The school is glad to see Prof. Ros- son back to his work again. He is recovering very nicely from the oper- ation on his leg, which he underwent in Kansas City. During his absence Miss Lulu Brown had charge of his normal class, Chester Roberts and Leslie Rice of the geometry classes, and Hale Blair of the physics class. Prof. Rosson walks on crutches.

THAT WICHITA TRIP.
Don't forget Friday, March 11th. Remember that as the day on which occur three intercollegiate events at Wichita, in which Ottawa University is very much interested.
It is urged that this interest in who wins the state oratorical contest, the men's basketball game with Friends, and the women's game with Fair mount, be shown by a big delegation of O. U, students. It will be an an- spiring thing if an Ottawa contingent can give "Roly Boly" a half-hundred times, more or less, at Wichita on March 11th. The athletic teams will play better in the afternoon, and the orator will orate better in the eve- ning.
It is, of course, too bad that train connections with Wichita are so poor, but they might be worse. If the Ot- tawa students want, and can afford, a rousing good time in a good cause, they will go to Wichita.
WANTED:MORE ALUMNI NEWS.
The Campus has received a frank criticism from an ex-Ottawa student. who wants to know why this paper does not furnish more alumni and

"has been" news. "That department is one of the most interesting to those who are not now in school," writes the critic. The managers of this pa- per are forced to admit that this de- partment has been weak this year, but is at a loss to say who is to blame. It is certainly true that the staff has made an earnest effort to get news about the old "grads." Be- cause it has not succeeded very well, has not at any time impressed a be- lief that there is no news along this line. There is alumni news. The alumni have the news.
Ottawa people are aware that grad- uates, and ex-students, when they get out of college, are a busy lot of peo- ple, but think that perhaps word might be sent to the Campus occa- sionally. It often happens that the old students know a lot about some of their classmates which would be real news to their friends.
The Campus urges that the alumni, the "has beens," the "old grads," call them what you will, write occasion- ally and send some news. This year have been published some excellent letters from former students, and the columns of this paper are always open for news of that kind. Alumni news, let it be understood, always has the right of way in the Campus ..
WHO. IS AFRAID, ANYHOW ?
Under the caption, "Who's Afraid ?" the Wesleyan Advance, of Salina, seeks to pacify the panic-stricken students of the Methodist college there by assuring them that all the news about Ottawa's orator, John Shields, which has been scattered over the state by such newspapers as the Salina Journal and Wichita Bea- con and Eagle, may not be so. The Advance said:
A certain college belonging to the oratorical association has a man up for the coming contest in March, and of whom some colleges seem to be afraid. There is no reason why this orator should be feared more than any other orator in the contest. True, he has won out in the prohibition con- tosts, but Wesleyan has had winners in the state Prohibition contest who best, also well and good.
did not rank high in the local prelim inary for the regular state. A gre. change can develop in oratorical ci cles in a very short time, and there no doubt but that some of the form great men of oratory in college ci cles would have difficult work to ho a good ranking now.
We do not believe in sending oi the cry, "Watch out for so-and-so, } is a strong man." If he is a stror man he will have a chance to wol for it along with the other contes ants.
We believe that Wesleyan's ma this year has as good a chance of wi ning as did Clark of last year, or : Mack the year before. There will 1 one thing that he will have to co tend with that no other man w! have to face in the contest, and th: is prejudice. It is only natural thi the other colleges would rather se first place go to any other colleg than Wesleyan; and it is but natur that the judges will watch Wesle an's man closer than any other co testant, because of the fact that We leyan has had first for two consec tive years. However, Baker Unive sity received three straight firsts, ar if we can produce the goods we Ce do the same thing. And we believ we are producing the goods.
All that Wesleyan's man needs 1 bring him out is support from his co lege and he will get it. Probab. there will not be a big delegation a tend the contest, but if making hi- feel that we are for him strong wi help, then that help he shall have Wichita is inconveniently situate but a delegation will attend.
No college is treating itself righ when they say, "Look out for the man from down the road." This apt to cause your representative t become uneasy, and he needs assu ance more than "look out" signal Keep your confidence in your ow man and let the others go. The fe low who blows his fog horn too much before the storm will probably hav it out of repair when the story breaks.
So if doing our best can beat som other body's best then well and good But. if their best should defeat ou

Ray Heritage Is Being Talked of as Prohibition Candidate for Lieu- tenant Governor and Dr. Har- lan for Congress.
An effort will be made to make a young men's convention of the Pro- hibition party convention to be held in Ottawa April 28. Ray Heritage, Ottawa University, '10, has been men- tioned as a possible candidate for lieutenant governor on the Prohibi- tion state ticket.
A lengthy article in the Kansas Prohibitionist, the official organ of the party, also mentions
Herbert H. Jones, of Wichita, of the class of 1905, Ottawa University, for the same office. Heritage has a strong follow- ing among the porhibitionists of the state, it seems. His strongest com- petitor in the race will no doubt be Mr. A. E. Hedine, '09, of McPherson College, formerly an extensive dealer in grain in Western Kansas. The supporters of Hodine are urging his superior business qualifications, ad- vancing the argument that he has "made good" in the commercial world.
-
The Heritage men, on the other hand, advance the argument that he is a capable, level-headed man, who would inspire the confidence of the people of the state and make votes; that he is a good speaker, and knows exactly what he is talking about all the time. The sentiment among the college men of the state seems to favor Hedine, although the Heritage backing is not insignificant, and is growing stronger.
Dr. Rolvix A. Harlan, of the Univer- sity, has been mentioned as a possi- ble candidate for the nomination for congress on the Prohibition ticket, to make the race against the winner of the Scott-Mitchell race for the Repub- lican nomination, in the Second dis- trict.
Cameras and other photographic paraphernalia are at a premium in Liberty, Mo., now. William Jewell College has declared a holiday Feb. 11, for the classes, frats, clubs, and other organizations, to have their pic- tures taken for the "Tattler."

