The difficulty in the choice of judges for the Kansas-Missouri debate which was to have been held tonight, was nothing but an over-zealous suspicion on the part of Missouri that somebody was trying to do them. Such a setiment and such a spirit in matters of this kind are unworthy of such an institution as the University of Missouri should be. The debating management showed the same spirit last year in the choice of judges, and Kansas had to start to Columbia for the debate with only two judges. This they did as the only way to keep from calling off the debate, and then after the contest, in which the Missourians were fairly beaten, the Independent came out in a lurid editorial, accusing Kansas of unfairness, and even hinted at a stolen victory. In the matter this year, Kansas gave everything in reason and still Missouri was not satisfied. They refused to accept a Kansas City man as a judge whom they had proposed, because the Kansas men had gotten in an indirect way, by telephone the information that he would serve. When the other men proposed by Missouri, could not act, Kansas offered to have the man chosen from our list and Kansas City judge referred to choose the other judge. This Missouri refused to do and would not leave Columbia until all the judges were chosen from the list they had submitted, not another of whom could serve. What Missouri needs is a debating council with proper appreciation of the dignity which a state institution should have. The only trouble that exists is in the morbidly suspicious minds of their student council.
Nearly three hundred young men and women will receive degrees from the University of Kansas this year, and will scatter over the state to take up their share of the work of citizenship. They will do their part, there is no doubt of that, and the doing of it is the only advertising that the University needs. If they show, by their attitude toward things, the fruit of the time spent on Mt. Oread, the purpose of it all is fulfilled, and others will follow.
It Didn't Stop.
A couple of gallant young men, prominent in the university started out to Haskell the other day to see a ball game, and to meet a couple of equally well known Baker ladies, who had been seeing the sights at the Haskell Indian school. They were walking on the Santa Fe tracks, and "hopped a freight train, thinking to get off at the Haskell station. The train stopped a mile beyond Blue Mound, and it was dark when the strays got to Haskell. The girls had disappeared, strange to say.
Gets Bryn Mawr Fellowship.
May Clark, of the graduate school, who has held the fellowship in European History in the University this year, has been awarded a $600 fellowship in History at Bryn Mawr for next year. The fellowship was secured largely by the excellence of Miss Clark's M.A. thesis on the "Lords of Trade" which was sent to Bryn Mawr.
Chicago Cuts Michigan Game.
The athletic authorities of Chicago University have decided to cut the Thanksgiving game with Michigan from their schedule, and have asked Michigan to release them from the contract for the next year. The reason given is that the proper spirit does not exist between the two institutions and that the annual game only makes the condition worse.
The photographs taken by Loomas have a certain originality that is pleasing.

Some Lay Opinions. (Told by the guide.)
Guiding Sunday School people over the campus has its amusing side along with the other things.
"Are you the guide? Well we want to see that liquified airing machine. Oh is this it. Well it's boiling isn't it. Now how much colder would it have to be to make ice?" This came from the tall angular woman, who was taking notes for future use.
"Do you know William Hinkle? You don't! Well that's funny. He's a specialist. He said he enrolled as a special, but I forgot what in."
By this time a crowd of forty elderly ladies surrounded the guide.
"Oh isn't it grand up here! Such a magnificent hill. What an inspiration! The very poetry of nature. Everything so lovely! Oh young man you have a wonderful opportunity, and let me impress on you, every moment ought to be of use to you."
"Are you a student?" asked one. Well! and a guide too! Hurry up Lizzie! here's the guide."
The young man gazed thoughtfully at North Hollow where "the other fellow" was entertaining "the girl," and—thought so too.
"And this is really the Museum! Well! Isn't it beautiful! Do they get all these things in Kansas?"
"Yes Ma'am" cheerfully replied the guide. "One of the most interesting things about this exhibit is the natural spring you see trickling down the rocks" he continued.
"Oh is it natural! Lizzie do come here and see this real spring bubbling down the cute little mountain. What song of joy."
"What time is it, please? 4:30! My gracious, we must hurry. We're going to Haskell. We're much obliged."
The young man fell over on the campus and grinned as he turned his watch back half an hour.
