Debate, Resolved, That the Railroads of the United States should be Owned and Controlled by the Government. Affirmative—Sullivan, Hellstrom; Negative—Finney, Jones. The program for Jan. 9th was not responded to as usual, probably on account of the vacation. However there was a very large crowd at the meeting. Quite an excitement was manifested in regard to election of officers the strife seeming to be between Juniors and Seniors. The following officers were elected: President, Mr. Stanley; vice president, W. E. Railsback; secretary, Mr. Hilton; treasurer, Mr. Sullivan; ex-committee, Fisher and Blume. It was a complete Junior victory and the boys seem very well pleased with the result. Mr. P. P. Ridings has been absent from the recitations lately on account of sickness. Mrs. Brown expected to be called home last week on account of the serious illness of her mother. However she is recovering at present. Prof. J. W. Green is endeavoring to have a bill passed by the legislature admitting the graduates of the Law school to practice in any of the courts of the state. Dr. Summerfield has been away during the past week on legal busi-ness. Prof. J. W. Gleed, of Topeka, will be here soon to take the Senior class through the study of real estate. Successful Contestants. Last spring Messrs Fulton& Trueblood, of the Kansas City school of oratory, trained one or more contestants for over a dozen contests in and around Kansas City, and without a single exception their pupils won all the first prizes. These contests included those held in the Missouri State University, the William Jewett college, Park college and several female colleges not in Kansas City.

Mr. Ethel of Topeka and Trump of Salina visited with Miss Lister of the music school the first of the week. Lawrence is hardly able to dig her "corn dogger" out of the mud these cold days, not to speak of clearing the walks. It is about time for our semi- annual examination kickers to be on hand. They will doubtless have something to kick about. "College Life" a weekly published at Emporia college has been enlarged to twice its former size. "College Life," is a bright paper and fairly represents its college. No. 27, Vol. 8, March 28, 1890 is missing from the Courier files, and as Miss Watson wishes to send Vol. 8 to the bindery it will be deemed a favor if any one having this number will kindly turn it over to the library. Professor R. J. Fulton, the resident director of Fulton & Trueblood's school of oratory in Kansas City, has just completed his annual engagement in the Ohio Wesleyan University where he had over two hundred students in his classes. He will remain in Kansas City until after his commencement exercises in June. Do not forget the local oratorical contest in the chapel next Friday evening. Make arrangements to be present now, and to bring your friends. Nothing disheartens an orator more than to speak in a large hall to a small audience. To be present is the least you can do to show your interest in and to encourage those who are working for the reputation of the University. Remember, next Friday night. Quizzes have been incomparatively frequent this week. The executive committee of the State Oratorical Association has decided to hold the state contest at Topeka instead of at Emporia. The change was made because the Whitley opera house in Emporia was engaged by a theatrical troupe for the 18th of February and Emporia had no other hall suitable. K, S. U, is well pleased with the change and will see to it that Topeka resound with Rock-Chalk-Jay-Hawk-K. U. on that date. Crane won at Topeka. A meeting was held in the chapel at the end of the fourth hour last Friday for the purpose of discussing the gymnasium question. President Canfield stated that if a large enough number of students were willing to do some systematic training that the Armory or Turner Hall could be secured at a small cost to each one. About forty signified their intention of doing the work. Professor Sterling made a speech urging all students to bear William Blaikie that evening. Meeting adjourned. Local Oratorical Contest. Never before in the history of the University has there been so much interest taken in the local contest as this year. Ten orations were handed in to the faculty committee, from which number six have been chosen. Each oration on the program is a strong one and the winner will have to be an unusually good man.