DR. HANSON ON BURMA.
Struggle Between Christianity and .. Buddhism Over There, He Said.
The joint meeting of the Christian associations in the University chapel last Sunday afternoon was one of un- usual interest. Dr. Olla Hanson, Litt. D., of Burma, spoke.
In his address Dr. Hanson spoke particularly of the work in Burmah,, among the Burmese, the Karens, and the Kachins.
Contrary to the general opinion the real contest for religious supremacy in Burmah is not between Moham- medanism and Christianity, but be- tween Buddhism and Christianity, he said. Buddhism is feeling the effects of the introduction of Christianity, and is trying to meet it on its own ground, as far as possible, by estab- lisbing young.men's associations, hos- pitals, and girls' schools, things un- heard of there a century ago.
Dr. Hanson spoke at the First Bap- tist church in the morning and at the North Baptist church in the evening.
WHO OWES THE TREATS?
History of England and History of Education Classes Disagree.
Mention has been made of the fact that Dr. Foster's history of education class is waiting for a treat due it from Dr. Harlan's history of England class. The story has been that the class in educational history deserved the treat.
That is only one side of the story. The English history class claims that. the treat goes the other way.
The competition between the two classes last semester to maintain a perfect attendance record gave rise
o the present dispute. The class having the first absence agreed to en- tertain the other class.

JAMES ROKES HERE.
An Ex-Member of the 1910 Class Vis- ited Classmates This Week.
James Rokes ex-'10, who has a posi- tion at the state hospital at Osawat- omie, spent a few days visiting col- lege friends in Ottawa this week. Mr. Rokes was one of the men who did things when he was in college, and he still retains a large interest In student affairs here. Probably no other man in the class did so much good work at inter-class dome-paint- ing and stand-pipe lettering as did Mr. Rokes. He says he would like to go through the experience again.

"Flunk" notices to the number of 1374 have been sent out by the regis- trar of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. It is not believed, how- ever, that the canning of so many students will materially affect the price of meat.
In Iowa, Drake, Ames and State, are fond of mentioning the "big three" colleges of the state. Morningside likes to say "big four," Grinnell calls it the "big five," and Cornell writes of the "big six." It all depends upon where the news comes from.
Professor Percival Lowell, of the Flagstaff, Arizona, observatory, has recently discovered and photographed a canal, 1,000 miles in length, on Mars. The canal was not to be found on the planet a few months ago and astronomical · authorities believe it to be artificial.
College News is the name of a new co'lege weekly sent out from Lebanon Valley College, Annville, Pa. It is published by J. W. Esbenshade, a for- mer student there, now in business in the town. Mr. Ebenshade was head of the department of mathematics in Campbell College, Holton, Kansas, in 1905-6.
Recently the University of Kansas, Lawrence, offered fellowships to be conferred upon students of all the 'eading colleges in Kansas. Kansas Weslyan University, Salina, although in every way in advance of some of the favored schools, was not included 'n the list of institutions receiving fellowships.
An observing exchange editor has noticed that the Ottawa Campus has led the college papers of the United States since Christmas in the publi- cation of prohibition news. The Syra- cuse, New York, Daily Orange is a close second, andthe Drake Delphic, Des Moines, Iowa, comes in for cred- table mention.
President C. E. Shelton, Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa, has resigned and will travel in Europe after the school year closes. He is one of the most prominent and successful col- lege presidents of the middle west, Simpson College having under his direction taken a leading place among the Iowa colleges.
J. R. Bluck, the captain of the foot- ball team of Missouri University, Col- umbia, and one of the greatest foot- ba'l men of the west, has been ex- pelled from the University, and made ineligible to play the game next year. The action was recommended by the student senate, and carried out by the faculty. Bluck had been fined in police court for distrubing the peace.
The co-eds of the University of Chicago have declared a boycott against all men who wear mustaches. At the University of Minnesota, re- cently, a number of women set upon a professor and amputated his mus- tach because they objected to his style. It seems that the average college man who wears a mustache never has much luck with the co- eds.

A LAYMEN'S BANQUET.
Over a Hundred Ottawa Men Discuss- ed Missionary - Situation.
The University Campus Quartette furnished music for the Leyman's banquet at the Methodist Episcopal church here a week ago Monday eve- ning. At the banquet were prominent laymen from each of the churches in town, almost a hundred being pres- ent. Of these a considerable number signified their intention of attending the Laymen's conference, which is now in session in Topeka.
The banquet was in line with the general work of the Laymen's move- ment, the most energetic and enthus- iastic movement for the advancement of Christian missions organized in a number of years. The laymen are brought together to discuss the mis- sionary situation, and from these gatherings delegates go to larger con- ferences held in different parts of the country.
