Last night the local contest was held, preliminary to the State Oratorical contest to be held at Winfield, next March. There were eight contestants all of whom showed very excellent thought and composition but there were a few hesitations, indicating poorly committed orations. At the close of the program there was considerable interest current among the audience as to the decisions which were to be reported by the president. Each had his favorite and there were many conflicting opinions. All was silence as President J. B. Wilson mounted the stage to give the rankings. His announcement gave Mr. J. Kramer, first place; C. C. Carpenter, second; J. H. Tolan, third; and E. B. Sanford, fourth place. It has been learned later, however, of a mistake in taking the rankings of the judges. The correct ranking which is affirmed by the president and secretary of the association, give Mr. J. H. Tolan second place and Mr. C. Carpenter third, otherwise same as given above. The grading of the judges is as follows:
Considerable excitement was shown by different literary societies in supporting their men. Kramer belongs to the Snow. The subject of Mr Kramer's oration was "American Diplomacy." He shows plainly the advantages America has gained by her system of diplomacy both in political and commercial realms. Our system has been copied by other civilized nations to greater or less degree, still it is American diplomae.
Mr. Tolan's oration on the subject, "Humanity" was a plea for the emancipation of the human race. He cited the cruelty of modern civilization and demand for improvement.
On the same fadeless paper as we use for our best professional pictures.

Mr. Carpenter's oration "Man the Arbiter of his Own Destiny," showed the advantages man has taken in a material way over nature.
FRUITS, NUTS AND OYSTERS.
"Thomas Paine" was the subject of Mr. Sanford's oration. The unselfish devotion to the cause of liberty of Thomas Paine was the characteristic thought. Mr. Kube who was awarded fifth place, gave an oration on "The Growth of Liberty." Mr. Hulbert's oration, "Life's Greatest Problem," came first on the program and was followed by an oration on "Labor and Capital" by Mr. Rumold. Mr. Lacey was third on the program with an oration "The Field for Modern Heroism."

A good crowd was present and there was in evidence something of a spirit of revival of interest in the oratorical contests. The interest taken by the business men has encouraged the student body. The judges on thought and composition were Professors C.G.Dunlap, R.D.O'Leary and H.F.Jones, and on delivery Rev. L.P.Russell, Rev.I.E.Baxter and Mr.D.S.Alford.
The program was opened by the Mandolin club which received a hearty encore. The club also appeared as last number on the program where it was enced twice. The Jay Hawker Quartette appeared twice on the program making a hit as is its custom and receiving an encore.
SOCIETY.
Invitations for the Phi Psi party were issued on Friday.

The Alpha Tans entertained most delightfully Saturday night in honor of Miss Gould of Eureka, Kansas, who is visiting her brother Leslie. The party was held at their new chapter house 1117 Kentucky street.

Saturday afternoon the Y.W.C. A's gave their annual party to the girls of the junior class. The party was at the home of Mrs. A. S. Olin on Louisiana street. The invitations issued were in the form of railroad passes which entitled the holders to a trip to Frolictown
where they were to spend the afternoon. The party was an unusually novel one, and the girls had a delightful time.
Friday night at Pythian Hall Kappa Kappa Gamma gave its annual party. The room was elaborately decorated, the color scheme being white and green. The lower walls were solid white, and the ceiling was green, was studded with electric lights, which made a most charming effect. The orchestra was screened by a bank of palms, while in every available place were cosy corners piled high with pillows. Refreshments were served in the balcony in the latter part of the evening. Misses Katherine Sellars, Carolyn Armsby, and Louise Miller, of Olathe, and Messrs. Ray De Lano, Lee Davies and Floyd Tifford were on the reception committee. Promptly at 8:00 o'clock the grand march commenced, led by Miss Neva Lehman and Stewart Simpson while Miss Pearl Trickett and Mr. Dix Fletcher gave out the programs Among the out-of-town guests were: Miss Louise Miller, Maud Nichols, Grace Pettijohn, Harriet Bruner, Mr. Joe Kelley and Mr. Mrs. J.

Athletic Notes.
It has been quite definitely settled that the base ball trip will begin on April 26 and end May 3. A trip will be arranged which ought to induce the best material in K.U.to try for the team.
May 17 is set aside for the track meet between Missouri and Kansas. Manager Foster will try hard to make this event a great success. There will be no attraction on that day so that K.U. will be free to show Missouri a good time.
The University foot ball annual will be out not later than February 10. It is published in the interest of pure amateur foot ball. Besides being well illustrated the annual will contain scores of articles by leading foot ball coaches and critics. Kansas will be given a very large space.
The only encouraging aspect of the basket ball situation is that the sport is inexpensive and that the athletic association is not in danger of contracting big debts in support of the game. But the fact that basket ball does not entail one-tenth the expense of foot ball and base ball will not insure its success at K. U. The student body must shuffle off its indifference and get on friendly terms with this neglected brach of Kansas athletics. Why not? Do you admire endurance, activity, nerve, a good cool head and a quick eye in an athlete? If so attend the next basket ball game and see a good exhibition of these qualities. Athletics can't thrive on money alone—it must have encouragement.
Mandolin Club.
The Kansas University Mandolin Club will be one of the chief attractions at the Kansas Mid-Winter Fair to be held at Topeka next week. The boys will play at the Auditorium Monday afternoon and Monday night. A large delegation of students are going up to support the club, as the boys give a very high grade entertainment. A rate of one fare has been secured on all railroads.
The Cooley Law Club.
The Cooley Club was not as largely attended this week as usual because of its members having other work to do at that hour. However, the debate was splendid.The question, "Resolved That universal free trade should be adopted by all nations" was won by the affirmative.
