!"

Then honored one say, "That is all, thank you. Good-bye."

THE "YELLOW" NEWSPAPER.

A corporation-controlled Kansas City newspaper, 'speaking editorially, lamen's b. cause the state university school of journalism secured the edi tor of a "yellow" newspaper as a star attraction. Te be exact, this paper which reserves all its bitterness against inflammatory papers in gen- eral for an attack on Arthur Bris bane, is estimated as a railroad owned paper. Brisbane's

fame rests wholly on the facts that he earns 17 dollars per hour, and is sensational- "yellow"-to use the descriptive ad jective applied by the Kansas City Journal. The Journal admits that the Hearst editor earns his money. The "yellowness" of him is, then, ac- tually the reason for an attack by the unassuming western publication. The word "yellow" has a place in the vo- cabularies of college men as well as newspaper writers. It is not the de-

sire of a college publication to de fend Brisbane because his "yellow- ness" partly consists in a we'lldirect- ed attack on Tammany Hall; nor be- cause the H. arst man carefully edited the sensational Thaw test mony and escaped the government censors. But it is believed- and this may be only a fancy-that the average college man as thoroughly detests "yellow ness" in politics, as well as in ath- letic cont. sts. By this is meant the kind of "yellow' that is a synonym for "piking." The paper that "stands pat' and supports a "machine" man for office because he is owned by a corporation, is "yellow," and the pa per that urges for every legislative measure desired by the corporations

iş despised by the political free- thinker" of the colleges. Brisbane may be unorthodox, and in a sense, "yel- low," speaking of orthodoxey of style. But is heresy in this way any worse than infidelity to party pledges ?

TRIANGULAR DEBATE FOR 1911.

It is not too early to begin planning for inter collegiate debates for 191}. It seems now that the Park debate will be held, and that this will be the only intercollegiate debate in which Ottawa will participate this year. To the Campus, a triangular arrangement with Baker University, Washburn Col- lege and Ottawa for 1911 would be the most natural and convenient thing. Ottawa would have been willing to enter into such an arrangement this year, but the proposal went too late. Baker and Washburn had made other arrangements. The three schools are readily accessible, and have always participated in other inter-collegiate

contests with a great deal of zest and good natured rivalry. In debate Washburn and Baker have always Iranked high. Ottawa made a good record last year by taking both of her inter-collegiate debates. The Campus would like to hear what the debate authorities of the three schools think about entering into a triangular ar- rangement for next year.

IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION PAID.

The Campus begins the new semes ter with now plans and new life, and with the aid of the student body ought to be a better paper than it was the first of the year. Many of its sub. scribers have paid up thir subscrip tion, but some have neglected to de so. The management would appre ciate an early r.mittance, if possi; ble.

The managemant and business men of Ottawa are exceedingly gratful for the support tendered them in the past. A continued loyalty to the ad. vertisers of the Campus will mean as good a paper and a striving on the part of the management to make it a better paper than it has been.

FOR INITIATIONS.

The Goat of Hickory Club Is Being Trained.

The Hickory club has been con- stantly growing until now it has twenty eight members. Initiations have been quite frequent of late, and the "goat" is being put in extra good condition for those who entered with the new semester.

Rugby Better Than the American Game

Continued from page 1.

supporters and the friends of the in- stitution, than any revision of the ex sting code could .do. Why should not America join with the rest of the world in the great game? The Ameri- an game is no more like Rugby than balk is like cheese. It would not be possible to send a representaitve team of America to play against any of the Europ an countries or South Africa her New Zealand, as those countries ire do'ng, by playing a series of inter national matches every year, (and by be way England beat Wales the other veek, the first time for 12 years), be- cause the games are so vastly differ ent.

To my mind the Rugby game is aster, cleaner, more open, and his- ory confirms the fact that it is much ess dangerous than the American game, for in the five years above" quoted in upwards of one hundred, both club and county, only three ac cidents of note happened. One was a broken finger and there were two collar-bone dislocations; thirty men participated in every match, and I

have never heard of a first class player being killed or seriously hurt, which fact ought to be taken into con- sideration when one remembers the strenuous exertion put forth to up hold the honor of the country in an "Intrnational." The players wear no pads or guards, their suit being very similar to an ordinary track suit, that is, a sweater, knee-pants, socks and football shoes, and it is no unusua' hing for two thirds of the team to play in every match of the season. A s ason usually consists of thirty club matches, three or more county matches, trial matches, and perhaps some take part in an "International," and one or two friendly matches.

