THE DATE SET FOR LOCAL ORATORICAL CONTEST IS FEBRUARY 1.
There Will Be but Two Contestants—S
G. Elliott and C. E. Ross—The
Morts of the Men-No Adm-
mission to Be Charged
at Contest
The time draws near for the contest which is to decide who shall have the honor of representing the University of Kansas in the state oratorical context to be held at Ottawa in February. The contest has been postponed from January 27 to Wednesday, February 1. It will be held in University hall and owing to the reorganization of the oratorical association and the fact that the Chancellor so kindly furnishes the ball free of charge, the association decided to hold a contest without charging any admission.
What this management wants is a crowd and from the interest manifested lately, there doubtless will be a good one.
We are unable at the present writing to give the program in full but aside from music by the University band and a pipe organ selection by Professor Penny there will be both instrumental and vocal selections by prominent members of the Music school.
There will be two contestants, both of whom have excellent orations and have been doing hard work on delivery. The contestants will be C. E. Rose and Sherman G. Elliott. Owing to the fact that all the markings in thought and composition are not yet in, we refrain from giving the subjects of the orations, suffice it to say the orations are up to date and in this respect will excel most college orations. As for the contestants they are both too well known to need any comment. Both are men of ability and well advanced in their college course.
Mr. Rose is a member of the class of '99 and in this respect has a year's advantage of his opponent, while on the other hand Mr. Elliott] has had more experience on this style. He is said to much of the fire and elencque of his brother, Philip S. Elliott, Kansas University's veteran orator, who bore away the laurels for the University in last year's contest.
Remember the date and let every one who is interested in this line of work be present.
ECHOOL OF ENGINEERING
A complete Westinghouse air brake equipment for a locomotive and one car has been donated to the testing laboratory by the Westinghouse Air Brake Company of Futsburg, Pa., and is now placed in the new laboratory in Fowler shops. This equipment will serve the double purpose of giving the students in mechanical engineering instruction and experience in the management of air brakes, and of furnishing a supply of compressed air for numerous laboratory experiments.
A gas engine of four horse power has also been presented to this laboratory. It is the gift of the Witte Gas Engine Co., of Kansas City. It is to be arranged for use with either gas or gasoline, and will be provided with the company's latest improvements. It will be used entirely for testing purposes, serving to give the students experience in running and testing such engines. It is a most valuable addition to the laboratory and the offer on the part of the Witte Engine Co. is much appreciated.
The machinery and appliances for testing the materials of engineering have been moved from the old quarters in the small room near the boiler house to the new tessing laboratory in the Powler shops. A new machine for torsion tests has been ordered and will be installed in about three weeks, and a machine for the transverse testing of timbers, designed especially for the laboratory by Prof. W. K. Palmer who has charge of the instruction in this course, is being built. When these additions to the equipment are ready the department will be much better prepared for work than ever before.

Wisconsin has three collegiate literary societies, whose membership limit is each about sixity. Two debates are given at each weekly session and the societies exist mainly or the purpose of producing debaters. The Freshmen members meet in a debate called the " blow out" ; the next step is the " semi-public" debate and the highest honor is to be chosen a representative of one of the societies for the annual " Joint Debate," a contest in which the society losing the previous year does not take part. The scheme is the result of a gradual evolution and that it is a good one is shown by the way in which Wisconsin debaters carry off the honors when they meet their neighbors.
Two editorials which appeared a short time ago in the Chicago Weekly, criticizing a faculty order, aroused the ire of Press. Harper, and he threatened to stop the publication of the paper. The author of the offending articles resigned, but the students unanimously support the paper.
