WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1906
Saturday is the time for the rooters to get busy,and let a little fresh air into their lungs. Oklahoma expects to have a hundred rooters here, and both rooters and team will do their best.
By request of our cheer-leader the Oklahoma yell is given below:
"Hi! Rickety!
Whoop-te-doo!
Boomer! Sooner!
Okla.—U!"
Don't fail to read the articles of organization of the Hospital Association on another page. Give it the consideration it deserves. Last night the payments to the fund were only twenty-one dollars. Don't let such a good project fail from carelessness.
The project to uniform the band is meeting with an astonishing response. Everybody students and faculty, is contributing. The band is doing good work this year, and the new uniforms would be only a just recognition of it. In the next appropriation for the University some provision should be made for regular assistance for the band. It represents the University in a way that no other organization does, and labors under difficulties that are peculiar to itself. It should be helped by the state.
Oklahoma University has the spirit that is going to make a great institution. They are enthusiastic down there and they are going to do things in all that they undertake. They will have a hundred rooters at the game next Saturday, and that on a five-dollar rate, and an all-day trip to get here.
Their Debating Council wants to schedule a debate with us and they are in a hurry for an answer. Its an enthusiastic, progressive spirit back of everybody and everything in Oklahoma, and it will bear fruit.
Is the University spirit dying out? This is a question that has been urged from several sources recently. There has been no great demonstration of typical College or University enthusiasm for so long that the
question is not all in all impertinent. Don't be afraid to "gang up" with a lot of fellows and make the air ring with time honored "Rock Chalk," and with songs to your Alma Mater.
Hair the value and significance of a college career comes from that very spirit of loyalty to one's college and the ideals it stands for. It would not be too much to say that the lesson of enthusiasm for what one's fellows in college are doing and the feeling of fellowship it gives, go far to make a college man what he is. Don't be afraid to show your loyalty—let the tide of your enthusiasm rise higher and higher, let yourself become saturated with it. Learn to love the sounds of our version of "Carmen," and the roar of our splendid yell as you love the best things in life. Then there will be no need to ponder the future of the institution-it can be nothing but great with a spirit like that back of it.
Entomological Specimens.
The entomological department of the University of Kansas has received 1400 entomological specimens of much value. Twelve hundred of these came from Dr.C.E.Baker of the agricultural experiment station at Santiago, Cuba. In exchange for these specimens Dr. Snow will send a collection of wasps, locusts and grasshoppers. In this manner the entomological department of the University is constantly adding to the entomological collections. These collections are now the finest in the United States and every year entomologists from both Europe and America visit the University for the purpose of inspecting these specimens.

The next qualifying examination for scholars in the United States under the Cecil Rhodes Bequest, will be held about the middle of January, 1907. Scholarships will also be open in 1908; in 1910 and 1911; in 1913 and 1914; and so on, omitting every third year. The scholarships are of the value of $1500 a year, and are tenable for three years. The first scholar from Kansas is Earle Murray of the state university.
There is a flourishing little enterprise on the hill called the K. U. Pantatorium which certainly tops the market in reference to a good proposition. You can get your clothes pressed and your shoes shined daily for only $1.50 per month. Dry cleaning and pressing ladies' skirts are our specialties. Harris & Manley.

Professor W. H. Johnson, high school inspector for the University of Kansas, finds a very great increase in attendance in all the schools accredited to the University. This increase of attendance seems to be uniform throughout the State, not being confined to any particular section.
