We want to have >ne more fight with C. F. W., as we will not have a chance next year. - .If C. F. W. does not come out "enmasse'P tothe reception Mon lay night-we promise to take the 3pite out individually by throng ing the parlors there every time we get a chance. The students do not know what they miss when they do rot attend the public lectures riven in the chapel and LeConte :ollege. Dr. Venable's address was a masterpiece, yet very few students were out to hear him. When we settle in our little coun try homes we will not be able to hear such addresses. Let us have a larger audience at the next lecture and the next oratori :al contest or debate. THAT ORATION. The State Oratorical prelimin ary will be held during the first part of March. Carolina won first place two years ago, and it is her time to come back this year and win again. One college in this State boasts of having won first place four times out of the last five contests, and of having won second place that year. indeed, that institution no longer speaks of the meeting at Rock Hill as a "contest." They call it a "cinch," and they have a right to do so. Men of Carolina should wake up and put forth their every effort to win the contest this year. If you Jo not think you have a chance to win, get busy and make the man that does win put forth his every effort. Then if you lose, you have not lost the fight. You have made a better speaker out Df yourself and you have made a better speaker out of the man who does win. You have caus ed the winner to wake up and make a better speaker out of himself, and, further, increasing Carolina's chances to win. The men who are good orators owe it to the University to spend a little more time on their orations, tho now the orations be far bet ter than we -an do. An extra touch or a few extra practices may win the contest for you. We are in it to win this year. Let the whole student body co raperate by going to Rock Hill nn April 30, to see Carolina bring home first place in the S. C. I. 0. contest. Jordan: "Washington is an im mortal man."