Rugby is not confined to the col- leges, but is found in every town of any size. It is taught in some of the common schools; boys' teams and leagues are formed and the boys of England have several times played the boys of Wales. In Northampton county I presume over 500 fellows are playing now every Saturday after noon.

Rugby is played from the middle of Sep'ember to the end of April, as

against the few weeks' season for the American game. It is claimed that the enthusiasm which the Ameri- can game generates is greater than that for any other sport. But thou

sands of spectators cheer madly every Saturday afternoon in England, and watch the contest with as much in- erest as Amer cans do their collegi ate sport.

BRISBANE ON THE NEWSPAPER

The New York Editor Says the News paper Columns Make the Public Square Where Everyone Thinks the Same Thing.

The Lawrenc. Journal has a good report of the address of Arthur Br s- bane, at Lawrence at the recent edi- torial me ting. The Journal says in part:

I began newspaper work twenty six years ago as a reporter for the New York Sun, on a salary of $15 a week. My father was rich and I qui+ the work to go Europe where they cab'ed offering me the London bu- reau, which I accepted, it be'ng too good an offer to refuse. Two years later I w nt back to New York as editor of the Evening' Sun. I am now writing editorials for the Hearst pub- lications.

"I would l'ke to say something about journalism work. I believe it to be the best field in the world for useful work. In the first place, the students of newspaper work should know what journalism is. A newspa rer is to the human race, what lan- guage is to the individual. The edl- torial column is the public square where millions are gathered, and where they are all thinking the same things you think.

"I have been asked to state what the class in journalism should be taught. In the first place, a student in journalism ought to have ahove a'l a sense of justice, sympathy, the de sire to see things righted, and to re- s'nt all things that are wrong. The man who can see little children suf- fering from a great wrong and not resent it should never go into the newspaper business, and this sense must be inborn. As to study, the ab- sence of knowledge won't hurt you. Read widely. Find out what people have done before. That you must know.

"There are two sides to newspaper work. first the telling of actual events and the editorial sido, and about the latter: people don't want your opin jons, they want their own. As to newspaper exaggeration. That is all nopnvcock. The news is given to the neonle as it comes. It is not exag

geration but merely a statement of the facts as they are g ven to the newspaper. A reporter hears that there is a fire. A man who survives, says that all the o'hers w re burned. He thinks so, and the reporter turns in his story. For instance, when we established the Chicago American. We had to change conditions a little be- cause New York and Chicago are so different, but the results exceeded al! our expectations. As to sensational ism, which they say stamps my paper. Sensationalism is necessary to the human mind. The mind requires it. The uneducated, the ignorant take to whisky sometimes, and the higher class to philosophy. A newspaper should kẹp within the bounds of morality, but it should give the ex- 'tement. It thus renders a great ser- vice to humanity. You remember the Thaw case, one of the great criminal events of the world. We published all that but we elimnated every ugly nortion. Theodore Roosevelt, who didn't care for our papers very much. issued the word that no paper carry ing the deta'ls could go through the mails. The inspectors reported that not a word of this sort of thing was 'n a Hearst paper. We printed the news. A man should never allow any- thing to go into his paper that he would not read to h's daughter."

FOR STATE CONVENTION.

Plan Is to Send Twenty-Five Delegates

to Topeka.

The state Y. M. C. A. convention will met in Topeka next Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 10, 11, 12 and 13. An able corps of lead- ers has been secured, and the oppor- 'unity to mingle with leaders in Christian work among men and to list: n to such inspiring addresses as are usually given at such conventions 's' one not to be missed except for the best of reasons.

Ottawa is entitled to twenty-five delegates, and is it to

be hoped that she can send up her full quota. Lodging

and breakfast will be furnished delegates free of - charge, and the fare from Ottawa to Topeka is not prohibitive, so few if any will have to stand back on ac count of the expense.

ATHLETIC NOTES.

Missouri has at last secured a foot- ball coach for next year. Dillon, captain and quarterback the on

Princeton team in '98, has been chosen. As yet Kansas has made no selection for coach. There is some agitation against continuing football at Kansas under the present rules. This is somewhat of a surprise, as no serious injuries have been sus- tained in football at K. U.

Coach Stagg of Chicago has been instructed to make out a soccer foot- ball schedule. The game will be adopted instead of the American game unless radical changes are made in the rules.

King Coal will coach Nebraska an- other year.

There should be some good basket- ball games among the classes this y. ar, as both the freshmen and the sophomores have good teams, and the juniors could get together a good team also. The freshmen have organized and have elected William Hickey cap" tain and Roe Barrett, manager. They are planning to schedule some high school games.

Kansas has as strong, if not a stronger basketball team this year than last. Up to date no game has
