LAWRENCE, KAN., MARCH. 4, 1899.
Governor Stanley has done a very commendable act in vetoting the pharmacy bill; such bills passed by special legislation is a great detriment to persons who try to prepare themselves at some pharmacy school.
We have heard many students remark this week that they were sorry that they were not at the contest. There is no use of mourning, but let it be a lesson to us that in the future we will show our patriotism for K. U., by attending the state contest in a body exceeding that of any other school.
Henceforth the indoor meet has not had proper recognition accorded to it as a branch of our athletics. But through the efforts of Dr. Naismith the meet of '99 will be one of the most important athletic events of the year. There will probably be some insignia to award the winners and in every way the meet will be made as attractive and beneficial as is possible. Everyone who can should take part in it.
At the first call for volunteers there went out of this institution of learning about forty students to battle for suffering humanity and to uphold the honor of our nation. They went without regret, for their country had called them. They went, ready and willing to give up their lives if need be. One of these, Lieutenant Alford, was shot in battle. Fortunately he has thus far been the only one to be killed and let us trust that he may be the only one. The University is proud of her representatives in the army and when they return to us, if they do so, let us show in some manner our high regard and appreciation of our bravery.
Every student in the University should look into particulars of the Wm J. Bryan prize fund. Mr. Bryan has generously made a handsome appropriation, the yearly interest of which is to be given to the student presenting the best thesis on some one principle of our government. This year the general subject is "The Policy of the United States With Regard to Expansion and Foreign Relations." The subject may be narrowed and treated as the student desires. Every one on the hill is eligible to the contest; the prize this year will be about $12. The training is valuable, and the prize is worth looking after, so let's do something. The full particulars can be found in the case under the clock.
Hon. W. A White who acted as a judge on delivery in the late oratorical contest gave Northport of Salina 100 and graded the others below 80. Mr. White stated the next day in the Gazette that Northport was a good man and was a good card for McKinley and that he spoke part of the "Poor Mau's Burden" For these reasons Mr. White "landed." his favorite. There has been a little kick from the defeated schools and it is no more than just. Mr. White was supposed to grade on delivery and delivery only. On the other hand he chose his man and on account of the poor system of grading was able to "land" him. Every judge has the privilege of grading as he chooses but it gives much better
satisfaction if he grades on the basis of justice to all contestants.
The promotion of officers following the death of Captain Elliott has given Guy Simpson the rank of second lieutenant.
Mr Simpson, a prominent member of the senior law class last year, was mustered into Company H as first sergeant. The sterling qualities which made him a favorite on the gridiron, ranked him with the best students, and secured the friendship of all his college associates are making him an ideal soldier.
The State Oratorical Association has amended its constitution so that in the future only the heads of English departments, in colleges and universities outside of the state can be judges of thought and composition. The amendment was secured largely through the efforts of Mr. Rose. This will place the decision of the judges upon a true and definite basis. There has always been much dissatisfaction on the decision of these judges and a feeling among the contestants that their grades depended more on the judges personal opinion than the real merit of the work. This is now eliminated and only those can be judges who have made this work a specialty and will grade orations solely on their merits.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Dr. Burdick gave an inspiring talk to the association last Sunday afternoon. His theme was "Jesus Christ the Only Example of a Successful Life." He based his talk on the words of Jesus, "I am come that ye might have life and that ye might have it more abundantly Alter speaking of several notable failu res of well known men, he spoke with gr e charm of Chrit's successful life, He emphasized strongly the importance of a young man's choosing Christ as his model. His address throughout was wide-awake and earnest full of beauty and common seas. At the end of the meeting a male quartette composed of Messrs. Copley, Thatcher, Hall and Stafford, sang a beautiful selection. Notwithstanding the mud, snow and ice the prayer meeting room was crowded.
Mir. Lyons of the Law School presided over the meeting.

The new wood room is a very popular department, judging from the number of students that have used it since it was put in operation about a week ago. The machinery in this room, while not extensive, is completed as far as the purposes for which it is to be used are concerned. The large pattern lathe is from the factory of the Hay Company, Cincinnati, the leading makers of wood working machinery in the United States. It is furnished with an attachment for turning up to six feet in diameter. The "jig" saw is the finest machine of its kind in this part of the country. Besides these machines there is a combination saw, planer, and boring machine, a Davis and Egan wood lathe and a Perkins shaver.
