The Post Exam. Jubilee
Last Saturday evening the Y. M C.
A. and Y. W. C. A. gave an entertainment in the University chapel, at which those who passed might jolly, and those who failed might find consolation. Dr. Naismith presided, giving a pleasant and humorous little talk at the opening. The affair was begun by "Rock Chalk!" and other college songs, after which the following short program was rendered:
Solo, - - - - Mr. Cropley
Reading, - - - Miss Kugler
Song, - - - Miss Walton
Recitation, - Mr. Scholl
Solo, - - - Sister Mern
Each member on the program entered directly into the spirit of the meeting and all were enjoyed by the audience. After the program the audience was put at liberty and requested to visit the refreshment bowl in the North hall. The remainder of the evening was spent pleasantly in the chapel and other rooms which were thrown open, and it was much regretted when the jinitor announced that he would have to close.
The affair was well attended by the students; there was however, a noticeable absence of the members of the faculty. It is presumable they did not have the cause for jollification possessed by the students. The faculty, however, had one representative. Dr. Naismith always has a witty word for the joyful, and his presence was much enjoyed by the students.
Such an entertainment is a good thing and should be encouraged each year. It furnishes a pleasant evening spent with other students when we have the happy feeling of nothing to do. The affair was a success and the associations are to be complimented upon their efforts.
The Oratorical Contest
Next Wednesday evening will occur the oritorial contest preliminary to the state contest to be held at Ottawa, the first of March. There is already much interest taken in this contest among those who are doing work in oratory. As many as twenty-two persons are writing for this contest, in fact so many desire to take part in the contest that it has been found necessary to have a previous contest on Tuesday evening to determine five who will be allowed to enter the preliminary contest proper. Last year there were only four working for the place, showing a vast increase in interest over last year. This is due to the fact that business men of the city are taking an interest in the work that leads up to inter-collegiate contests.
Mr. A. D. Weaver will give to the winner of this contest a twenty-dollar gold medal. This medal is beautiful in design and an excellent reward to the winner even if there were no honor in representing Kansas University in the context of the colleges of the state.
Mr. Rowlands, of the Rowlands Book Store will give as a second prize five dollars. The beauty and practicability of this prize is obvious. In addition to this the winner of second place has his expenses paid to the contest as delegate, or in case the contest taking first place at this preliminary is unable to appear at the state contest, he represents the University in that contest.
A lively contest in anticipated and a good crowd. The more interest shown in this contest the more there will be felt in the final at Ottawa and it is expected a good crowd will go down here to support our rep executive at Ottawa.
Most the rest of the colleges have selected their representatives for the final at Ottawa, and many of these representatives have been in training for some time. This year the Baker "Orange" will be the official organ of the contest at Ottawa and will contain the portraits and orations of all the contestants.
Meeting of the Executive Committee
The executive committee of the Debating Council held a meeting Thursday noon. The business was to arrange the details of the Kansas-Nebraska debate, to be held here on March 5th.
A committee of three was appointed to arrange for advertising, printing of tickets, programs, etc. The matter of securing a house in which the debate is to be held was brought up and a committee of three appointed to arrange for a hall for that evening. The general admission to that debate was placed at twenty-five cents; this includes admission to all parts of the house. Each literary society is to assume its portion of the expenses.
The matter of judges was brought up for discussion. The manner of securing the judges, however, placed this subject entirely beyond the control of the committee. The chancellor of each university names a man from the state of the other university and the two chancellors agree upon a third man from another state. The chairman of the committee was instructed to look after the matter.
There will be considerable expense to this debate, but it is anticipated that these will be met with ease. The student body and members of the faculty are taking more interest than formerly and will undoubtedly lend their support to this movement.
Although the total number of failures this term was not noticeably great, yet in a few classes almost a majority failed. Classes in physics, qualitative analysis, zoology, and medicine suffered most. Some of the medical students made such a kick that one of the teachers even offered to resign. Affairs were finally satisfactorily settled.
Junior Class Meeting.
Miss Myrtle Laslie, vice president of the Junior class, called a meeting of that body Friday noon. Committees were appointed and arrangements made for the Junior prom. The meeting then adjourned.
Rev. Dr. Bennett addressed the Senior class of the University Friday morning at chapel. The Seniors, who appeared for the first time in their caps and gowns, occupied the first front rows of the chapel. Dr. Bennett endeavored to impress upon them that when they got out into the world their morality and education would not be much above the average. He gave them much valuable advice on this subject. There was special music for the occasion.
Talk to the Seniors.
The Passion Play.
Friday evening the Ober-Ammergau Passion Play was presented at the First Presbyterian church. Everybody was pleased with the pictures, and the lecture part by Mrs. Boden was especially entertaining. The moving pictures showing the last supper, the betrayal, the crucifiction and the tomb, were very impressive. They stamped themselves upon every one who saw them.
The University people who attended feel themselves well repaid.

When We Can't Run
Basket Ball at Independence.
Treasurer Falks received encouraging words from the Chancellor recently. He is gaining in strength and weight.
The K. U. basket ball team was defeated Thursday evening at Independence, by the M. W. A. team of that place. The game was a regular whirlwind from start to finish. Although defeated, our boys put up a remarkable fast game. The Independence team was guilty of fouls throughout the game, and had Capt. Owen been able to score in a majority of his free chances the game would have been won. The finacore stood: K U., S; Ind, 11.
