X HALLEY'S COMET A .. CELESTIAL WONDER.
The reappearance of Hallay's com- et, which was sighted moving in a northerly direction by observers at observatories last week, is an item of much interest especially in scien- tific circles.
This comet, swinging in an ellepti- cal orbit, makes its perihelion pas- sage at a distance of about 66,000,- 000 miles from the sun once in about seventy-six years. The time required varies even five years,owing to the variable influences of the plan- ets. It will have required 74 years and 106 days to complete the trip of 6,800,000,000 miles this time. It is expected that the celestial wanderer will be visible to the naked eye in about three months, and that it will remain visible until some time next summer, coming nearest the earth about May' 20, 1910, when it will be 12,000,000 miles away.
The tail of this comet is many mil. lions of miles long and it streams always away from the sun.
The visits of this comet have been traced back to 204 B.C., and it is possible that it was in existence longer ago than that after its appear- ance in 1682. Edmund Halley sus- pected that it was the same comet that had appeared in 1606, and pre- d'cted its return in 1758. Several mathematicians took an interest in the hypothesis, and taking into con- sideration the' attraction of all 'the then known celestial - bodies; after · several months of steady calculating they traced the comet out into space more than six billion miles. Now, as- suming it to be affected by Jupiter, as it approached or retreated from that planet, and again calculating the con stantly varying influence of Saturn, they predicted its return with a mis calculation of only a few days.
In 1835 the comet returned within three days of the time of its predict-
ed arrival, greater accuracy having been made possible by increased knowledge of the masses "and post tions of the planets.
A Word, About the Heavenly Body -. It is impossible to stater at this That is Interesting All Students of Astronomy at This Time. time whether the spectacle will be luminous or dim and almost invis- ible. Some of the magazines, especi- ally those of a scientific nature, dur ing the next few months will contain exhaustive articles concerning; this phenomenon.
A RHODES EXAMINATION.
Scholarship Competition Held . at Lawrence Oct. 19-20.
A newspaper story says:
Chancellor Strong has announced that the examination for the appoint- ment of a Kansas Rhodes scholar- ship of Oxford will be held at the university of Kansas October 19 and 20. Greek will not be one of the re- quired subjects in this examination. If the applicants pass all other quali- fications they will be required to make up the Greek before receiving the appointment. By right of rota- tion . a Washburn man will receive the appointment this year, but in case none qualifies it will go to one of the other schools. Kansas ha had four Rhodes scholars. Earl W. Murry of the university, now pro- fessor of Latin in the university of Kansas, was the first. He was follow- ed by Frank Mohler, of Washburn, Warren Ault, of Baker and George Putnam, of K. U.
Men from K :U., Washburn and Baker have received the appointment thus far. Last year Dr. W. S. Gor- d's, professor of classic languages here, expressed the hope that some O. U. man might compete.
"College Spirit" is Defined.
"College Spirit! What is it? This is the formula :- love of teacher and student for the college, plus submis- sion of the individual to the general academic good, plus appreciation by the students of the highest ideals, plus songs and sports as expressing college devotion- these constitute college spirit."-Chas. F. Thwing.

has always been a popular place', Charlton Cottage, on the campus, and young ladies who room there are leaders in college activities. The Cottage is this year crowded to ca- pacity. An interesting article on the Cottage was in the Ottawa Herald a few days ago, from the pen of Paul A. Martin, ex-'11, and is printed by his permission:
Charlton cottage is enjoying a full share of the college boom this year. .
As is generally known, the cottage is the provision of Mrs. O. C. Charl- ton, who enlisted in the work of the school and who found one of its hind- rances to be the lack of special ac- commodations here for girls.
In 1885 she began to raise the money to supply this need. Perhaps no one will ever know what she had to go through, but after five years of hard work she had collected to- gether $5,000.
Sixteen years ago Charlton cottage stood on the campus, complete; awaiting the opening of school, and the arrival of the first girls who were to call it "home." There were only six the first year, but every suc. ceeding year witnessed an increase.
Today 29 girls occupy it while many applicants are in the matron's room from girls whose names were late to be given assignments. The greatest growth of the cottage has been witnessed the last ten years, eight of which have been watched over by Miss Margaret Stickler, the present matron. Miss Stickler came here in 1899, first as assistant mat- ron.
The present year there are 29 young ladies living there, several of whom have been there for several years, while others are newcomers. The list of occupants as given out s as follows: Misses Augusta Geis- enhener, Oberlin; Anna Wallace, Stafford; Edna Wallace, Stafford; Mary Bush, Glade; Nelle Patti, Gar- lett; Lorena Cassidy, Wichita; Kath- yn Garnett, Nellie Janssen, Lorra- ne; Beulah Fields, McPherson; El- za Rice, Hiawatha; Alma Grass, La-

