It is the urgent request of the athletic board that any one caring to participate in any of the contests, indoor or on the field shall hand his name to the manager of the track athletics-Foster. There is still a decided lack of interest, or at least of application for preparation. The events will be called off in about four weeks, which is short enough to get into condition. The board intend making this year's meet the most elaborate and successful of any so far as in its power, but whether or not we hold our own, with the other state universities, whether or not we will have a track team at the the intercollegiate contest, will depend on the individual efforts put forth.

W. S. Pope blooms out this week in a card to the Students Journal in which he quotes a few passages from the Bible and other wise sayings. His remarks were directed toward R. R. Mitchell. He claims that certain statements made about him were false and that "his consuming desire would not let him accept certain offices." He also says that he does not consider an oath sacred when the objects for which it was taken, and the means adopted to attain those objects were wrong and corrupting. Pope, it will be remembered, was the man that exposed the secret organization which has held sway here for some time. In other words, he is a disgruntled politician.
