The engineers presented to Captain C. P. Donald a splendid gold watch last night as a mark of their esteem for him. "Don" is a man that everybody is proud of, and the engineers are doubly so. The County Fair Saturday evening was all what the Y. W. C.A. had hoped or promised it would be. Everybody was there with his friends and everyone had a good time. The young ladies are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts both as a financial end and as a means of having a good itme. The dramatic club has undertaken a very expensive play this year, and has spared no expense to bring out all its possibilities. It will be well worth seeing. Don't fail to attend the performance either tomorrow or Friday evening. The play is given on two nights to allow everybody a chance to see it. Students and faculty members who desire extra copies of the special athletic number of the Kansan which will be out next week, can get them by leaving orders at the check stand any time before Tuesday December 18. Extras will be ten cents per copy and all orders must be accompanied by cash. The right spirit was shown at the engineers' banquet last night when the step was taken toward an organized canvass for the engineering appropriation in the next legislature. The engineers need room and need it badly. If the legislature sees the matter rightly they will get it. The engineers are more interested than some others, and it is fitting that they should take the lead. But this does not mean that the rest of us should lie down on it. It's for the University. Let everybody put his shoulder to the wheel. Kansan Competition. All students who have been doing competitive work in gathering news and wish to try for places on the Kansan staff are requested to submit a string of their work either at the Kansan office or with Mr. Flint not later than next Monday. There are two vacancies on the board which will be filled at its first meeting after the Christmas recess. I wish to thank the Engineers for the remembrance given me last night, and to express my sincere appreciation of the honor. C.P.DONALD. Most Popular Songs. The latest in college songs is the revised edition of "Most Popular College Songs," by Hinds, Noble and Eldredge. It contains the leading songs of the western universities, in addition to the well known favorites in the first edition. It is by all odds the best collection of college songs published at anything like the price. The new book is on sale at all the book stores, and is enjoying a great sale.
