The game Thursday night was free from some of the roughness that has characterized some of this sea- son's contests. There was a good crowd out. Hickey and Blair, who have been playing at guard for most of the season, were displaced by Coe and Barrett.

The officiating was satisfactory, the referee being fair. The score:

THE LECTURE COURSE.

Dr. Cadman in "The Puritan in Two Worlds" Thursday Evening.

Dr. Samuel Parkes Cadman, who is the fourth attraction on the lecture course, will lecture at the Rohrbaugh next Thursday evening on "The Puri- tan in Two Worlds." Dr. Cadman is highly recommended by the secular and religious press of the country as having a striking personality and an original message.

With Dr. Cadman's lecture, there are three numbers left on the course. For the remainder of the course ses- son tickets will be sold at fifty cents. Tickets will be disposed of by Frank Jennings. The Floyd Entertainers and the Schildkret Hungarian Orchestra, which follow Dr. Cadman, are high class companies.

The reserved seat board for next Thursday evening's attraction will be open Tuesday morning at Miller's drug store.

DIRECT CHAUTAUQUA MUSIC.

Prof. J. W. Bixel was secured re- cently to direct the music at the Ot- tawa Chautauqua assembly to be held in Forest Park next summer. A large chorus will be organized. Prof. Mc- Cutcheon, of Baker university, was in charge of the music last summer.

JUST HEAR THE NOISE LIKE A NEW GYMNASIUM

THE STUDENT COMMITTEE HAS BEEN ORGANIZED AND MEANS BUSINESS.

John Shields Is Chairmanand Frank Jennings Secretary of the Com- mitte of Five.

The committee which was announc- ed some time ago to have charge of the campaign for the new gymna- ium met with President Price last week, and organized itself for busi- ness. John Shields was elected chair- man of the committee and Frank Jun- nings secretary. Although no definite plans were made, the situation was thoroughly discussed and the new $25,000 gymnasium looks like a real- ity to the committee. It was decided that the canvass must be carried on by the students next vacation in their home communities. A thorough can- vass was made of the state last year for the endowment and at this time a systematic canvass would be imprac- tical. If Ottawa has a new gymnas- ium it will be because the students want it bad enough to raise the money for it. There is no question but that the University's greatest need is a good gymnasium, and it is possible for the students to raise the funds for it.

The other members of the commit- tee are Frank Price, Harry George and Chas. Martin.

Ottawa University should have a new gymnasium for several reasons, the most important of which is that the gymnasium is needed worse than any other thing. The students be- lieve this. There are other reasons why that gymnasium money should be raised. One is that the Freshman class started a big thing when they started this campaign, and such a movement should not be allowed to relapse if it is possible to culminate it. The gymnasium committee should be backed by the student body, each one of which should make it his duty to work during the summer to secure s'bscriptions.

THE OTTAWA CAMPUS.

GOVERNOR HADLEY WAS NAMED FOR PRESIDENT

THE PHILAL-OLYMPIAN REFORM CONVENTION DEVELOPED POLITICIANS.

The Tariff, Immigration Restriction, Irrigation, Woman's Suffrage, Were All Debated.

In one of the most interesting and enthusiastic sessions held in Ottawa University chapel, the Olympian and Philal literary societies met Monday even ng in a National Reform con vention, adopted a platform, and nam- ed Governor Herbert Hadley of Mis- souri, as the candidate for president.

The platform in general as adopted embodied the planks providing for tariff reduction, an educational re- quirement for the right of franchise, restriction of Asiatic immigration, na- tional reclamation of land by irriga- tion, a bureau of mines, and woman's suffrage.

Following the adoption of this plat- form, Hadley was named for presi- dent, defeating Beveridge, of Indiana, by a vote of 98 to 71.

The meeting held all the elements of a real political convention. Bossism caucussing, grandiloquent oratory and satirical debate all found place in a realistic manner that smacked much of the great conventions of our na- tional parties. The issues of present day politics were met and threshed

out in a manner that promised well barring Japanese and Chinese immi- for the future of American National Reform.

The convention grew out of a pre- vious convention, held by the Phi- la's, which proved so interesting and successful that it was decidede to hold a joint meeting of the two societies and open the convention to the entire student body.

Frank Price and Ray Heritage op- posed each other as bosses of of the convention, supporting respectively Hadley and Beveridge. Price's plan of action, and the organized surprise and vote with which he carried Had- ley through vied in ingenuity with that of any political convention.

The session opened with John Shields chairman, and Miss Krouse secretary. After the seating of the delegations and the ruling of the or- ders of the day, a preamble, organiz-

ing the assembly and stating the pur- pose of the convention was moved by Mr. Jenks and adopted.

