K. U. VS. MISSOURI.
PRELIMINARIES BELD LAST FRIDAY
NIGHT AND TOLAN, RICE AND
BOTTS CHOSEN TO REP-
RESENT K. U. ON
APRIL 13.
MUCH ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED-
All Three of the Successful Orators Are Members of the Law School.
At the preliminary debate, held Friday,
March 10, Messrs Trolan, Botts and Rice
were chosen to represent Kansas in the
debate against Missouri.
The contest was a good one and Kansas will be well represented. The three gen men chosen have all had experience in debating in various literary societies.
The first speaker, Mr. Flint is a new man. He had a good speech but was lacking in enthusiasm. He will improve with practice.
Mr. Hose held the attention of his audience with his oratoral delivery. He opposes the colonial policy in general, as it would violate the Monroe doctrine. Our country cannot maintain slavery, he said, in one port and full citizenship in another. Mr. Hose was chosen a substitute in case either of the regular debaters should be unable to continue.
Mr. Curry showed great reading on the subject and bad the question well in hand.
Mr. Tolan is peraps the best speaker.
He speaks with energy and enthusiasm.
He possesses true oratorial ability. Combined with this was an excellent speech.
Mr Tolan appeared well on the program.
Mr Rice spoke ur on the constitutionality of the retention and proved by citation from the supreme court that the United State possesses the right to retain the islands. He had an excellent speech and good logic.
Mr Parks spoke upon the commercial advantages of rentention. He showed evidences of careful preparation.
Mr. Livers spoke with ease, with experience and improvement in position, he will make a good speaker.
Mr. Halcomb spoke upon the cost of governing the islands by soldiers.
Mr. Botts compared the English colonial policy with that of America and after carefully weighing the question decided that America should do as England has done, in order to maintain her supremacy in the Pacific. Mr. Botts is an energetic, fiery speaker and can hold the attention of his audience.
Miss Walton furnished music for the occasion.
It is worthy of notice that all three of the speakers are law students. A number of laws were cut to encourage their fellow classmates by their presence and voices.
The Junior and Senior mechanical engineers will visit Leavenworth about the middle of next month. They will study manufacturing and power plants but will eive e. pecial attention to foundry work.
ENGINFERING DEPARTMENT NOTES.
The Armour Packing company of Kansas City recently bought two 400 horse power generators of the Warren Manufacturing company of Cincinnati. The machines were designed by Prof.Carr who was with the Warren company until he became an instructor in our engineering school. The Armour company accepted Prof Carr's design's after searching the whole market.
Many of the Junior mechanical engineers have positions for the summer in their line of work. Prof. Palmer is trying to place the boys in such work because of the training they get in the practical side of their work.
The Sigma Xi will meet at [Prof. Bailey's home next Monday evening. Prof. McMeans will be initiated during the evening, and possibly the names of other candidates will be considered.
Atchison Globe: "The Mandolin Club of the State Normal school at Emporia has been engaged to play at a hotel in Manitou all summer. There are other musical clubs which the people will be equally glad to see get out of the state."

BASE BALL ENTHUSIASM.
INCREASES DESPITE THE COLD WEATHER, THE SNOW AND THE LACK OF INDOOR QUARTERS.
THE TICKETS ARE SELLING
And the schedule Is Being Rapidly Completed. There is a Possible Game With the Indians Next Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday the men were out in force on McCook field. There was a lot of them and a lot of mighty fast material. Everybody acknowledges that the 'Varsity will have a faster team than ever before. Among the twirlers are Hall Alpinb and Malbaty. They are all showing up well. Wade Moore, the favorite of last year's team will again do the work behind the bat. This assures a good battery, which is a great part of the eleven Housh the old second baseman, is working out again; as is Poorman at short.
Frebert and Tucker are trying for first; both are old men and either will fill the place well. Captain Farent will play third unless one one beats him out.
Barnett, Curry, Wolfe, Whitelaw, Hassleman, McKenna, McKeen, Reid and Owens are trying for the out garden Owens has never worked out here, but the fellows say he has a field in his vest pocket.
Gear was to have come down Thursday but there was too much snow and cold wind. Manager Nichols expects to have the coach once or twice a week during the early part of the season.
The Missouri and the Nebraska games are creating a great deal of interest. Nebraska has a good gymnasium and has been working out for about six weeks as has also Missouri, but the 'Varsity eleven expects to win on account of its superior material and the aid of Coach Gear.
There has been a good sale of base ball tickets but it has not been as large as it should have been. The section needs ready cash. The schedule has been perfected, and at least ten good games are offered for $1.50. The tickets will be on sale until the beginning of the season. Why does not every one buy right away and help the thing along?
By all odds the most puerile and unreasonable complaint that one hears from literary workers is that the more obvious and inviting themes have all been worked threadbare and that one in search of originality must go to the improbable and bigrear. This is far from being absolutely true of any literatures; in this country the complaint is, on the face of it, absurd,
An Undeveloped Field for Literature.
Probably no profession but that of the clergyman has been treated in American fiction with any degree of adequacy. The physician's has not; the newspaperman's has not.
But of all the professions, the richest in unworked literary material is probably that of the law. One could easily over estimate the debt which the whole great scheme of the Comedie Humaine owes to the brief period of his early life, which Honore de Balzac spent in the office of a notary. It was there that he got at the very heart of modern life. There he learned the meaning of money, not in its vulgar sense, but as a great moving and working factor and force in human society. That period was brief, but then and there was laid the foundation upon which the whole fabric of the comedi was raised stone by stone. It is between the lives of the lawyer's brief that much of the real romance of the future will be found. A well known sociological writer with whom we recently discussed the subject, suggested that in the history of the New York bar there was enough material to furnish a different plot to every man and woman who aspire to write a novel.

The deaconess circle met last Monday evening in room 14.
Mr. Yale is doing some work on his Senior thesis that deserves notice. He is trying to derive a formula to use in designing ball bearings for machinery. There is no satisfactory formula now in use, and no uniformity of design. Each individual designer uses his own judgment and arrives at a result mostly from experiment. Mr. Yale is carrying on a series of experiments to demonstrate the correct formula to use. He has designed and constructed a special piece of apparatus for use in his experiments.
