ORATORS ARE HARD AT WORK.
ACTIVE PREPARATIONS HAVE BEEN BEGIN FOR THE CONTEST.
Mass Meeting Will Be Held and an Attempt Made to Revive Interest—
Contest to Be Held in Lawrence.
It is the determination of the Oratical association to pull first place in the state contest for K. U. this year. They realize that they will have to do this to keep up with the procession.
The football team is doing business on the principle that K. U. must win everything in sight, and the orators are going to follow the example of the piskin chasers.
In the meantime preparation for the local contest will be begun by candidates. Mr. Sweet urges all persons who will compete to hand to the English department within the next two weeks, the subjects of their orations.
President Swett, of the Oratorical association, is planning to call a great mass meeting and rally of students in the near future to attempt a revival of interest in this line of work.
NO CRUSADE AGAINST K. U.
The best entertainment K U. can give her visitors will be to keep the championship here at home. The out-of-town people will then be able to witness not only the sight of a University man winning first place in oratory but will also enjoy seeing a good, old-fashioned K U. benfire celebration.
The state contest will be held in Lawrence, either in the University auditorium or in the Bowersock Opera house. It will take place probably the last Friday evening in February. Large delegations of enthusiastic rooters will be on hand from all the colleges of the state association to cheer for their representatives.
A Fake Wichita Article Which Threatens Changes in the Faculty.
Under big scareheads the Wichita Beacon of a few days ago published the following story as a Topeka dispatch:
"The Kansas contingent of the social democracy, promulgated by Eugene V. Debs, has laid the plan to capture the schools and colleges of this state.
"The state club organized here is only the beginning of a crusade, which its promoters expect will sweep through all the state schools and colleges of Kansas. Back of the scheme are some of the populist leaders of the state and most active in the work of organization are appointees of Chief Justice Doster of the Kansas supreme court.
"The plan, as outlined today, is to employ teachers in the various state educational institutions, who are in sympathy with the Debs idea, and then to organize clubs of the social democracy among students, so that when they go out into the world as teachers or in other callings, they will be fitted to inculcate the new doctrine."
"This is news to me, and I doubt it there is anything in it. I acknowledge that there is a growing tendency in that direction, but I doubt if they will do what this article says. At any rate, I don't believe I need worry about it."
Notwithstanding the fact that it is within the power of the present state administration to displace the members of the K. U. faculty for political reasons, as was done at the Manhattan Agricultural college, little or no apprehension is felt by University professors.
It is Fraser Hall now. The letters have been painted over the east door, and weave no longer to call it the main building.
The existence of such an organization is not known by Topeka people, and the story is undoubtedly a fake, pure and simple.
The change of name was made at the suggestion of Chancellor Snow. Chancellor Snow has, by the way, lately been appointed on a committee to obtain portraits of all the past state superintendents to decorate the office of the present superintendent.
The Building on the Hill Named for a Former Chancellor.
NOW CALL IT FRASER HALL.
When shown the Wichita dispatch by a Weekly reporter, Prof. F. W. Blackmar said:
Among the pictures will be one of Mr.
Fraser. Not only was he at one time at the head of the state school system as superscripted, but he also served as chancellor of the University.
In the early days no one worked harder to make the institution a great school than he, and that the mainbuilding should be named for him is decidedly appropriate.
SEDUCTIONS OF SNIPE HUNTING.
A Law Student Enjoys Rare Sport Holding the Back
Snipe among other things became the topic of conversation at a boarding club last week, and as a Junior law showed more than ordinary interest in the subject, the boys concluded to go hunting.
Last Friday evening fourteen students s tarted out in a big wagon, among whom was the enthusiast who occupied part of t the wagon seat and had a sack tied around his neck.
They found a good location for game about three miles from town, where there was a ditch the banks of which were overgrown with tall grass.
A half mile from the road one boy was placed with a sack. The victim was taken some distance up the ditch where he was stationed. Lying down, he held the sack open. A brightly burning lantern was placed on the ground—ostensibly so the snipe could see, really to keep him from seeing, for the night was moonlight. Then the remainder of the party went out to drive snipes. They soon reached the wagon and drove to town
He told a student afterward that after he had, in the ditch for an hour or so, he went back to see if the other fellow was still holding the sack, and not finding him resolved "I'll be——if ever I go back there and hold that another half hour. It is evident he did from the fact that the lantern which was filled just before the hunt came back empty.
Early the next morning the "setter" arrived in Lawrence carrying the sack and the lantern.
PROF. DUNSTON'S WEDDING GIFT
Pharmacy Students Played a Joke but!!
Was on These moves.
The Junior pharmacy students gave Professor Dunston a wedding present. It was a green lap robe and they spread it over his desk like a table cover.
Professor Dunston came to class, and when he saw the gift he acknowledged its receipt by a pretty little speech. Then he dismissed class and gave the boys a vacation.
