THE FACULTY-
SOPHOMORE GAME.
WAS QUITE A GOOD EXHIBITION OF BACKET-BALL AND WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING AND AMUSING.
THE FIRST DRAW
GAME OF THE YEAR
At the Close of the First Half the Score
Was 2 to 2; at the Clos of Second
Half 6 to 6. In Playing off the
Tie the Sophomores
Won 8 to 6.
The little group of spectators at the rink Saturday evening were highly pleased with the game and felt that they had received the worth of their money. The game was not so scientific nor was the playing so brilliant as the Kansas City and Topeka games, yet it was a good game and demanded greater patronage than it received. The amusing part of the game was to see our faculty taking headers and turning somersaults in their efforts to secure the ball. The faculty have made great strides in the mastery of the game since their last public performance, and but for lack of endurance would certainly dive defeated the sophomores. They fought courageously to maintain their supremacy but lost the game on playing off the tie.
The sophomore team have played a good game during the entire season and showed skill and team work such as they have not displayed before.
GAME IN DETAIL.
At 8:20 the teams lined up, Whitney and Clark centers. Umpire Emley tossed up the ball and the struggle was on. The teams were most evenly matched. For fifteen minutes the players surged back and forth on the field not more than a half dozen goals being attempted. It seemed almost impossible for either side to advance the ball to the goal and maintain its defense long enough to attempt goal without interference. Finally Clark and Hogg sprung a new play on the Sophomores and advanced the ball to the goal Clark being successful in throwing the first goal of the evening. Both teams took a moment to gain atmosphere and play being resumed the Sophomores took a little spurt and F. Owens landed the ball in the Sophomore goal. In the remaining minute neither side scored.
SECOND HALF.
The Faculty rushed the ball down the field in snappy style and Hogg threw a goal. After two minutes of play the Sophomores reciprocated. In the excitement of the game H. Owens fouled twice, Hogg throwing both goals successfully, placing the Faculty two points in the lead. In the early part of the game the pretty girls in the gallery uttered sympathetic sighs when Hogg failed to throw goal and this sighing was taken up now by all the spectators when either side failed. The game was reaching the exciting point. The Sophomores landed the ball for the third time, thus tearing the score. Only two minutes remained, It was a free for all scramble, but neither side scored. In playing off the tie, it was decided that the first side to score should be declared winner. Whitney and then Owens carried the ball to the goal by some play copyrighted by the sophomores and H. Owens threw the decisive goal.
The following was the line-up.
Faculty, Sophomores
F—McClung, F—F. Owens,
T—Hogg, T—Hall,
C—Clark, C—Whitney.
B—Naismith, B—H. Owens,
B—Hopkins, B—Bshipman.
The following was the line-up:

FINAL PRELIMINARY CONTEST.
John M. Steele has sent a very interesting curio to the Son's of Veterans. It is a gavel made from the mast of the "Reina Christina." They have placed it on exhibition at Rowland & Bender's book store. The gavel handle is made of polished cocoanut wood which takes a very handsome finish.
Representatives Chosen For the Kansas Missouri Debate
Ho me made candy at Mrs. Prentiss'.
The annual Kansas-Missouri debate will be held at Columbia, Missouri, April 3. The final preliminary for the selection of debaters to represent Kansas University was held on Saturday evening at Frazer Hall. E. H. Brady, Pearl Decker, and W. S. Hyatt were chosen.
A good sized audience was present to enjoy the contest when Professor Vickrey called the house to order. He stated that as the musicians had gone to Kansas City there would be no music. Speakers were limited to ten minutes, the first speaker having three minutes for closing. The question and its interpretations were read and the judges announced.
The question for debate was the same as that which will be used at Columbia. Resolved, that we should adopt the English colonial policy in the government of our recent acquisitions, Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
L. J. Lyons was the first speaker for the affirmative. He stated that the policy of England was to continually advance her colonies. The English system was explained in detail. The speaker showed a thorough understanding of his subject and presented much weighty argument.
