With the announcement that K. U. may soon come into possession of a $20,000 endowment, the question arises, where can the money be expended to the best advantage? What is the most urgent need of our school? We think there can be but one answer to that question, and that is that above all things give us a new gymnasium. It is only natural that each department should want all it can get, and we doubt not that there will be several clamoring for this sum, but it seems to us that an impartial person who is familiar with the facts will certainly say that a new "gym" is the frying need at K. U. The demands of other departments have been satisfied but the athletic boys have been allowed their hole in the wall in which, as one of the boys expressed it, "to start the paraphernalia." When the present "gym" facilities are considered the records that K U has made in athletics is mitraculo us. Other schools have large commodious "gyms" but we have shorn them of their laurels. What couldn't we do with a fine gymnasium. It is difficult to get an appropriation from the legislature for a gymnasium, because persons do not realize its importance, and for this reason the endowment that your school is to receive should certainly be for that purpose. Dr. Nalsmith has carefully prepared a plan for a gymnasium that could be built for that amount. It will be 150x76 feet, three stories, and is divided into two parts; one for the girls and the other for the boys. In the basement is the football headquarters, a base ball cage, two swimming pools and bathes, etc. On the next floor are the two gymnasium rooms 75x75 feet fitted with all the appliances for physical development. In the boys' department is a boxing cage with a wrestling cage, both padded, so that no injury can result from the sport. The top floor is one large room which is to be used for basketball, hand ball, indoor base ball or any other game that requires considerable space. It is certainly so be hoped that K. U. can soon offer such a building to her students.
Sour grapes again! Just about the time everybody is through commenting on the recent State Oratorical contest, the Ottawa Campus yawns as though in a nightmare and delivers itself of something like the following which the readers of the Weekly will doublebless remember: "The perseverance of the K. U. orator is highly commendable. Falling to win in the contest last year as the representative of the Winfield College he refused his degree at that institution
last spring in order that he might go to K. U. and enter the lists from there." The statement that Mr. Meyer "refused his degree at Winfield" is false. Mr. Meyer was compelled to leave Winfield before completing his work there because of failing health and came to K. U. last fall not for the purpose of entering the contest again but because this university offered advantages in his lines of work superior to those afforded by any other institution in the state. Indeed it was only after the most persistent solicitation of his friends here, that he consented to enter the local contest. He made no preparation whatever for the contest until a few days before the local. Now it seems to us that had Mr. Meyer been so eager to enter the contest as the editor of the Campus would have us believe, he would certainly have made more preparation. The Campus further suggests that our orator go to Ottawa in September and enter the contest from that school! Judging from the poor record of Ottawa's orators, that institution certainly needs the services of someone who knows something about oratory. If our representative's fine efforts at Emporia which won the second prize and elicited such glowing comments from the judges, hearers and press; if that "effort" was a "failure," as the Campus puts it, then that of Ottawa's orator was surely a disgrace.

The Sigma Nu party at Pythian Hals last night was one of the very prettiest of the season, and being the first one to take place since the Lenten season has passed, it was so much the more enjoyable. The hall was very beautifully decorated with flowers and the light of many electric lights was reflected, from mirrors, that, placed along the sides of the wall, made a beautiful scene. In each corner of the hall there was a bank of flowers and behind these, in the southeast corner. Zeller's orchestra discoursed in their imitative style, spiritized music. Over the windows were draped the black, gold and white of the fraternity and several electric fans in different parts of the hall tempered the warmth of the evening. The programs were white folders with the fraternity pin in gold on the front. Around this pin a wreath in black completed the color scheme in these cards. There were some sixty couples present.

MISSOURHOW TO PLAY
THE NATIONAL
GAME
A WEEK OF BASE BALL GAMES.
Within the Past Week the 'Varity Nine e
Has Matt the Blues Twice, the Indians Onca, and Todav
the Tigers.
This afternoon at 3 o'clock the great base ball game of the season occurs on McCook field. It is the struggle between the 'Varsity and her old rival, the Tigers. Last year the Tigers showed the 'Varsity twice but today the Varsity will show the Tigers. In fact the 'Varsity nine expects to beat the old spots off the Tigers and roll them around until even their own den will not know them.
It was only a week ago that the 'Varsity trio defeated the trio from the Missouri college in debate, it has been only half-a-year ago that the 'Varsity defeated the fastest football team that Missouri has ever had, today the 'Varsity nine expects to defeat the best base ball team that Missouri has ever had.
Their is also another feature of the game today. It is a very expensive game and must have good support. There ought to be 1,152 students on the ground today and they ought to bring their loud, lusty voices and a big sack full of ginger.
The contest will be a great one. It'll make the 'Varsity aggregation sweat all the stripes off their pretty stockings, and make them get their nice new trousers all dusty and dirty but they are not caring for expenses. They are going to win the game if it takes the last rag.
The 'Varsity nine has been very busy this week. On Friday occurred the second game with the Indians. It was a good, fast game and the boys did very creditable work. Maltby made' his first appearance as pitcher, before the home grand stand and he won a place in the fan's warm hearts. Maltby has a head that is worth a whole lot in a base ball games and he has a little old slow ball that worried the Indians, and then he has another variety that travels faster.
The game was quite close and belonged to anybody until the 'Varsity clinched it in the eighth and ninth innings.
Curry stood on the third base at the Indian game and received a good deal of applause from the bleachers. He moves around a good deal like a man that can play ball. The old timers, Housh, Poorman, Parent, Moore, Tucker, Barnett and Hall showed up well.
The 'Varsity played a game with the Blues in Kansas City Saturday but as the sporting editor of this sheet did not see the game it can not be given only on bear say. The College menran around the diamond four times and the professionals trotted around about twenty-five times, then got tired and did not trot around any more, much to the edification of the college men. Of course the 'Varsity nine played fast ball but being only nine in number and being in the presence of these stalwart professionals and a vast concourse of unfriendly spectators, they did not show up as well as they might have done the conditions been more favorable. It makes a man a little shaky to play before a big grand stand and the college men had not had so much experience as their opponents. Some one said that the 'Varsity nine made a balloon ascension as a whole lot came down in small parachutes at various stages of of the game, and in various places. They are all at home now. The papers spoke highly of our boys' playing, especially of the work of Poorman, Moore and Tucker. The other Blue game was just a little different. The game was on the home ground and the 'Varsity nine felt happier The Blues ran in ten long marks the first three innings, and then they did not run in any more. After that they ran up against our Mr. Morgan, who has beer working out for the box a good deal this spring, but who has not yet been entrusted to the responsible position of pitcher Mr. Morgan was quite a surprise to the Blues and the whole bunch of base ball fans. Of course the professionals perhaps, could have hit him harder than they did, but he showed phenomena form. After Dannie Dant went out of the box the Blues used Sparger and the spectators said that Morgan was just about as good as the other man. Morgan has speed, variety and control, all charateristic of a pitcher.
Well, the Blues were working hard to shut the 'Varsity out but in the fourth, when the bases were full the new man got hit and let a man in. A safe and an error gave the 'Varsity two more runs, and then neither side ran any more. Of course the 'Varsity did not expect to
