Orator Spencer and his friends are
to be commended upon their determin
ation to waive further appeal of the dis
puted oratorical decision.
Though the question could have been
carried to the Associated Students,
there to he wrangled over and fought
out, by dint of much unpleasant dis
c.tssion and acrimonious debate, and
though it would have thus been deck!
ed definitely one way or the other,
judgment would have been rendered
according to ;>■ . judicc and personal bias.
Much dissention and ill feeling would
have undoubtedly resulted, and inter
bunch animosities would have been ac
centuated and deepened. Nor is it prob
able that ililts throwing the quarrel into
the arena of popular discussion would
have brought forth any new light on Ihe
problem, or that it would have adduced
any new testimony capable of serving
as the basis for a more equitable ad
justment.
On the contrary, the issues would
have become still more confused, the
arguments would very likely have hem
drawn int^ personalities, and the whole
thing would have been decided, not
upon the question of which one was
best qualified to represent the Varsity,
but. rather upon a test of which one
had the most friends ready to vote for
him.
Both men are remarkably able talk
ers, and certainly no one would fed
that the chances of the University would
suffer at the hands of either.
It is a most happy solution of a most
intricate and perplexing problem, and
Mr Spencer’s withdrawal is particu
larly graceful in view of his recent
brilliant victory in the inter collegiate
contest, liy his decision he has saved
the students from the embarrassing po
rtion o! deciding between two capable
men and stopped a quarrel that prom
ised to lead to unpleasant and unfor
tunate complications.

FRESHMEN PLAN GOOD
Peter Crockett Will Speak and
Glee Clubs Will Warble
Sweet Songs
The assembly hour next Wednesday
morning will be turned over to the
freshman class and the committee has
' prepared a program which will well
repay those who turn out to hear it.
I he address will be delivered by Peter
Crockett, while Miss Young will give
a reading and several musical num
bers arc scheduled, including a solo by
Wililam Lai, the Freshman Glee Club,
and the Girls’ Choral Club. Mystery
surrounds the latter number. The Em
erald sleuth heard melodious slounds
issuing from the music room in the
Dorm and immediately “beat” it there
to gather in a scoop, but he was prompt
ly kicked out and told that if he valued
his life he must not disclose what he
heard. He values his life.
GIVES EXPLANATION TO
EUTAXIAN LITERARIES
An unusually pleasant meeting of the
Eutaxian Society was held at the Kappa
Alpha Theta house Wednesday evening.
The program, which was the best of the
year, was given by the following: Vocal
solo, Edna Miller; piano selection, Sa
rah Smith; impromptu talk, Lilah Clark;
parliamentary drill, by the members of
the society. The feature stunt of the
evening was Cornelia Pinkham’s speech
on “Why I Became a Eutaxian.” As
Miss Pinkhatn had onl joined thir
teen minutes before her speech, she was
well appreciated. Delicious refresh
ments were served, and the evening
ended in a general social time for the
society.

ORATORICAL CONTEST
LOST SIXTY DOLLARS
According to Manager Huntington,
there was a loss of approximately six
ty dollars on the recent oratorical con
test.
As all the hills are not yet in a de
tailed report can not be given. The
main item of expense was the ban
quet .at the Hotel Osburn, which was
free to practically all who attended.
The receipts at the contest cover this
expense, with a small margin remain
ing. The ather expenses were for ad
vertising, programs, transportation .and
entertainment of the judges, a gold
medal, and a few incidentals, making
a total of about $60.00.
The Glee Club of the University of
Copenhagan will tour the United States
