OUR ANCIENT FOE
MISSOURI UNIVERSITY WILL SEND THREE REPRESENTATIVES.
TO DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT.
On The Income Tax-Kansas Has the Affirmative.
Affirmative.
"Will Kansas beat Missouri!" No-
ves-well I'll be goldarmed."
For the past years this slogan has sounded on the streets in Kansas City every Thanksgiving day. Now the question repeats itself and is to be answered not on a muddy gridiron at Exposition Park but on the platform in the University chapel, next Friday night at that time will be inaugurated the annual joint debate between the Universities of Missouri and Kansas. Missouri will at that time try to wipe out the string of four defeats in football by winning the first of our contests of intellect. On the other hand it is the confident hope of everyone on Mount Oread from Chancellor Snow to Nate, the janitor, that we may on that occasion show ourselves as skilled in logic and rhetoric as in the use of the Pennsylvania tandem.
The question to be discussed is "Resolved that a national income tax would be a desirable part of our system of taxation." Our team will attempt to prove the affirmative of this proposition while Missouri's representatives will uphold the negative.
Each speaker will have an opening speech of fifteen minutes, and the leader of cach side will in addition have a closing speech of ten minutes. Two judges have been selected. The rules call for three judges, one a resident of Kansas to be selected by President Jesse of Missouri, one a resident of Missouri to be selected by Chancellor Snow the third to be selected by the heads of the two universities jointly. This third judge must live outside either state. The two so far selected are Judge John F. Philips of the U. S. District court at Kansas City and Col. W.S. Rossington of Topeka. The third judge is to be selected.
All the expenses of the debate are to be met by our own debating association. To meet these expenses an admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged.
The names of Missouri's representatives have not as yet been learned.
The Kansas team, chosen at the preliminary held a weeka go Friday, is composed of Wm. S. Kretsinger, Law, '98, leader, Guy Simpson, Law '98; B. B. McCall, '98
Fourth Organ Recital
On Wednesday afternoon occurred the fourth organ recital and the seventh of the series of recitals given for the benefit of the organ fund. Prof. Penny was assisted by the chapel quartette and Rev. Rogers. The program was good throughout and came fully up to the standard of the recitals thus far given. The first quartette selection was from the sacred oratorio of Saul and was sung in unison. The other selection by the quartette was "Abide With Me" by Hopkins. With the exception of a slight tendency to flat it was well rendered. Mr. Rogers sung a Recitative and Aria from Mendelssohn, Handel's "Largo" and a selection from Purcell's opera founded on Shakespeare's "Tempest." These numbers were much enjoyed by the audience. Mr. Penny's best organ pieces were "Fantasie" by Stainer and Mendelssohn's "War March of the Priests" and "Spring Song." As he was playing the "State March" by Spinney the power was shut off and the organ refused to play. Prof. Penny explained that by the time of the next organ recital the new storage batteries would be in place and we would not be dependent on the engine house for power.
Messrs Beach, Welsh, Baker and Baumgartner were the contestants, and the question was the expedition of applying the British cabinet system to this country.
Snow Debaters for Nebraska Preliminary The Snow Literary held its preliminary for the Kansas-Nebraska debate March 11.
Messrs Beach and Baumgartner were chosen to represent the society in the local preliminary contest for the Kansas-Neb raska debate.

The Inter-Collegiate Amateur Athletic Association of Kansas
A conference was held in Ottawa, Monday, March 14, for the purpose of framing a constitution for the State Inter-Collegial Track association. There were present J. T. Backus from Emporia, J. Whit Eby from Ottawa, Fred Speak from the University of Kansas.
CONSTITUTION AND RULES ADOPTED
It was decided at the meeting that the association should be limited to educational institutions, the charter members being the University of Kansas, college of Emporia, Baker university, Ottawa, Washburn and Midland colleges.
Any educational institution of the state may become a member of the association, upon the approval of the executive board, by signing the constitution and paying an initiation fee of five dollars, charter members being included.
It was also decided to hold at least one field meet of the association annually in August the meet to be held at Lawrence under the auspices of the University of Kansas on May 9, 1898. The following events are to be included in the meet.
Track events:
One hundred yard dash.
Two hundred and twenty yard dash.

One mile walk
One mile relay race.
Field events:

Throwing sixteen pound hammer.
Pole vault.
Running broad jump.

