Kansas College Press Association.
Kansas College Fifth Twenty-five delegates and as many visitors were present at the annual convention of the Press Association held the afternoon of the contest.
President McKeever called the convention to order and introduced W. R. Manning of the Baker Orange, who read a paper on "How to Cultivate Genuine College Spirit." The subject was perhaps of more vital interest to those present than that of any other paper prepared for the association. Mr. Manning treated the subject in a terse and suggestive manner. The college paper should, he thought, discuss live topics vitally affecting the every day life of the students. The editor should be independent of faculty, or faction. His treatment of all mooted questions should be impartial and certain discussions, such for instance as those damaging the school should be tabcoed altogether. He should promote scholarship and encourage every college enterprise. Having done all these things he should be intensely patriotic. Mr. Wood of the K. U., Weekly followed on the "Size, choosing, and composition of the staff." Mr. Wood thought these three questions were each to be settled by experience, and determined by local conditions and the character of the paper.
Quite a discussion was provoked by the next paper read by Mr. Thompson of the Cooper Courier on "How to Deal with Politics." Mr. Thompson thought college politics ought to be avoided, while national issues should be impartially treated.
impartively relates
other members thought differently.
Mr. Schoonover of the Washburn Review told of the advantages of the Weekly over the Monthly in point of circulation, news, advertising and general effect.
Mr. Myer of the Western College Magazine spoke briefly of "The Scope of the Association. A close relationship ought to exist, he thought, between its members. Mr. Myers also suggested an advertising bureau in connection with the association.
Illustrating and souvenir editions was entertainingly treated by Mr. White of the Ottawa Campus. The importance of neat and attractive typographical work was particularly touched upon.
Mr. Gould of the Southwestern Collegian thought "religion and athletics should go hand in hand."
This completed the first part of the program. Col O. E. Learnard of the Lawrence Journal was then introduced and made a short, informal address to the delegates. Colonel Learned said in part "No enterprise has made greater progress in the last forty or fifty years than the newspaper. It has become virtually true that we are a nation of newspaper readers, sometimes to our own hurt, as an exclusive intellectual diet. Yet the fact remains that notwithstanding the wonderful growth of newspapers, they do not exercise the potential influence of former years, and this is also true of our public men. The people are coming more and more to do their own thinking, to rely upon their own judgement. They no longer look to the editorial page for opinions but ask for the facts that they may form their own opinion. This is a fututious advance in self reliance.
As to the newspaper itself it may be divided into four departments. First comes the mechanical. This includes not only the typographical work, but the general make up and style of the paper. The general form and appearance in which a paper comes before the public is as important as the taste and style of a woman's dress.
Next comes what in the smaller towns is the most important department, the local. This calls for the exercise of a prentiar genius, attitude and insight.
The third department, the edito rial, is no of so much influence as formerly. Its sphere now is rather educatorial than controlling or dictional. Questions on the editorial should be treated emphatically and fairly.
Last but not least comes the

business department, the soul and substance of the whole enterprise These four departments conjointly make a newspaper, and each must be well and diligently performed. "The same requirements are essential to college journalism Here there is, however, the added responsibility of representing the culture and character of the institution at which the paper is published. College journalism has not always occupied the high position it should. But the college newspaper is progressing. Its work is not a light thing, and the ability, there learning to express one's self well, concisely and cleanly, is an accomplishment of the highest value, and serviceable long after many things learned in the class room have been forgotten."
Three minute discussions on the Finances and the Departments of the college newspaper were then read as follows:
Finances: I. Local advertising, H. O.

II. Assured Students' Support, C. A.

At the conclusion of the program a short business meeting was held. The report of the secretary and treasurer was read and accepted. Miss Guild, as state reporter, reported regular contributions of matter from all except the University. The following officers for the coming year were chosen: G.W. Trout, Ottawa Campus, president; J.B. Baker, Baker Orange, vice president; C.N. Gould, Southwestern Collegian, secretary and treasurer. The Ottawa Campus was selected as the official organ.

A Warm Kecept on.
When a hundred "Bakers" got off of the 2:40 train, last Saturday, they carried a yellow banner on which was written "Games" in large bold letters and before the reception committee had a chance to meet them and extend the hospitality of K. U. and an invitation to the reception to be given them on their arrival by Chancellor Snow, they were met by about a hundred of the K. U. students at the post-office corner, who immediately proceeded to capture the yellow flag. The conflict that ensued blocked the street, a policeman tried to get a hearing but was given no recognition. After about an hour, the tug of war ended, when the K. U. students had succeeded in capturing in small fragments the yellow banner and the crowd dispersed and the visitors wended their way up the hill to the reception, bannerless, with broken canes and torn colors.

