--importance to the engineering student. If the loss caused by the fire is not replaced by next fall we must except to lose most of our engineering students. Those who have the money will go elsewhere, and those without the necessary means to go elsewhere will stay at home rather than receive only partial instruction. The shops must be rebuilt at once or else we will be seriously crippled."
Work B gun on Power House and Plans for Rebuilding the Shops.
The forced vacation has come to an end and all day Monday the students flocked into town ready to go to work on Tuesday. That day found all the classes in all departments being held as usual, with the exception of the classes in the Physics building, which could not be heated till later in the week. Every effort is being made to raise enough money to begin rebuilding the engineering shops at once. Of course everyone knows that not one cents worth of the $20,000 of apparatus was saved from the fire of two weeks ago. All was destroyed in the fire which burned the power house and the shops.
Early in the forced vacation following the fire, Chancellor Snow held a consultation with Governor Leedy and later with a committee of Lawrence citizens. The proposition was that the citizens of Lawrence should raise the money necessary to repair the damage done by the fire. If they would do this Governor Leedy pledged his influence towards the reimbursement of these advancing the money
The committee consisting of Messrs. Gurdon Grovenor, J. D. Bowersock, Alex Monroe and Paul R Brooks, immediately pledged $7,000 to be used in rebuilding the power house and heating plant. This money is now in the bank and work has already begun. The debris has been cleared away, the damaged boilers repaired and work on the building itself has commenced. All of this $7,000 will be needed however, to put the power house in shape and prepare for lightning and heating of the University buildings. To reuild and refit the shops will require in the neighborhood cf $25,000 more. In absence of a special session of the legislature this money must be raised by private subscription also. There is of course no intention to ask for this as a gift but merely as a loan. The Chancellor has consequently written to the members of the State Senate all of whom hold over for two years longer explaining the situation and asking their support to a measure looking towards the reimbursement of the private citizens whose generosity alone can in the present state of affairs allow the reconstruction of this very necessary building. It will of course be impossible to have the shops ady for use during the remainder of this term if work can be begun however immediately it is hoped that the building may be ready for occupancy at the beginning of next fall's work.
It is the intention to construct a separate building for the shops on the bench just at the foot of the steps now leading down to the power house.
The Chancellor has already received letters from twenty-six members of the senate. Of these, twenty-two pledge their unqualified support to the plan of the Chancellor and to see that all subscriptions are reimbursed. The tone of the other four letters is also favorable though not in such unmistakeable terms as the others.
In speaking of the general situation and the need of beginning work immediately Chancellor Snow says:
"The engineering school is seriously embarrassed by the distraction of its shops. What work can be done in the laboratories of the Physics building will not of course be interfered with. The bulk of the shop work, however was done in the destroyed power house. More than this the apparatus itself amounting in value to $19,000, was totally destroyed. This apparatus must be replaced and a building for it constructed before the work of the Engineering School can be properly carried on. It is now so late in the year that we can dispense with the practical work of the department for the rest of the term, but if the efficiency of the engineering school is to be maintained we must be prepared to offer facilities for the mechanical and experimental portion of the course next fall. This mechanical work is of the greatest
CHANCELLOR SNOW TELLS WHY WE MUST RE-
BUILD AT ONCE.
How the Fire Hes Interfered With the Engineering Courses.
The recent fire at the shops will have a very decided effect on the courses of the electrical engineering students. The Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors had all their work for the year destroyed and some of the Juniors were doing special work for themselves or for instructors in other departments. Mr. Fred Matthews had a camera almost finished when the fire broke out. But few Seniors lost directly by the fire as they are through the shopwork of their course but their work in the laboratories is more or less affected by the destruction of the engines and dynamos which furnish the alternating and direct current used in the laboratories in the Physics building. The Seniors are fairly launched on their professional thesis work and now that the supply of electricity is cut off their work is brought to a standstill. The building is well supplied with storage batteries but as there is nothing to charge them with, they are useless. Prof Blake has ordered a new alternator to be set up soon so the delay will not be very prolonged. It is reported that one of the engines was not entirely destroyed and with considerable repairing and overhauling can be made to run again.
SHOP WORK FOR THE YFAR ENDED.
COMMENCEMENTORATOR ELECTED
Rev. J. H. Barrows of Chicago Choosn The Chancellor has received word from from Rev. John H. Barrows of Chicago, accepting the invitation to deliver the commencement address to the school of arts next June. Mr. Barrows was president of the World's Parliament of Religions at the Columbian Exposition. He has just returned from a year's tour of India. While in that country Mr. Barrows' ability as a lecturer was in constand demand and he delivered courses of lectures at Madras and other Indian cities.
His selection to deliver the commencement address is particularly fitting since Mr. Barawzs is one of the many "formerly of Kansas" men who have achieved distinction. He was for some years superintendent of public instruction in Osage City.
Passes The Senats.
The bill appropriating $20,000 to pay the claim held by the University of Kansas for the burning of the Free State hotel has passed the Senate. This claim was formerly held by the Emigrant Aid Society of New England. Last winter it was tranferred to the University. Through the services of Prof. W. H. Carruth the claim was prepared for presentation to Congress. Senator W. A. Harris was a stanch supporter of the bill and secured its passage in the Senate.
Examinations are quite the thing in the Law school at present. The Seniors took an examination in sales down-town the day of the fire. On Friday of last week Prof. Brownell gave the Juniors their "exam" in Bailments. The Seniors on Monday were treated to a forty-five question examination by Judge Benson on Pleadings and just not to be sighted the Juniors took their examination in Constitutional Law the next day.

MISSOURI DEBATE.
PCSTPCNED ON ACCOUNT OF THE
FIRE.
Vol. VI. No. 8.
WILL BE HELD FRIDAY MIGHT.
A Misunderstanding as to Date-Both Teams Anxious.
Get out those colors you wore at the Thanksgiving football game, and at the oratorical contest. You will need them next Friday.
Make diligent use of the chest weights in the Gymnastium all next week to develop your lung power, you will need it next Friday.
Put away fifteen cents immediately upon reading this and buy a ticket next Monday morning of some member of the debate committee or at the Weekly office. You will need it next Friday night, or at least you ought to need one and want one if you are a truly loyal Kansan.
For on next Friday Lawrence is to be invaded not by a, Spanish army, but by a band of Missourians. They will not come armed like the Cubans with machettes nor will they come like Quantrell's men with fire and sword.
Their stock in trade is argument and their weapon talk. In other words they come to debate with representatives of the University. The debate was to have been held on March 25, but the fire of that week compelled its postponement. As told in the WEEKLY of March 19, the question to be debated is the income tax and Kansas has the side supporting the national income tax. The legal question will be eliminated from the debate. This will be the first debate between Kansas and Missouri. The admission will be only 15 cents and tickets may be secured the first of the week from members of the committee or at the WEEKLY office.
MUTUAL MISUNDERSTANDING.
Looked at One Time as if There Would Be No Debate.
It looked the first of the week as though the debate might fall through. Everything was in a muddle and no one was particularly to blame. Missouri thought the debate was to be this week, our team understood that April 15, was the date.
The following statement of the situation is authorized by a member of the committee.
The Missouri debate postponed on account of the fire and vacation will he held on next Friday night. There has been some little hitch in the arrangements but there is no doubt but the debate will he held on that night.
Immediately upon the receipt of the news of the burning of the power house, the debate committee was hastily called together at Prof. Olin's house. The only thing the committee could do under the circumstances was of course to send word to Missouri and postpone the debate. This was done by wire. As it was not known at the time just how long it would be before the University would resume work, it was thought best to suggest April 15 as the date of the debate. A letter was immediately sent Missouri explaining the circumstances fully and suggesting that date. In the same letter Missouri was asked to negotiate with Prof. Olin, chairman of our debating committee, if this date did not suit her. This letter was sent to Mr. M.cIntyre, chairman of the Missouri committee.
No reply whatever was received from him. Tuesday of last week, however, a letter was received at the Chancellor's office from Prof. Hicks of Missouri University, stating that April 8 would suit their boys as a date for the debate and suggesting that the judges be corresponded

