THE STUDENTS JOURNAL.
Athletic Election.
The University Athletic Board met Friday for the annual election of officers. H. I. Maxwell was chosen president: J. B. Cheadle, vice president: R. R. Mitchell, secretary: Hugh Means, manager of base ball; James Owen, manager of track athletics. The board adjourned without having elected the foot ball manager. For this office the votes were divided between Fred. Bowersock, Prof. Hopkins and Jack Morgan.
K. U. Pin.
Owing to the rush of work in the establishments of the manufacturing jewelers at the time the pin design was adopted, and to various other circumstances; the jewelers have been very slow in submitting their prices. Letters are now coming from them, but not all have been heard from yet. A considerable number of the leading firms of the country were written to, and every effort is being made to secure the most reasonable prices.
Mrs. Jenness Miller.
All the physical culture girls are rejoicing over Mrs. Jenness Miller's coming next week Friday She is to lecture specially to University students, although anyone may go to the lectures. In the talk upon dress, she appears upon the platform in different costumes. Some of the costumes shown are most costly and elegant for occasions of leisure, such as carriage dress, reception and full evening dress; others are more simple, but, still beautiful, such as home dresses for dinner, afternoon receipts, etc., while for more practical uses she shows a tailor made walking-dress, rainy day dress, school girls' dress, and correct housewife's dress. Mrs. Miller does not offer women a uniform: she seeks to teach every woman the physiological needs of her body and how to adapt dress to those requirements.
Gentlemen may attend the evening lecture but Mrs. Miller prefers to talk to women and girls only upon artistic care of the body which lecture is given at 4 in the afternoon.
Students tickets (to all students) are fifty cents, admitting to both lectures.
Economic Seminary
The attendance at the meeting of the Seminary last Monday evening was unusually small. Those who were not present, however, missed a very enjoyable program.
The paper on Topolobampo, by J. H. Engle was very thorough and thoughtful in its treatment of this important community. The reports given were also very satisfactory. At the next meeting, next Monday at half past seven, Professor Blackmar will give an account of his trip east, taken during the holidays. During his trip he attended meetings of the American Economic Association and of the American Historical Association and also visited some important co-operative establishments. B. B. McCall will review "The Human Drift," a book containing a very elaborately constructive theory of socialism. If time permits other reports will be given.

COLLEGE WORLD.
I leaned across the orchard gate And held her struggling head.
Why was I then so cruel, pray. And she so full of dread.
She struggled hard, she struggled long:
I can see her even now.
As I looked into the big brown eyes
Of our dear old brindled cow.
Rose Technic.
That a college education is thought essential before taking up studies in a special line is shown by the fact that seventy-five percent. of the students of the Harvard law school are college graduates.
