The death of George Eyre on Friday night was of unusual sadness. His parents were in California when he took ill and because of delays by snowstorms in the mountains, were not permitted to see their son alive. Eyre was a quiet fellow and not very well known outside of his own classes, but all who knew him speak in high praise of his character.
On Monday night the debating contest which decides who will represent Kansas in the inter-state debates this year, will be held in the chapel. The boys who appear that night have made a careful study of the question on which they will speak, and besides the enthusiasm of the contest, the information to be gained on an economic subject is of no small consequence.
There is a great temptation to the politically inclined University student to mix in the city ejections, regardless of the fact of their non-residence. The Chancellor placed the matter in its proper light when he pointed out the inconsistency of such actions in young men who are being trained for leaders of the state. Certainly, students who are of age and have been in residence at the University during the year have a technical right to register and vote at the elections of the city. But the fact remains that when a student yields to the solicitations of a local politician, he becomes a party to the system of graft and corruption which he is taught to abhor.
--center of University life. The only recommendation of it on McCook field would be its nearness to the athletic grounds, and the objections are numerous, it would be so tar that trips to it could not be made between classes also the athletic field probably will not always be where it is now. The ideal location as a member of the faculty stated it the other day is west of the shops. There will be the University buildings fifty years hence; along there will run the inter-urban street car line; to the southwest a short distance is an ideal location for a football and baseball field; the land is a natural amphitheatre from which you can step upon the level, and finally it it near the furnaces so that the water for the baths would not be cooled in a long journey.
The location of the new gym is a matter of great importance to the future student body. The three locations most spoken of at present are, north of the museum, on or near McCook field, and west of the shops. The first site is most convenient at present, but the University will build wholly to the west in the future and then the gym would be on the outskirts instead of in the

At Iowa the sorrority girls are, going to give an annual spring party at which men will be tabooed. It has not been decided how the escort will be recognized but it is thought that sending of flowers, ordering the carriage, and carrying the slip per bag will be the per-requisites.
If the sophomores want to start something real entertaining they might shear the heads of a few freshmen, like they did at Michigan.
If Dr. Naismith wants to become famous he should institute a course of Jiu-Jitsu in his department.
Harleigh Benson was on the hill Friday with his smile and Shamrock. There is one day in the year he is supremely happy and that is when he is "wearin' of the green."
It is reported that our inimitable friend J. B. Wilson of the imortal class of '04 has taken unto himself a wife. It is up to Myron Humphrey, Shorty Metcalf and Dusty Rhodes now.
In the early morning with blanched and anxious faces, they
gathered their cohorts within the angle of protecting stone walls. "Will they do it, dare they do it," in whispers was asked on every hand. The sentry reported that the enemy was in sight. Ah! then there was trembling and hurrying to and tro. Ne'er be it said their courage failed; with muttered curses and "Sic Semper Tyranius," they struck, they conquered, and he was king no more.
Harleigh Benson of last year's law class is a candidate for Police Judge. The latest reports say that he has the Irish votes solid.

THIRD CHAMBER CONCERT.
The third of the course of five Chamber Music Concerts to be given by the school of Fine Arts occurred last Thursday evening at the Frasbyterian church. In spite of the rainy weather there was a fair audience in attendance and at the close of the entertainment each one congratulated himself on having braved the weather.
Mr. Elmer Harley a pianist of Kansas City and Mrs. Helen Hutchings DeMers a contralto singer from Chicago contributed very largely to the evening's enjoyment, while Prof. Wylie of the University added to his musical reputation by his several classic and difficult selections.
The most pleasing numbers were:Beethoven, Second Sonata for Violin and Piano, Prof, Wylie and Mr. Harley; Moszkowski, Moment Musicale in C sharp minor, Mr. Harley; Green, Sing Mu to Sleep, Mrs. DeMers.
The fourth concert of this course will occur April 6, and Mrs. Mary Wood Chase the celebrated pianist of Chicago, will probably be one of the performers.