In the absence of the chancellor. Mr. Hogg took charge of the correspondence, Prof. Olin supposing any proposals from Miss ouri would be to him as directed by our letter had failed to notify the chancellor and Mr. Hogg of the date of the postponement.
The only thing known at the Chancellor's office then was the fact of the postponement. In the absence of any notification of the date set by the committee, Mr Hogg replied that he presumed April 8 would be satisfactory provided the judges could be secured. Correspondence was opened with the judges and it was found that neither Judge Phillips nor Col. Rossington could be present on April 8. Here the matter stood till Wednesday when Prof. Olin received a letter from Mr. McIntyre of Missouri announcing that the Missouri team would arrive Thursday afternoon. A meeting of the committee was called for Wednesday noon. No arrangements had been made for advertising under the supposition that the debate would not be held till next week. Something had to be done and that quickly. Mr. Cheadle read a copy of the letter he had sent to Missouri and Mr. Hogg produced his correspondence with Prof. Hicks. The committee felt that the action of Missouri in ignoring the chairman of the committee and in arbitrarily passing over the committee's suggestion of April 15 and arranging for a different date when requested to notify Prof. Olin provided the date were not satisfactory, absolved us from any duty to endanger the financial success of the debate by holding it without sufficient advertising on Friday of this week. A telegram was immediately sent to President Jessee setting the debate for April 15th and this telegram was followed by a full explanatory letter.

Among other things the fire put Miss ourl's defeat three weeks farther along.
Mr Bryan's gift to the University was a graceful action and the fact that he had previously done the same for Missouri doesn't make it any the less so.
The Law school is to be congratulated upon the character of its lectures. Take Judge Martin for instance. He has been here for the first three or four weeks lecturing to the Senior Law class. For his trouble and time he receives next to nothing. Considering his prestige as a lawyer there can be little doubt but that his time spent here results in a direct pecuniary loss. Yet the love of his profession, and pride, and interest in his State's Law school brings him here.
A DO-NOTHING MANAGEP
It seems pertinent to inquire what the track athletic management is doing. It was announced early in the season that a track would be made on McCook field. Only a few weeks now intervenes before the state meet, yet work on the track has not been begun. Neither does it seem that any preparation has been made to begin work. The time-worn objections that there is no interest in track athletics here and that there are no candidates in active training, can no longer be thrown in the faces of those who advocate energetic and up-to-date athletic management. All through the vacation fifteen or twenty men could be found on the field daily, training as best they could with the facilities provided.
Nebraska is now at work building a cinder track to cost several hundred dollars. This when completed, will be the best appointed track west of Chicago and "will enable the University" (of Nebraska), so tauntingly boasts the Nebraskan, "to take the same lead in track events that she already taken in base ball and football."
Are we to stand idly by and see the Nebraskan's boast made good?
The students of this institution habitually squeeze the purse strings so tightly that we cannot expect at once to make a track equal to that of Nebraska. But it has been estimated that for $35 a track for the spirits can be constructed. This track once put in shape would be a start in the right direction and ultimately in; sure a first class track and team. Of this ridiculously low sum part, must have have been cleared from the idleroom meet. The expenses for that night were small, and unless money was deliberately thrown away, there must have been at least a few dollars profit. The rest ought to be secured easily by subscription, if the manager were hustling and efficient.
In striking contrast to his lethargic movements are the energy and push of the base ball management. Mr. Snyder has already secured by subscription over $100 for the use of his ball team.
Kansas athletes have heretofore set the pace in the Mississippi valley and others have followed as best they could. But a little more such management as that of our present track team, and our prestige will be gone.
Captain Speak has done the best he could without the active assistance of his manager. The only thing the
latter has done so far is to exhibit his first class incompetency for the place; and if some energy is not instilled into his managerial veins, and that at once, we may expect a disastrous season in track athletics.
Show Your College and State Loy alty.
The WEEKLY called attention some weeks ago to the necessity of a big crowd at the Missouri debate. The same reasons hold good now that held good then. The fire gave us more time, but it didn't give us any more money or any less expense. The financial needs of the situation are as great now as they were then. All expenses of the debate, about seventy-five dollars, are to be borne by our committee. Neither has the second reason that of encouragement to our debaters been reduced any by the postponement. They need as much as ever to feel that the boys are behind them backing them up. As for the third reason a proper display of college spirit, the occasion for it is more pressing than ever. There is we understand, a feeling at Missouri that we are not anxious for the debate, that we are sick of our bargain. Certain suspicious Missou ians no doubt believe that some member of our debating team or committee set fire with his own hand to the power house to gain time. Not understanding the situation here, they feel that we are putting them off, presumably because we shudder at the final day of reckoning. Now if only a small crowd comes out to hear the debate this idea will be strengthened. A light audience will be attributed to a feeling of apathy which in a Missouri-Kansas contest could only be construed by Missouri as resulting from a foregone conclusion on our part of defeat.
part of our team.
So give Missouri a warm reception.
Give them an exhibition, of genuine college spirit. Prove that Kansas is as eager to meet her in debate as in football, and as interested and as confident of the outcome. There will be three Jayhawkers on the platform that night who will do their part. Students, do yours!
A CHANCE FOR STATE PRIDE
It is imperative that the shops of the Engineering school should be rebuilt at once. As pointed out by Chancellor Snow in another column of the Weekly, to delay the rebuilding and retraining of the shops will seriously cripple the University. As work in modern schools of mechanical and electrical engineering is now carried on, much attention is paid to shop work. The day when scientific courses were confined to a theoretical study of principles, has passed. Experiment and practice are now essential factors in scientific education. No institution of learning can hope to maintain a high rank or to graduate from its well-equipped, competent and practical engineers, if proper facilities for such work are not provided.
The Engineering school of the University of Kansas has been thoroughly up-to-date in its methods of instruction. It has attained an enviable reputation for efficiency. This standard must be maintained. The people of the state cannot afford that any department of the University should take a backward step.
To postpone the rebuilding and refitting of these shops would a fatal step in the wrong direction.
Now it takes money to rebuild and the only way to raise this money for the present is for the citizens of the state and particularly of Lawrence to loan it to the Regents. The people of Lawrence ought to be willing to do this. They are directly and primarily benefited by the location of the University in this town and if any one doubts this let him spend a month, or even a single week in this town in the summer and notice the difference in the business then and during the college year. $300,000 is a ridiculously low estimate of the amount brought here annually by the University.
It is not as though the Regents were asking a gift. There is ample assurance that the money will be refunded by the state.
In view of these facts it certainly seems as though the needed $30,000 should be raised here in town and we believe it will. $7,000 has already been secured by the generosity of four men.
Surely it cannot be that State pride is at so low an ebb as to suffer the crippling of the State's highest institution of learning for the lack of a $30,000 loan.

