The students of the University should attend the dedication in large numbers tomorrow. The event does not alone interest the engineers, it interests all students and all well-wishers of the University. The completion of the engineering plant marks an epoch in the history of this school. One hundred out-of-town guests, all of whom are engineering teachers or followers of the engineering profession, will be at the University tomorrow. The students should make it plain to the visitors that they appreciate the new buildings.
"Tommy" Johnson and his basket-ball tossers took four falls out of the Tigers, and the last victory on the Tiger stamping ground, was the most decisive of them all. It seems as though "Tommy" was trying to rub it in. It was sweet, sweet revenge.
GIRLS GAVE A DANCE
It May Lead to Revival of Barb Girls' Party.
A unique valentine dance was given by a number of the University girls Saturday night at Ecke's hall. About fifty couples were present. The out-of-town guests were: Misses Virginia Bradley, Nina Cushing, Louise Leonard, Frances Sheldon, Mary Sheldon, Hazel Harbour, Florence Cook, Frida Deitrich, and Mr. Earnest Skofstad, of Kansas City, Mo.; Misses Alicia and Lucy McNaughton, of Tonganoxie, Miss Blanche Millis and Willard Wattles of Leavenworth; Cadet Colvin and Miss Marion Manley of Junction City, and Miss Beth Harrison of Jewell City.
This is the first time for several years that an entertainment on such a large scale has been attempted by an unorganized group of University girls. The success of this dance may lead to the revival of the former annual Barb girls' party.

KIMBALL TO JOURNALISTS.
Told of Getting and Keeping a Newspaper Job.
Mr. C. W. Kimball of Kansas City spoke to the class in journalism this morning on the subject of "Getting a job."
Mr. Kimball started by saying that when, after a hard struggle, the newspaper aspirant succeeded in landing a job on some paper, his home journal proudly referred to him as "accepting a position." "Most people who apply for a job have no idea of what is wanted," said Mr. Kimball. "I have sat near the desk of the city editor of the Kansas City Star and seen applicants for a job on the paper file pass the desk in a seemingly endless string and not one of them seemed to know what was required to gain the editor's interest. Perhaps the first will be a boy who comes in with his father. While the parent tells the editor how he has read the Star "nigh on to twenty years," and how he swears by their editorial policy the boy stands sheepishly by, eyeing the editor out of the corner of his eye. The next man will be one with a hard-luck story. He must have a job. He's down and out and he'll starve if the editor doesn't come through. But the editor cannot pay attention to him. The liar is also a frequent visitor at the office. He is the man who tries to fool the editor into believing that he is an old newspaper man, but the latter can see at a glance that he has "I'm a born liar," written all over him.
"Nor is a pleasant personality to be undesirable. The editor cannot help wishing to do something for the man who is always striving to please and make himself agreeable, while the 'grouch' who stalks up to the desk and thumps his copy down as if he wished it would choke the editor; will remain a reporter."
GARVIN ON ETERNAL LIFE.
Powers of Present Existence Are to Continue Indefinitely.
The address was by Rev. Samuel Garvin of Kansas City, Kan., on "The Eternal Life." He presented no arguments to prove it because he considered it a well-nigh universally accepted fact, but he gave some helpful thought concerning his conception of it. Dr. Garvin said the eternal life is the one we are now living and that the part before death is $\pi$ prelude to that beyond. He considered that the present life is but a thumbnail edition of the larger life to follow in which we will have many of our present characteristics. For this reason Dr. Garvin urged his hearers to recognize the gall of God to amount to something in this world that they do so in large measure in the next.
Despite the stormy weather a small audience attended the ves per services Sunday afternoon and were well rewarded by the music and the address. The an them by the chorus was "O Sweetyt Breathe the LvresAbove."

3,009 NEW BOOKS.
Many Volumes Added to Library Since September 1.
Since the beginning of this school year, 3,009 volumes have been added to the University library. This makes a total of 67,952 books that are open to the students for reference. These new books cover all departments of learning taught by the University, and range from an Encyclopedia of Accounting" to a 240 volume set of "Hausard's Parliamentary Debates."
The books are not all new ones for along with a copy of "Landscape Painting" by Birge Harrison, edited in 1909, came a little worn, thick-paged, yellow book, called a "History of the University," published in 1766. With such a variety to choose from, even the most fastidious student ought to be able to find at least one book that he can use.
