LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 30, 1898
We knew that our two "Japs" were some few but it is news to us that they are so many as to count for a hundred.
Everyone of our one thousand students even our Japs or negroes, so despised by Mr. McIntyre of "Mizzoura" would have better manners than to misrepresent the character of their hosts.
The war department need not worry about those one hundred and twenty-five new leuanchanes. We have reason to believe that they could be filled from students right here in the University.
We are sure of one victory over Nebraska on Tuesday anyway, that of setting them the needed example of proper hospitality. If we win the ball game, too, we may count it a double victory, one in manners and one in athletics.
Mr. McIntyre of Missouri must have included the men who rooted for Haskell at the recent base ball game in his estimate of one hundred half bread Indians at this institution. As far as we know there are at present no native born red men in the school, though it would seem that there are a few proselytes.
The WEEKLY wishes to call attention to the prominence of the University of Kansas Alumni in the present war preparations. Of the officers now definitely selected four, Colonel Funston, Lieutenant Col. Ed Little, Major Metcalf and Captain Fred Buchan are former University students. Colonel Funston has already shown himself a fighter and the others will.
We were rather surprised to find the following in the M.S.U. Independent, over the signature of J. S. Melatyre:
"By inquiry I learned that Kansas uni- university has about one thousand students, distributed as follow: Two hundred girls, six hundred boys one hundred 'Japs' and half-breed Indians, and about one hundred negroes. This conglomeration may suit Kansas very well, but I hope the day will never come when the Missouri girl must sing with the descendant of Ham from the same hymn book in our own beloved chapel."
The Missouri debaters were treated while here with marked courtesy. Every endeavor was made that their stay might be pleasant. The night of the debate they were heartily applauded. Throughout their stay in Lawrence they were treated as the guests of the University.
Why one of their number should then be guilty of such a wilful misrepresentation of ourudent body we cannot imagine.
DEFEAT NEBRASKA.
There are many reasons why we should defeat Nebraska next Tuesday. In the first place we want to defeat every team we meet, whether in debating, in football, in base ball, or in track athletics.
It is however especially desirable that we should win next Tuesday. Last fall's foot ball squabble left a bad taste in the mouth for all of us. Nothing can so help to remove that as a victory over Nebraska this spring. We want to show the Nebranss by our treatment that we are all gentlemen but we want to show them that we have athletes who are gentlemen, and gentlemen who are athletes.
Then there is another reason why it is essential that we defeat the Nebraskans. Our position in the western collegiate base ball world depends largely upon the result of our two games with Nebraska. Nebraska on account of its geographical position and because of the more liberal financial support given her base ball team is able to play games with many of the colleges of the northwest. Our geographical position on the one hand and our poverty on the other makes such games an impossibility for us. As a result the game with Nebraska gives an opportunity to compare our own team with that of the Northwestern University.
Altogether the game Tuesday is the most important of the schedule. More depends upon it than any other. We must win it.
WISE COUNS:L.
The counsel contained in the addresses of Chancellor Snow and Mr. Gleed speaking before the throng of students present in the chapel Tuesday morning should be carefully weighed by every man in the University. No wiser advice could have been given. Both the speeches of these gentlemen and the admirable address penned by Prof. Marvin and issued by the University council should be carefully considered by every student thinking of enlisting.
Every phase of the question should be thoughtfully pondered. It has been estimated that there are enough men who need to go the front just for the sake of employment to make up the whole number of the call. Even if this be doubted, it can not be denied that there are many more volunteers than can be taken. In the light of these facts it is doubtful whether it is the duty of any student to volunteer.
This conclusion is not altogether the result of selfishness. As pointed out in a previous issue and as manifested by the enthusiastic demonstrations in all our colleges, the nation's college boys are not lacking in willingness to serve their country. Just as present however their country does not really need them at the front, perhaps, not so much so there as in college. So with those who stay at home the reason will be rather of an indisposition to make a useless sacrifice of their college preparation for life, than the manifestation of any lack of patriotism or disposition to show the white leather.
Especially pertinent is the suggestion that only Seniors should go. They are practically through their college work. To others, however, enlistment would mean probably its fatal interruption. Few of the college boys enlisting in the last war returned to their studies at 1 completion. There is every reason to believe that the same would be the fate of o'ir undergraduate volunteer's collegiate training now.