year, beginning a year from this spring. This makes the fifth prize now awarded in the University.
Of the other three, two are scholarships and two are like the Bryan gift, prizes for an essay in a prescribed line of work. Of these prizes the most valuable is the Thompson Law prize, open to members of both the Junior and Senior classes of the Law school. As told in the Weekly some weeks ago this prize is given by the Thompson Law Book Co. and consists in a set of one of their three valuable Law Engegolpidias any one which is worth over $200. Contests this year are already at work upon their thesis upon the question submitted by the law school faculty, that of the legal standing of labor organizations whose purpose is to control the price of labor.
The other essay prize is known as the Barteaux English Literature prize. It is $20. four volume edition of Green's Short History of the English People. The contest is open to members of the Junior and Senior classes of the School of Arts and this valuable work is awarded to the contest presenting the best characterization of an English author of the Victorian period in any department of letters, literary, philosophical or scientific. The donor is Mr. Arthur B. Barteaux of New York city, and the essays must be submitted on May 1. The two scholarships are both in Latin and each pays $100. They are known as the D.H. Robinson Memorial Scholarship of the Alumni Association and the D.H. Robinson Graduate Latin Scholarship, respectively. The first is an under-graduate scholarship supported by the Alumni Association.
Prof. Dyche delivered two lectures during the vacation; one at Effingham and one at Kansas City, Kansas.
SNOW HALL.
The cold weather of last week destroyed some of the preparations that Mr. McClung had arranged for last Wednesday night's meeting of the Biological club and thus necessitated a postponement.
The Department of Zoology has had a number of rough tables put in at the windows of the gymnasium for the accommodation of the members of the class in Zoology 1.
The cold weather has delayed the work of the survey; there being no botanical growth.
Dr. Williston recently sold $300 worth of fossils to National museums of Washington, D. C., and also accomplished a valuable exchange with Prof Barber of Nebraska, Prof. Broadhead of Missouri, and with the National museum.
The Botanical department acquired a valuable supply of bacteres during the vacation.
The proof of the plates for the State Zoological survey have been received and are excellent.
An article on Creataceous Reptiles is to appear in the June number of the Popular Science Monthly, and Dr. Williston's work will form the basis of the report, the pictures for which he is now correcting. It is quite likely that his picture is to appear on the frontispiece.

F. Marion Crawford.
Kansas Cityans had the good fortune a few days ago to hear F. Marlon Cawford lecture on "Pope" Leo XIII, and the Vatican."
BOOKS AND THINGS
A history of Rome during the Middle Ages by F. Marion Crawford will be published In November.
At first his personality was much more interesting than what he said, but not for long. His lecture was given easily and frankly, progressing in the same natural way that his stories do. One particularly noticed the perfect good taste which he always observed by keeping Marlon Crawford and his books in the obscure background. Some English writers who have lately come to America would do well to exercise the same modesty and good taste as Mr. Crawford instead of emphasizing their personalities and advertising their books and then complaining that Americans treated them as curiosities to be marveled at and interviewed. Mr. Crawford had abundant opportunity to talk about himself for much of the material of his lecture was such as no American except himself could secure. Although born of Protestant parentage, he has himself embraced the Catholic faith. This fac is a great advantage to him for influenza Roman houses both of the church and out of it are quite impenetrable to a man of Protestant faith.
Mr. Crawford regards Pope Leo XIII as one of the greatest of the popes and told a little anecdote which in a few words illustrates the difference between Pope Pius IX who governed by love and his successor Leo who governs by fear. Some visitors were one day admitted to be blessed by Pope Pius and, as is the custom, they all knelt to receive the pontifical blessing except one stiff necked young Englishman. When Pius came to the standing man he looked kindly at him and said, "Kneel, now, young man, an old man's blessing can do thee no harm." A similar occasion has once presented itself during Leo's reign, a young man refused to knee, so when Pope Leo came to him, a fiery gleam shot from his eye, and pointing his long bony finger at the man, the pope said to an attendant, "Take that piece of statuary back to the Vatican" These incidents show the temper of these two popes.
Mr. Crawford is usually called "The American Novelist," though why this title should always follow his name is not quite clear. He was not born in America, and has never lived here for any length of time. His stories are not American except two of his poorest. And he is not American in appearance or manner. He is a striking looking man with more than six feet of athletics, well-built frame, square shoulders on which are set a fine head, not year well covered with hair. He has a large, rather hooked nose and a big mouth with a big muschel and is in short, such a looking man as he has described at least once in each story he has written. He has a smooth pleasant voice and speaks rapidly but distinctly, with a foreign pronunciation. His manner is unmistakably foreign in its well-bred elegance.
The latest thing from Crawford's pen is

AMONG THE COLLEGES.
his "Coreleone, which although only completed in the March Munsey is having a big sale in book form. It has always seemed wonderful that Crawford's stories are so popular. They are good stories, by one who knows how to tell them, but they seem so foreign and irrelevant to our complicated life that is engaging our every fiber, that it is surprising that people find time to read them. Coreleone is the thirtieth volume from Crawford's pen since r882. It is a continuation of the series that contains "Saraciusca," Sant Ilario," and "Don Orsoino." It is concerned with the thrilling love affair of Don Orsoino, the character that Mr. Crawford has taken the greatest care to develop.

HOUSE
Thursday night April $ _{14} $ , Lillian Lewis will present her Cuban war play, "For Liberty and Love."
Innes' Store News.
Seats on sale Tuesday morning.
The policy of the present managers o Miss Lillian Lewis is to present her to the public in a dignified manner—To allow no sensationalism to be circulated regarding her—To make her surroundings worthy of her—and to provide her with plays worthy of her talent —her art and and personality—Every one in the theatrical and newspaper world will readily admit that M ss Lewis is the foremast and best exponent of the romantic school of heroines on the American stage. There are other great actresses—but in the field of romantic drama—there is today but one American woman on the American stage to whom the term "great" can be applied—and that one is Lillian Lewis—What Fetcher and Adams were to romantic heroes—Lillian Lewis is to romantic heroes—Lillian Lewis today should occupy the same position on the American stage—that Bernhardt holds on the French stage-Her natural gifts and her art attainments entitle her to that. Bernhardt is a romantic tragedienne and so is Lewis.

A College Romance
A certain young member of the Beta Fraternity was recently calling on a young Pi Phi friend of his. In fact he was taking Sunday dinner with her. The shades of night began to fall and our young hero did not return to his home the Beta House. Perhaps the blissful hours sped away so quickly that he was not aware of the approaching darkness. Six o'clock came still he tarried. By this time his companions naturally came to the conclusion that he had taken up his abode at the house of our heroine and in their brotherly love gathered up his effects in his dress suit case and sent them to him. Before, however, they reached their destination, he had left to return home and it was a great puzzle to the young lady the meaning of the valise till the cause of its mission was explained. She suggested to the messenger to return with the valise but the wily Betas had promised to pay him only on the consideration that he leave it there. Thereupon he returned for his pay and it was the sad (?) lot of our poor young hero to return and claim his property.
A "Ducker" Ducked
During vacation four students went up the Kaw for a day's duck hunt. The boat was flat-bottomed, the oars broken and the current of the river swift.
The journey up the river was for the most part uneventful, excluding running up on sand bars or into brushwood. Two roast ducks sufficed as a dinner for the boys. In the afternoon they rowed across the river to an island. There three of the boys got out, the fourth one still remaining in the boat and collecting the guns. The boys on the bank took hold of the chain and told the one in the boat to sit down on the back seat of the boat, so they could draw the front end farther up on land. Then came a pull and a splash. All was not over—just out. The water was deep and cold. The man overboard grasped the boat and was soon on land. Just then it occurred to him that he had dropped the gun in his descent and he had to re-enter the relentless Kaw and recover his shot gun.

