Reports of the Iowa Sophomore-Freshman fracas seem to have been exaggerated. The young lady injured will, it is announced soon be well, and her "abduction" from her class was accomplished by the girls of the Sophomore class, not "roughly" carried out by the boys.

A Professor's Parents Injured.
Missouri University is making preparations for an exhibit at the Trans-Mississippi exposition at Omaha. Kansas has as yet done nothing. The cut in the legislative appropriation has left no money with which to make such an exhibit. Just what will be done cannot be said. Chancellor Snow is on a committee to consider an educational exhibit, and the University it is presumed will be represented but a distinct University of Kansas exhibit is altogether improbable.
The father and mother of Prof. Olin were quite badly hurt Saturday afternoon as they started to drive to their home in the country. The horse became frightened by a sled which was flying down Mount Oread and a runaway was the result. The occupants of the buggy were thrown out and rendered unconscious. For some time fears were entertained for their recovery but at present they are both better.

LITERARY MAGAZINE ASSURED.
To Be. Under the Control of the English and Art Departments.
K. U. is to have a regularly published literary magazine. This was definitely settled at a meeting of those interested last Monday. The meeting was the second one called for the purpose of considering the ways and means for such a publication.
Prof. Hopkins was elected chairman of the meeting which then proceeded to hear the report of the committee appointed one week beforehand to canvass the University for potential subscribers.
Mr. Rising reported that a partial canvass of the students had resulted already in eight pledged subscribers at 50 cents a year.
Mr. Jones of the English department then outlined the scope of the magazine. It is to be devoted entirely to literature and art. The longer articles are to include essays, stories and book reviews. Then distinct from the long book reviews there is to be a department of book chat under the supervision of Prof. Dunlap. The magazine will also contain an exchange column made up from clippings from the shorter articles of similar publications at other colleges. Perhaps the most unique feature suggested by Mr. Jones is a column to be known as "The Window Seat" consisting of the loosely joined together but pithy reflections of a literary man
The meeting then proceeded to consider the methods to be employed in the selection of a staff. There seemed to be an almost unanimous sentiment that some plan must be devised to preserve the literary character of the publication. It was finally determined after much discussion, in which everybody mis understood everybody else, to constitute the departments of English, and Art, and the heads of the departments of Latin, Greek, French, and German, a board of control for the magazine with general power to direct the policy of the paper. The selection of the staff and business manager is to be under their supervision.

A Small Audience Listens to a Thrilling Story of a Trip Over Miles of
Lieutenant Peary lectured before a disgracefully small audience at the University Tuesday night, for the benefit of the Organ Fund.
LIEUTENANT PEARY'S LECTURE
Frozen Waters
Prof. Dyche introduced the famous explorer in a graceful little speech in which he predicted that before the close of the century Lieutenant Peary would accomplish the end to which he has devoted his life, and become the first to find the pole.
Lieut. Peary began by stating that since the expeditions of Kane and Franklin, there had never been a time of such wide spread interest in Arctic and Antarctic explorations as the present. There are now four men either actively engaged in Arctic exploration, or making preparation, while another intrepid explorer is at this moment within the Antarctic circle.
Passing hurriedly over a description of the topography of Greenland, the speaker went on to describe, with the aid of vivid stereoclick views, his trip with two white companions, their sledges and dogs, over the ice-capped rampart of inland Greenland, where, said the explorer, but three things besides his own body, were to be seen—"the limitless expanse of snow and ice, the infinite beavers, and the ever present sun." It is safe to say that such a thrilling account of hardihood and daring was never given before in the University.
Lieut. Peary, on his last voyage, brought back with him the largest meteorite in the world, weighing 200,000 pounds, which is now in the possession of the Navy Department. This summer he expects to start out again with a stock of provisions calculated to last five years, and when he returns, hopes to have 'found the pole.'
INDOOR MEET.
Class Interest to Be Aroused.
Manager McKay is making preparations for the annual indoor meet. Two years ago great interest was manifested in his athletic event, and there was a large attendance. Each class elected a lady manager, whose duty it was to find entries and work up enthusiasm in her class. The boys athletically inclined could not, of course, resist the pleadings of their lady manager to enter, and larger entries than usual was the result; while the presence of their girl classmates to cheer and watch them, nerved the boys on to their best.
The same plan will be tried this year and a cup will be presented to the class team scoring the most points. This cup will of course be gracefully presented by the boys to their lady managers. Eleceoreing by the girls for this lucrative position may be expected.
AMUSEMENTS.
An attraction that will call for more than passing attention from theatre goers in Harry Martell's realistic southern production. The South before the War, which will appear at opera house on Monday, Feb. 7. The play introduces a number of scenes that are suggestive of the south in slavery times. The negro is represented by negroes in widely different environments. Jubilee songs and dances, buck and wing dancing, visions of an old time camp meeting, introducing all the characters usually seen there, a cake walk for gold and silver prizes, and a pickaninny band of seventeen little colored boys, are a few of the novelties introduced. The lovable and bright side of negro life, living in a village of plantation cabins, is shown, and the sum total of the entertainment is a scene of animated rural simplicity in Dixie as pictured by the pens of writers famous in history and romance. The company presenting this interesting play is a very large one, numbering some fifty people, and who travel in their own $12,000 palace car. Parade with band on Monday, and band concert in front of opera house in the evening.

