There is a rumor afloat that Mr. Edgar Green, the plucky half back, went to Denver and got married. Mr. Green was not present for his "K" on Monday night. Here's luck to "Eddie." One thing that would greatly improve the appearance of the Campus would be vitrified brick or macadamized drive-ways. The drive-way between the Spooner Library and the Museum of Natural History at present is a discredit to the University. The drive-way in front of Fraser Hall is also a poor one. If these drive ways were paved and curbed, as well as the others about the different buildings, a visitor driving over the grounds would be more impressed with the University. The present gymnasium is a discredit to the people of Kansas and to the University. Everything is crowded into half the space it should occupy. Two men are given a locker about the size of a lunch basket. Their clothes are wrinkled and soiled. The men are forced to work in a small room which is so crowded that those who play basketball ball are often injured by falling over apparatus, or against the racks that are standing about the room. Men and women use the same gymnasiums, the women in the forenoon and the men in the afternoon. What we need is two large combination rooms with plenty of space for indoor games. There is not as much interest taken in the track team as there should be at K. U. Only a small part of the men of the University ever go out and compete for a place on the track team. In the large colleges of the East it is regarded as great an honor to break a track record as it is to win a foot ball game. To train for a track meet takes as much time and effort as to train for a foot ball game and the track men should receive due honor. Then more men shouldtry t or the places. The track offers opportunities to every man large or small, to gain honor for himself and his University but it offers special advantages to the small man who is excluded from the other sports on account of his size. Some of the best athletes that have ever been turned out of K.U. had very poor physiques when they first came, but by perseverance and hard training they were able to develop into fine athletes. The men who intend to try for the track, should not wait until Spring to begin training, but should commence at once by doing gymnasium work and by practicing the sprints on the running course west of the University. This year the long distance runners got much benefit from the cross country runs, and next year there is no reason why there should not be a full track meet some time during the Fall. Undoubtedly this would bring out much new material and would have a great influence on the result of the indoor track meet with Missouri, which is held too early each year to allow much time for out door training.

Herbert of Chicago one of the prominent men of the National Editorial Association, some time during the month o December. K. U.Football pictures at Semple's Oysters in all styles at Vic's.

Two other men have been engaged to deliver lectures some time during January; C. M. Harger, editor of the Abilene Reflector and Del Valentine, editor of the Clay Center Times. These lectures are open to all students of the University. Fresh Oysters by the quart or dish, at Wiedeman's. Shelley won the gold medal by being original in posing and general effect.

Many of the newly elected members of the Dramatic Club are experiencing much difficulty in satisfying the entrance requirements for the Club. A student is not eligible to membership if he has a condition in any study, the rule being similar to that of the Athletic Association concerning scholarship. Many of the new members are deficient in Physical training and are thus ineligible for membership. A committee has been appointed with Professor Abbott as chairman to look up the matter of revising the rules. WANTED.
