A MAN who tries to show off what he knows, shows that he has neglected one very important thing. - Ex. THE College of Emporia is happy. The Normal is no longer represented in the Oratorical association. KANSAS STATE University is rapidly forging on to the front. The total enrollment this year is 875. We will soon belong to the front rank of the universities having an attendance of over a thousand This increase is highly gratifying to those who have worked to bring Kansas University up. It shows that the work done by Chancellor Snow and his associates has been noticed and noticeed favorably. It seems that all universities some time or other is run over with publications, weekly or otherwise. The Ohio State University is the last one to come out with a new weekly called the "Indicator." It seems quite probable that the different Baptist colleges of the west will come to an understanding, and combine with Chicago University as the head, for the purpose of equalizing undergraduate work. THE Normal people seem to be very much in touch with the "swell" athletic events of the East Prof. D. A. Ellsworth, is connected with the golf record, May 4th, by making the first link in two strikes. The best that had been done heretofore was to make it in three strikes. KANSAS seems to be very much taken with eighth place in the inter-state oratorical efforts. We think that we send good men. Why is it that they get such low grades? Is it true that we of the Sunflower state are not orators? Surely not! It must be fate. THE field sports show very clearly that the State University has a finer class of athletes on her team this year than ever before. Notwithstanding the high wind blowing all of the time the sports were in progress, good records were made.The men who are to go to Chicago will doubless make a creditabl showing. ONE reason that men do not "call" more is that they can never tell when women are glad to see them. A woman whose caller bores her so much that she will talk about him afterwards, treats him as well as she treats a man she really likes to see. This is polite, and possibly it is all right, but men are unable to tell where to draw the line. So, to avoid being bores, they seldom make calls. —Atchison Globe.