Pearl Ducker next spoke for the negative. His plea was that we could not adopt the English system without violating the fundamental principles of our own government.
Mr. Decker's delivery, as it always is, was pleasing and forcible. He failed to hear the chairman call time, and after the audience ceased applauding, he coolly finished his debate.
Mr. Decker was followed by E. H. McMath for the affirmative who spoke particularly of our own colonial system being impractical. The speaker presented good thoughts and his voice was clear and strong. O. J. Lane next spoke for the negative.
Henry Meehan was the third speaker on the affirmative. He believed that we should adopt the English colonial system because it had been tested and found successful for years. Mr. Meehan's was one of the best speakers of the evening. His delivery was excellent, and his thoughts were fresh and new. J. M. Shepherd was the next speaker. Mr. Shepherd's speech showed hard ard thorough work.
Thomas Carr was the fourth speaker on the negative. He spoke of the colonial system as affected by the race question. He was followed by E. H. Brady for the negative. Mr. Brady's was one of the polished speeches of the evening. He was perfectly at his ease and had a very pleasing voice. His argument was logical and effective.
W. S. Hyatt, the last speaker, presented the affirmative. Mr. Hyatt probably had the strongest argument that was given. L. J. Lyons closed the debate by a three minutes' speech.
While the audience was waiting the judges' decision, there were repeated calls for Dricker and "Uncle Jimmy," but neither responded. The law school attended in a body and they were very enthusiastic. Seven of the contestants were law students and the representatives who were chosen are all from the Senior Law class.
Altogether the contest was a decided success. Every debater was well prepared and did himself credit. From nine debaters of so nearly equal merit it was difficult to select the best three,yet the judges' decision gave general satisfaction.
H. Heymann, dancing master, has opened a term of dancing lessons in Turner Hall. Class meets every Monday evening. Lesson from 8 to 9; dance from 9 to 11. Single lesson 50 cents; term of twelve lessons $5.00.
It is gratifying to see that interest in oratory and debate is increasing. The attendance at the contest was larger than last year. The number of candidates also speaks well for us. The University, if the student body will give its support, has a brilliant future in the field of debate. Few of us can attend the Kansas-Missouri contest, but let us show Messrs Decker, Hyatt, and Brady that they have our confidence and that we believe they are fully capable of winning the laurels for Kansas University.
NEW BUILDING
THE LEGISLATURE MAKES AN AP PROPRIATION FOR A NEW CHEMISTRY BUILDING AND FOR FOWLER SHOPS.
THE APPROPRIATION FOR RUNNING EXPENSES INCREASED.
The Amendment for a New Museum Failed to Pass, Causing Much Disappointment Among Those Who Value Our Large Collections.
The specified plans provide for a rather plain, but handsome building, three stories in height not including the basement and attic. The basement, which will be at first left unfinished will be used for store rooms, heating apparatus, etc. The first floor will have the senior and junior pharmacy laboratories; the laboratory for quantitative analysis; and numerous other small rooms for office purposes, research, etc. The second floor, which will be the main floor on account of its central position, will contain the main offices, a library, a microscopic laboratory and museum, a small lecture room, laboratories for organic chemistry and quantitative analysis, a main store room, connected by a lift with the basement store room, and what is an innovation in this University, a model drug store. The third floor will have at one end the main lecture room, and at the other end the freshman chemistry laboratory of the same dimensions as the lecture room, sixty feet by seventy feet. The attic will contain the photographic laboratories, the water tanks and the apparatus for distilled water. The above
Kansas University received from the late legislature the largest appropriation she has ever received, $330,000. Much disappointment was 'belt because the house did not see fit to accept the senate amendment, granting appropriations for a new Natural Museum building, but the amendment was very unfavorably received in the House committee, and could not have passed the house. If it had the governor would probably have vetoed it, as he even hesitated in signing the Chemistry building appropriation, thinking that the University was receiving more than its share. However the University should feel grateful for the liberal appropriations she did receive. Moreover it must not be forgotten that this legislature had to pay back the Lawrence merchants the money which they advanced on the new Fowler shops. This amount was $30,000. Of the total amount appropriated $240,000 is for running expenses for two years, $55,000 is for the new Chemical building, $5,000 is for insurance, and as before mentioned, $30,000 for the Fowler shops.
