PICK DEBATERS
PRELIMINARIES BEGIN MON-DAY.
Societies to Choose Representatives This Week—Baker Working Hard.
In order to get the debating squads at active work the Debating Council has instructed the literary societies of the University to select their representatives not later than Monday of next week. Each society is allowed to send six men to the general squad.
The first of the series of preliminaries will be held Monday before Dr. Burdick in his class room in Green Hall at 12:15. Dr. Burdick will divide the squad into three sections, and will hear one section on Monday, one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday at 12:15. Professor Becker, the second judge, will meet all the contestants at 4:30 on Tuesday, in the lecture room of Green Hall. Prof. Hodder will meet all the debaters at 4:30 Wednesday in room 14, Frazer Hall.
The Baker question will be debated in the preliminaries, and each speaker will be given five minutes on whichever side of the question he chooses. The question is: "Resolved: That the South Americans should be free to accept or reject the Monroe Doctrine." The men who win in these preliminaries will constitute the squad from which the teams will be finally selected.
Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty in his divine wisdom to take from among us our loved and esteemed class-mate, Lawrence J. Biggs, be it
The preliminary debates this year have been entirely under the control of a committee chosen by the council. The members are C.A. Spencer, R.C McCormick and Fred Zook, and they were given authority to draft regulations for the preliminaries and to arrange for judges for all the trial debates. The council is rushing the preparations as much as possible, as the debates will occur in about ten weeks, and it is desired to allow as much time as possible for preparation after the three teams are chosen.
Resolved, That in his death we have lost a true friend and loyal class-mate and the parents a noble and dutiful son; and be it further
The Baker debaters are hard at work on the Baker-Kansas question and are going to make the fight of their lives to win. A Mr. Justice who was at the University Monday, ostensibly to confer with the council about the meaning of the question, spent several hours in the library collecting material on the subject. Baker must submit her choice of sides within a week.

Resolved, That we, the Junior
class of the University of Kansas, extend our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family in their sore affliction; and be it also
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the records of the class, that a copy be sent to the parents, and that a copy be sent to the Kansan for publication.

You have always failed to get a good picture? Shelley makes it a point to see that you are satisfied before he will finish a picture. That has won the favor and business he now has.
She left behind her three sons, Ernest, George and Dave, and one daughter, Harriet; all graduates of the University. The services were conducted by Dr. Wilber, principal of the Westminster House; and the body was laid away in the Oak Hill Cemetery. Mrs. Robinson has one son, David Robinson, and a nephew, Bert Beach, yet in school.
Herbert S. Hadley, the Attorney General of Missouri, her nephew, attended the funeral.

Two Other University Graduates on Kansas Day Banquet Program.
The 45th birthday of Kansas was celebrated at Topeka Monday night by the annual Kansas Day Banquet. All day swarms of politicians from remote parts of the state gathered at the State House, and before night about 700 enthusiastic Kansans crowded the corridors of the capitol building.
Wilbur E. Broadie, of Winfield, Kansas, and now a senior law of Kansas University, brought forth the greatest demonstration of the evening when he eloquently referred to Governor Hoch with Theodore Roosevelt and Senator LaFol-

lette as leaders of the Republican party today, which represents the highest ideals of American citizenship. The demonstration interrupted the speaker until Governor Hoch arose and bowed an acknowledgment of the ovation.
Thos. E. Wagstaff, of Independence, a graduate of the University and brother of the Lawrence merchant, spoke on "The Present." John B. Wood, of the law class of 04, responded to the toast "The Republican Overflow."
Mr. Broadie's speech upon the toast "Kansas" was, in part, as follows: "Kansas has frequently been referred to as an enigma. It is needless to say that I fully agree with that proposition this evening. In whatever formula considered, Kansas has generally been the X of the equation. She has run the gamut of praise and blame for half a century. Her people, too, have been alternately the subjects of encomiums and curses. To them have been applied various epithets and nicknames, the most popular and abiding of which, be-

HEAR THE MISSOURIANS.
The Missouri Glee Club in Chapel. February 6th.
The University of Missouri Glee Club, which will appear in Frazer Hall next Tuesday evening Feb. 6, is one of the best college glee clubs in this part part of the country. It is the only musical organization at the University of Missouri that makes a tour. It is now on its sixth annual tour and has met with great success. The club this year is the best in the history of the school. Their program is full of new funny features as well as the best college glee club songs. The Missouri boys have a reputation of introducing more musical novelties and clever originalities into their program than any other Western musical organization. The club is well balanced and the voices are all far above the college glee club class. The club has been practicing daily since Thanksgiving under the direction of Prof. Fritz Krull, professor of music at the University of Missouri. Prof. Krull is a musician and leader of high culture and wide experience. He comes to the University almost directly from a lone career in Europe where he was active as conductor and singer in both grand and comic opera. Mr. Krull is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin. As a composer he has met with much genuine success. Mr. Krull is the leading soloist of the program. The Zruez Zeitung, the leading newspaper of Berlin, Germany, said of Mr. Krull, "He has not alone a big dramatic voice, but a sweet one for love songs and lullabys."
The Missouri glee club carries 21 men and comes in a special car. The Lawrence date is the only one in Kansas. The club comes here from a concert at Kansas City.
Tickets, reserved seats, for the concert will be placed on sale at Dick Bros. drug store Thursday morning.