The first plank proposed was a bill providing the reduction of the present tariff schedule, by . congress. There was an attempt to evade this issue by certain delegations, who proposed referring to a committee, but after a scathing attack upon this procedure, the assembly voted in favor of the im- mediate consideration of this measure and the motion to refer was with- drawn. It was then amended by sub- stituting a bill placing the revision of the rates in the hands of a non- partizan and competent committee, and in this form was adopted.

Following this came a plank from the Georgia delegation favoring the repeal of the XVth amendment. This brought forth the hottest and most onatorical debate of the convention. Chairman Battin of Iowa declared it "a blot upon the manhood of the American nation," "an insult to the heroes of the bloody fields of the re- bellion." He argued the advancement and progression of the negro during the past fifty years as equaling even that of our own race, and was some- what taken back, as, at the climax of his eulogy, he heard some "prejudiced sinner," loudly quote as an example "Jack Johnson." However, the house seemed in favor, but compromised by the substitution of a measure provid- ing a strict educational requirement as a basis for negro enfranchisement, and another plank was spiked to the structure of the platform of the new party.

Immediately a plank was introduced gration. Without much debate this was passed without amendment. A proposition disenfranchising all but the Caucasian races was moved as an amendment, but the gentlemen who thus attempted to run their previous- ly defeated XVth amendment repeal through , met with exposure, and an emphatic negative vote, which exhib- ited the spirit of the convention in un- mistakable terms.

The Idaho delegation then proposed national promotion of irrigation for the reclamation of arid lands, and the measure met almost the unanimous approval of the assembly and passed quickly.

A plank providing for a federal com- mission of mines was adopted and fol- lowing this came one proposed by Kansas putting the convention on rec- ord for woman suffrage, This proved

the most humorous bill of the evenir and became a bait for the Kans presidential vote, both delegatio bidding for the Kansas support. T measure then passd without much ( citement, carried by a small majori at this time the orders of the d were called for, and the polling 1 nominations for the presidential ca didates began. Delegations were ca vassed and re-canvassed, petition promises, trades, stand-patism, lobl ing, all were in vogue, and the galle strained to watch the result.

Alabama, polling first, yielded Missouri, and Frank Price began t real work of his machine, by nomin ing for president Governor Hadley Missouri., Colorado waived a Elder, of Rhode Island, with a poli ed and inspiring speech, seconded t As nomination by Missouri. 1 Elder concluded, a great blue banı bearing the inscription "Hadley president," swung out over the hea of the delegations. A great rush enthusiasm swept the convention. ] Elder was lifted to the shoulders his admiring adherents for a umphal march around the hall, ar the wildest applause.

Following quiet restored again, Heritage of New York made an swering speech, nominating, "no new man, but an old, a man tru and tried, whose name need not written upon blue calico, but stamped indelibly upon the hearts every loyal reformer, Beveridge of diana. A round of enthusiasm qu as great, though not as sensation followed Mr. Heritage's speech, Massachusetts immediately second There were two minor nominatic Watterson of Kentucky and Graves Georgia.

THE SENIORS AND THEIR THESES.

Request Goes to Faculty for

No Theses or Credit to Be Given ..

for Optional Theses.

The seniors have started an agita- tion for the abolishment of the senior thes's from Ottawa University. A committee composed of Heritage, Coe and Miss Woods were appointed by the class to wait upon the faculty and lay the matter before them.

The committee in investigating the matter found that out of twenty-five . standard schools, . only four require senior theses as a part of the work for which credit is given. The theses stand taken by the seniors is about as follows: Many schools do not re quire the theses at all. And since there is no credit given for the work the thesis has to give place to work for which credit s given. The theses come in the busiest time of the stu- dent's life-the last semester of the senior year, and many are forced to turn their theses in before they have been able to work them up to a stage representative of their ability.

The plan that seems to strike the most of the class as the most feaible is an optional theses, that is, let the faculty set a standard; let the stan- dard be very high and if the thesis comes up to the standard let the fac- ulty award credit for it. The seniors think that from one to three hours would be about right.

Prof. Nichols expressed himself as thinking that every student should write a thesis but not necessarily a senior thesis; the thesis should be written as a part of some course, for whioch there should be credit given the same as upon any other work.

At a faculty meeting held Thursday afternoon it was voted not to grant the request to do away wth the thesis this year. No action was taken con- cerning next year.

PROF. ROSSON IMPROVED.

Academy Teacher Was Removed from Kansas City Hospital to His Home

Prof. J. T. Rosson, who underwent an operation in the Baptist hospital at Kansas City last week, was brought home Wednesday. The operation was successful in removing the cause of trouble in the bone of the left leg. His recovery has been steady this week. It will probably be several weeks before he will be able to return to his class room work.
