The following is the constitution of the Oratorical League, which was submitted to the Student Council last weeik. The Council failed to ta'ke definite action upon it because of the highly increased expenses it wiW bring albout. Undoubtedly the constitution, in its present form will be submited to the student body in

a mass meeting sometime next week. Watch the bulletin boards.

Our poetic hunch that "My Pal' ' .was the result of an eariy morning walk into the country wap aM wrong, as Xezex informed us i;he other day that it was due to a couple of extra hours in bed one morfying when he should have been studying. Now we are between the devil and— or, . rather, between tlie Faculty and literature, in trying to decide whether we should repri-mand or encourage him.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION

fThere is a teaidenlcy in the student body to came to mass meetings total-ly unprepared to vote judiciously on whatever issues may be brought up there. It should not be thus. Be-cause it ia thus, a clever, though il-Dogical speaker, is often able to rail-road through measures that are ex-ceedingly ill-advised.

fThe new constitution drafted by the officers of the Oratorical League will, undoubtedly, soon be presented to the student (body for considera-tion as regards adoption. The stu-dent Council is authorized to adopt it in behallf of the student body, but, in* a council meeting beld last Friday, it was practioally decided to waive this right in order that a more ac-curate and representative vote of the student body might (be obtained. Another council meeting will be held sometime this week and, if the decis-ion of the last meeting is austained. the conetitution will be voted upon by the student body sometufie next preeik. Be prepared to cast a prudent vote.

The new constitution, it will w noted, calls for a total of one. hun-dred and nine dollars for prises, to be paid (by the Student Courtcil,— a fact it behooves one to reflect up-on. Already the Student Council is required to pay nearly a hundred and ftfty dollars for orators^ and de-baters' t r a v e l i n g expenses. The add&oA of the prize money ex-pense means an etnilarged budget and a greater assessment upon the individual student in the tfortn of f eea And the aasesament is already high. What to do in a case like this is a point that the student body must decide in a weejc or so. Hope's ora-torical prestige must not be allowed

produce of ceaseless energy and un-tiring) efforts. For almost a year a pictoed group of students has been entrusted with the duty and pleasure of bringinjg a new product to Hope, and now their efforts are nearing fruition—fruition but not comple-tion. It still' remains for us to make the final arrangemenits for the recep-tion of the new comer. Altho-the vast majority of the students are eagerly anticipating the time when the Milestone will make its de-but, there are some who are not yet prepared to receive it. To the sub-scription department has fallen the arduous yet pleasant task of prepar-ing a grand reception for the latest Hope annual,- and four months of consistent effort have resulted in the promise of a long receiving line of Hopeites and friends of Hope.

This will itodeed be a grand wel-come, but at Hope we team to deal only in superlatives; we must have the grandest welcome possible. To the "preps" especially we commend this newest product with hearty sin-cerity. The 1921 Milestone is al-most as much a ' T r e p " publication as one'of the college. (More space is devoted to the ^Preps'' this year than in any preceding annual, and as a logical conchision, the new Mile-stone should receive a more ̂ heatty welcome from them. • In order to "break even" in this method of boosting Hope and, at the same time, amusing Hopeites, the Junior class needs the support of evr ery student—collegiaai or "prep." Our sinpport means your subscription. Get into the receiving line, and give your annual a welcome that will do credit to yourself and your school.

our erstwhile sufferers recovered. Now, the moral of this little tale

ia: Take the hint which nature has gwm. ' Now—before the soft and balmly Spring returns—is the time to finish book reports, essays, themes, outside reading, note books, and all those odds and ends of work which were going to be done during spring vacation, but somehow were not done.

Make one mighty effort now, clean up all your outside work if, later, you would answer the "wild, sweet, woodland calli,, and "lie 'neath the blue, blue sky'' and dream while the soft freeze listeth here and there and all that sort of thing; for while you watch a glowing golden sunset, this Siren call wiU hire you to de-struction " i f you don't watch out.''