THE QUESTION OF FEES.
No Reply from the Attorney General-
Facts and Law.
The pharmacy students are still paying fees. No action has yet been taken by the Attorney General and it is thought that the matter has gone as far as it ever will. The jaw upon the subject is very plain. After the library fee was declared illegal the legislature amended the act regulating University affairs so as to remove all ambiguity as to the power of the Regents to impose fees. The statute now reads:
Section 6380 of the general statutes of 1889 is hereby amended so as to read as follows; Section 6380. Tuition shall be free to all inhabitants of the state in the schools of arts, engineering, pharmacy, law and medicine. All non-resident students and all students in the schools of fine arts shall pay such tuition fees as the regents may establish; and every student of the University shall pay laboratory fees to cover the cost of material used and breakage of apparatus and a graduation fee of five dollars.
The right of the regents to impose fees on pharmacy students seems unquestionably to follow from the above section of the statutes. As to the amount of the fees, it is claimed that the charge is not exorbitant. The price is placed somewhat above the wholesale price at which the goods are purchased by the University, but no charge is made for the material used in general experiments by the class as a whole and the excess over the wholesale price is intended to no more than cover this material.
In the case of alcohol, for instance, large quantities are used in general experiments for which no direct charge is made. To make the rate for alcohol less than one cent an ounce in quantities of a few ounces at a time would, besides, be hardly practicable, while if purchased at the drug stores in such small quantities the price charged would be many times that set upon it by the Pharmacy department. Even for large quantities the department price is cheaper than that of the drug stores, as the University is subject to no tax.
Preliminary Examination for Master's Degree.
On Friday of last week the first student candidates for advanced degress who have been publicly examined here were examined on the work in one of their chosen courses. The candidates were Miss Spencer, Miss Dudley, Miss Metcalf and Mr. A. McKeever. each for the degree A. M. The examination was in English invection. Dean Blackmar of the graduate school presided and Professor Hopkins conducted the formal examination on the part of the department. The examination by the department was extended and severe. When it was ended the attendant professors and students were called on to question the candidates. A large number of the students and ex-students of the department were present, and the candidates were subjected to another long and vigorous, though an informal examination. At the close of this, Professor Hopkins congratulated the candidates upon the excellence of their standing in the test.
Benefactors.
When Elliott Brothers built their little house on the hill side, the book dealers little thought that it foreshadowed a possible ruin for themselves: The boys have considerably reduced the price of text books and are doing an extensive business. They are on the road to success, for students appreciate such favors and will not be slow to reward such efforts.

PRELIMINARY DEBATERS CHOSEN.
Representatives of the Adelphic Literary society, Snow Literary society, and Kent club have been determined upon and now all interest is centered on the final preliminary debate contest which will be held February 18. The three champions at this contest will represent K. U. in the Kansas-Missouri debate.
Adelephic, Kent, and Snow Hold Their Missouri Preliminaries-Final Conference
Last Saturday morning the Kent club held its preliminary in east Law room. This club has a reputation for doing excellent work in debate and this contest proves it to be well merited. The question debated was, in substance, the one which will be used in the final, namely. Resolved that an income tax would be a beneficial part of our system of taxation. Each speaker had twelve minutes for debate and three minutes for a closing speech. Wm. Kretsinger and T. M. Brady, receiving first and second places represent Kent club in the final preliminary. The judges were Prof. Blackmar, Prof. Templein and Judge Nevison.
The Adelphic Literary society held its preliminary last Saturday evening. The hall was well filled. The mysterious atmosphere which is always present at an especially important meeting gave dignity to the proceedings. Pres. Hamer called the meeting to order and with a neat speech handed the gavel to his successor, Mr. Peterson. The program was interspersed with music. The instrumental music by Miss Criss and the solo by Miss Brown were highly appreciated. The six contestants in the debate were Messrs. Ellis, Morgan, Niheart, Simpson and Burdick. The friends of Walter Layton were sorry to learn that sickness would prevent his presence. The subject for debate was the income tax question. It was decided by lot twenty-four hours before the debate, which side each speaker was to champion. The time limit for debate was twelve minutes, and no closing speeches were allowed.
The contest was strong and very close. The judges, Prof. Stanley, Rev. Brehm and Mr. Chrisman awarded first and second places to Mr. Simpson and Mr. Burdick. The Adelphic may well be proud of its representatives. They are both senior laws, strong students and experienced debaters.
Snow Literary society chose its representatives by vote of the society. B. B. McCall and Mr. Messerly received the unanimous vote. These debaters are well known senior Arts. B. B. McCall took first place in the Kansas-Nebraska debate in 1806.
The interest in the preliminaries and the quality of the debating material are gratifying, for they promise a strong final preliminary, and that means we will show Missouri that we can debate as well as play football.

First of the Afternoon Recitals
The first of the series of pipe organ and piano recitals was given Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock, before a very small but very appreciative audience. The program was very artistically rendered by the two participants, Prof. Penny and Miss Myrtle Lawton. Comment on Prof. Penny's numbers would be unnecessary, as everybody knows his artistic style of playing. Few people have had the pleasure of hearing Miss Lawton sing in public. Her voice, though not strong, possesses a sweetness and accuracy which is very pleasing. The first piece on the program was the most brilliant and probably the most enjoyed, by the audience, with the possible exception of the last one, the "Coronation March" from "Le Prophete." Miss Lawton's two songs were well selected and enjoyed by the audience, the second one receiving a hearty excore, to which, however, she did not respond.
On the whole the program was highly enjoyed and well worth the price of admission, 10c. In the reries there will be twenty recitals—ten piano and ten organ recitals. Tickets for the series are sold for $1, or 5c for each recital. The proceeds are given to the pipe organ fund. This is a rare opportunity for the students to help along the fund, and at the same time receive the worth of their money.
