LAWRENCE, KAN., MAY 6, 1899
The interclass games are starting off well. Those already played have been very interesting and entertaining, and merit better advertisement. The managers should not neglect this important part of their duties.
The Freshmen should be commended for their spirit in putting up and success fully defending a May pole. Such incidents in college life are necessary if we would have a loyal enthusiastic student body. It creates a common interest and unifies a class; and gives it a pride and enthusiasm that nothing else can do. Kansas University needs more class spirit for we must have class spirit if we would have University spirit. The May pole scrimmage this year was a true success, Everybody enjoyed it, professors and students alike.
The interstate debate committee met last Wednesday and made the final arrangements for the Kansas-Nebraska debate, which will be held May 12. It has been arranged to have good music and everything that will add to the success of the debate. It was found necessary to charge 29 cents admission in order to defray the expenses of the judges. But let no student stay away from the debate on that account or use that as an excuse for not being present. It is the duty of every student to attend the debate we will meet Nebraska in a game of base ball on McCook held the next day and we must show her that we cannot defeat her in a debate but that we take as great an interest in doing so in winning the ball game.
We spoke in last week's issue about the support the Baker students gave their team, even when it had gone down in sure defeat. If there had been only a little of this support infused into the K. U. students last Saturday, Kansas might now be wearing at her belt the scalps of the Missourians. There was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm when M. U. had taken a heavy lead at the beginning, the "rooters" for K. U. became "knockers," and this too, when Kansas was putting up a giltedged game. Our nine was forced not only to play an up-hill game, but also to receive a chilly reception from the grand stand and bleachers, and it was only in the last few innings when the team had, unsupported, nearly reached the top of the hill and were closing in on their opponents that the cheering began. Nebraska, Washburn and perhaps other teams will be here soon, and when they do come let us put some genuine support behind our men, not only during the last inning, but throughout the game, from the time the boys appear upon the diamond for preliminary practice to the last "out" is made.
BIOLOGICAL CLUB
The Biological Club met at the usual time and place last Tuesday.
Dr. Williston announced the plans for the picnic and collecting tour that is to take place on May 12 and 13.
President Stevens then appointed Prof. Hunter and Mr. Majors a committee on transportation, and Prof. McClung and Miss Cory a committee on edibles.
The club will start at 8 a. m.
riday, May 12, and go by wagon
to Twin Mounds where it will camp until 2 o'clock Saturday collecting specimens, and then return.
Mr. Majors read a paper on "The Importation of Vedalia." Some years ago in California a small insect called the White Scale did much injury to fruit trees especially orange and lemon trees. The people tried in many ways to free the trees from this pest, but all proved ineffectual and after some study and research it was discovered that the White Scale had been imported from Australia, consequently a special agent was sent thither to find whether there was not some parasite in that country which kept the White Scale within bounds. This agent discovered that the Vedalia or Lady Bug checked the White Scale in Australia and he brought some of these to America, and within two years the Vedalia had practically cleared the American orchards of the White Scale insects. Mr. Majors described these insects in detail and showed a number of specimens of both the Vedalia and White Scale.
Miss Ida Case then read a paper on "Wing Development in Insects." The Comstock-Redebacher theory of wing development was stated and explained. The venation of the wing was explained and illustrated by drawings. The arrangement of veins in the wing, while differing in every species has certain constant characteristics common to all wings. The venation of the wing is largely the basis of classification of insects. The physiological use of the veins in the wings has not been determined.
Miss Lela Douthart next read a paper on "Insect Vision." Insects frequently have two kinds of eyes, simple, and compound the insect with the simple life usually has three of them which are arranged in a triangle on the front and upper part of the head, the insect with the compound eye has two of them which occupy the center of the upper front of the head. The structure of the simple eye and the compound was discussed and parts shown by drawings,
Some suppose the simple eyes are for use in the dark; but the distinctive use of the two kinds is not well known. The compound eyes give direct vision. An insect gets no sharply distinguished images; it sees the color but not the outline.
The question whether the insect is guided by sight or smell was discussed at some length At the close President Stephens expressed his satisfaction with the work of the students who had taken part in the program.
PHYSIC AND CHEMISTRY NOTES.
The school of Pharmacy went to Kansas City Friday by invitation of Park Davis & Co. They were entertained royally by them and all reported a fine time.
Next Saturday the students of the Engineering school will go to Topeka to visit the A.T. and S.F. shops and the Electric Light plant. They will be under the guardianness of Profs. Dunston Rice and Palmer
At the Chemical Seminary Thursday Mr Stafford talked on the double Halides.
The board of regents Thursday agreed on plans for the new Chemistry building to be erected the coming year. These plans were drawn from observations made by Capt. Haskell and Prof. Bailey on their eastern trip. The specifications for the new building will be drawn up at once, and it is expected that they will be ready in time that bids may be advertised for by June, so that the construction of the building can commence by July 1.
The Salvation Army, to help the poor of the city, gave last night and will continue to give till December 3. animated pictures of the famous "Passion Play," as represented at Ober-Ammergau. The cineograph, which throws the pictures on the canvass, is a new and excellent machine. Calcium light is used and twenty-eight different scenes in the life of Christ are thrown on the canvass. The figures work with the naturalness of life.
Half an hour of the entertainment is given to pictures of a fine patrol rushing through a city's streets, a scene at Dead Man's Curve, Fourteenth and Broadway, New York, and the bombardment of Santiago.—K. C, Star. At the Opera House May 11 and 12.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Rev. Mr. McQuisition addressed the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday. His subject was "The Spiritual Life and Its Results," and could not have been treated in ja better way to impress its importance on those present. The subject was very timely for in the planning for next year's needs and resources it is essential to remember that the basis of all successful Christian work must be the spiritual life.
Mr. St John representing the Student Volunteer movement was on the hill two day this week. His time was occupied with conferences with the Association Missionary committees and with persons especially interested in Missions. The movement which he represents has assumed large proportions in late years, and in their last conference at Cleveland, Ohio, there were over 2,000 students present.
Mr. Frank Jewett and Miss Anna Lees were the delegates of K. U. at the conference and many of us remember the reports they gave of the deeply moving and intensely enthusiastic character of the convention.
Barnett kept the Freshmen guessing and their hits well scattered. The lone run for the Freshmen was a liberal gift—a walk to first and and an error on second base allowing the ball to go into center field and the men coming in. Hall, for the Freshmen, at second.
The Freshmen Lose to the Sophs.
Hall, for the Freshmen, at second base was a stone wall.
The Freshmen Lose to the Sophs.
One of the prettiest games of the season occurred Tuesday afternoon when the Freshmen crossed bats with the Sophmores. Both sides did good playing. The Sophs were unable to solve Lucas' curves until the sixth inning, when they pounded out four runs, carrying off the victory to the tune of 26 to 1.
The warm enthusiastic support given to the Freshmen by their class mates when they were abaored, became a still frigidity when the Sophomores took the lead.
