Company.
The students of the State University of Missouri are taking quite an active part in the discussion as to whether Columbia shall be chosen as the site of the new building.
OUR annual catalogue will be ready for distribution about the first of March.
All. K. U. students should mix into politics to the extent of securing the election of state senators and representatives who are friendly to the University.
A STATE college press association would be a good thing. The Courier would favor such an organization and would like to hear the opinions of its state exchanges.
EMPORIA College and the State Normal have finally settled their little difficulty and all is peace. At one time it looked as if the militia would be needed to prevent a clash of enthusiasm.
ATTENTION is called to the report of the treasurer of the Athletic Association which appears in another column. The report is certainly very gratifying to all those interested in K. U.'s athletics.
THE recent action of the faculty in recommending that a director of physical training be secured meets with the approval of all. With our rapid advance in athletics such an addition to the University is made absolutely necessity.
THE Industrialist criticises the system of percentage as used in the state contest, showing that one judge's marking may offset that of several others, and the per cent of perfection is not sought but only the relative rank. If the Industrialists system had been used Challiss would have been first, Poston second and Cook third. There is room for improvement in the present system.
To the Editor of the Courier:
Having been questioned several times about the condition of the treasury, I deem it my duty to make a public statement, in order that all students and friends of the Athletic Association may see what has been done in the financial line, while our eleven was sweeping the field. We have been very successful considering the heavy expenses incurred in backing and thoroughly equipping out team, as a glance at the following statement will show;
From former treasurer... $ 880 50
Received from games and the commit-
tee on excursions... 880 63
Total receipts... 81729 10
All the Sunday papers at Smith's. erty at Passon's Bazar,723 Mass. st.
Of this balance, $867.75 is deposited at the Watkins National Bank as an interest bearing deposit.
To foot ball ... 8 009 52
To tennis ... 19 83
To gymnastium and Mid-summer Nights'
to baseball ... 11 25
To base ball ... 2 50
EXPENDITURES.
It is desired that all persons having Athletic property in their possession, will please turn it over to Mr. Coleman, at the office, before the 4th of March, in order that a complete inventory may be taken of all goods belonging to the assosociation. W.H.Kutz,
Total + expenditures ... $ 642 12

It seems generally taken for granted among the athletic contingent that the grounds in the ravine will not be ready for use this spring.
A WARNING.
On whom the blame rests is not the present question. The gentlemen who so graciously accepted all responsibility in the last athletic election have an excuse, no doubt; and one that will at least satisfy the element which placed them in office.
The present question is in regard to base ball. All admit that our material for a winning nine is the very best. Yet this will avail nothing in hard fought games unless trained, organized and skillfully handled.
Our opponents are confident already, thattheir teams are almost completed, their batteries practiced daily, and they are prepared to take advantage of the first favorable weather. We must not expect the easy mark that was ours last year.
Let those at the helm remember the brilliant record of the eleven of '92, let them remember that the nine will wear the same unconquered Crimson, let them have a care lest our brilliant colors fade to a bedraggled and disgraced yellow while in their charge. The school will hold then to account in such an event.
TWO INSTITUTIONS
Sunday morning's Capital published a communication with the above head which contains some very interesting and significant facts. The article is a comparison of the Kansas State University and the Kansas State penitentiary and was suggested to the writer after an examination of the annual reports of the two institutions. One of the items given is that the total value of all the State University property amounts to $519,000 while the total value of the penitentiary is shown to be $1,652,643.
There is food for thought. Kansas spends three times the amount to reform and educate her convicts than she does to educate her best sons and daughters. The administration of the penitentiary is not criticized but it only seems justice to ask that the amount expended on the two institutions be at least equal. Many other arguments similar to this one are brought forth and the entire article is a strong plea for greater liberality on the part of the state to her great institution of learning. If more such facts could be brought before the people it would result in greater appreciation of the University and a larger appropriation would be made for its support.
"We wish to apologize to K.S.U. for the undeserved criticism in the last issue of College Life on her orator at the state contest. Mr.Challiss, of course, as well as the rest, was not faultless, but the criticism was unjust. As a speaker he had the best voice of the evening and made a fine appearance. He also is
a straight-forward, good fellow." — Thanks. We now retract our eens sure and are content.
OUR SENATE.
Elsewhere will be found a full report of the organization of the Kansas University senate, including a copy of the constitution and bylaws as adopted. The meeting passed off very harmoniously and all are confident that the senate will become a permanent fixture in the University. It is very gratifying for the COURRIER to be able to make this announcement, as it has boomed the idea of a senate ever since it was first suggested.
The benefits of such an organization are many and those who become members will receive training which will be of great use to them in after years. It is the intention to study the leading social and economic problems of the government, at the same time becoming thoroughly conversant with the rules of order which govern legislative bodies.
Some objections have been made to the restriction placed on membership, namely, confining it to the seniors, juniors, specials, and those law students who are taking work in the collegiate department, but it is no doubt a wise move. A senate composed of the above named classes will be just about the right size for a successful working body. And the questions discussed will be almost parallel to a large portion of the regular optional work.
Now that the organization is perfected let every member see to it that he does his part towards making it a success in every way. When this is accomplished, it will not only prove profitable to all concerned, but will be a credit to the University. It should be kept clear from college politics and every meeting should result in "Harmony and Success."
A Kansas exchange has hit upon a novel plan to keep subscriptions paid up. Every time a delinquent subscriber is mentioned his name is inverted. For instance: "youp pouas and wife are spending a few days in Chicago." Every other reader understands what it means and there is a grand rush among the negligent to get right side up again. —Hiawatha World.
