SHELLEY... RATES TO SENIORS. One Free For the Annual.
FRESHMEN TO PLAY.
The freshmen base ball men have begun practice on McCook field and will have a very strong nine. There are many of the freshmen who are trying for the 'Varsity team and when that team is picked the remaining men will be organized. The freshman who is trying for pitcher on the 'Varsity nine is Charles Hoffman.
Balinger and U. G. Angney are catchers, Young and Ward are first basemen, B. Gates and H. H. Angney are trying for second base, and Kohman with E. Gates hold third. Van Cleave and Cook are trying for short stop.
There are a score of other men who should be on the field soon. It is probable that games will be played with the Central high school at Kansas City, two with Ft. Scott, and other high schools near at hand.
PHARMACY DANCE.
The Pharmacy students held their March dance in Everett hall last night. Forty couples enjoyed the evening by dancing to the music of Sommer's orchestra last evening in Everett hall. The music was especially suited to a spring party and the eighty students who were present. The next party will be held in the Fraternal Aid hall, April 14th,

and the music will be the best that can be obtained.

TO BREAK RECORD.
The track men this year have a fine chance to win "K's." The three methods by which a man may win the mark in track events are; by breaking a record on McCook field, by winning an inter-collegiate event, or by making 350 points in the pentathalon.
This gives many chances to win distinction. The mile record here is only 4 min. 59 sec., and Driscol, Groene, Barnard, Lucky and Finch are getting in form to shorten the time. Every afternoon the denoters of this strenuous sport emerge from the gym, at five o'clock and run a mile cross country course.
As they have not yet tried for speed it cannot be predicted how they will succeed, but the very spirit in which they are working is a sure forecast of success. Ackerman will probably break the record for shot put in a very short time as he is able to put the shot nearly forty feet in practice.
When planning for a group Photo see Squires for samples and prices.
THE PICTURES OF THE CAST OF THE DRAMATIC CLUB'S PLAY ..."THE COMFORT'S OF HOME"... Will be on exhibition at Starkweather's Shoe Store and at Woodward's Drug Store until Tuesday. They, as usual WERE MADE BY SQUIRES.
DEATH OF DR. H. B. PRESCOTT.
Memorial exercises for the late Dr. H. B. Prescott of Ann Arbor, were held at the University last Friday afternoon.
Prof. Sayre spoke on the personality of Dr. Prescott, Prof. Barber on his scientific contributions and Mr. Havenhill and Mr. Emerson on Prof. Prescott as a teacher from an alumnae standpoint.
A. B. Clarke, 95, formerly manager of Dr. M. S. McCrught's drug store of Oskaloosa, Kansas is now interested in a local telephone exchange at Winchester.
Prof. Prescott, who was Dean of the Medical and Pharmacy Department at Ann Arbor for many, years was always very much interested in the work in that department done at Kansas University and in fact was the means by which the Kansas University got some of its best medical instructors.
Thus far remittances for dues have been coming in steadily. However, the tendancy to slow up has been very noticeable of late, and the corresponding secretary has concluded to send out another circular letter in the near future to those who are still in arrears.
C. E. Moller, '04, of Erie, Kansas, has finished his school teaching and will take a position with W. D. Webb, a prominent druggist of St. Joseph, Missouri.

THE JUNIOR—FRESHMAN PARTY.
The Junior—Freshman party will be given Friday, March 10th, in the Fraternal Aid hall. This party will be one of the most interesting parties this season for two reasons. First, it will be a joint affair by the Juniors and Freshmen, and will be the first of that kind ever given here. Second, it will be for Juniors and Freshmen exclusively. It is rumored that the Sophomores intend to prevent or at least hinder this party as much as possible. But no matter what Dame Rumor says nor what the Sophomores do, it is generally believed that the party will be given at the proper time and place.
A FRESHMAN.

Curtis McCoy, the freshman engineer who was operated on fot appendicitis two weeks ago, has almost recovered and will be well enough to be moved in about a week. His father and mother, who have been with him since the operation, returned home to Hiawatha Saturday, but will come back and take their son home as soon as possible. McCoy will return to the University next year.
BAILEY IN OLD TIME FORM.
The track team has begun final practice on the track. The practice on the weights, the high jump and pole vault are practiced in the gym, but the sprinters, hurdlers and long distance men work out doors on the track. Commons, McCoy and Finch are doing the best work on the sprints, although there are a dozen men who may equal them in the next two weeks. Bailey took the long distance men out for training and taught them many valuable lessons in the art of long distance running. He took a dozen of the most promising men and started on a mile run. In starting all of them urged him to go faster. By the time a half mile had been run they were strung out like a band of Indians on the war path and when the three quarters had been reached nearly everyone had dropped out of the race. At the finish, Bailey and J.G. Barnard came in alone. The ten men who dropped out were standing at he start making excuses about their shortness of breath. Bailey was still fresh although he had made the mile in five minutes. It happened that none of the cross-country men were in the race. The next two weeks will tell whether Kansas will have other mile men than than those who run the cross-country runs last fall. Manager Plank intends to take twelve men to represent Kansas at the indoor meet and these twelve men will be picked only a day before the meet.
X. Y. Z. MEETING.
The X. Y. Z. debating society held the most interesting meeting of the year last night, in its club room in Fraser Hall. A lively parliamentary sparring match on the proposition of an oil refinery opened the program. Next came the debate on the question of the open shop. Frank Tyler, Samuel Bartlett, and John Bender spoke in favor of the maintenance of the open shop; O. L. Coleman, Roy Douglas and Wilbur Lapham upheld the trade unions in their demand for a closed shop.
X. Y. Z. had five men in the debating try-outs and landed four of them on the regular debating squad.
"ABSENT MEMBERS' " MEETING.
The members of the Quill club had an "absent member's" day at their meeting last Tuesday. The very excellent program was prepared entirely by Miss Lulu Gardner of the English department.