It is reported that the Music school will have a Musical Kindergarten next year in which the pupils will be children of 6 or 7 years of age. The idea is to train the ears of the children while young and develop their talent along the line of music. The instructors will be graduates of the Music school.
Aa engineering party is the latest event of the social world. The engineers thinking that society as well as study and shop work should go to complete their education are thinking of renting Python hall and giving an evening, some time in the near future, to some experiments in motions of ratation and translation but known to the gayety as waltzing. The music will consist of a row of tuning forks operated by electric magnets which will be excited by one man by the use of telegraph keys. The refreshments will consist of currents picked direct from the electric plant and served by the shock.
A base ball game is talked of between the Senior Electricals and the Senior Civils. Each class has exactly ten men, a base ball nine and a water carrier. It is doubtful, however, if they can be brought together as each class considers itself so much above the other that they do not like to associate.
A member of the WEEKLY board held an indignation meeting the other day because he skipped all his classes to call at the postoffice for a package, and which, when he obtained it, proved to be a poker chip
The Senior Laws undertook to interrupt the meeting of the Juniors Monday. J.
W. Green acted as arbitrator and the matter was soon settled.

The small crowd that ever witnessed an annual Field meet of the Kansas University Athletic Association saw the meet at the Driving Park yesterday. Not over fifty people were present, and considering the way the meet was advertised or rather not advertised by Manager McKay, it is a wonder that even those fifty were there.
Characterized Yest-red's Fleed Meet-
The Winners
RANK MANAGEMENT.
Not a line of advertising was given to the Lawrence dailies. A few short notices appeared in the Journal, but these notices were entirely unauthorized or unasked for by the management. Absolutely no attempt was made to secure the co operation of either of the papers. The idea of getting the press to boom the meet and keep it before the public never entered the twenty-two caliber brain of the manager.
Posters and dodgers were struck off and scattered about the streets, but with his usual far-sightenedness, Mr. McKay neglected to have the dodgers say at what time the Meet would begin.
Those who did go out to the meet were rewarded by seeing first-class sport. Hampered as they had been by the tardy inefficient movements of their manager, the boys had nevertheless trained faithfully and were all in excellent trim for the day's events.
As another evidence of energetic and up-to-date management, no programs were provided. Each spectator was allowed the blessed privilege of making his own program as the events and the winners announced. But unless a man were a short band writer he could not very well take down the entries as read.
The spectators were allowed to sit in the grand stand. The management did grant that privilege. The grand stand was there, furnished by Colonel Learned, and even the almighty, self-important swelled up manager of track athletic could present its being occupied. So here the fifty loyal spectators sat and waited for the sport to begin;*
After a delay of about a half hour the first event was called and the sprinters took their places for the 100 yards dash.
The following were the winners:
too yards dash—Moulton first, Spak second, Davidson third.
Shot put—Mosse first, Hamill second,
Avery third.
220 yards dash—Moulton first, Speak second, Davidson third.

KAN3AS 9: OTTAWA 1.
'Varatty Takes the First of the Inter-Collegiate Series.
The initial game of the league series played by the 'Varsity at Ottawa Monday was genuine baseball from start to finish, and in many respects a surprise to local "fans." To put in the language of Manager Jackson of the football team: "It would have done Jimmie Green's heart good to have been there and seen the pretty and almost errorless ball which our boys put up."
Although but seven safe hits were made off Ellis' delivery, the Ottawa batsmen bombarded the K. U. infield with hot ground balls from the first to the last inning, and every chance with scarcely exception was "gobbled up" and the Ottawa men retired.
The game was in striking contrast to the last of the Indian series played a week ago. The new men of whom little was expected, showed up in fine form. Poorman at short took everything that came his way and McKay's work at third was brilliant. That fast ball was played is shown by the record of three double-plays. Time and again Ottawa had men on bases with no outs, but only in the third inning did she succeed in crossing the rubber.
Housh, Swett and Curry led the 'Varsity' team in stick work, Housh having a double and two singles to his credit. Swett a three base drive, a double and a single. and Carry two singles.
Edmundson was tried in right field, but as no balls came his way he did not have an opportunity to show himself. Housh at second played an errorless game, in one instance, pulling down a ball which had the best of intentions for a base hit. Curry's catching was perfect. If he still possesses a "strong arm" the opportunity to play ayder-over second base with the center-fielder was denied him, as the Ota base running was very sluggish.
