14 THE STUDENTS JOURNAL. Ottawa University is soon to erect a gymnasium and Drill fall. Emporia College foot-ball team has been practicing hard under the direction of a coach from K. U. The Freshman class of Nebraska University is going to give a social. The '98ers of K.U. are too busy trying to evolve a football team to think of sociaIs yet. Nebraska is making active preparations for the Kansas-Nebraska debate. Four divisions of debaters have been made with eight men in each division. The subjects are: Division A. Resolved. That the principles and policies of the A. P. A. are un-American and inexpedient. Division B, Resolved, That capital punishment should be abolished. Division C. Resolved, That it was a mistake to grant the negro the right of suffrage. Division D. Resolved that the present social and political conditions of the United States demand a material increase in our standing army. K. U. is especially fortunate this year in having the services of Hector Cowan, who is beyond doubt one of the finest men that was ever on the foot-ball field. He is said by many to be one of the five great foot-ball men (viz.: Hefflefinger, Camp, King, Cowan and Moffat.)—Nebraskan. The Yale Courant offers prizes of $30, and less for the best stories and poems written by students. The Journal hasn't any "prize fund;" but the honor of having a production published should be enough to bring forth, especially in the line of poetry. Don't wait till spring—anybody can write poetry (?) then. There is a movement on foot to form an inter-collegiate association of all the college and university debating societies. Such a union has already been formed among the eastern universities and will probably spread throughout the United States. It is proposed to have a subject for debate sent out each week by a central executive committee, and it is thought that the discussion of the same question by so many societies will influence the press to give special attention to such questions and will stimulate thought on live issues, especially among the college students. A purse of $60 is awarded at Dartmouth to the member of the athletic team standing highest in his class. The Harvard Advocate contains a long and dull editorial upon the universal stupidity of college editorials, claiming that the reason for their stupidity is their insincerity. We wonder if this explanation accounts for the dullness the Advocate's editorial? Coal at Griffin's. Griffin, the coal man! Griffin the Coal man. J. M. Jones, the grocer. Go to Jones for groceries.
