The Missouri Independent concedes that the Indoor Meet is a doubtful proposition, but thinks Missouri should win "by a small margin."
It is but common fairness to the Sophomore Party Committee to state that their action in giving their class party next Friday night was a choice between a conflict with the Indoor Meet and a mid-week party. The statement in the last issue of the Kansan was based on the supposedly authentic information that the date could have been changed to a Saturday night. Under the circumstances the committee was more unfortunate than blamable.
From all present indications, the Indoor Meet at Kansas City Friday night promises to be the beginning of a new epoch in University track athletics. Never have our chances for victory been so good, nor the determination of the track team been so marked. If the boys do not win they are going to make somebody work mighty hard for a victory. The excursion rate this year is unusually low, and a correspondingly large number of students and faculty should take advantage of the opportunity and go with the team. The University band has been practising for several weeks and will help stir up the enthusiasm of the crowd. Show your confidence in the team by your presence and your encouragement. All aboard for Kansas City!
The Minnesota Daily has this to say about encouragement of literary work there: Today, after more than thirty years of history, there is just about the same provision for literary societies as at the beginning of the institution—that is to say, none at all. There is not a single room or attic about the University which they can call their own. Bundled about here and there, first in this recitation room, then in that, the wonder is, not that their work is of a
lower grade than it should be, but that they do any work at all.
Much of it could be said with equal truth of Kansas. It is unavoidable here just at present, on account of the crowded condition of all the buildings. But could not adequate provision be made for the future accomodation of literary work in the University?
The Daily Maroon, the official publication of the University of Chicago is resting under a charge of making two thousand dollars a year in profits. Prominent students have demanded an investigation of its methods.

Rolled In The Mud.
W. E. Broadie of Kansas Day fame was ignominiously maltreated at Ottawa the other n.ght. While attending the state oratorical contest with a party of Baker students he was mistaken by the Ottawa supporters for a Baker man and in company with the others of the party was given a coat of sticky mud by being rolled in the streets of Ottawa.

A pedagogue does not lead a very exciting life as a rule, neither does he lay up for himself great wealth. However, his profession has some pleasures, substantial and otherwise. "Much that I am, and all that I have received in the way of inspiration and encouragement, I owe to Uncle Jimmy Green," said a Law alumnus. Those are the things that help to make the teacher's profession worth while.

Kansas-Missouri Indoor Meet.
Sumner Won the Game.
The Sumner county club beat Dickinson county in a fast baseball game on McCook Saturday by a score of 4 to 1. Notwithstanding the cold weather a fair article of ball was played and the few spectators were well satisfied. Waring did the twirling for Dickinson and Angney for Sumner. Three hits were made on the former while Angney only allowed two. Both sides deserved only one score, as Sumner's four points were made on errors. Waring struck out thirteen men to Angney's eight.
Senior Party Well Attended.
The senior party given in F. A.A.Hall Friday evening was one of the most successful of the entire social season.The Newhouse orchestra of six pieces furnished the music for the program of twenty dances and fully sixty couples were present. This was the second party given by the class this year.
Professor Hoad talked to the civil engineers Friday afternoon about his visit to St. Joseph. Mr. Hoad was one of a company of twenty engineers who were guests of the Jackson Sewer Company of that city. They inspected among other things some interesting forms of river dikes and sewer and sewer construction.
"Where are you going my pretty maid?"
"I'm going to college, sir," she said."
"Then you'll learn a lot about Greek this fall."
But she answered him haughtily: "Not at all, I'm taking jiu jitsu and basketball."
The sophomores at Michigan have adopted an official "Soph" hat. It is to be red with a white band, or white with a red band, according to the taste of the wearer. The Michigan Daily hails the new "lid" as one of signs of spring.
