LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MARCH (2,1896)
The Missouri University disciplinary committee seldom have a session but when they do they sit with a vengeance. $ \mathrm {A}_{\mathrm t}} $ their last meeting five refractory students were expelled and twenty two were sus'pended from two to forty weeks.
The Glee club gives its Lawrence concert Friday night. The boys have been hard at work and the last concert given, the one at Kansas City elicted the highest praise of the press. In fact, the Kansas City papers hive as a usual thing given our club better press notices than those accorded the big Eastern clubs. Give the boys the glad hand here at their home concert.
The *Baker Orange* quotes one Pearl Dooker winner of last year's inter-state oratorical contest, assaying to Games of Baldwin: "Frank, in your presence, I feel that I am with my equal if not my superior for natural ability."

That settles it. The inter-state is already ours. But how the bones of the immortal Webster must have jostled each other in their grave as this new example and criterion for young orators announced himself to the world.
Today closes the second week of Prof. Greider's work as principal of the high school, and he seems to be giving satisfaction. Mr. Greider is a splendid teacher and has perfect order. There will probably be no more friction in the schools - Eldorado Daily Republican. March. 4, 98. Word has come to us that the El Dorado schools have raised Mr. Greider's salary $3 per month. The WEEKLY extends congratulations.

We search in vain among the clippings on the oratorical contest in our yellow contemporary the Baker Orange for the following from the Campbell University Informer: "The Baker Orange seems to be having a spell of indigestion over the decision of the judges at Lawrence. Such an attitude is hardly to be commended. The judges were all honest men and besides, they could only award the honor to one. It is all right to run the picture of a defeated candidate, and to say all the nice things about him that can be thought of. But to run his picture and vilify six representative men of Kansas is hardly in touch with a liberal college spirit."
TRANS-MISSISSI PPI MEET
The University of Nebraska is to be commended for originating and advocating the proposed track meets at the Trans-Mississippi Exposition. Such a plan should meet with favor from all Trans-Mississippi colleges. The large crowds which will throng the exposition grounds insure its financial success. Neither is there any reason why the colleges of this section should not furnish first class sport. We hope to see Kansas develop some good material and take a high rank at this proposed meet. Such a meet will certainly attract much attention and ought to act as a further incentive to individual work. But aside from the individual glory to be secured the prospect of this contest ought to appeal to the heart of every loyal Kansas athlete to do his best. If a Trans-Mississippi meet is to be held, the University of Kansas as one of the leading western colleges should be well represented:
KANSAS UNIVERSITY SHUT OUT.
KANSAS UNIVERSITY IUSTA COURT.
It has come to light that a Kansas Inter-collegiate Tennis association was formed the day of the contest. The greatest secrecy was apparently manifested by the delegates. A backroom in the Eldridge House was secured and the conference carried on in whispered tones less some Kansas University man might learn of the project and ask admission to the tournament. One of the colleges, Ottawa, we understand, desired that Kansas University be represented but the others held up their hands in consternation at the suggestion. Hadn't Kansas University always won every inter-collegiate tennis tournament held? No it never would do to let us in.
We can see no other reason for our exclusion. More than in any other athletic sport, success in tennis depends upon individual work. Team work counts for naught and coaching for but little. Here if in any branch of sport the big college and the little colleges are on a footing of equality. We cannot account for our studied exclusion on any other ground than that of jealous fear of defeat.
"It" Is Dead.
The annual banquet and lolligation of the University Science club, termed the "It," will not, to all appearance, be given this year, as the usual time for the occasion, just after the spring examinations, is already far spent. It has been the custom during previous years for both professors and students to gather for an oyster supper, after which a program of merriment consisting of numerous responses to toasts, comic lectures and an abundance of comic story telling is carried far into the night. The parting after a good time of this sort is always accompanied by the best of friendship among all members of the party, and which proves lasting for time to come.

Y. M. C A
The time of meeting of the Y, M. C., A. has been changed from Thursday evening to Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The change has certainly proved wise, for at the first meeting after it there were present nearly fifty students. The new president aims to make each meeting an interesting one, but in order to do so there must be in attendance a large number of fellows. Why not every Christian fellow in the University come out?
Th+ Masque.
The Masque held its regular meeting at the club house last Wednesday evening. A first rehearsal of "Money" was held, and was so successful as to thoroughly arouse the enthusiasm of the members. A pleasant feature of the evening was recitations by Mr. Perl Decker and Miss Chatty Hobson.
Senior Arts D bate Contest.
The Seneca Arts held their contest in debate last Thursday. Prof. Hodder, Prof. Hopkins and Prof. Blackmar acting as judges.
The contestants were Olsen, Crisman, Ellis and Chaddle. The contest was very interesting. The successful debaters were Mr. Crisman and Mr. Chaddle. They will represent the Senior class in the preliminary of the Kansas-Nebraska debate.
The Medical society held a meeting and election of officers last Tuesday afternoon. The new officers are Mr. Mark Beach, president Miss Walker, vice president; Mr. Earl Frissel, reporter. The society meets every two weeks. At the next meeting, on Monday night, Dr. H C. Oatman will lecture on Cremation. Every one interested in the subject is cordially invited.
Medical Society.
Work is being pushed on the catalogue and the Registrar hopes to have it printed by the middle of April. The delay has been caused by the change in the courses.
Professor Clark will give another one of those delightful lectures on 'Art' next Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock in the Physics building. A small admission fee ot 10 cents will be charged.

SNOW HALL.
Mr. Charles Schuchert of the United States National Museum and Geological Survey and an authority on brachiopody visited Snow Hall during the week. He is making an inspection of the different museums of the country and was greatly surprised at the excellency of our various collections, being especially impressed with those of the zoological and paleontological departments. He says that the collection of the carboniferous here is superior to that at the National Museum which has heretofore been supposed to be the best in the world. While here he exchanged some Crinoids for some Cambrian fossils and is contemplating some purchases from the entomological department.
Last Saturday seven students and instructors made a sort of preliminary trip for the survey. They explored the Wakarua in the neighborhood of the suspen-
son bridge, and the paleontological students obtained some specimens but it is too early for any work in either botany or zoology. The survey is to begin today when a number of professors and students will take the 10:30 Santa Fe for Lake View where the first work will be done.
At last Wednesday's meeting the name of the Snow Hall Journal club of Natural History was changed to The University Biological club.
