WHAT has become of the pennants won by the University in the games of the Triangular League? They were once prettily arranged on the walls in the Treasurer's office but now have disappeared. The last,heard of them they had been on exhibition in Browning, King & Co.'s store at Kansas City and then displayed for a long time in the Beta Chapter house. Where are they now?
Much enthusiasm will be shown at the state oratorical contest at Topeka. If the University wins first place the capital city will not be large enough to hold us.
Some students seem to think that putting their feet on the table, tilting back their chairs and spitting on the floor are accomplishments, and show to advantage in a public library. Such conduct is disgraceful.
If another word pronouncing contest is to be held in the University this year, would it not be well for the proper authorities to make the necessary arrangements and announcements in the near future. The contest of last year was profitable to all concerned.
.
LAWRENCE should be deserted for Topeka next Friday evening by all students. If eight or nine hundred students accompany our orator to Topeka, he will undoubtedly win and the same number would then have reason to attend the inter-state contest which also occurs in Topeka this year.
THE discovery by Professor Roentgen, of Berlin, that the human skeleton within a living body, coins within leather purses or metals behind wooden blocks can be photographed by means of the light produced by a Crooke's tube has recieved practical demonstration at Harvard and at the University of Michigan.
The moot senate should be reorganized this year. A knowledge of parliamentary law, so essential to the public man, can not be so readily obtained in literary societies as in a moot senate. If some student would agitate for the organization of such a body, no difficulty would be encountered in securing names of prospective members.