A New Lecture by Professor Blake.
Professor Blake has prepared a lecture on "Wireless Telegraph," which will be given on Tuesday evening, March 8th, in music hall. This lecture, which will be illustrated by demonstrations, is the outcome of Hertz's experiments. The subject is attracting widespread attention in Europe and among scientists in this country. No lecture or public experiments have hitherto been given in America. The receiving and sending apparatus will be in different rooms, without connecting wires, and the audience will be greatly interested in the result. Messages will be sent through solid walls and other obstructions without the intervention of wires. Professor Blake has succeeded in overcoming a difficulty heretofore existing, which made it necessary to adjut the transmitter after sending each message. He has made the transmitter automatic in adjustment. The subject commends itself to the public as well as to scientific men, and no one should fail to hear and see Professor Blake's demonstration.
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
The proceeds of the lecture will be given to the Parish Aid society of the Trinity church.
Tickets, 25 cents, may be obtained at W. Bromelsick's 807 Massachusetts street or at the door of music hall on the evening of the lecture, March 7th.

ATHLETIC BOARD.
A meeting of the Athletic board was held Thursday pursuant to a call by Prof. Green, president of the association.
Captain Mose of the '98 foot-ball team reported for Bert Kennedy, captain of the '97 team, that the following men were entitled to the varsity 'K' as provided for by the recent amendment to the constitution: A R. Kennedy, William T. Walker, Nat Foster, Blockberry, Avery, Poorman, E. E. Voighs, Will Games, Hess, Fred Speak and Arthur Mose.
The board then voted to confer the much sought-after "K" upon those reported by Captain Kennedy as entitled to it.
The previous election of Arthur Jackson as foot-ball manager for '98 caused a vacancy in the track athletic committee which was filled by the election of "Shorty" Hamill "96 foot-ball captain to the board as a member of that committee. The meeting then adjourned.
Entomology Bulletin.
The department of Entomology has just published a full treatise upon "Scale Insects Injurious to Orchards," which has received wide notice among scientific and commercial men. Dr. L O. Howard, chief entomologist for the U. S. Department of Agriculture at Washington, and Department of Agriculture of New York state have asked for a number of copies. The expert for agriculture and forestry of the Imperial German Embassy, Washington, D C., having seen a copy pays the publication a high compliment and asks for copies to be sent to Germany. Dr. Otto Lugger, state entomologist of Minnesota, referred the North German Lloyd Steamship company to this University for the most important work upon these insects and their extermination. By request of this company, a number of copies have been sent them. The State Agricultural college of Virginia has asked for a good number for the use of classes.
Prof. Hunter, the author of the treatise, has worked in the laboratory at Cornell University with Prof. Comstock, the highest authority upon scale insects, and since leaving Cornell has paid special attention to this group, in which he is highly proficient.
During the past year Prof. Hunter has by request examined many nurseries and orchards of this state to determine, whether such injurious enemies are present. He has placed his work in print at a very opportunity time and the University as well has gained thereby.
SNOW HALL.
The current number, Vol. 7, No. I, of the Quarterly is out. It is almost entirely a Snow Hall edition and the frontispiece, drawn by Sydney Prentice, is an illustration of some Mossasaurus.
Prof. Dyche left Thursday for a lecture tour in the southeastern part of the state, being at Girard Friday night.
Prof. Barber had his division in Botany I out on the campus Thursday morning
The Journal club met again Wednesday afternoon and Prof. Stevens gave a very interesting talk on "Ueberlander's views on the relation of the position of a nucleus to its functions." The survey plan was taken up again and the organization perfected. The first trip was appointed for today and about fifteen instructors and students expressed their purpose of taking an active part in the work. The character of the work will be individual, each student being given some certain line of work to attend to each trip and being under direct supervision of some one of the instructors. This will be an excellent opportunity for getting information both to the advanced student as well to those who have made no special study of botany. Anyone interested in Biology is invited to assist in the work whether they have made a study of zoology and botany or not as this gives to such a one a splendid chance to study plant and animal life in its native surroundings.
Students will find Theme Paper, 'and all other Stationery at Mrs. Prentiss', 1105 Massachusetts street.

Lawrence,
Kansas,
The WEEKLY has received the following letter from W. O. Johnson, an old K. U. student, called out by the publication of Wa'ter Griffith's letter a few weeks ago:
W. O. Johnson Replies to "Grandma"
Griffith on Starord.
"By an article in the WEEKLY some time ago a letter was published which contained alleged descriptions of Stanford and her students."
The author of the same, Mr. Griffith, is not, and has not been a student here and the take off consequently was never intended to apply to Stanford, but was probably intended for the Hastings Law School.
During my six months' stay here I have found the students very congenial with a fraternal yet democratic spirit. The student body is composed of persons from every section of the country and most of the countries of the world.
The crowd is consequently cosmopolitan in make up. Here one meets the sturdy mountaineer, the energetic Yankee, the congressional southerner, and the wide awake westerner, all on a broad plane of equality.
Kansas though owing to the superior advantages of her State University has a comparatively small representation—only about half a dozen who claim residence in the sunflower state. The same may be said of the young ladies who constitute nearly fifty per cent of the students.
Stanford owing to her youth has many young men on her corps of instructors—men who have been selected on account of their promise ef future rather than for past attainments.
You will please call the attention of the WEEKLY readers to the mistake mentioned above.
Very truly yours
W. O. JOHNSON."
