Doran, Henri Nickel, L. A. Stebbins and W. S. Jenks. The chosen nine are well known as orators, and undoubtedly will make a good contest.

Scouller, a druggist of Hiawaha, Kas., writes that he would be very glad to take an assistant from the present class, one that could be recommended by the professor.

There was almost as much excitement over it as over a society election. Joe Rolston was elected president for the rest of the year. if the students could have their say, the amateur drum corps of Lawrence would be ostracised from our midst. A little music or good music is acceptable to us all, but when on six nights of the week two and three lifes and as many drums stir the air with discord and vile sound, then do we feel that it is becoming a nuisance. Some day the suffering students will rise in their righteous wrath, and then there will be trouble. There is a limit to our endurance. Orophilian society presented an interesting program last Friday.
