THE EDITORIALS written by the associate editorial writer last week were of such excellence that the editor could well retire in favor of his associate.
THE CONGRESSIONAL convention in Lawrence this week attracted many students politically inclined, from their studies.
BEGINNING WITH next week a serial editorial will be published in the WEEKLY outlining the four prominent types of students in our University.
A BASE-BALL game with a Leavenworth team will be played on McCook field to-morrow afternoon. A special train will come from Leavenworth.
SOME OF the boating crews that are practicing faithfully every day are beginning to row a mile in a scientific manner and in a creditable time. If they continue to improve until the annual boat races occur as they have done the past month some, close and exciting races will result.
ALTHOUGH ARTHUR McMurray took last place in the Kansas-Nebraska debate through devoting too much time to a rebuttal of Mr. Weaver's argument, his speech was the most popular one of the evening. Mr. Guyer deserves great credit for tieing Mr. Weaver for third place.
THE GAME of base-ball which occured last Saturday on McCook field between the University nine and one from Ottawa was more like a chance game between the Freshmen and Sophomores. Errors were abundant. In fact it seemed as if each team was trying to excel the other in making the greatest number of errors. If our nine expects to play base-ball with first class teams this year and win occasionally, it must play far better ball than it did last Saturday.