Each institution represented to have not more than three contestants in any one event, except in the relay race, in which each institution shall have four representatives. Visiting teams are required to pay all their expenses except in the year 1808, when the University of Kansas shall entertain the members of the various teams while in Lawrence, said teams paying their own railroad fare to and from the city.
A suitable cup is to be given annually to be won by the team obtaining the greatest number of points in the meet, and medals are to be given to the winning contestants in each event. The entire gate receipts, after expenses have been paid, are to be used to purchase these prizes, with the exceptions of 5 per cent of the net receipts which is to go to the local association under whose auspices the meet is held.
The rules adopted by the I A. A. A.A.
to govern all contests.
The same rules in regard to qualifications for members of the different teams were adopted that were adopted by the Kansas L-2 Base Ball league. These are aimed to secure the amateurs tatus of the contesting athletes.
In the year 1898 the University of Kansas is to have entire control of the state meet; in all succeeding years the state association is to have control.
Last Thursday the Civil Engineering society met over in the bacteriological laboratory at Snow hall and listened to a talk by Prof Barber on Bacteria.
Proceedings of Civil Engineering So- cety
In his talk an outline of the nature of these organisms was given, and the importance of their work in breaking down organic tissue into its original components was discussed.
A short description was then given of the methods of bacteriological examination of water, and a plate culture, of a cubic centimeter of water taken from the top in a laboratory mixed with sterilized gelatin, was begun.
clety
Especial attention was paid to the bacteria of the water and the soil.
A new autoclave for sterilization by the application of steam at about 120 degrees centigrade was shown, and its points of superiority over other methods explained.
Under the microscopes about the room were slides containing the bacteria of tuberculosis, of typhoid, of diphtheria, and one slide of live sulphur bacteria.

FOR CUBAN RELIEF.
SUBSCRIPTI NS TO CONTINUE NEXT WEEK
A Mass Meeting Held-Fifty-four Dollars in All Raised for the Kansas City Star's Relief Fund.
K. U., is going to do her share in sending relief to the starving Cubans. Twenty dollars was subscribed by the faculty and sent to the Kansas City Star in the earl's part of the week. At yesterday's mass meeting, cash contributions to the amount of $18.65 and subscriptions amounting to $15.35 were secured
Chancellor Snow called the meeting and presided. He told of the inhuman treatment of Cuban non-combatants by the Spanish. Two hundred thousand of these innocent sufferers compelled to huddle in the cities have already lost their lives. The chancellor told, too, of the efforts of the Kansas City Star for humanity. To the fund the students of Kansas University now have an opportunity to add their mites.
Mr. P. S. Elliot struck a responsive chord when he began by saying he was for peace but also for humanity "There are thousands in Cuba starving to death simply from lack of food." (Laughter and applause.) "That's' just what I mean" (Great applause.). Mr. Elliot closed with a strong plea for money that touched every one present.
Mr. Kretsinger was called upon for a speech. Mr. Kretsinger favored not only relief, but war.
Mr Jackson, being called upon, spoke in the same strain. "Peace has its victories as well as war." Let us loosen the purse strings and rush to the succor of these helpless and oppressed fellow creatures."
The result of the collection has been given. Subscriptions are to be paid at the WEEKLY office. For those not present an opportunity will be given to contribute next week. A box will be placed in the hall into which contributions may be dropped. The amount collected ought to double or treble itself. If every student here would give twenty five cents, we could raise $250, while only an average contribution of ten cents would put $100 to our credit.
AMUSEMENTS.
In these days of trouble about Cuba, possible war with Spain and the 16 to 1 question, not to speak of several weighty municipal questions, the men who can make people laugh are really public benefactors, consequently we feel that we are doing all a favor by advising a visit to the Opera house Wednesday night, where those funny fellows, Monroe and Hart, and their high-class company in "The Gay Matinee Girl," create a perfect whirlwind of laughs and make one forget that he has a care, while the story of the comedy is just interesting enough to keep curiosity alive.

"MERRY MUSIC MAKERS."
The opera house was well filled to hear the Glee club's home concert last night. Fourteen numbers were on the program, but about twice that number were given.
As was to be expected of the most difficult number on the program, Mr. Robertson's perpetual motion solo made the greatest hit and he was thrice recalled
Of course everyone in Lawrence knows of Frank House's singing and his solo last night was no disappointment to his friends.
Ed House and the Glee club in "Predicaments" was perhaps the most acceptably received of the chorus numbers.
The ludicrous burglesque on Grand Opera was decidedly funny and well rendered.
Both clubs acquitted themselves well, the instrumental organizations perhaps having a shade the best of it. Of their numbers the most interest centered in Mr. Robertson's composition, the "U.of K, Two Step."
The program was as follows:
U. of K. Two Step, Robertson, Mandolin club.
"Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup." Harrington, club.
"The Merry Music Makers," Kucken,
Glee, Mandolin and Banjo club.
