Two Additional Entries for Baker Try-out.—Notices to the Contestants.
At the meeting of the Debating Council yesterday evening the dates for the two remaining preliminary debates were fixed, and the contestants for each announced. The Iowa preliminary will be held in the lecture room of Green Hall Monday evening, February 11, on the question of municipal ownership of car lines. The men who will contest for places are: Tom Gowenlock, Walter Brown, Roy Cox, Fred Brett, John P. Jones, H. J. Bischoff, Heil, W. J. Luckey, Cyrus Worrell, Charles Blackmar, Simminger, Harris and John Gage.

The contestants for the Washburn tryout on the same question are:
The members of the Iowa squad will meet in Professor Higgins' office in Green Hall Friday, February 8, at 10:15 to draw lots for sides of the question. The Washburn men will meet at 10:15 Monday, February 11, at the same place.
The council voted to admit Herman Pfeifer and Woodie Jacobs to the Baker preliminary next Monday evening. These men did not enter their applications until long after the entries were supposed to be closed, but the council thought it unwise to bar anyone on a mere technicality. Jacobs, who is a colored man, was very anxious to get into the debate, which is on the repeal of the fifteenth amendment, and promises to make a strong trial, as he has won honors in oratory, and has had practice in public speaking.
WANT A WOMAN REGENT.
New York Ex-Kansans Propose New Idea.
About fifty ex-Kansans in New York City gave a Kansas Day banquet Tuesday evening and discussed the welfare of their native state. A petition was sent to Governor Hoch asking for the appointment of a woman to the Board of Regents of the University. Many instances were cited of cases where women had been highly satisfactory in this capacity. Col.J.J.McCook, donor of McCook Field, was one of the principal speakers.
