THE CONTESTANTS for the inter-state debates are being eclipsed daily by a variety of students engaged in the discussion of the probable outcome of the Japan-Russian controversy in the far East.
POPFESSOR HOPKINS is getting ready to make an "investigation,, in the class in journalism. He had presumed that hustling news ar I working out special assignments was not conducive to the growth of the tender sentiment, but the discovery of divers verses of an affectionate character has changed his mind.
THE COMMITTEE of "Twenty-Two" is doing some highly commendable work in raising funds for the building of a club house on McCook field.
There is certainly a necessity for some sort of a shelter tor visiting athletic teams. The gymnasium is too far from the grounds to take a team for bath and dressing room accommodations and at a small expense these can be provided for on the field. The plan of raising funds by the sale of K.U. buttons is a good one for every student wants some sort of a K.U. emblem and feels that the purchase has become a duty when the proceeds of the sale are to be used for a university purpose.
H. ATWOOD in his address to the Editorial Association Monday night that our present civilization rested upon two pillars—the newspaper and the public school system. In other words civilization is dependent on education. A glance at the great powers among the nations of the world satisfies the observer that such is the case. The quick rise of Japan on whom the eyes of the world are now turned, exemplifies this idea. Until a few years ago she shared the same position intellectually that China has and was the latter's inferior in national power. But she was willing to be taught. She threw her doors open to foreign enterprise. She was willing to learn all that others knew and the result has been to progress rapidly from a fourth or fifth rate nation to one that seems to be capable of holding her own with one of the greatest nations of the world.
TO
She has eyes that can be steely. They would make you shiver really.
She has eyes that can be steely.
She's an eminently practical young miss;
And my faint heart goes a flutter
At the wisdom she can utter.
But the corners of her mouth turn up like this
She's unearthy fond of learning But her journalistic yearning
Those of masculine persuasion take amiss;
They're a blooming lot of stupids Not to see that bow of Cupid's
Where the corners of her mouth turn up like this _
She's distractingly specific On all matters scientific.
She's a living, breathing, moving sacrifice
On the alter of her "calling," And her fireness is apalling.
But-- the corners of her mouth turn up like this
She's cold blooded and we know it Independent and she'll show it.
But—the corners of her mouth turn up like this
And her style is far from being hit or miss.
She's the dearest little woman,
Could I but be sure she's human,
Heaven grant she doesn't take the
doubt amiss!
"donde daras!"
I've a mind to tell her nearly
That I love her dearly, dearly,
When the corners of her mouth
turn up like this
By a K. U. journalist.
COL. D. R. ANTHONY'S remark that "Brains are cheap; you can buy them cheaper than you can raise them," has not to the WEEKLY's knowledge been denied by a single member of the University faculty.
SINCE the breaking out of the war and the burning of Baltimore, articles relating to the Manhattan Cadot Corps, Missouri University's Chair of Poultry, and the "Chair of Journalism" at K. U. are not placed on the first page of the Kansas newspapers.
THERE IS considerable talk in university circles at present regarding the baneful influence of college traditions. One Michigan professor says "that college traditions are killing Oxford." If Oxford University is dying, it wouldn't hurt some of our Western instutitions even K. U., to try a trip with old Charon.
ISN'T THE K. U. yell wher given in enapel a little 'weak'? The WEEKLY hasn't any knocking to do upon the giving of the university yell in chapel, but couldn't we have just a little of the spirit in it that is manifested on the foot ball field? The students probably think that they should be quieter in the house than out doors and so endeavor to gently modulate their voices in the chapel; others think that their help will not be needed at first and wait until half the yell is finished before they join in the chorus; while a third class seem to save all their wind until the two final syllables, and not having used all their breath upon these, prolong the "U" with the soft drawn out cadences of a prairie wolf or a whipped spaniel.
When we yell in chapel, let's remember how we yelled at the Nebraska foot ball game and—raise the roof.
The law students at Yale recently tried Hamlet for the murder of Polonius. Fortunately for the melancholy Dane, one of the jury was opposed to capital punishment and so Hamlet got off with a life sentence.
The sixth annual international chess tournament between a team from Oxford and Cambridge and one from Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia will be held in the latter part of March. Harvard and Yale are each entitled to two representatives on the American team, and Princeton and Columbia one each. The contest is for a silver shield offered by J.N.Rice of New York.
INTERCOLLEGIATE NEWS.
The students at the University of Chicago have formed a comic opera club.
The late Charles F. Doe of San Francisco has left a legacy of $600,000 to the University of California for a new library building. This is considered one of the most timely gifts ever made to Berkeley, as the need of an adequate library has been felt for a long time.
The American Classical University at Athens is the smallest university in the world, and has just commenced its twenty-third year of active work with six students. The students are all Americans, engaged in classical research work. An interesting fact about this large student body is that each student has a fellowship. Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Smith, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Wesleyan University are represented. The school has already performed valuable excavations at Corinth and this year will attempt to enter other fields.
X. Y. Z. DEBATING CLUB
The usual interesting meeting was held in the X Y. Z. club room last Saturday evening. The program was opened by a parliamentary drill, conducted by Livers.
The debate of the evening was on the question, Resolved, that the present attitude of Russia is a menace to the peace and safety of the civilized world. The discussion was participated in by Cowdrick and Logan for the affirmative, and Finch and Coleman for the negative. Petit, Livers and Leinbach officiated as judges and gave their decision in favor of the affirmative.
Following the debate, Leinbach gave an eight minute speech, and Petit an extempore talk. Both Mr. Petit and Mr. Leinbach spoke on subjects of especial interest to the club, and their remarks were received with hearty applause.
A short business meeting was held at the close of the literary program, and a considerable amount of routine business was transacted. The secretary was instructed to prepare a news bulletin and mail it to the nonresident members. This is in accordance with a rule adopted last fall, providing for a plan of systematic correspondence between the club and its graduate members.
