A new animal house to hold all kinds of animals and material for the departments of zoology, bacteriology, entomology and physiology is rapidly being completed west of the heating plant.
The new building will be twenty-four by forty-eight feet in outside dimensions and two stories high. The first floor will be used by the zoology, physiology and entomology departments, and the second by the bacteriology department exclusively. A grythopterygian court with thirty six feet will be built on the south end to be used by the entomology and zoology departments.
In the main building, the zoology department will carry on experimental work in breeding guinea pigs, mice, rats, and pigeons. Cats, rabbits, and turtles will also be kept for use in comparative anatomy and parasitology.

FORMER DEBATER SENDS
MATERIAL TO HELP TEAM
Homer Hoyt, A. B., '13, and former inter-college debater has forwarded the material used in the Chicago-Dartmouth debate last year to the department of public speaking, in the hope that it may be of use among the students of the debate teams which are to oppose the Nebraska teams.
"Hoyt wrote to me some time ago in regard to the material," said Prof. Howard T. Hill this morning, "and offered to help us in any way he could in getting up our material for the Nebraska debates. The Chicagoans on the same question being used by Kansas and Nebraska this year, and we will be able to get some valuable stuff from it."
M. H. Warren, a senior in the College last year and at present secretary of the Haskell Y. M. C. A., has gone on a tour of the Indian Schools of Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota in the interests of the Y. M. C. A. He will be gone until the middle of the month.
It was thought for some time that Mr. Hoyt would come here and help the Kansas teams in their preparation for Nebraska. A rue forbidding outside assistance prevents him from doing so, however.
Hoyt is now a student at the University of Chicago, and last year he received an honor with the University of Michigan. When he was at the University of Kansas he was one of the team oppressed Colorado in the Triangular Debate.

High-class Entertainment for Small Audiences is Coming, Says Shostac
That the real drama of the future will be a high-class affair of "art for art's sake," produced in "little theaters" all over the country, and witnessed by select audiences of well-educated people, was the opinion expressed last night by P. B Shostac, of the department of English, at the meeting of the Quincy Club in Fraser Valley, where attended the meeting and participated in the discussion which followed Mr. Shostac's talk.
The cheap vaudeville and the burlesque show, Mr. Shostac thinks, will always exist, and will attract the "mob," and such members of the "high-brow" class as may occasionally desire to become members of the "mob" (who are usually not supposed to be educated to the better things in the drama), says Mr. Shostac, "Just as soon as it becomes educated, it ceases to be a mob."
"The day of such plays as 'The Lion and The Mouse' is almost over," says Mr. Shostac. The public—the "mob"-for which the class of plays is intended is fast being converted into movie audiences. Improvement in the audience and the middle class drama will cease to be. In its stead will rise a drama of high art, which will be staged in such playhouse as the Little Theater before small audiences of high culture. The drama of the future, I believe will be a poetic drama, with rich musicality, intimate affairs, and with the quiet, supposedly undramatic things of life."
Mr. Stoshae did not discuss the financial side of the drama of the future, or suggest any method by which the actors are springing up all over the country, will be supported. He believes, however, that wealthy men interested in the drama will support such剧aters in order that the art may be advanced.
DEBATORS HAVE JINX, TOO
Budding Demosthenes are Hindered by Hospital List, Like football Team
Preparations for the Kansas-Nebraska debate are proceeding in fine shape despite numerous obstacles, according to Harold Mattoon, business manager of the affair. "Three men have been sick during the last week," he said this morning, "and one of them has a black eye sustained in class football practice. Nevertheless, they have been pedated into form, and practically have the debate completed at the present time."
Edward C. Hake, Ennic C. Whitehead, and E. F. Price are the three men who have been on the sick list. They have suffered from the gripe, and have been hindered in their efforts to obtain material for the命题. Charlemagne Havingest annexed a black eye in football practice last Monday.
Final selection of the men who are to compose the teams will be made the day before the debate, according to Mattoom. Hake, Whithead, Price, and Smith are the four men who are after the two remaining places on the teams.
"There seems to be considerable interest in the debate," said Mattoon this morning. "I'm glad to see it, too. Since our brain and brawn failed against Nebraska in football, perhaps alone will win from them in debate."
The debate, which may be held at the Bowersock if the attendance warrants, will be formal, all speakers appearing in full dress."

For those who appreciate the importance and value of fine sterling tableware—who seek the exclusive benefit from the best of workmanship—we offer the new Nellie Custis pattern.
The Nellie Custis pattern is something entirely different from anything ever created in tableau i r j k a l ], distinctive and elegantly beautiful. The new contour, the plain top, the slender ornamented handle, —each feature unites an unusual design of activeness.
The name "Nellie Custis" is very fitting, as the design of the pattern reflects the Sheraton and Empire periods of ornament, which predominated in the time of Lady Nellie Custis.
