A debate with Washburn would be highly advantageous to us in two ways: both for the money it would net us, and for the impetus it would give debating interest here in the University. As to the matter of finances, our debating council has never been known to have more money than it actually needed, and sometimes it has been necessary to ask for subscriptions at the end of the season in order to make up a deficit. If we had more money we could treat our debaters better. For instance, we could give each of the debaters on a winning team some recognition of his services to the University. As to the matter of debating interest we need only compare the attendance at the Baker debate with the attendance at our inter-state debates to see what a debate with Washburn would do for us. Washburn is a worthy rival in other fields of competition, and there is no reason why we would not do ourselves good in every way by scheduling a debate with her.
Every student who can at all afford it should arrange to go with the football boys to Lincoln, and cheer the boys on to victory. Enthusiasm and consistent cheering mean much in a tight place. When the back field is clawing the dirt on their own goal line, trying to hold the opposing line, a ringing yell can put a lot of confidence and vigor into them. A long yell is worth many pounds in weight.
We have a good chance to beat the Cornhuskers. Let every fellow who can go, take advantage of the three dollar rate and make the cheering sound like a game on McCook field.
The Hospital Association is one of the best ideas that have ever failed from lack of support. It is going to fail to accomplish anything important this year unless the membership increases more rapidly than it has been. It is a safe proposition and a worthy one.
Are you going to Lincoln? Leave your name at the check stand so that you may get a seat in the Kansas section.
It can but seem to us that Dr. Hetherington, of Missouri is a little inconsistent in his newly adopted attitude toward some of the rules of the Chicago conference. Many of these rules have no force in this section this year, save as they are incorporated in the contracts. Dr. Hetherington is knocking for the abolition of the training table and for the change of the one term residence rule, which does Missouri no good this year, and the adoption of the one year rule. Last year Missouri played her freshmen in football season in spite of Chicago rules which were supposedly in force, while Kansas observed the rule religiously. We have some splendid recruits for the baseball team in Harlan and Kaufman; and for track in worden and Cooley, all of them freshmen, and eligible next term under the present rule. In as much as nothing was said about the change until so late in the season, such a shifting of position looks to us like selfish inconsistency to say the least.
Nebraska's refusal to take on another debate this year practically makes Washburn our only chance for a fourth debate. Missouri is the only other possibility, and in the light of the break last spring, Kansas could not and will not make any proposals.
ASSORTMENT isn't like wine-it doesn't improve with age.Later on there'll be fewer
to choose from than today. The lots will begin to get broken up. You may find patterns that you like, but not in the size you want. It won't cost you any more to come early and get the pick of the stock.

The juniors or seniors should get busy on the cross-country contest. Only three teams have been out for practice as yet, and unless four get in the silver trophy will not be awarded. It is an incentive well worth while, and the class teams should not undervalue it.
How it Happened.
Few men really know how they happened to choose a certain profession. According to the story, this is how "Uncle Jimmy" Green made his choice: At the end of his college course it was about even chances for the law and the ministry. Many family consultations and long personal debates ended in favor of law. By that act "Uncle Jimmy" decided that he would rather "save young men from short terms in the city lock-up, than to save them from hell for eternity."

While congratulating "Job" White upon his merry spirit after his hard knock in Saturday's football game a friend, Sunday morning, sympathetically asked: "Where did you get hit, Job?" "Somewhere between the 40-yard line and the goal posts."
Every student of the Bible should hear Madam Mountford's vivid and instructive lecture on the Holy Land, illustrated by costumes, scenery and moving pictures, at the M. E. church Monday evening, Nov. 5. Reserved seats 75c and 50c at Hester's jewelry store.
