A petition was being circulated Tuesday, asking the faculty to appoint a committee to take charge of the lecture course. The management is now under the charge of private parties and hence is causing great dissatisfaction. We have not yet learned the result of the petition.
A new version of an old story,—St. Peter to aspirant for entrance into the celestial city. "What didst thou while on earth?" Aspirant: "I played in the rush line of K. S.

The quiz in American History brought to light some new spellings which hitherto have been unknown. Here is the sample: "Cartea," "duchman," "Chespeaque," "Vesprecious." The reading of documents in old English may account for the demoralization. We should like to excuse the above, but, Shade of Webster! let us learn to spell-

The new football suits are to have the letters of the University on the breast and on the back, and a discussion has arisen as to whether they should be K. S. U. or U. K. We would prefer U. K. denoting Univ rsity of Kansas which sounds much better than Kansas State University. For examples look at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Michigan and others. By all means let our institution be known as the University of Kansas.

AMONG YE LAWS.
A scheme is on foot whereby an order for all the text needed by the law students is to be sent to the different publishers in the east. The order will amount to about $500 and we should receive quite a discount from the usual exorbitant prices.
Last Friday W. C. Campbell of Topeka delivered a valuable and interesting lecture before the law school. The gentleman's subject was "The Police Powers of government." Much credit is due Mr. Campbell on the thorough and careful manner in which this lecture had been prepared. He receives the hearty thanks of the entire student body. This is the first of a series of twenty or thirty lectures which are to be delivered before the school. There are many special topics which can be successfully treated by one or two lectures. These will be delivered by leading members of the western bar.

The Seminary.
The Seminary of Historical and political science met last Friday afternoon with a very large attendance. The session was strictly a students meeting, students filling the entire program. The subject for consideration was Russia and the Jews, Mr. R. D. Brown was the first speaker, his article being New Light on the Jewish Question. He said that the general idea prevailed that the trouble in Russia was one of religion but such was not the fact. The entire trouble could be attributed to social causes. The Jews as a class are in a much better condition than the peasants which causes discontent and intense hatred on the part of the latter.
Mr. J. H. Sawtell presented a paper on Persecution, its Severity and Extent. From his research he found that the Jews were very cruelly persecuted. Laws have been enacted forcing them to live exclusively in the cities whether they had any trade or not and other conditions are generally deplorable.
The Jewish Immigration was Miss Bessie Hand's subject. Miss Hand said that the Jewish emigrants were generally of the lower classes and were physically unfit for the hardships of colonization. In our reception of the Jews humanity must coincide with statesmanship.
Mr. C. H. Peabody had the subject Russian Finance a Bad Investment. He said the national debt had increased wonderfully in the last few years.The national credit was strained to the utmost. Unless Russia's suicidal policy is quickly reformed its financial rain is sure and certain.
These papers had been prepared after careful research among the various magazines.
Mr. H. E Copper read a paper on Methods and Places of Refuge. Various remedies were proposed, among them the plan of Baron Hirsh. The Baron expects no relief from the czar and says that its own plan of colonization in South America will be carried out in the near future.
Prof. Blackmar in closing spoke of the importance of the question as a race problem and oommended its study sociologically.