Senior Class Proceedings
The meeting of the Senior class held Thursday noon was well attended. Mr Douglass made a report in regard to the Senior Annual. His report was adopted On motion it was decided that the pictures of the members of the class should appear in groups of seven on a page instead of having a separate half-tone plate made for each member of the class as has been the custom heretofore. Since the meeting many have expressed dissatisfaction thinking that this action was hastily taken and that the single plates would be preferable. The Annual promises to be a much more elaborate and successful affair than has been gotten out by any class of the University for several years.
Mr. Boone presented the report of the committee on Senior play. The play is now completed.
Messrs. Will Walker and Wilkie Clock were nominated for managers of the play; Mr. Walker was elected. On motion the play committee and the manager were instructed to assign the parts. The play is entirely original and will be highly entertaining, taken in, as it does, every phase of University life.
TRACK MEN AT WORK.
Some Recent Nebraska Records.
Notwithstanding that we have no decien track, our track and field athletes are hard at work every night on McCook field. All through the vacation from fifteen to twenty were worked out daily. Now that the University has reopened men may be found on the field every nice afternoon making use of the scanty apparatus provided for the management In view of the coming Trans-Mississippi meet, which according the Nebraskan seems now to be an assured fact, some of the records made at the Nebraska's indoor might be of interest as showing the comparative form of the Athletes of the two Universities at this season.

Meet to Be Held Arbor Day April 17-
Faculty Race a Feature.
JOCKEY CLUB RENDEZVOUS.
What rollicking good times are always had at the meet of the K. U. Jockey club, every student who was here two years ago will remember.
The club has been organized, and the third meet will be held the afternoon of Arbor day, Friday April 15, at the race tracks.
For that afternoon frovility will reign supreme. Well known students will be seen in the role of jockeys, stable boys, peanut and pop-corn vendors, to say nothing of course of those important personages the judges, timer, and starters.
It is whispered, too, that a certain popular student of diminutive frame but with sporting instincts, resplendent in a bright waist coat ordered directly from New York, clad in a suit with the loudest of checks, with patent leathers and tan spots to match, and from whose shirt front will sparkle the largest glass diamond ever put on exhibition in Kansas, will, in flat violation of the Cubbison or any other Law, make up a book and sell pools on the races on the grounds.
The races are warranted to be on the square, pulling under the wire will be positively forbidden and any plunger found tampering with the jockies will be promptly ruled off the track.
The program has not been entirely made up but the sport presented will be fully up to the standard set by the K. U. Jockey Club and far and away ahead of that offered by such minor organizations as the New York or Sheepshead Bay Jockey Clubs. Prizes of great value will be given to the winners and a 'Varsity cup to the winner of the K. U. Derby.
One of the most entertaining as well as one of the most hotly contested events, will doubtless be the Faculty Sweepstakes. An admission fee of twenty-five cents will be charged. According to the traditional policy of the club, the proceeds will be devoted to the Student's Loan fund. The officers of the organization are Carl Cooper, president; Dana McVicar, vice-president; Fred Wood, secretary; Vctor Boone, treasurer.
Entries will close Thursday, and should be handed at once to the secretary. Entries are open to any student in the University.
Nebraska Debaters Chosen.
The University of Nebraska chose the nine men who will compose her debaters with Kansas, Missouri and Colorado at two preliminaries last week. The men choose where they will go in the order of their rank, and it is likely that Warner, Matson and Perry will be the team that will meet our representatives.
Baker, who was the mainstay of Nebraska's team here last year, won second place in the preliminaries, and will doubtless be the leader of the team that will represent Nebraska at Colorado.

THE DECISION WAS TWO TO ONE
In the First Annual Dsbate B-tween the Universities of Missouri and Kansas, Missouri Is Victorious.
A fair sized audience heard the Kansas-Missouri debate at Frazer hall last evening upon the following subject: Resolved, That an income tax would be a desirable part of our system of taxation.
Chief justice Doster of Topeka presided. The judges were President Boyd of University of Oklahoma, H. S. Julien of Kansas City, Missouri, and J. W. Glesd of Topeka.
Judge Doster after a few preliminary remarks, introduced the first speaker for the a firmative, Mr. W. S. Kretsinger of Kansas University.
Mr. Kretsinger said that our present system of taxation was unjust; that it was inadequate in that it lacked in fiscal stability He said that the opposing side must prove that our present system was adequate and establish the evil of the income tax. An income tax would enable the government to adjust the amount to be collected to that required. He affirmed that three-fifths of our present taxes went into the coffers of places of trust: that our present system was unjust, because it distributed the burden unequally upon the people; it raises prices; that property does not share its due part in taxation. He would reduce the tariff and require wealth to support its share.
Mr. J. S. McLntyre the negative for Missouri. After thankening the students for the kind treatment the Missouri debaters had received, he said: "The affirmative has not even claimed that the income tax is not a just one in theory. Ever man pays his taxes according to ability. What is man's ability? The affirmative must explain its workings.
The income tax is undesirable. 1. It is inferior to the present system. 2. It will be shifted. 3. It is inquisitorial. 4. It will be evaded. Our present tax is voluntary, more than one half of it is levied upon luxuries; It can collected and it is free from evasion. Adam Smith, Ricardo and Mills say that a tax upon trade falls upon labor or consumption.
The income tax is inquisitorial and reveals a man's profit to his competitors.
In regard to the evasions of the income tax Mr. McIntyre showed on an illustrated chart that during the civil war the tax was evaded about one half in some states while in others it amounts finally to an evasion of nine-tenths of the tax. Mr. McIntyre closed by briefly recapitulating.
B. B. McCall was the second speaker for the affirmative. He referred to the argument of his opponent as an illustrated lecture. He said that our present system of taxation is based upon consumption. He said that our present system was inadequate to the needs of government and it was not conducive to progress. He briefly outlined the condition of the treasury from 1789 to the present time, The revenue cannot suffer in time of stress, In times of prosperity we had a surplus, in times of war we had a deficit. From conditions in the United States in the last few years it is evident that a change in our system of taxation is necessary! A nation of income tax would remedy the defects! It places the same amount in the treasury that it takes from the pockets of the individual. It does not paralyze business it gives some degree of elasticity in our revenue He cited the success of the income lax in England and refuted the argument that it would be more inquisitorial here than taxes,
Mr. L. E. Durham, the second speaker for Missouri followed Mr. McCall. He said in part: The political conditions of the United States are against an income tax. The constitution attempted to provide against class legislation, but an income tax would bring about class legislation. It must necessarily be sectional because wealth is concentrated in certain portions of the country.
Sectional lines are always drawn when the question is considered. There will also be animosity in this section legislation and the income tax is a good example. The tendency is to make the exemption higher and higher in order to make it fall upon the rich.
There must be three conditions to make
taxes elastic. The government must be able to anticipate receipts; it must be able to anticipate receipts from customs and if it has an incom tax it must be able to anticipate receipts from this tax. Mr. Durham then showed by a chart how much harder it is to anticipate revenues in the United States than in England. England is an old country and incomes are more firmly fixed. This country has no budget as England and therefore it is much harder to determine what revenues would arise from an income tax.
Guy Simpson said that the purpose of the affirmative had been to build argument. They had compared two systems and had discussed the income tax from the points of justice and adequacy and that he himself would discuss from an economic standpoint. He said that taxes on consumers would be unjust; that they would be shifted from manufacturer to merchant and thence to the actual consumer, and necessarily a very great part of the burden would fall upon the poor. The expense of collecting taxes, if we had an income tax in addition to our present system, would be the same, yet there would be a double source from which to collect. He said that the affirmative advocated an income tax with an exemption—moderate living expenses would be exempted. The income tax answers ever requisite for an ideal tax.
My first colleague proved that income tax is unjust, second colleague proved that it is not elastic.
W. C. Hoch said in part:
The law works in Germany but laws there are more injurious.
The political and economic conditions of England are entirely different from what they are here.
Incomes in England are more fixed but even there the tax is evaded. The income tax is a necessity in England but it is not a necessity here.
The income tax has proved a fiscal failure in Italy, India and the United States and an ethical failure wherever it has been tried. There will be a great cost in collecting it.
He said he would admit all that the affirmative had claimed for the income tax with one provision, that it should be state income taxes The federal government raises its revenues indirectly rather than directly.
Mr. Hock then briefly summarized the arguments of the negative.
Old King Cole is a merry old soul,
A merry old soul is he.
He buys all his COALS of J. L. Bolles;
No wonder so jolly is he.
He bought all his wood,
And feed all he could.