The profits which accrue from the year's work, are expended during the summer, on the necessary improve- ments around the building and grounds. Concrete walks have been laid, and the building put in splendid repair. During the past summer, new rugs were secured for four of the girl's rooms; several new pieces of furniture were bought for the parlor and reception hall; while a linoleum covering has taken the place of the o'led floor on the spacious dining room. Many of the rooms were re- papered, and all the polished floors were refinished. The summer im- provements cost in the neighborhood of $130.
Within the next few years carpen- ters will be at work enlarging the cottage. Miss Stickler plans an ex- |summer.
tension on the east, for the basement and the first floor. The plans are mainly for the enlargement of the dining room, which is at present fill- ed to its capacity. 53 have been seated at the dinner tables, three of which were set in the dining room, while the other was in the downstairs hall. A special table is set in the din- ing room for the boys who secure their dinner there, 12 of them at din- ner, and 8 at supper. The tables are presided over by two girls who se- cure their board and room in return for their services in the dining room. Charlton cottage is conducted on a purely business basis, but so well is it managed that it is ranked as one of the finest ladies cottages in the state, and is considered the center of Ottawa university's social life."

fle, but the chains and padlocks which the Sophmores had furnished were insufficient and the captives trouble. It was almost dark, the on- ly light being that from a pile of burning logs replinished by the on- lookers. The Freshmen were almost wholly unacquainted with their own classmates, and had to rely upon sig- nals, but soon the battle turned in their favor. They outnumbered their antagonists nearly two to one, and in a few minutes there were as many "downs" as there were Sophomores. In a short time the Freshmen were tying their opponents, hands and feet, with bailing wire, and the Soph- omore girls were busy with a wire cutter or two.
Reuben Ober, the one-legged Fresh- man was in the thick of the fray from the beginning. At one time two Sophomores were upon him, and one shouted to the other, "you tie his
feet while I hold him down." In a few moments the answer came, "how can I? He's only got one." The Sophomores put up a most excel- lent fight and it required fully an hour of tussling to subdue them. They were then lined up by the victors and flashilght photographs made of them, after which they were released and served with remnants of the fried chicken.
Taken as a whole the affair may be said to have been free from many objectionable features common on such occasions. The casualties were few and slight, the most severe be- ing a slightly fractured collar-bone suffered by Chester Roberts, '12. Harry George, '11, exploded some flashlight powder too close to his hand and was severely burned. Riv- ard Dill, '12, got a broken nose.
Following the tussle, which was witnessed by a large percentage of
the students of the university, the students returned to town and par- aded up Main street, singing college songs and shouting college yells.
The next regular contest between the two classes will be of an entire- ly different nature from the physical encounter of last week; it will be the annal Sophomore-Freshman debate, which will be held on the third Tues- day in February.

A new wire fence across the west line of the field, put up by Coach Wann and a few students, was finish- ed Thursday afternoon. The fence cost $21, and it cost about $115 to bring the Salina team here. Ottawa citizens turned out to the game fairly well, and there was a good student crowd.