Y. W. C. A. The Y. W. hour this week was

given over to a discussion of Eight-Week dubs, and it resulted in an interestinig and inspiring meeting. The short devotional services had the underlying idea of seeing God in nature, and the appropriate songs. Scripture verses, and quotations brought this out very plainly. An explanation of the • purposes and plans of the Eight-Week Clubs fol-lowed. Several giirls who had con-ducted them last summer told their experiences and others told of what they intended to do in that line this sumfwer. As one speaker very fit-tingly said, ."Around our Y. W. tri-angle, an electric current passes from God thru me to the other girl. But if the connection is broken, God's current can not flow freely. So it's my job to se that the current keeps on flowing to others and the Eigh-Weelk club is just the thing that is needed for that purpose.

IN THE SPRING

In the Spring young men 's fancies lightly turn,—grandmother gives the children a tonic and spring fever "rages rampant thru tbe ranks." Of these events the one which most threatens to desrt-roy the equilibruim of the students' life (with the possi-ble excefption of the first) is the spring fever epidemic.

There are very few persons who are imonune to the virulent germ of this fever. After the disease has once been contracted, there is no re-liable remedy for it which has yet been discovered. Scientists have found patients inoculated with a serum known as •'will power" have resisted infection; but this treat-ment varies with the patient and has not proved infalliible. The r disease in itself is not dangerous to the stu-dent, but "the condition in which it leaves the sufferer is a critical one. For weeks after, whenever he is sub-jetoted to the slighteflt excitement such as a quiz or a written test, he ia sea zed with violent chills and ut-tadklB similar to the ague. Cases have been known where the students has not recovered from its dire effects by the middle of June.

This year a premature spring stole upoi* the students everywhere and caught thefm unawares. Many began to laftguiah and to exhibit other dis-turjbing symptomsr but Nature her-self came to the rescue.

MORE DEBATE POSTPONEMENT fThe Debating League aeems to

have a jinx follow 1 nig it around this year. Here we are in the last week of April, and not one debate here at home. And what is worse, there will not lbe a debate this week. Last Friday eveningi Judson Gosterhof, President of the Detbating League re-ceived a long distance call from De-troit stating that it was necessary to postpone our debate with them. Now, we cannot question the validity of the excuse which Detroit School of Law offers. The bar examinations which, were to be held on Apnl 21 and 22 were postponed to the 28th and 29th days of April. This post-ponement is wholly within the power of the State bar examiners, and « no fault of the Detroit Law School.

There is one consideration, how-ever, which we cannot overlook. The seeming promiscuous cancelling of dates has at the root of it a lack of consideration for the other school. Certain things may arise which make a debate impossible at the scheduled time. There are certain things which do not warrant i change of schedule. The f^ct that a school finds itself a weeik before a scheduled debate with no team to take cari ot the situation, does not in the least warrant a telegram calling for a post ponement. That ia plain lethargy-More than that it is lack of respon-sibility, and a woeful lack of reapect for others.

The situation this week is a very similar case. If these examinations were to be held on Thursday and Friday of last week, did not the De-troit people know of this until late Friday afternoon? From a very no-ticeable lack of abiding by a certain clause of the contract we are ur^ed to draw conclusions which cannot be expressed because of insufficient proof. This is not the first post-ponement made by Detroit this year, and the Anchor submits that it would far rather drop the entire Detroit Debate than to be constantly backed off the map. If we continue to ne-gotiate for a date we may finally have to stage the debate 9,A Com-menicement evening.

After the votes were counted it was found that Dickie was chosen to again lead the squad through an-other season- Dickie has just com-pleted his third year on the varsity squad, and as caiptain, during the past year, he demonstrated his albil-ity by hds hard iworfung qualities and fighting spirit when in the game.

Since the winners Jn the events are picked1 to repreew^ Hope on its varsity trapk team there is a double incentive for the athletes to put their best in every event. Last year th^ champipnahip was won by the present Senior class; but in-dications are that the events will be more closely contested thia yaar, due to new track material in the Fresh man date, and .more intereat shown by the other two classes. Although no definite date can be set for the meet at present, watch the Anchor and bulletin board for announce-ments. .Every true Hopedte, come out and supipoiit your class.