FORMER JOCKEY CLUB MEETS
ECLIPSED.
Large and Fashionable Crowd-Feature of the Afternoon.
The goddess of laughter and murmun reigned supreme yesterday afternoon. Arbor Day, 1898, was a gala day for Kansas University students. The occasion was the third annual meet of the K. U. jockey club and it may be confidently asserted that all former meets of that noted racing association were completely outclassed. Well known students masqueraded as horsemen, jockeys, policemen, and two even went so far as to dom feminine garments and do the high society hose-show act coming out to the track in a trap drawn by two snow white horses, with a swell footman in the person of Ben Herfoot. This turnout was undoubtedly the most unique of the afternoon and with Miss Jack Harris as driver and Miss George Robinson for his companion created meriment wherever seen.
THE PARADE.
The parade started from the rink at two o'clock and marched east to Massachusetts street then south to the end of that street. No parade more replete with odd coo-tumes and handsome turnouts has ever graced the streets of Lawrence.
It was led by three mounted police whose haughty looks proclaimed that Lawrence was theirs for that day.
Behind the police came the Indian band on foot, next came splendid turnouts in which rode the directors of the club followed by all kind of traps and carriages.
In this aggregation were represented almost every nation on the globe. There was the Italian and the native of that country farthest north from whence only Dyche's courge could rescue stranded Peary.
The mixed band brought up the rear of the procession.
Taken as a whole the parade was entirely successful participants excited the laughter of all who saw them.
AT THE TRACK
The parade reached the track shortly before three o'clock. The German band led by Hudson, and accompanied by Dr. "judy" Allen, the celebrated patent medicine man soon made its appearance. The band which was brought especially from Koster and Bral's for the occasion was very anxious to show itself off and it was sometime before the police could get them off the track which they would persist in marching up and down playing. By 9 o'clock over three hundred people had assembled.
THE SPORT BEGINS.
At 3:10 sharp the contestants appeared for the novice bicycle race, and the crowd held their breath as Starter Means pulled the trigger. The men got off well with Leonard and Toby as pace makers. Avery won by a good margin in 1:24 3-5 with Hamilton second
Of the ten horses entered for the second race, but two came to the post, much to the chagrin of the many friends of Moody's "Poker_chip" and Blackman's "Do it again," who had placed great confidence in the speed and endurance of these steeds. The finish was the most exciting of the day and to many it looked like a dead heat. Kentucky Blue Eyes, Harry Riley, jockey, won, however, by a nose from Morgan, the cowboy's Jimnie G., from the Blackstone stables. Time 14 1-5 seconds.
In the next race, the 100 yards dash, a chance was given to size up the *Varsity* sprinters. Only three of the eight entries started, however, and Speak had rather an easy time of it, winning in 11 seconds, Cook getting second place.
The sack race afforded much amusement. Sutton won first, Snyer second, while Copley fell all over himself in a vain endeavor to take long steps in uterine defiance of the sack Moulton won the wheel-barrow race, Snyer second.
The potato race was the third of the ludicious events. Owens took first place, though pressed hard by Phillips.
There were seven starters in the half-mile bike handicap. Avery took this race from scratch, making his second victory in the wheel race while Hamilton 10 yds. again took second.
The 220 dash was won by Speak with cook secend; time 24 sec.