With 137 Students as a Beginning, Prospects of a Large Chorus Are Good-Music Cred- it to Academy.
The first practice for the "Messiah" chorus was held last Tuesday even- ng. There were 137 students pres- ent and considerable enthusiasm was tirred up.
This year credit will be given for participation in this chorus not on- y to collegiates but arrangement has een made to give credit to students of the Academy. Heretofore fifteen credits have been required to admit ne from the Academy to the college. But under the three-year course only fourteen and one-half credits could be obtained in regular work, there- )y causing considerable trouble. This rear, however, the college will accept as entrance credit one year of music. t has also been arranged that credit

The gymnasium work for the Fresh- man and new
Academic girls will be carried on with greater vigor this year than heretofore. The gym work has previously been used more for a recreation period for the girls but the plan is much different this
year. Besides the general gmynas- tic work which was pursued last year, there will be lectures on various top- ics of vital interest to every girl. Ex- aminations based on these talks will be given and a satisfactory grade must be received before advancement can be made.

THE COLLEGE ORATORS MAKING PREPARATIONS
UNUSUAL EARL INTEREST SHOWN IN THE ANNUAL LOCAL MEET.
IS
Already Three Men Aspire to Repre- sent Ottawa in State Contest Next March.
Some interest has already been manifested in the oratorical contest, and more will doubtless be aroused a little later. The local contest of the Kansas Collegiate Oratorical As- sociaion will probably be held within the next ten weeks. Any college stu- dent is eligible to enter this contest with an original oration upon any topic he may select, the length of the oration being limited to two housand words. The local contest is under the management of the Student Council. Ottawa's winner will represent the school in the state contest in compe- tition with nine of the leading col- leges of the state at the state contest, which will be held in Wichita in March; the winner of the state con- test will represent Kansas in the In- ter-State meet.
Among those who are preparing to enter this contest are Marcus Clem- ons, '12, A. R. Miller, '13, John A. Shields, '13 and Geo. Collett, '13. Frank Price, '10 has been working on an oration for some time, but he has not decided as to whether he will en- ter. Mr. Miller, who competed in a contest at William Jewell last year, is writing on "King David, the Na- tional Hero of the Hebrews." Mr. Collett will probably speak on "Fred- erick the Great." Mr. Shields' topic
"Lincoln, the Mr. is Politician.' Clemmons will select as his subject. a phase of international arbitration.
Ottawa will doubtless be represent- ed in the intercollegiate prohibition contest which will be held at Mc- Pherson in February. This contest will represent more schools in Kan- sas than the Inter-State Association represents, and as a national system the intercollegiate brings together
about five times as many schools as does the Inter-State. Both are first- class Associations and Ottawa ought to go in for highest honors in each of them. W. D. Goble, '04, won the Inter-State Association state contest at Topeka in 190, 4and W. E. · Mon- beck, '06, won an inter-state contest of the intercollegiate series at Win- nebago, Minn., in 1906. It is Ottawa's turn to win again this year.
It is desirable that more enter the local oratorical contest, and any who have ability in that line should do so. Last year a senior, a sophomore and three freshmen entered; the freshmen came in too late, however, to make a good showing.
FOR THE NORMAL GAME.
Coach Wann Announced the Saturday Football Line-up.
The line-up for the Emporia normal football game at Emporia today was given out by Coach Wann as follows: Right end, Hickey; right tackle, Cros. by; right guard, Lundy; center, Bow- er; left guard, Miller; left tackle, F. Martin; left end, Reynolds; quarter- back, F. Price; right half, Coe; left half, Alderman; full back, Frink. Coe has been shif ed from end to half back. Lusk is barred from the game, and Hickey goes in as end. Arch Mc- Candless will probably play quarter- back during part of the game. Erwin and Batten also went along as sub- stitutes.
The game scheduled with William Jewell for Thanksgiving is up in the air. It may be that Baker will play here with Ottawa on Thanksgiving.
GOAL ALMOST REACHED.
Campaign Will Probably Be Closed in a Week.
A $500 subscription to the indebt- edness fund was received on Tuesday from W. M. DeVore, of Williamsburg. It is expected that the remaining $3,000 will be raised within a week, which wil .make up the $90,000 goal.
The office force is now engaged in collecting the pledges made during the endowment campaign.
