FIFTY SIGNERS FOR COMPANY
NATIONAL GUARD COMPA NY IN FEW WEEKS.
Company May Be Recruited Up to Full Strength of One Hundred Men.
“There will be more than fifty signers to the petition for a military company tonight, and I will then turn it over to Colonel Wilder S. Metcalf,” said C. R. Shiffler today. Mr. Shiffler is the member of the middle law class who has been circulating a petition to secure a student company of the Kansas National Guard at the University of Kansas.
The First regiment of the National Guard is now one company short and Mr. Shifler, who has been a captain of militia, was instructed by the adjutant general of Kansas to organize a company at the University.
The fifty signers necessary for securing the company have been secured, and in a couple of weeks the company will be installed, according to Mr. Shifler. The drilling will begin at once in Robinson gymnasium, with the fifty members. If others care to enlist, as Mr. Shifler thinks they will, the company will add more members until there are almost a hundred men in the ranks.
The recruiting officer is highly pleased with the interest which the students have taken in the movement. He thinks that those who join the company will be more than repaid for the time which will be required for drill
DEBATERS CHOSEN.
Marks and Perkins to Meet the Tigers.
At the final tryout for places on the Missouri debating team last night, H. C. Marks and R. M. Perkins were chosen to represent this university against the Tigers this spring. Frank Swan cara was chosen alternate.
The tryout was held in the chapel Wednesday afternoon with Professors Higgins, Bates and Davis acting as judges.
This concludes the try-outs for places on inter-state debating teams, but the dates for none of the contests have been decided upon definitively. There will be only one debate at home this year, that with Missouri, the Sooners and the Mountaineers being met with on their own grounds. The question of a tax upon incomes will be argued here and the postal savings banks system will be discussed with Oklahoma and Colorado.
There has been nothing definitely decided upon as to the time and place of awarding the prizes offered for excellency in debate this year, but this question will probably be settled in the near future.
The patronesses of Miss Gos sett's district of the girls' student council will give a series of "at homes," at each of which one third of the girls of that district will be entertained. The first one will be given at the home of Mrs. W. E. Higgins, on Saturday March 5th.
MANY KINDS OF FISH
Received by Department of Zoology From California.
The department of Zoology recently received a large shipment of fifty-five different species of fish from Prof. E.C. Stacks of Leland Stanford University. The collection contains specimens from Hawaii, South America, Siberia, Europe and the rivers of California, Panama, and the Pacific coast.
The fish are exceedingly beautiful, having attracted great attention, while on display at Seattle, last summer. The specimens will be used in the regular laboratory work in zoology. They are now on exhibition in Room 206, Snow hall.
Laws Will Also Have a Pin.
Although no definite action has been taken as yet it is practically a certainty that the Law School will adopt a pin within a short time. The emblem will be used not as a class distinction, but to distinguish the law students from students in other schools.
The committee which was appointed to select designs for the badge, and which consists of Frank Ford and George McKercher, and Herbert Stubbs, has decided upon a circular gold pin bearing the letters "K. U." and the figure of "Justice" with 'i' proverbial balances, engrav'd thereon. The emblem may be worn as a scarf pin or on the lapel of the coat.

How About You?
A very helpful invention for the users of eye glasses is on the market, and has been for a good while. But many users of glasses apparently do not know it, or they would have it now. For this little invention has made it possible for one to do away with those old spectacles that hurt your ears and those nose glasses that are always falling off. This is the Stic-tite nose glass bridge.
This is so constructed that it will fit any nose and will fit good and tight. No matter if your nose is large, small, flat, narrow or broad, this stic-tite will hold your glasses on in any kind of weather, in any position your head might be, and on all occasions. Gustafson, the College jeweler, at 911 Mass, street, has these Stic-tite for you at $2.50 in gold filled and $5.00 in solid gold. Adv.