for the big event of the day the K, U. Derby' Secretary Wood came hurrying down the track with a telegram just received from "Lucky" Baldwin reading, "Horse entered from Theta stables to stainlie is a ringer. Really Eugene Field's Lady Lil." The telegram was handed up into the judge's stand and read by Announcer Chamberlain. Its contents was no sooner made known than Jockey "Tod" Sloan Cockins, Kittie's rider, was off his horse in a moment and gesticulating wildly. At the same time Foxhall Keeney Rodgers managing representative of the Theta stables, jumped out in front of the judges' stand and shook his fist in the Secretary's face. Hot words followed and the secretary demanded both jockey and manager be ruled off the track. A crowd gathered around and it was all Marshal Jim Monroe Manley and Patrolmen T. Roosevelt Learnand Parkhurst McChellan could to avoid a fight. As it was Rodgers led the marshal a merry chase half way round the track and Speak got away with Patrollman Learnard's hat. Quiet was finally restored. The judges after mature deliberation decided the charges to be unfounded and to be the result partly of Lucky Baldwin's jealousy of the Theta stables and partly of the known enmity between the secretary and jockey Cockins. So after fining Cockings go and ruling Rodders off the track for one year, the horse was allowed to start.
COCKINS WINS THE DERBY.
The excitement having subsided the horses Brown stable's Kappa, Hudson jockey, and the Kittie, took their places for the start. Both jockeys seemed disposed to delay the start but after a warning from the starter the horses got away well on the second trial. Kappa took the lead at the flag and sustained it undiminished to the quarter pole. Here Cockins on Kitta began to urge his horse and passed Kappa at the three eight's mark. Once into the stretch Kittie increased her lead at every stride and passed under the wire, a good winner in 59 seconds.
After the Derby the judges awarded the special prizes. Miss McCurdy got the blue ribbon for the best lady driver, the Brrb girls first prize for the swellest turnout, while jack Harris, George Robinson and Ben Kerfoot in their masquerade as swell society women with their footman took the prize for the most ingenious turnout with their trap and white horses.
NOTES.
To much praise cannot be given to Cooper, Walker Boone and McKinnie.
Dale Gear's modest is guilty of those wores "hold ups."
Moulton showed he was thoroughly used to being hitched to a wheelbarrow.
The best costume of the day was that of a Mexican worn by Millo Morgan.
The way Owen went after those Murphys took the cake.
Smith and Steele fought desperately for lost places in two bicycle races.
The way in which Miss McCurdy handled her span of horses excited much admiration.
The music produced by the German band demonstrated that each member was an artist in his line, but we must confess we we don't believe his tine is music.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 16, 1898
A SECOND BALL TEAM.
There are several advantages aside from that of practice, arising from the formation of a second ball team.
No man's work can be accurately judged from practice alone. He must be seen in a game; under fire, as it were Neither can a man's work be fairly judged by one day's play.
Two teams both made up of candidates for the 'Varsity will give every man a show. It will be a good thing for the candidates for it will give all the same advantage. It will be a good thing for the captain for it will allow him to select his men with more discretion. It will be a good thing for the team, for it will compel each man to earn his place and to work hard to hold it. It will be a good thing for the whole school. It will create a greater interest in baseball. Suppose our football team never played a practice game. Instead the men got out every afternoon and kicked the ball around and fell on it and practiced signals and formulated without any opposing line. Do you think people would take as much interest in football as they do? The "fans" would but the student body would not. As it is, however, they come out to the practice games, get interested in the work of individual candidates, gossip about the plays and players. Just so with base ball. At present the interest is confined almost wholly to thirty-third degree "fans." But let there be a rattling hot practice game on the athletic field two or three times a weeks and it will be surprising to see the increased interest.
This scheme will also make favoritism impossible. As it is now many people have an idea that favoritism and not merit picks the team. We have reason to know that there is nothing in this character, but if there is, nothing will show it up quicker than these practice games between the two teams, and if as we believe, there is nothing in the charge, there is no easier way to disprove it than by the work done in these games by the candidates in the field.
Finally, it will help develop material for future as well as for present teams. Let us by all means have a second ball team. It will insure a better team, more frequent practice, greater interest, and more and surer victories.
A WAY FOR NEEDED PRACTICE.
The recent ball games with the Indians have shown several needed things. Among others they have made apparent poor team work, and base running which can hardly be denominated as otherwise than stupid.
Of course it is as yet early in the season, but the sooner these two defects are mended, the sooner will the team be in shape to play gilt edge and winning ball.
The WEEKLY has long been of the opinion that a second ball team should be organized to play two or three games a week with the 'Varity.
This scheme has several advantages. First, it gives the Varsity a chance to improve its team work. The more games the men play, the better they will work together.
In the next place it will give the boys a chance to improve their running. There
is always a disposition among amateurs to hug the bases. Competent critics have said that our poor base running at Lincoln last year was one of the things that lost us the game. As long as our efforts in this important feature of the game are confined to what practice we get in scheduled games with outside teams we may expect to hear this same criticism. Games which are played to be won are no place for experiment and practice. But if frequent games could be played with a second team, the element of victory would be secondary to that of practice and the men would soon find out what they could do on bases and learn to have confidence in themselves.
KANSAS-NEBRASKA
Large Audience Assembles to Hear the Final Preliminary.
Last Monday evening an enthusiastic audience gathered at Music hall to hear the final preliminary of the Kansas-Nebraska debate. The hall was filled and many were obliged to go to the galleries to secure seats.
When the proper time arrived, Prof. Green called order. In well chosen words he told the purpose of the meeting and explained the manner of proceeding. To the right of the chairman the speakers for the affirmative were seated about a table, to his left were the speakers for the negative seated in like position Mr. P. S. Elliott, who sat back of the chairman acted as time-keeper.
Thus there was, not, as is so often the case on similar occasions, a row of debaters forced by their position to look like prisoners waiting for their sentence.
The subject of the debate was: Resolved that the English cabinet system of government would be better for the United States than the congressional form. Each debater was given eight minutes for an opening speech and three minutes for rebuttal. The preceding Saturday it was decided by lot which side each debater would champion. It was decided that Mr. Baumgartner, Mr. Decker, and Mr. Criisman would speak on the affirmative and that Mr. Layton, Mr Cueadle and Mr. Jackson would represent the negative.
The first speaker was Mr. Bungartner who represented Snow Literary society. He skillfully presented the subject under discussion, with the exception of a slight hesitancy his delivery was good. W. H. Layton of the Kent club followed with the opening of the negative. He had the subject well in hand. The direct questions which he flung to his opponents showed his natural power as a debater. He warmed up to his subject and the audience would have staid the time-keeper's call. As he took his seat significant nods throughout the audience meant that it was conceded that he was sure of a place in the final encounter with Nebraska.
Mr. Pearl Decker of the Brownell Debating club then came forward. He happily blended oratory and logic. With true eloquence he drove his arguments home. When he closed the greatest applause of the evening broke forth. Mr. Cheadle, of the Senior Art class, presented good argument for the negative. He spoke impressively, and with practice will have an excellent delivery. Mr. Crisman, another representative of the Senior Art class, followed with a well prepared argumentation. He received the close attention of all. The Green Law Debating club was represented by Mr. Thos. Jackson, who closed the debate for the negative. Mr. Jackson is a unique speaker. His arguments were good. His strong individuality asserted itself and he received a very hearty applause. The closing speeches were good and the debate was ended before the audience had become the least bit wrong.]
The judges, Mr. George Innis, ex-congressman Moore and Judge Horton gave first rank to Pearl Decker, second to W. A. Layton, third to J. B. Cheadle. Kansas University can be proud of her representatives. They will go to Lincoln the first Friday in May and effect a victory for the crimson and blue.

Mr. Bryan's recent trip to town and his gift of $450 to the University recalls an experience of the base ball boys at Lincoln last year. The team arrived Friday afternoon, played two games on Saturday, and left for Manhattan Monday morning enroute home. Several of the boys] had had never been in Lincoln before, and getting together on Sunday, they resolved to "do" the town. Among other objective points was the residence of William J. Bryan, where it was proposed to make a call," just to show the old man there is no hard feeling," one of the boys remarked who had cast his maiden vote for Wm. McKinley a few months previous.
A kodak was procured and two of the more "brassy" fellows wagered that they would not leave Lincoln until they had a snap shot of Bryan. Arrived at the house a firm push of the button brought Bryan's private secretary to the door. This gentleman at once informed the boys that Mr. Bryan did not receive callers on Sunday. This was "running up against it" at the very outside. But they were not dismaved
Whatever else may be said of Kansas University students they cannot be accused of being slow. A chat was begun with the private secretary, an incident complimentary to him, which one of the boys had picked up in the newspaper, was related, several other compliments passed, and presently the boys had the secretary "on the run." But still he refused, though now somewhat reluctantly, to grant an interview with Mr. Bryan. He was prevailed upon, however, to permit his picture to be taken on the porch with the boys, and also a front and side view of the house, with himself and the boys on the lawn.
Mr. Bryan who had been sitting in his study, had by this time become interested in what was going on outside, and came to the open bay window to look out. In less than an instant the kodak was shifted toward him and though he dodged back when he saw what the boys were up to, he was too late, the camera had gotten in its work.
Although the interview failed the visitors came away with a splendid 4x4 likeness of Mr. Bryan. In the picture he is shown as moving backward with a broad smile on his face. Evidently he enjoyed the joke as well as the boys.
The Sigma Chi-Phi Psi game of the fraternity series has been postponed until Tuesday afternoon on account of the Jockey club meet.