Of course the boys had meant it as a joke, but the professor appeared to take it seriously. Then the boys felt sheepish and gathered on the steps of the physics building and asked each other what they had better do.
Then they marched down town and bought a table cover, -a real one. When Professor Dunston wasn't looking they took away the lap robe and put the new cover in its place. The professor took it home to his wife and it now decorates his parlor table.
Boone is one of the half backs of the Beta fraternity team and was making a run down the field when the accident occurred. He followed too closely to his interference and the elbow of one of his frat brothers came in contact with his eye with the above uncomfortable result. The bruise, while painful, is not serious. The eye is now bandaged.
Dan Boone Hurt.
While practicing on the football field at Saturday afternoon Dan Boone received in injury in the shape of a black eye.
The young men present assisted in the preparation of the dinner and considerable amusement was afforded by their efforts at cooking.
The Misses Harriet and Elizabeth Ayres very pleasantly entertained a few friends at a course dinner, Monday evening.
Besides the Misses Ayres there were present Miss Maxwell, Mr. John Nicholson, Mr. E. E. Voigts, and Mr. J. M. Cloys.
The Boys Helped Cook Dinner.
For a second time he has gone home. It is not believed by his friends in Lawrence that his illness will be serious.
IT IS IOWA'S TURN NEXT.
John Francis is quite ill with a fever at his home in Allen county. He has been out of school for about a week.
John Francis Ill.
Mr. Francis was ill with intermittent fever and compelled to go home a number of weeks ago but after a few days' rest he returned to school, apparently in better health.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE GREAT
GAME NEXT SATURDAY.
VOL V. NO.7.
The Team at Glacico Today.—M. U. Wins
a Game—General Athletic Notes.
What will probably prove to be the hottest game of the year will be played on McCook field next Saturday afternoon when Bert Kennedy's men will fight the Iowa State University team.
The Iowa aggregation is a team of strong players. This was proven last week when they defeated Northwestern at Chicago. The score was 12 to 6.
In preparation for the big contest of next week the Kansas players have been doing some unusually hard practice. The eleven which will meet Iowa will probably be the strongest that ever represented K. U.
Iowa is no longer in the inter-state league, having withdrawn last year. Unusual interest attaches to the coming game, however, as its result will practically decide the championship of the middle west.
An immense crowd will attend the game. The students are exhibiting an unusual amount of enthusiasm.
TO HOLD A MASS MEETING.
On next Friday, the day preceding the game, a mass meeting of students will be held in the University auditorium. It will be called to order at 11:45 o'clock and addresses will be made by some of the best known citizens of Lawrence.
Judge Norton, the Hon. S. A. Riggs and Judge J. W. Green will all be asked to speak and they will urge the students to turn out and yell at the great game.
Every person registered in any department of the University and every member of the faculty should attend the mass meeting.
There are a great many formerly-of-K. U. men at Kansas City and they will come up in a body to see the Iowa game.
ALUMNI WILL BE HERE.
The Kansas men at Kansas City have formed an alumni organization and expect soon to have 150 members. Their officers are as follows: Dr. E. S. Blair, president; R. R. Whitman, secretary; and W. E. Higgins, treasurer.
ROCK WALL COULD NOT PREVAIL
The Warrensburg Star Says Good Words for the Kansas Flayers.
The members of the Warrensburg football team were highly pleased with the treatment they received in Lawrence last Saturday, especially at the hands of the Kansas players.
When they went home, they told their friends about it and this is what the Star, the leading newspaper of Warrensburg says about it:
Kansas won the game by magnificent team work, which only comes with constant practice and professional coaching. She won by trick plays which our boys had never seen or heard of before, and a series of Pennsylvania tandem plays which even a rock wall could not prevail against.
Our boys are enthusiastic in the praise of their treatment at the hands of the Jay-hawkers. A "whiter" set of fellows never existed, they say, and they hope to meet them again on the gridiron. They returned home Sunday morning.
To Entertain for the Bride.
The last social company to be given in honor of Miss Grace Colwell and Mr. Clyde W. Miller, who are to be married on Wednesday evening, will take place on Monday evening.

FOR THE WOMAN'S EDITION.
Great Interest Manifested by the Young Ladies.
The young women of the University met in mass meeting Thursday noon to further the arrangements for the great Woman's edition of the WEEKLY, to be published November 13.
Miss Shellabarger, the business manager,
called the meeting to order and Miss Hickey, the editor in chief, stated briefly
the needs of this up to date enterprise.
An urgent invitation was extended to every young woman in the University to write, illustrate and work for the issue of November 13.

The Schumann Concert.
But the young man who, by the way, is a pretty young man, went to the window and dropped out.
His collar and dignity were both somewhat wrathful, but otherwise he was none the worse for his experience.
The orchestra is composed exclusively f artists and the program they gave was most heartily enjoyed and called for most enthusiastic applause.
