The Baker Sporting Beacon devoted its space again last week to an argument of the question whether the Crimson or the Orange is the flag of the champions of the Mississippi valley. Your scheme was a deep one dear Beacon but you see it doesn't work well. People want you to earn honors, not win them.
The K U. Glee Club will be at the Congregational church a week from Tuesday, and will give an entertainment for the benefit of the Sunday school. The club's reputation needs no comment and we hope C. of E will do her share in giving them a full house - College Life.
As contest time approaches Miss Law is kept busy, and the College halls reverberate with the eloquence of the orators.—Life, C. of E.
Student (to paternal visitor)—"Don't be frightened governor, I was initiated into our college secret society last night—they dyed one-half of me blue. It'll all wear off in a couple of years."—Clipper.
Verily one must go away from home to learn the news. Look at this:
J. G. Wine, president of the State Oratorical Association, was beaten for county superintendent on the people's ticket in Dickinson county.
C. S. Griffin is one of the oratorical contestants at Lawrence.
M. S. Rice is one of the leading contestants at Baker.
Fred Ellis is thinking of entering the contest.
L. A. Phillips, '92, will play in the University base ball team this year.
Platt, the Kansas foot ball king, will lecture on "foot ball" before a Kansas City society. --Rounded Table.
"The editor of the Echo was accused by friends in a city paper of writing poetry. We deny the allegation and can lick the allegator if he will come out in the back lot. Bare nacks, no rules, no admission, no prize, coffee for two, pine coffin for one. Come one, come all." The above racy item comes from the Wesleyan Echo, Bloomington, Ill. While far from being so pugnacious, the whole paper has the same happy style of dishing up the college news. When you have read one paper you want another. We like the spirit of the Echo and shall exchange,
"The student who spends two hours per day confessing and promising to do better, and then stays out of classes the rest of the day thinking of some new way of violating rules, generally make a poor stagger at reforming." The paper from which the above was taken evidently lives in a college where the students must be goaded to make them them study.
But it is open to question whether in intercollegiate foot ball has a great future before it, or whether it is merely bask-in the temporary and treacherous sunshine of that popular favor which so recently left base ball in the lurch. As played at present, the game is far too complicated to be properly enjoyed by indifferent spectators.—New York Evening Sun.
Our oratorical association went democratic in electing E. T. Hatney as delegate to the convention which chose judges for the contest. —Winfield Round Table.
Now that the foot ball season is over, Yale and Harvard have arranged for a series of joint debates. The first debate will be held in Cambridge, and Yale will choose the question, and give Harvard choice of sides—Clipper.
"A few enthusiasts desire to organize a chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon, but their hopes must be blasted for D. K. E. is so very conservative that it would not grant a charter to a school so small as Champaign. It takes 1000 students and hoary age to catch the Dekes." The above item comes from Clipper but if you say K. S. U. instead of Champaign you have the exact condition of affairs in Lawrence.
The ambition to excel at the oar, on the base ball diamond or the foot ball field is infinitely manlier than the ambition which leads to fifteen-ball pool.
"dawningc" and cigarettes. Show all honor to the athlete and all pity for the dude! The era of effeminacy is passing and the nation has entered upon an era of mind, manhood and muscle.-Minneapolis Tribune.
Instead or the owl the foot-ball is the genius of the student's room. And if the "free born American college boy" doesn't have a slightly decreasing ambition to become a "fighter from way back" he is apt to get stump at his final examination and to graduate with the degree of M. K. (master kicker) only - Minneapolis Journal.
A Freshman knows everything; he has explored the universe. A Sophomore has the wisdom of an owl, but like that bird keeps still about it. A Junior knows a little, but begins to be a little doubtful about it. A Senior knows nothing.
Science Club.
There will be a splendid meeting of the Science Club today at 4 p.m. in the Chemistry building. All members are urged to be present.
LOCALS
The disciplinary committee should have made its report before the holidays and thus save some students an extra trip home.
"Der Zerbroheve Krag" seems to be the main tone of conversation just at present between the members of a certain fraternity.
Some of the professors have given their students a plentiful supply of work to do during the holidays. If the student is to spend his leisure time writing themes and forensics what is the use of having a vacation.
Castings for a new lathe have been ordered from Cincinnati. The lathe will be completed next term by the electrical engineering students and will have a sixteen inch swing and a six foot bed. It is intended for use in the shop.
The putting in of electric lights has been of double benefil to the University. Not only is the lighting much better than formerly but it is much cheaper than gas. The work of University students is substituted for that of the gas company's men.
Considerable stir has been caused at Cornell by the report of the class statistics to the effect that of last year's graduating class, the non fraternity students received an average mark of 78, while the fraternity students received an average of 64. The standing of the young women was included in the statistics.—Chiagro Inter Ocean.

Candy is not a necessity, but a luxury, and when luxuries are indulged in they should be of the best. There is not a man, woman or child who doesn't have candy. Candy is the candy, and did they ever stop to think that there is a difference in candy? some candy is made of impure and refuse goods, and its inferiority covered up with fancy coloring. Such candy when given to children only paves the way to aagination of health.
