AN INCIDENT.
A Med—while walking down the street,
a charming maid enchanted to meet,
Of form with which none could compete;
So meat.
Susah had such eyes and golden hair,
And a complex on far more fair,
Than he had yet seen anywhere;
"Ah there!"
This maiden from behind her fan,
Looked coyly—a smile in can,
While from her lips the sneeze rat,
"Who is that man?"
The Med thought this was very bright.
His heart beat fiercely with dolls, hot
As he answers loud with all his night,
"Oh he's all right."
What happened now was very wrong,
And shout d not happen but in song,
This Med and madem walked along,
Caught on,
— The Red and Blue.
THEOLOGY
Two children stood by the water's brink
And watched the moonbeams gitter and wink
On the tossing waves of the sea so vast,
And the silvery moon second to each cast
O'er the troubled sea in the dark one night,
Right up to his feet a path of light
Sotsey fell to disputing and quarreling sore,
For each saw only one path and no more,
And claimed that outside its shining mark.
The whole great sea was gloomy and dark.
Two preachers stood by the sea of life.
Now each had lived in co stant strife.
To find a path through life's dark night,
That led direct to the source of light;
And to each as reward one ray had shore.
Ot the mviad lights th' it come from His throne
So they fell to disputing and quarrelling ore,
For each saw only one path and no more,
And claimed that all who refused to go
His way, were doomed to darkness and woe.
Communicated.
EDITOR KANSAN:I have been watching the attempt to start the athletic spirit in our K. S. U. and it seems to me that if the commissioners appointed by the athletic association would resolve themselves into a committee, and adopt the plan used in the eastern colleges the ultimate success of our undertaking would be much nearer.
Let them make a personal canvas of all the students and get a pledge from them of any amount, or a stated amount which shall render them active members of the association, while others by the constitution being members will only have the power of associates.
It seems to me that a reasonable amount will be raised this way and it will demonstrate more clearly and exactly the interest in the movement.
We have had pretty clear evidence that as soon as we take hold and make a showing that aid will be near at hand. This scheme has been tried and found a success, it is in fact the only plan in use to support the beginnings of the large eastern associations, giving them the sinews until by exhibitions and tournaments as the late Yale-Princeton game, which cleared over $5,000 to each college they shall have provided themselves with money and pay a big per cent on the original investment.
SUBSCRIBER.
A State Athletic Association. Sometimes ago the KANSAN spoke of the desirability of forming a state athletic association and proposed that each college of the state be represented by some student interested in athletics so that some feasible method might be devised to give athletics a more prominent part in college life in Kansas. Since the other article was written an athletic association has been formed by the students of the University and now we are prepared to enter into the matter of athletics with the other colleges more fully and with more definite aims than ever before. It is not known how the other colleges of the state regard this matter, but it is hoped that before the close of the present school year there will be an athletic league formed between the colleges of Kansas.
That such a league is desirable, can hardly be doubted by any one, if he favors the promotion of athletics in the colleges at all. As it is, there are few inter-collegiate contests in Kansas. This is due of course to the absence of any organization and until some organization is formed there can be little done to better the existing condition of things. If there were a state organization there would be a stimulus given to each college and it would result in much more interest being taken in these matters.
It is not very creditable to say the least, that there are a half dozen colleges in as small a radius as those composing the State Oratorical Association, and year after year passes without a siigle game between some of them. There is no reason why there should not be an annual contest in athletics that would attract as much interest as the Oratorical contst.
It is to be hoped that the other colleges of the state will take this matter into consideration and be prepared to discuss this question through some of their representatives next month when the contest meets here.

The Coming Contest.
The State Oratorical contest which occurs in this place on the 14th of next month promise to be one of the best ever held in the State. All the local contests, which have been held so far, report the successful orators to be men of exceptional high standing as speakers.
There will be also a large delegations from each of the colleges. To entertain these visitors in a manner in keeping with the University's idea of hospitality, will necessarily involve much planning and hard work. It has been proposed that, besides the usual work done by the local association, a large committee be appointed representing the several fraternities and literary societies to arrange for a reception to be held immediately after the contest. The suggestion seems a good one and if the students take the matter in hand there is little doubt of its success. Nothing will add to the popularity of the University so much as hospitable and courteous entertainment of visitors.
