A professor once ordered a bottle of hock, saying: "Here, waiter, bring me a bottle of hock, hic, haec, hoc." The waiter, a college man, never stirred. "What are you waiting for?" inquired the professor; "didn't I order a bottle of hock?" "Yes, sir," replied the waiter. "you ordered it, but you afterwards declined it."—Ex.

Elocutionary.
There seems to be quite an interest manifested in oratory this year Professor Vickery is trying a new plan, which being systematic, bids fair to bring good results. Instead of having two or three large classes as heretofore, Professor Vickery has divided the excursionary students into sixteen sections of from eight to ten members each, and fifty sections of from three to five each. The former meet once a week and the latter from two to five times. Each section keeps a roll book and record of its proceedings and the result is that each member be on the program at every meeting and that he take a different part each time. By this means no one is omitted and every variety of talent is cultivated.
There is also a class of about sixty in the Law school which is doing excellent work under the immediate direction of Professor Vickery who has besides from fifteen to twenty private students. The work done in this department consists of dramatic readings, declamations, origina orations, speaking extempore and debates
if the interest, which is now manifested,
continues we may hope ere long to have
as large a a quota of "silver tongued"
orators as any institution in the state.
About the Goal 'Kick.
Try our Velvet Skin Lotion, for sale only at City Drug store.
It is the general opinion among critics and friends of football, that but few changes will be made in the rules governing football. One change, however, in regard to the goal from a touchdown has been proposed. Last year the productivity of such a goal kick was cut in two, and this year it is urged that it be entirely abolished. It is said that Professor Stagg of the University of Chicago is in favor of its abolishment. Coach Huff of the University of Illinois looks with disfavor upon it and the same is true of Coach Barnard of Northwestern and Coach King of Wisconsin.
The objection to the goal kick is that it often gives an inferior team the advantage. It is argued that such a goal gives no evidence of the ability of a team to score and roll up points, and that the poorest man on a team might be the best goal kicker. The man who kicks such a goal, and has all the time he needs, and the points thus gained show nothing of the ability of the team A decidedly weaker team might score on a fluke, and kick a goal, perhaps tying the score or even defeating a superior team.

Student Vacation Work.
Plans are now being made by the Y. M. C. A, for the conducting of religious work by students during the coming vacation. This work has been carried on for the past two years during the Christmas holidays by college students under direction of the state committee. last year twenty students from six colleges organized in bands of four or five and held meetings lasting eight days at six places.
A large number of students is expected to engage in the work this year as this branch of Y. M, C. A. work seems to be growing in interest and favor. Several requests for bands have already been made by, padlors.
It is customary to send five in each band one as a leader who is accustomed to public speaking, one to lead the singing, three others to assist in initiation work, singing, personal work, speaking etc.
Any young man in this University desiring to know more of this work or to gain in it should inquire this week of one of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet,
