Entered at the Lawrence Postoffice as second class mail master.
We thank Baker for her interest in our successes in the Missouri-Kansas debate and are pleased to know that we have her good will and support in our contests with those of other states.
Baker is "whooping it up" for base ball this spring and promises to have a very fast team. We also think that we have some "world beaters" and the eague ought to give some fine exhibitions of base ball.
Why don't the Seniors stand together? When the class decides to go to chapel arrayed in caps and gowns, why do so many "flunk out?" The only way to make the custom a success is for each and every Senior to wear his cap and gown whenever the class so decides.
What is the band doing? We have heard nothing of it lately. There will be some big base ball games here very soon and the band should rally to the support of our team. There will be the debate with Nebraska, shortly and the band can also render us good service then. The band is a great promoter of enthusiasm and can do much for K. U. in the next eight weeks.
There are scores of students on the hill who have never visited the Fowler shops and do not know how well the building is equipped. Everyone show know something of the best equipped buildings in the west. It is worth any nee's time to look through the building if for no other purpose than to see the machinery. The Engineering students are always good to show their friends through the building.
We are gratified to know that our debaters demonstrated their superiority over those representing the Missouri State University; and that we have not only won laurels from Missouri on the gridiron and diamond but have also been victorious in debate with Nebraska and we cannot leave anything undone that will strengthen us in the coming contest.
We must "show" Nebraska as well as Missouri.
All candidates for the track team should take advantage of the good weather and be out practicing every evening; it is only a short time until the team will be picked to go to Nebraska and there is but one way of getting a winning team, that is by hard regular practice. Here is an opportunity of scoring a victory and don't use it lose it by neglect of thorough preparation.
The prospects for a permanent winning base ball team were never better at K U. than this year. Notwithstanding the fact that the weather has been so bad so far this spring, the men under the direction of Captain Housh are rounding into excellent shape. In all probabilities the only position that is vacant is first. Parent, Griggs and Burnett will undoubtedly play the out-field. The next game of the season will be with the Haskell Indians Saturday, April 15, on McCook field.

Greek Symposium.
Friday Prof. Wilcox addressed the Greek students on "Early Christian Architecture." The lecture reviewed the Roman arch and column, which were treated last week, and gave much information about the Christian basilicas
The Romans often used the arch where it was not needed to support any weight. In this way they perced walls with many plain openings Not satisfied, however, with this effect they did not hesitate to add numerous Greek decorations.
The arch of Titus shows a second story or attic, which is always low. The earlier triumphal arches did not have this feature but the Romans soon found it was an improvement. The arch of Constantine has three openings, two for pedestrians and one for vehicles. The statues on this arch were appropriated by the builders from an arch of Trajan. The entrance to the manufacturer's building at the world's fair was a splendid example of the Roman triumphal arch.
Roman buildings of two or more stories generally had each story made in a different style of architecture. The Collium was four stories in height, and the first story is Doric, the second Ionic and the third Corinthian. The fourth story to follow out the scheme should have been composite, but for some reason it is not being fitted out with only pilasters. The Pantheon is a round building roofed on the Christians used the Roman basilicas which had originally been borrowed from the Greeks. These buildings were divided by rows of columns into the naive and aisles. They were two stories high seemingly in order to seperate the men from the women as the women only were allowed to use the upper floor or gallery.
In Rome, columns were much used to support statues as in the column of Trajan. This is of the Doric order, the shaft is eighty feet high, twelve feet in diameter, and the column can be ascended. The principle of the structure is repeated in the Washington monument at Baltimore.
The division of buildings into aisles by columns is a feature that connects Roman architecture with the early Christian. For churches comes to be a Latin area. The basilicas were rectangular in form and covered by a wooden roof which is a Greek idea. Every form of column is used. Light is supplied by openings above the columns and this part of the stru cture is called the "Clen story." The bill tower was not connected with the church but stands out alone. On the outside the basilicas were bare and mean but inside they were richly decorated. Some of the finest mosaics known were made on their walls.
In the church of St. Pauls, a structure of the fourth century, the two rows of columns have increased to four. Later the cross section separating the transept from the naive is lengthened and the apse built farther back, until the form of the church the vault principle. So much cement was used in its construction that it is really one solid mass It is faced with a Greek portico. By this, principle is sacrificed to love of decoration, for the round building gives curved lines, while the portico gives straight. The only light that comes into the building is from a great opening or eye at the top.

Last Saturday evening the Kansas Alph chapter of Pi Beta Phl celebrated the thirty-second anniversary of the founding of the fraternity. The Roberts home on south Massachusetts streets was the scene of this most enjoyable gathering. The principal feature of the evening was the initiation of Misses Bunker, Simmons and Thatcher. The ceremony took place in the ball room in the third story, of the house and was very impressive. The room was decorated with wine and blue burning, the fraternity colors. The initiation was followed by a very amusing force "The Best Laid Plans", in which the Misses Hill, Baker, Gardner, Smith, Zillah Smith, Leslie, Bangs and Manley took part. After the farce an elaborate "Cooky-shine" was served in the dining-room. After this there was a talk by Miss Hannah Oliver on "Fraternity Extension" and Miss Helen Sutliff spoke of "Fraternity -En thusiasm." She also read letters from Mrs. Frances Moon Haines and Mrs. Martha Snow Brown. Miss Adelia Humphrey read a very clever poem on "Our Anniversary." The out of town members who were here for the occasion were: Misses Adelia Humphrey and Adda Wilson from Kansas City; Lydia Patterson, Birdena Crandell an 1 Mary Frost from Topeka; Mrs. Nell Dow Burden from Joliet, Ill.; Miss Oda Closson from Lincoln, Neb.; Miss Anna Shire from Leaven worth; Miss Charlotte Cutter from Vinland; Mrs. Lyle Hynes Piner from La Porte, Ind.; Mrs. Lou Miles Kinzse from Cincinnati, O; and Miss Edith Thatcher of Philadelphia.

Pythian hall. Much time and labor had been spent on the decorations, and as a result the hall looked especially beautiful. Along the north wall cosy corners were arranged under arches wound with blue and gold, the fraternity colors. The colors also ran from the top of these arches to the ceifing, forming a canopy. American flags were draped on each side of the entrance door and across the balcony was wound the blue and gold draped with yellow electric lights. At the east end of the hall was a long strip of blue bunting on which were the Greek letters Sigma Chi outlined in yellow shaded electric lights. The chandelliers were draped with the bunting caught up with lights. From behind a bank of daisies and palms floated the excellent music of Zeiler's orchestra. Punch was served during the evening from a booth at the oast end of the hall and in the balcony was served coffee and sand-wiches. The guests were received by Medesams J. D., Bowersock, A. Henley, W.