University of California, Berkeley,
Evening.
AN INCIDENT.
Without, the rain was falling with ever increasing violence, water was standing in huge pools everywhere, and an all-nigh session of the library was imminent. This particular student had a lady friend there, for whose health he was greatly concerned. It was a considerable distance to her home, and the only remedy was a hack. He started for the telephone with haste, when it occurred to him that he had left his money at home. He tried to borrow some but all the students of his acquaintance were in the same financial condition as he. Finally he succeeded in getting it, and then he learned that Central could not be obtained through the telephone. His anxiety increased. He hurried to the door of the library, then back to his lady friend, then up and down stairs. By this time the attention of all the people had become riveted upon him. He eyed them with cold disdain. He evidently concluded that was a question of life and death with the girl who was near and dear to him.
Juggested improve, some tile laid along the sides of the road teat extends in front of the Mason building.
About six o'clock the rain ceased and with a glance of triumph at his "audience," he departed with his ——

Sigma Chis Win the First of the Inter-
Frat Games.
Capt. Williams had blood in his eye as he "tossed up" with Capt. Banks, and when he lost the toss it was evident that arbitration was at an end and that hostilities must commence at oace. Stanley and Cates who were diplomatically throwing the sphere within the Phi Delt boundary were recalled and the bombardment of the first engagement began.
Speaks stepped boldly forward with a Spauling rapid fire gun on his shoulder and sent a ball whistling through the opponents line with such effect that he gained the first fortress without opposition. Williams followed with a double action repeater, and when he had ceased manovering he had made a complete reconnoitre of the enemy's territory and returned to his comrades, bringing Speaks in ahead of him. Cheer after cheer went up from the assembled multitude as they viewed from the distance the masterstroke made by the opening of the fight.
Stanley and Cates aided by Clark, Rising, Harney and Mc Vickers now rushed into the fray'ere the smoke of the first part of the engagement had cleared away and the Phi Delts were able to take the aggressive, the Sigma Chis had made twelve salietted toward victory.
Outgeneralled at every point the Phi Delta Theta warriors were none the less 'game,' and at the end of one and one-half hours struggle had made twelve distinct inroads into their rivals' territory as against the twenty-three which were made in their own.
Banks, Lee and McVickers did great work for the defeated, and the struggle though one-sided, was much enjoyed.

At the same time a substitute was offered declaring for a course to provide for a proper proportion of five different subjects, language, mathematics, history and literature, nature and physical science, civics and economics. This substitute also expressed the view that the work should be optional to a large extent so as to meet the special needs of individual students and schools.

Resolutions were submitted last year declaring for the continuous study of language and mathematics through the entire high school course and through Freshmen and Sophomore years, stipulating that two languages other than English, be pursued and that no other studies should interfere with the pre-eminence of the branches named
The resolution and substitute were both laid on the table till this year's meeting. Last year the sentiment was about evenly divided between them. This year the substitute passed without a dissenting voice.
North Central Association of Colleges Resolutions in Favor of Course Similar to Our Own.
The most important question which came up for discussion related to the course of study for the high schools and for the Freshmen, and Sophomore years in colleges.
Chancellor Snow has returned from the annual meeting of the North Central association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The convention was held in the Auditorium hotel, Chicago. One hundred delegates were present, representing twelve states. President James H. Caufield, of Ohio State Universy, formerly holding the chair of Economics and History in this institution, was president of the association for the last year, presided.
The suggestions contained in this resolution are in direct accord with the revised course of study in this institution, published exclusively in the WEEKLY some weeks ago.
Among the delegates were President Stevens, of Colorado College, Chancellor McDowell, of Colorado State University, Chancellor McLean, of Nebraska, President Adams, of Wisconsin, President Jesse, of Missouri, President Swan, of Indiana, and President Draper, of Illinois.
Apropos of this course of study it might be said that Chancellor Snow showed the revised course to Prof. O'Shea, who read a very philosophical paper on the subject at the convention. Prof. O'Shea seemed much surprised to find that here in Kansas we had already solved the problem causing so much worry and trouble at other places.
Some very important subjects were discussed at the meeting and some very scholarly papers read.
Our solution it might be added is directly in line with the professor's own philosophical theories.

Girls Will Give a Pennant.
The young women of the Pi Beta Phi, Kappa Alpha Theta and Kappa Kappa Gamma met together Tuesday to discuss the matter of a pennant to be awarded to the winner of the series of inter-fraternity ball games. It was decided to make the pennant more elaborate than the one last year, and to have it awarded from year to year to the winner of the league games. Misses Maxwell, Stone and Brown constitute a committee to design and make the pennant. It was decided to hold another meeting in the near future to discuss plans for a Pan-Hellenic party. A committee will also be appointed to arrange all matters in which the three fraternities are mutually interested.
These meetings on common ground do much to overcome the feeling of petty jealousy and rivalry which unfortunately seems to exist between the organizations.
H. S. Hadley '92 Falls Into a Good Thing.
The following from the Kansas City Star tells of the success and good luck which has attended the legal fortunes of Herbert S. Hadley '92:
Herbert S. Hadley has been appointed first assistant city counselor to succeed George Jones, resigned. The appointment took effect today. The place carries a salary of $2,400 a year.
Since January 1st Mr. Hadley, by special arrangement with the city's legal department, has conducted the defense in all the damage suits against the city. He is a young lawyer who has for four years practiced in Kansas City as a member of the firm of Brown, Hadley & Swift, with offices in the New York Life building. He is a graduate of the collegiate department of the Kansas State University and was graduated in law from Northwestern University.
Snow Literary.
President Baumgartner in the chair as usual and called the meeting, to order
as usual and called the meeting to order The program of the evening was opened by a discussion of "Progress in Invention of Destructive weapons," by Mr. Moischer. He traced the inventions of weapons of warfare from prehistoric times when man perhaps used the sling for such purposes, later the bow, spear, and finally after the invention of gunpowder, the cannon. Then he described the manufacture of modern guns and their projectiles. The talk was closed by a remark to the effect that so much
progress had been made. along this line that nations would hardly dare fight.
Albert Rundel gave an impartial discussion of the metropolitan police law. Its purpose was to carry out the prohibitory law in cities of the first class, and although it had some evils on account of the local sentiment to support it, theoretically it was a good law.
The debate coming next was upon the all-absorbing Cuban question: Resolved, that the President should declare war. Blaine Moore led the affirmative by giving a review of the insurrection, the sufferings of the reconcentratees and claimed that the United States would not have suffered such an indignity as the Maine affair from any other nation than Spain.
Mr. Logan spoke first for the negative. He claims that the Cuban sufferings would not necessarily be bettered by a war, though a Spanish-American conflict would involve the whole world, that the insurgents might by arbitration be given their liberty, and denied that war would make "good times."
Mr. Baker was second speaker for the affirmative, giving it as his opinion that the conflict which seemed now impending would not draw all nations into a war.
For his part he was anxious to obtain some town practice with a gun.
Mr. Gwin spoke on the negative side and presented the following rules, which justified war: 1. Self-preservation. 2. When a great moral question was at stake. 3. When the rights of a nation were trampled upon. He maintained that none of these causes were in existence.
The judges gave the decision to the negative.
Then the president and others had a parliamentary drill which was participated in with much interest.
The regular monthly election of officers was held and resulted as follows: president, W. J. Baugartner; vice-president, Albert Rundel; secretary, Blaine Moore; treasurer, Mr. Logan; sergeant-at-arms, Geo. R. Crisman.

Varsety Wins the Second of the Games with the Indians.
The 'Varsity played in luck last Saturday. Though outbatted by the Indians, a fortunate bunching of hits caused victory to perch upon K. U's blue and crimson banner for a second time in this year's series with the Indians.
It must be admitted too that the Indians played a better game in the field than did our boys. Their work was characterized by a snap and vim which was lacking in most our men.
K. U. 9. HASKELL 8.
Ellis was easily the star of the team in the field, his first base play being of the brightest order. Curry caught a nice game, besides getting two timely hits with the bases full. Swett, though hit hard, pitched a steady game and kept perfectly cool.
Housh led the team at bat, getting four hits, only one less than the whole number accredited to the team, and played his usual snappy game in the field as well.
Between second and third there was a weak spot. Here the lack of team work was most apparent.
The out-field had but little to do.
Perhaps the most discouraging feature of the game was the poor base running done by our boys.
For the Indians, Agusta Moonlight and the Keebers did the best work. The following was the score in detail:

K. U. 14: Baskell 6.
The few "fans" who braved the mud and wind and went out to Haskell on Wednesday were rewarded by seeing an exciting game of ball in which K. U. again came on top. This was the second game of the series, the practice game played at Haskell a few weeks ago not counting, and Haskell had to win it to win the series, so they put Augusta in the box.
But Ike's curves seemed very much the Jayhawkers liking and they touched him up for twenty hits including three home runs. In many ways, however, Augusta pitched a phenomenal game. He struck out thirteen men and with the exception of the ninth inning when our boys got eight hits netting as many runs, was steady at critical times, noticeably, in the fourth inning, when with three men on bases he struck out Housh, Snyder and Swett.
Ellis did the twirling for K. U., and pitched steady, heady ball. He had all kinds of curves, and speed to burn, and that pitching against the wind. Altogether his work was very encouraging to those who have been afraid that we would be short on pitchers.

