SANTA FE RUNS EXCURSION FOR TRACK MEET.
The K. U. Entries=-K. U. to Compete in St. Louis Meet Saturday.
Arrangements are now practically completed for the in-door meet at Kansas City, Friday night. The Kansas squad and their rooters will leave at 2 p. m. Friday on a special train over the Santa Fe. Returning, the train will leave Kansas City at 12 p. m. for Lawrence. A special rate of $1.00 has been made, good only on the K. U. special. Admission to the meet will be 50 cents, which includes reserved seats. Tickets will be held here for sale until Friday noon to accommodate the students. The number going from Lawrence promises to be larger than that at any previous meet, and Kansas will have her share of supporters.
The Kansas squad will consist of twelve, and the entries are: Captain Driscoll and Wallace in the 50-yard and 440-yard dashes, Russell and Johnson in the pole vault, Kuhn and Johnson in the high hurdles, Kuhn and Wallace in the low hurdles, Young and Parker in the high jump, Barnard in the two-mile, Priest in the mile, McCoy in the half-mile, and Putnam will put the shot. The relay team will consist of McCoy, Dennis, Wallace and Captain Driscoll With this lineup there seems to be but little doubt of Kansas pulling the victorious end.
The relay team, Putnam, and Wallace, accompanied by Manager Lansdon, will leave at 11:45 p. m., Friday, on the Alton Night Hawk for St. Louis, where they will compete against some of the best athletes of the country, in the meet at St. Louis University, Saturday night.
At noon, today, Manager Lansdon had not received any official list of entries from Missouri.
Chancellor Strong is fast regaining his strength under the regulations of the sanitarium at Wichita, where he has been for the last ten days. He is taking the medicated baths and vigorous exercise every day and his improvement is very marked.
Chancellor Is Gaining Rapidly.

FORM PARTNERSHIPS.
The Senior Laws Are Already Preparing to Get Legal Business.
This is the time of year when the senior laws are laying plans to begin practising after this year's work ends. Some have decided where they will start others are looking for locations. Some have formed partnerships among themselves to begin when school is out. Among these partnerships are the following: C. O. Pingrey and Jos. H. Sutton will be together at Kansas City, Missouri; M. N. McNaughton and W. L. Hurd, at Tonganoxie, Kansas; while J.W. Blood and Charl Stichter will try to nail legal business at El Paso, Texas. J.E. Driscoll and W. T. Clarkson will engage in the insurance business at Wilson, Kansas.
Mandolin Club Concert.
The mandolin club will give a concert under the auspices of the down town Y. M.C.A. in the new Y.M.C.A. auditorium, on Thursday, March 22. The concert will be the same as played at the University of Missouri where every number was encored and one number was answered eight times. The club was to have gone to Lincoln to play for the University of Nebraska on the spring vacation trip, but as the Mandolin and Glee club of Nebraska are to be on their trip to the Pacific coast the concert will be postponed until the middle of May. The spring vacation trip will include Leavenworth, Atchison and St. Joseph.
Glee Club Trip.
The schedule for the Glee Club trip the week of spring vacation is now complete. They will leave here Monday, March 26 giving the first concert in Holton, Kans., that night. A concert will be given at Frankfort Tuesday night, Waterville Wednesday night, Washington Thursday night, Beloit Friday night and Minneapolis Saturday night. The club will return Monday after spring vacation. Fourteen will make the trip including Prof. and Mrs. Hubach, as director and accompanist.

ANNUAL MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Will Be Given April 6 and 7----Cast of "Der Freischutz."
The annual spring music festival, which is to be given April 6 and 7, is six weeks earlier than usual, in order to avoid the rush of entertainments at commencement time. The features of the festival are the two operas "Der Freischütz" and "Parsifal," a large part of each being included.
The parts in "Der Freischütz" have been assigned as follows: Agnes, Mrs. Blanche Lyons; Annie, Miss Augusta Flintom; first bridesmaid, Miss Gertrude Russ; Rodolph, Prof. C. Edward Hubach; Caspar, Mr. John Ise; Cuno, Mr. Everett Copley; Prince Ottokar, Mr. Harry Durkee; the Hermit, Mr. Herbert Tuthill.
The University orchestra has learned the entire accompaniment of Weber's opera "Der Freischütz,"which will be given the first night of the festival. The orchestra was never in such good form as at present and their good work is winning wide recognition. The festival chorus this year numbers 100 voices, which is a much larger number than ever before; many students are included. The glee club will sing in the hunter's chorus in the opera.
New K. C.Paper.
Marvin H. Creager, Arts '04, who has been sporting editor of the Kansas City World since he graduated from K.U., will be the telegraph editor of the Kansas City Post, which commences publication today. Mr. Creager was one of the first graduates of our school of journalism and is meeting with great success in his profession.
The K. U. Post is a democratic paper and it is rumored that it is to be backed by Bernard Corrigan of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company and will therefore be hostile to the policy of the Star.
High School Would Not Change.
The fraternities of the city High School who are to give a party in F. A. A. Hall Saturday night refused to change dates with the Sophomores. The Sophomores will have to give their party on Friday night as announced, as the hall has been rented for several months.
BAKER GAME OFF.
Allen and Johnson Were Unable To Play Baker.
The basket ball game which was to have been played on next Monday night March 19, has been called off on account of the disability of several of the regular men of the Kansas University team.
"Fog" Allen, the star of the team is unable to play on account of an injured hand. Tommy Johnson is compelled to devote all his time to preparing for the Missouri-Kansas track meet and other regulars are out of condition.
It was unfortunate that the Baker game could not have been scheduled during the regular season, for the Kansas University team could not be kept in condition for three weeks after its regular schedule had been completed.
Professor Cady Speaks.
Professor H. P.Cady spoke in chapel Tuesday on the "Value of Theory in Scientific Study." He remarked that the theoretical part of science seems to be much more easily grasped than the facts upon which the theory rests.
A noticable feature of the chapel service was the attendance of Professor Cady's class in Qualitative Analysis and his address received round after round of applause from these students.
Regent White to Speak.
William Allen White, of the board of regents, will address a special meeting of the Quill Club of the University next Thursday afternoon at half past four. This will be a special open meeting and all students are invited to attend. The lecture will probably be in Room 8, Fraser Hall.
Special Kansan Rate.
The Kansan will be delivered to any address for the rest of the year for thirty-five cents. This rate is made to accommodate any who want the news during the baseball and commencement season.
Lawrence Brett spoke to the Mining Journal Tuesday on the cause and prevention of mine explosions, which he is working up for his senior thesis.
Chas. Heuser, C. E.'04, now a contracting engineer of Hutchison, visited this week at the Phi Delt house.
