LAWRENCE, KAN., JAN. 27, 1899.
The next Weekly election will be
striely a featherly affair.
Just two, is the number of candidates who will enter the local oratorical contest.
There was only one way to settle the difficulty which arose over the WEEKLY election last Friday, and that one was adopted. There will be a new election January 30th.
Those who have made arrangements for the local oratorical contest have offered the greatest of inducements to the students and faculty to attend it. No admission fee will be charged.
It has been asserted that creature receives no encouragement at Kansas University. Let everyone attend "the local contest next Friday night, and remove any such ideas that may be entertained.
There is a young man in the University who is known to the girls as "hoot mon, hoot."
February 1 is the date of the oratorical contest. Don't forget it.
It is said that the Seniors will wear their caps and gowns to the next convocation.
The Westinghouse Air Brake company pressured to the University a complete Westinghouse air brake for a locomotive and one car, and the Witte Gas Engine Company is the donor of a four horse power gas engine. Both machines will be placed in the Fowler hall testing laboratory, and will be very valuable for testing purposes. The gifts are highly appreciated by the professors and students of the engineering department.
The plan of having a general manage over all Athletic events, which was advanced by the members of council and for which they made provision in the new constitution which they have submitted to the Athletic association, is a good one. There has hereafter been no connection between any of these Athletic events, but with a general manager who shall bind all these features together, all branches of Athletics will tend to have an equal growth.
The day of prayer for colleges has been changed from the last Thursday in January to the second Sunday in February. All the colleges in the World's Student Federation will observe this day, except the colleges in Australia, which are then in their midsummer vacation. Churches, which a number of students attend, will usually unite in the observance of this day. Special meetings of the students should also be held, and every effort put forth by the Association to secure the attendance of every man at the men's meetings. But above all it should be a day of prayer.—Kansas State Notes
First of the Series.
The first of a series of eight games of basket ball, will be played at the rink this evening. The opposing sides will be teams chosen from the faculty and the Junior class. The contest promises to be an interesting one and it is asserted will be free from roughness. An admission fee of 25 cents will be charged.

"The man who waits for something to turn up, usually finds it when he steps on a barrel hoop," is an old but truthful saying.
