LAWRENCE, KAN., MAY 13. 1899.
Our track team was unfortunate at Lincoln, but this should cause it to reducible efforts to make a good showing on Field day and thereby convince everybody that Kansas has as good a track team as any state in the west. Kansas has good track teams and this one will be another.
The Weekly election held Friday was not exciting but what was lacking in excite ment it made up in the excellent staff that was elected. Mr. Post and the present members of the board will be the strongest staff ever in charge of the Weekly and we can expect great things of them next year.
Long live the Kansas State University.
It is the only institution of learning in this whole country that has furnished in this war a brigadier general, a colonel, a lieutenant colonel, five captains, and several hundred private. Kansas University teaches pathology along with bugology and Greek roots. — Lawrence Journal.
All liberty-loving people will approve of President McKinley's action in appointing Col. Funston brigadier general of volunteers. This title has been won by his superior courage and bravery in the war with the insurgents. He is not only a capable commander, but his heroic deeds have startled the whole world. — University of Michigan Dally.
The University is proud of the successful trip that the base ball team made last week. The team had hard luck in the beginning of the Washburn game but it showed of what stuff it was made when in the face of great odds it settled down and by playing giltedge ball won the game in the tenth innning. The trip to Nebraska by way of Topeka, and Manhattan is a most fatiguing one; bestes playing four games in three days, the team is obliged to be up all Friday night to reach Lincoln Saturday morning. But not withstandings these difficulties the team played snappy scientific base ball and bested the Nebraskans at every point.
There should be another diamond marked off on McCook field in order to give the class and fraternity teams, a place to do some real practicing. The 'Varsity uses the present diamond every evening from 4 until 6 o'clock and these other teams have no place to practice and consequently their work is not nearly so efficient as it might be. The games between these teams are a large part of University base ball and everything should be done that will improve their playing. These teams are also the training school for 'Varsity players and if some systematic training could be had by these teams it would raise the status of base ball in the University.
Weakly Election.
The following WEEKLY staff was elected Friday: Frank Post, editor-in-chief; Frank Gray, secretary; W. G. Bennett, treasurer; members of the board, John Kane. Walter Meek, H. H. Tangeman, D. H. Wood, Virginia McCrylon, L. H. Humphrey, Geo. Barcus and Frank Marcey.
An attractive feature of the Tuesday service of the Y. W. C. A. was the triby by the Misses Kate, May and Lucy Riggs.
SNOW HALL
Prof. J.M. Steadman professor of Entomology in the University of Missouri visited Snow Hall and its Museum Tuesday.
About thirty five students and professors went out to Twin Mound for an outing and for collecting specimens, Friday morning.
Prof. Hunter says the Horticultural meeting at Ottawa was a great success. He had to answer many questions concerning the work done in Snow Hall.
Dr. Williston has been appointed a member of the State Board of Health. Everybody knows that the doctor is the right man in the right place.
Specimens of insects which were attacking drugs were sent to Dr. Sayre by a New York drug company. These were taken to Prof. Kahl who determined them as being Stodrepa Panica, one of the most destructive insects to drugs. The professors and department justly felt encouraged by the company's coming so far west for its information. This is only another evidence of the excellence of the work done in Snow hall.
The department of Biology will be strengthened next year by the addition of Dr. Matthews, a graduate of Harvard and Tufts Universities, who will be professor of Physiology. Several new courses will be introduced for the Medical school; some of these will be elective to art students. A physiological laboratory will be established as soon as space can be found. Another addition will be Miss Dr. Hyde, a graduate of Cornell University. Miss Hyde took her doctor's degree at Heidelburg, Germany. She will be assistant in zoology. Both the above come very highly recommended and will farther strengthen an already very strong faculty.
BIOLOGICAL CLUB
Prof. Wagner read a paper on American Fishes. The subject of fishes was taken up very easily. Even Aristotle wrote on the subject and classified them. North American fishes were studied as 1610 by an Englishman. A Frenchman named Raphanesk made a study of North American fishes and also a classification. Scientists endeavored for some time in vain to find the fishes classified by this Frenchman. Later it was discovered that Auderbon had prepared drawings of imaginary fishes, he gave these drawings to the Frenchman as real fishies living in the streams. From these drawings alone the Frenchman named and classified them. The only reliable work with a simple classification on North American fishes is the one that has appeared lately by Dr. Jordan of Leland Stanford. The work consists of four volumes, making 3136 pages. It includes the fishes of North and Middle America with the adjoining island. The work, as a whole, will prove indispensable to both students and scientists.
Mr, Sutton read a paper on "Tetrad Division in the Cyclops. This paper, while excellent, was technical, and was thus of less general interest.
Union Meeting of the Y. M. and Y.W.C.A.
The annual sermon will be preached by Dr. J. C. Miller of Emporia Sunday evening May 21st in Fraser hall All friends of the University are invited.
Something Proud to Be of

A Plea for Neatness
Quite the most untidy, to say nothing of unofficial, looking productions to be seen at Kansas University (but which, by the way, it is to be hoped never will be seen except by those in authority) are the nominations for members for the editorial staff of the Weekly. They are almost worthy of a place in the museum, to be gazed upon by future generations as the very curious documents prepared by their forefathers on the occasion of a college paper election, this one written on the back of a hand bill, announcing a base ball game for the following Saturday; that one on a soiled and poverty stricken bit of paper, in the most illegible of hands, and so on; the best of them quite unworthy of a college man or woman.
The friends of a candidate, when seeking public favor for him, are to put his case in the light most favorable to the granting of that favor; that is, ordinarily. But just here is found the exception which tests the rule and we are utterly at a loss to find an excuse for the offenders; we are sure it isn't incapacity (some of them are seniors) or ignorance of propriety (some of them are Juniors); and even Sophomores and Freshmen are to be found on the list of guilty ones. The law does not make punishable by fine or otherwise, the sin of untidiness in the performance of an official act or the preparation of a petition; hence, there is left nothing but exhortation, pure and simple—so let him who runs, read and read and profit, if need be, by what should have been a curtain lecture.

A Glee Club.
Kansas University is to have a Glee club again. Steps have been taken to organize one, in order to give a commencement concert this year. Annual Glee club concerts at commencement time are among the most notable features of eastern colleges. The boys say that there is an unusually large amount of good material this year and a club of twelve singers and ten mandolin and guitar players, is now at work. Announcements of the nature of the program and the special features will be given in the WEEKLY later. The concert is to be on May 23. This concert should receive liberal patronage from the University, both because it is a University event and because the boys expects to use the proceeds in canceling a debt contract by the last year's Glee club. Any such honorable purposes should get the support of all students and the faculty.
