A word of explanation is due the athletic management as to the basket ball situation before it is condemned for the lack of home games this year. With 1200 tickets outstanding, and with no hall either in the University or in town, that could accommodate a fourth of that number and leave room for a team, the problem is a hard one. Under such circumstances it is almost out of the question to schedule games for the home court until the new gym is available.
The Kansas Lawyer in its last issue handed the glee club a lemon-like bouquet that naturally causes one to wonder if some one on the staff didn't fail of making the club. If the club is not all what it could be, such back-handed appreciation would do little to improve it. The fact is that the club has improved and is better than last year's organization. A little effort spent in boosting will do more good than much more breath devoted to knocking.
Every man in the University who can run, jump, juggle weights or even do a decent job at holding the tape owes it to himself and to the school to get out for the track work at once. We have a good coach who is voluntarily working at a great sacrifice to himself and to the association which he is running. He needs men-needs you, the more the merrier. With three or four indoor meets in the next two months, the team must have men and plenty of them. Numbers make keen competition. If you are good, come out to hold your place—its not a cinch; if you don't know about your ability, come out anyhow, and make some of the old heads get on their toes to stay in the race.
I am heartily in sympathy with the Kansan's agitation for some recognition of our debat-
ers comparable with the recognition of athletic merit. What is needed is not 'knocking,' but a sufficient motive. Care should be taken, in the interest of both athletics and debating, to make the honor emblems distinct enough so as to avoid confusion of the two kinds of merit. The confusion would work injury to athletics without helping debating.
While chairman of the faculty committee on debating at Iowa College, I succeeded in getting two things started which have greatly changed the dignity of literary work and the enthusiasm on it in that institution. One of the innovations was an honor emblem, a pin with the honor letter and the gavel, for those who had distinguished themselves in intercollegiate debating. The other was a faculty trophy to be competed for by the literary societies under certain conditions not necessary to state, as each institution has its own peculiar life.
I would suggest the awarding of an honor K with the gavel as as the emblem of distinguished work in intercollegiate debating. University Day, which I understand is a permanent institution, would be a fitting occasion for the awarding of the emblems. But all these things should be subjected to thorough discussion first of all.

Prof. M. W. Sterling talked in chapel Tuesday morning. His eulogy was, for the most part, in praise of Dr. Marvin for his efforts in behalf of the University, especially in the planting of Marvin Grove.
