FISCHERS'
Undoubtedly the best high-class comedy presentation of the season, will be the night of Thursday March 9, when "The Rivals" will be presented, with Joseph Jefferson, Jr., and William W. Jefferson and their "all star" east at Bowersock opera house. Joseph Jeff rson took up Sheridan's "Rivals" in 1876 and altered and condensed it to meet the requirements of modern theatre-goers who, as he explains, had become adverse to abundant dialogue unless it reveals plot and who demand entertainment for the eye rather than for the ear. The production met with success and in '76 was invited to produce it with the other great plays at the big Dramatic Festival in Cincinnati. Mr. Jefferson has been playing Bob Acres over twenty-five years.
CHAMBER CONGERT.
The next Chamber Music Concert will be given Thursday, March 16, at the Presbyterian church. The admission for the three remaining concerts will be $100. A rate of 75 cents has been made to the students. Single admission will be 50 cents, students 35 cents. Seats will be on sale at the check stand.
The two-headed calf which was received at the University some days ago from Rising Sun, Kans., has been brought to the museum, where the skeleton will be cleaned and mounted and placed on exhibition.
The Glee Club will go to Paola in a week or two to give a concert. It was planned to give the concert there some weeks ago, but the widespread prevalence of small pox caused a postponement of the date. Other concerts will probably be given in the near future.
STATE GRATORICAL CONTEST.
W. J. Broadie Formerly of the University, Won First Place.
---
The State Oratorical Contest was held this year at Wichita, and M. E. Broadie, a former University student and debater, now of Southwest Kansas College, took first place, Ludwig Katterfield of Washburn, second, and E. E. R. Fey of Baker, third place. Fairmount and Southwestern Kansas students turned the fun before the oratory began. The "scrap" varied from that of former contests only in that it took place inside instead of outside the building. Fairmount started it by planting their pennants in the faces of the Winfield students from the platform of the Auditorium. The students from Winfield resented the insult and attempted to silence the Fairmount rooters, and it seems made quite a success of it, though they lost their own colors during the melee. After it was over, the inventory showed: forty-two footlights broken, several pieces of scenery marred, "The Shadow Song," that was to have been rendered by a Winfield lady, despoiled so that it hardly left a shadow, the large drop curtain badly damaged, and, incidentally, several eyes.
In the face of all these exciting times, Kansas can well afford to be a smiling and satisfied outsider.
FRESHMAN MEET.
An athletic contest will be held by the freshman class in the gymnasium on Friday, March 10, at 3:30 p.m. The events will be, high jump, fifteen yard dash, pole vault, high and low hurdles, rope climb, fence vault, and shot put. The purpose of this contest is to establish a freshman record. All the boys of the class are urged to be present and to take part in the contest in order to make it a success.

TRACK NEWS.

NEWS FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES.
Of 150 Filipinos now studying in American colleges, only six are in the South, and they are at the University of Tennessee. William A Sutherland, who has charge of all these Filipinos, found the six were not cordially receiued by the white students, though not ostracized. He does not believe any more will be sent south.

The University of Chicago has established a new department called the Institute of Social Science and Arts. Its aim is to provide training in philanthropic and social work. Students will visit charitable, correctional and social institutions in the city. The whole idea of the new department is to aid in civil and industrial reform.
The honorary system may be instituted in the Missouri State University. It is left to the student's honor that he will not attempt to cheat at examinations. Each student makes a pledge that he will uphold the system. The honorary system has been in force at Princeton for some time and has proved a success at that institution. If this system be placed in the Missouri University, the outcome will be looked forward to with interest. Should it prove to be a success, then, no doubt, some of the sister states will follow Missouris' example.
Waseda University, Japan, has challenged Stanford University to a game of baseball to be played probably in San Francisco. The Standford athletics have welcomed the challenge and are trying to arrange additional games for the visitors with California University.' It is modestly explained that Waseda University has won the intercollegiate championship on the Japanese diamond, and wishes to test its skill against American talent. The Stanford men are not over confident, for it is a fact that on last Fourth of July, the Yokohoma nine, composed of Americans, and most of them old collegians, met a team of Tokio students. The chunky little men from Tokio played ball so deftly and nimply and daintily that when the smoke cleared the husky and confident Americans found themselves beaten to the tune of twenty-six runs for Nippon and six for U. S. A.

Otis B. Thayer and Gertrude Bondhill are the names that head the list of a familiar cast that is to produce the pastoral comedy drama, "Sweet Clover" which will be the offering at the Bowersock opera house on Saturday, March 11. An intensely dramatic production fully equipped with all special scenery is promised. The play begins on a Cor-
necticut farm and for two acts moves to the city and ends again at its rural place of birth. The play has never been seen here and is said to be rather pretentious for an outlying theatre,
