The Oklahomaans were much impressed with the rooting last Saturday. Let's impress Colorado the same way—as well as in other ways.
Don't forget that you are going to join the Hospital Association today. It's not a graft simply a plain business proposition, an insurance plan, if you like.
The merchants of Lawrence have contributed very liberally to the band fund. One firm that has always stood by the University in everything subscribed twenty-five dollars.
Students who signed the Band subscription list should make a point of seeing the man whose list he signed at once. The new uniforms have been ordered—help the boys in collecting the money to pay for them.
Colorado used to make our football team feel good by greeting them with the Rock Chalk yell. Greet them Saturday with this:
Colorado, Colorado, Colorado.
Rah, Rah, Rah!
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Rah, Rah, Rah.
Rado, Rado, Colorado.
Next Saturday is the last home game of the season, and besides that, one of the hardest games on the whole schedule. Colorado always has been a hard proposition, and the battle with Washburn last Saturday shows that their strength is not all in the past. Come out to the game—not only with your material presence, but with the spirit that the contest deserves. Make our men feel that they are fighting for victory for fifteen hundred sons and daughters of Kansas, and not merely for themselves. Put the spirit of the University into the game.
The cub reporter of the Chicago Daily Maroon, who evidently has a very broad streak of yellow in his journalistic make-up, got hold of the story of the clash between the Lawrence police and the University students a short time ago, and made a column story of bloodshed and race riot out of it.
Wagon loads of police re-en-
forcements, and whole companies of citizens and students figured in his lurid recital. Massachusetts street was "A mass of struggling, shouting men." The article ends thus:
"Ever since long before the war, Lawrence has been the scene of much bloodshed owing to race hatred and prejudices.
"Murder, riots, and all sorts of trouble and boodshed have been the result of this race feeling. It is feared by the university authorities that even more sanguinary clashes than this may result."
Chicago evidently is "long" on wind of more kinds than one. W. R. Hearst in his yellowest days wouldn't stand for such rot. In the official paper of an institution like Chicago University, such rank stuff about a sister institution is inexcusable.
The Court of Inquiry.
A few of the members of the junior law class met in Green Hall last Wednesday and effected an organization called The Court of Inquiry. The purpose of this organization is to go over the difficult points of the daily class work.
The club meets every Wednesday afternoon. The officers are a chairman and secretary. The chairman occupies the chair for one week only, when the secretary succeeds to the chair. Each outgoing chairman appoints a new secretary.
It is the duty of the chairman to assign the most difficult subjects to certain individuals who will make especial effort to seek out a solution and an authority.
Mrs. Flora Wilber has taken charge of a class in German. Mrs. Wilber was educated in Germany and has taught languages in the eastern high schools.
Remember Squires is the student photographer.
A lucky fellow!
Most of them hereabouts are wearing our Overcoats.
Better be born lucky than handsome.
The world is full of lucky men.
A man inside of one of our handsome Top Coats, Chesterfield, French Back Coats or Paddocks is, is indeed, a lucky man.
The unlucky chap will wander off somewhere else and buy a "bargain" Overcoat, or a coat without a reputation.
The best Tailors in the world make our Overcoats.
Still the price cuts no figure. It's the Coat at the price, that counts.
Coats $12.50, $15.00, $18.00
to $30.00.

A VERY JOLLY TIME.
Christian Associations Gave Pleasant Reception.
About four hundred students attended the annual Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. reception given in Snow Hall Friday night. The affair was a decided success. The crowd was not as large as formerly, but the deficiency in numbers was cancelled by the jolly good humour exhibited during the evening. Through the efforts of Frank Brock, member of the vigilance committee, the wheels of talk were well oiled and the blushing maiden with the bashful youth were made to feel perfectly at ease. A very pleasing program was rendered. A violin solo with piano accompaniment given by the Misses Smart was thoroughly enjoyed. Readings were given by Misses Wilcox and Garret. Mr. Thiel, accompanied by Mr. Schumaker gave a vocal solo. After the program the crowd sang several familiar college songs, closing the evening with the Crimson and the Blue, and a Rock! Chalk! K. U.!
First Recital a Success.
Only a fair sized crowd was present at the first music recital Friday night, given by George W. Andrews under the auspices of the School of Fine Arts. A large number of Lawrence people attended. The organist is certainly an artist and the classical selections fulfilled the fondest expectations of the music lovers. The music was all of the most difficult kind from Wagner, Bach, Verdi and one selection composed by Mr. Andrews himself. The only thing occurring to mar the success of the concert was the poor condition of the pipe organ.
Mr. Andrews was assisted by Mrs. Blanche Lyons, soprano, accompanied by Miss Maude Cooke, pianist.
W. B. Satterthwaite, A. B.'06, visited friends at the University over Sunday. He was on his way to his home in Girard, after on extended visit with relatives in the Atlantic States.
