Fourteen men have trained hard for the Missouri meet Saturday and will do their best to bury their defeat in Convention Hall.
As Baker lost to the State Normal the same week that we won by the score of ten to one the umpire of course was at fault—the same umpire.
The management of the May Musical Festival this year has made a special offer to students by which they may see the entertainment for one dollar instead of the usual dollar and a half. A pledge has been placed at the check stand and if by means of the names signed, three hundred admissions are guaranteed, any student will be admitted for one dollar.
This opportunity should not be allowed to pass for the Annual May Festival is a musical of the first class and can be appreciated by University students.

We regret that Kansas University is unable to have representatives in inter-collegeiate tennis tournaments.
In a school of fourteen hundred students it would seem strange that a few courts could not be provided for their use. In schools where University Tennis Clubs are in existence, more students indulge in this sport than in any other. In the Chicago University paper it was stated that there were only thirteen courts on the campus and that such a few was inadequate to the schools needs.
A number of prominent business men of Lawrence have signed a pledge giving different sums for the payment of the fine of $50 which was imposed on W. D. DeGeer for discharging fireworks on Massachusetts street.
They also adopted many generous resolutions exempting DeGeer from blame and extending to him their sympathy. The attitude of the town people in regard to the arrest of the young men who participated in last fall's celebration, is praiseworthy and shows their correct understanding of the actions of the University students. We believe that in extending our thanks and gratitude to these gentlemen we are voicing the sentiment of the whole student body.
A GREAT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.
Suppose each student in the University has enough books when piled upon one another to amount to four inches in thickness, and that there are 1500 students in the University the total height of the books if piled in the middle of the street would be 500 feet, or more than twice the height of Mount Oread.
If placed edge to edge there would be 2500 feet, and end to end, 3500 feet or enough to go around the campus, nearly 2/3 of a mile.
If each sheet is 5 inches across and there is a total of 500 sheets each student has 2500 inches of paper 7 inches wide, an aggregate of 62 miles. Placed end to end there would be 83 miles 5 inches wide or enough to reach to Kansas City and back.
If their are 35 four inch line to the page and 1000 pages each student carries up the hill every day 11,750 feet of printed matter, and all together have 3,314 miles of it, enough to reach from San Francisco to New York and three hundred miles into the ocean.
If each student writes 1 sheet of theme paper each day his pen point travels thirty feet. In four school years the pens of all travel 9204 miles, more than one third of the distance around the world.

Oor many a rough and stony place?
Do I not owe the patient beast
A debt of gratitude at least?

About twenty men who are interested in tennis met last Friday and decided that a tournament with Missouri this year is impossible.
Any team that represents the school in tennis has to have the official sanction of the Athletic Board.
As there are so few courts in town and no permanent tennis club, it was decided to let the matter drop until next fall.
