O. Potter and Attorney A. C. Wood cock, their choii <? was entirely satisfac tory to the or "'il audience.

University of Washington, Jan. 28— The local chapter of Tau Kappa Alpha, the national ^debating fraternity, has announced itself as strongly opposed to the plan suggested by the Univer sity of Idaho for limiting intercollegate teams to undergraduates, claiming that such action would tend to lower the present high standard of forensics. I he local men claim th.at the debat ing teams at Columbia and other big eastern colleges are practically made up of postgraduates. They declare they will never stand for debating standards to be lowered in this manner. Wisconsin University lias an arrange ment by which all students may have the privilege of medical advice, calls and medicine at the rate of one dollar per semester. I he establishment of this medical service department, as well as the appointment of Dr. Evans of Phila delhpia as medical advisor, is the re sult of the work of the committee on hy giene. AGREES TO FILL PLACE LEFT VACANT BY IDAHO Manager Steele received definite word yesterday from the University of Mon tana that they would join the Inter state Oratorical Association to fill the vacancy made by the withdrawal of Ida ho. 1 he league henceforth, therefore, will be composed of the Universities of Oregon, Washington and Montana. 1 he University of Washington wishes simply to submit for ratification the old contract, but Steele believes that a new contract can be drawn up that will give better satisfaction. Among other things, lie will endeavor to have the contests judged on the effect they produce in delivery instead of as at present, first on composition and then on delivery. Accordingly be has asked Debate Coach Buchen, who lias had much ex perience in forming contracts, to pre pare a new one to submit. He will en deavor to get the matter settled before the tryouts at Oregon if possible, so that the same rules can govern the selec tion of a representative. This tryout will be held in about a month.

The University of Washington has de cided to impose a line upon students who register late next semester. Oliver Huston is spending the week end in Portland with his parents. SEASON TICKETS FOR BASEBALL IS PLANNED COACH KELLY OPTIMISTIC OVER PROSPECTS NEXT SPRING Manager Jamison Will Inaugur ate New System For Financing Varsity Team. Manager Harper Jamison will in augurate something new at the base ball games next spring. 11 is plan is nothing more nor less than to sell 500 season tickets at $2.00 per, which will admit to all the Varsity games of the season. These games will be at least ten in number, mostly with league teams and there will be no prep or scrub games put on the schedule. Thus the average price of each •game will he twenty cents at the highest. The assistant baseball manager will he elected immediately and the work of canvassing the city for the sale ol season tickets will begin at once. After the city is covered the management will start on the campus. In respect to “piggers,” throughout the season Varsity girls will be admitt ed free to the grandstand. To insure the season’s success it will be necessary to sell at least 1000 or these season tickets. The schedule next spring will he the heaviest the Varsity lias ever attempted, and it will take the co-operation of every student all the time. Along with being the heaviest it will also be the best. All the Con ference teams will play here and fans will have an opportunity to see practi cally all the best teams on the Coast. In his characteristic style, “Father Tom” Kelly says he will put out a team that wil clean up the whole Northwest “going and coming.” He is jubilant over the. outlook and with the bid material is sure he can whip the hunch into shape in time for the early opening of the league season, March 24th. PREXY SAYS FRAYS SHOULD SET STANDARD President Campbell called a meeting of the heads of the fraternities and clubs this morning in his office and talked to them on several points con cerning student conduct. He prefaced his remarks by a state ment concerning individuality at col lege, saying that the fraternities should * stimulate their members to carry out the higher ideals of college life. The old idea that fraternities were an evil, he said, is fast disappearing, and it only remains for the fraternities to show by their own work that it is entirely un justifiable. The following students were present: C. W. Robison, Chauncey Cunning, C. A. Osterholm, Wm. Kiltz, Verner Gil les, Dean Goodman, Ormund Rankin, Chester Downs and Glen Briedwell.