The location of the building has not yet been determined upon, but it will probably be placed on the edge of the ravine northwest of Snow ball and opposite Fowler shops. It is necessary for it to be built at the edge of the hill in order to provide for the lighting of the basement. In order to practice economy and have more money to erect a large building, the building material will probably be the same as that of the Fowler shops, being taken right out of the hill where the building is to stand.
The new Chemistry building was an absolute necessity. The old building necessity. The old building which was built in 1883, had become inadequate eight years ago, and during the intervening time the building has been greatly overcrowded. The department this year has had 475 students including the Freshman Chemistry classes, and it has been necessary, in organic and Freshman Chemistry for two students to use the same apparatus. The mining school which has been proposed would have been a practical impossibility with the present facilities for laboratory work. The appropriation was not as large as the department would have desired in order to complete their plans, but the building will be practically the same as would have been built with the larger appropriation asked for.
are the plans adopted by the departments and the regents will probably accept them. The location of the building and the material to be used are still matters of conjecture.
THE ETERNAL CITY
Prof, Burdick Take *His Audience* on a Trip Through Rome.
Preceding the lecture Prof. Penny rendered an organ solo, "Offertory to St. Cacilla."
One of the most interesting and enjoyable lectures of the entertainment course was given by Prof. Burdick Tuesday evening. He took for his subject, "The Eternal City, or Ancient and Modern Rome," and gave the audience the benefit of his own knowledge of Rome.
As Mr. Burdick stepped upon the platform he was greeted with much applause led by the Law students of whom there was a large number present. Prof. Burdick is a man of somewhit widely known ability as a lecturer, and those who heard him at the last convocation knew that a treat was in store for them.
After speaking of Rome as the beginning of the present civilization of the world, he commenced his description of that venerable city as he saw it a few years ago. His lecture was illustrated by the use of the screen pictures of which over a hundred were shown. He passed through the city entering from the north. He noted the capitol, the forum with its ancient ruins recently uncovered, its restoration and its glory in time of old, the Palatine Hill, the Colosseum and its gladiatorial combats, the Catacombs where our two million Christians are buried, modern Rome. St. Peter's Cathedral and the Vatican A number of colored views gave a most beautiful and pleasing effect to the eye and recalled the attention of those whose mind might be wondering from the lecture.
Professor Burdick closed his lecture with a brief ponoramic view of Rome, of the ravages of time the memories of power, tree days of victory and of Rome's influence upon the world yet to come.
ECONOMIC SEMINARY.
Monday, March 6. Prof. Blackmar opened the seminary with a short outline of the United States Industrial Commission. This new creation is intended to gather and disseminate information regarding all lines of industry in the United States. It seems to have been originated rather to satisfy a long filled want than a want long felt, as the objects of the Commission seem to be pretty thoroughly covered by the Agricultural and Labor department and the reports of the secretary of the treasury.
Miss Perdue completed her report on Percy Gardiner's criticism on American Universities which appeared in a recent number of the Nineteenth Century. The writer looks upon our Universities as running too much to science and coeducation. The "mypotic" vision of this English writer leads him to consider that the German Universities are most sought after by real students, and those of France and England next. He indeed looks with alarm upon the admission of women into American colleges, and considers the craze of women for education greatly to be deplored.
Ed. Copley reviewed Allen Ripley Foote's monographic discussion of the powers of municipalities. This writer insists upon publicity for the methods and results,—especially the financial—of municipal government. The early part of his paper is devoted considerably to the value of scientific education in municipal government.
At the next seminary Mr. Copley will finish his review and Mr. Benest will furnish a paper or review. Mr. Daum will follow the week after with a paper on divorce.