The infield had a number of chances, but with the possible exception of a single catch of Housh's, none were at all difficult. Most of the balls came right into their hands, and it was impossible to judge from the chances the new men had whether they could cover any ground or not. The t am work was a little better than than that of Saturday's game though nothing to boast of Wednesday. Twice the whole infield except Swett went out to help Housh catch a short fly over second, leaving that bag entirely unguarded. The outfield had but few chances and those like the infields were right in their hands. At the bat Curry added to his reputation as a timely hitter, and lead his team with four hits, including a home run and a double.

Snow, After-Dinner Speaker. Chancellor Snow has received an invitation to be the guest of the trustees of the Missouri Botanical Garden at the annual banquet to be held at St. Louis on May 14th. The invitation includes a request to make the principle after dinner speech of the evening.
Chancellor Snow, After-Dinner Speaker.
These gardens, familiarly known as Shaw's Gardens, were made possible by the generous bequest of Mr. Henry Shaw, who left his fortune to be applied in the establishment of the gardens and of a school of research. There is an unusual staff of botanical investigators in the pay of the trustees.
By the will of Mr. Shaw a part of this bequest is set aside as a fund, the interest of which amounting to $1,000 is to be used to defray the expenses of an annual banquet. It is to this banquet that Chancellor Snow has been invited. One hundred guests are invited annually. Particular attention is given in making up the invitation list to see that those particularly interested in botany shall comprise the greater part of the guests. Since the Chancellor's old chair was that of botany and entomology, his selection to deliver the principle address at the banquet is particularly fitting.
A Correction.
In an article in the last number of the WEEKLY, the statement was made that the Barteaux essay prize in English literature is to be offered for the best essay submitted by a Junior or Senior, May 1st. This is an error. The prise was offered last year, and was won by Mr. C. M. Sharpe; but the offer has not been renewed.

TO ARMS! TO ARMS!
TROOPS PASS THROUGH LAWRENCE ON THEIR WAY TO THE COAST.
CARRY A FLAG FROM THE "U."
Excitement the Order of the Day Yesterday-Two Regiments in All Pass Through.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it just; and this be our motto—"In God is our trust"—And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave o'r the land of he free, and the home of the brave.
Never have these patriotic words of Francis Scott Key been so realistically brought home to the students of the University of Kansas as when on yesterday morning five hundred and fifty blue coated heroes passed through Lawrence on their way to fight for their nation's honor and in humanity's carrying away with them the Cuban flag which floated from the University flag-staff on Thursday.
The University as good as closed abruptly, shortly before ten o'clock. Such schereaching and screaming of whistles had never been heard, each man turned to his neighbor and inquired excitedly "What does it mean?" Then some one said, "The troops are going through," After that there was no use trying to hold classes or anything else. It was soon learned that only the first of two sections had passed through, and that the other would be along in about a half hour.
When this became noised abroad who thought of study and and what professor thought of conducting recitation? It was no use. Nobydy was interested at that moment in the extraction of Greek roots or even in the campaigns of Napoleon. Our own country was about to prepare for a campaign of its own and we of the great restless, excitable, patriotic west were stirred. Staid seniors and timid feshmen called excitedly for their hats at the check stand, and in battalions and squads started on the double quick for the Santa Fe denot.
At the depot they mingled with a surging, cheering mob of townspeople. There must have been 2,000 people, nearly half of whom were students, waiting for the troops. Many carried flags, and all brought their voices.
As the train whistled,Dick Rogers, "Billy" Cockins and George Robinson came tearing down the street with sheaCubn flag which Rodgers and Francis had run up on the "U's" flagstaff the morning before.
The crowd made room for the boys who flung the lone star of Cuba Libre to the breeze beside the stars and stripes.
From Captain Young, second in command of this detachment, a WEEKLY reporter learned that the train carried four companies of the Seventh Infantry from Fort Logan, Denver. Four other companies under the command of Colonel Carpenter commander of the Seventh went on the first train. The' troops had been ordered first to New Orleans but were now bound for Chickamaugua. The two sections carried in all five hundred and fifty men.
The train was coming around the bend now and as the crowd caught sight of it, a great shout arose, hand flags were waved and the soldiers as the train pulled in stuck their heads out of the windows and waived their hats. The train stopped for a few minutes, and the regulars got out to stretch their legs, and mingle with the crowd.
and who by the way is the senior captain in the United States army caught sight of the boys Cuban flag and asked if he could take it to war with him. The boys to whom the flag belonged, were only too proud togrant the captain's request. The captain was then lifted up onto the baggage truck and made a little speech, thanking the boys for the flag and saying he would put it up on the rear platform of the train. Catching sight of Mosse he remarked that he saw the Denver K. U. football game in '96 and laughingly added that he remembered the game to his sorrow.
CAPTAIN COOLIDGE GIVEN THE BOYS FLAG.
Just before the train started Captain Coolidge, in command of this battalion,
Then amid the cheers of the boys the captain clambered down off the truck, boarded the train, and a few seconds later followed by three cheers by the Seventh, the train pulled out of the depot on its way to the coast.
A COLLEGE REGIMENT.
Dr. Woodruff Organizing One.
The troops to be recruited from the Universities of Kansas and Pennsylvania.
The collegemen are not going to be left out in the war. Dr. Woodruff is in communication with his brother, George Woodruff of Philadelphia, coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team in regard to a college regiment.
Of the proposed regiment. "Pensy" is expected to raise 1,000 men and Kansas 200 or 300. Nearly all the foot-ball men have already signified to Dr. Woodruff that they will feel it as a personal insult if they are left out.
To a reporter for the WEEKLY Dr.Wood-
ruff said:
My brother has resigned from the Naval Reserve to organize this regiment. It will be raised provided assurances can be secured from the war department that those who volunteer for this organization will be allowed to remain in one regiment and elect their own officers. As soon as these assurances are received he will telegraph me.
"I expect to raise two or three hundred men from here. We will join the Pennsylvania volunteers, and after the union of the two forces, all officers will be elected; the regiment electing its regimental officers and each company its line officers
For my own part I have no personal ambition in the matter but am willing to shoulder a musket in the ranks."
"MOVE ON"
College Girls Impromptu Porch Party Abruptly Ended.
A number of prominent University girls chaperoned by the popular wife of a popular clergyman walked out to the races Friday of last week. They were almost at the end of Massachusetts street when becoming warm and tired they decided to sit down and rest till the parade passed. Shady porch steps looked comfortable and the uninvited pedestrans proceeded to make themselves at home.
Before the parade arrived however, the house door was energetically opened and a querulous female voice said, "Gar-ris, do you know this is private and not public property? The car has gone up and the car has gone back, and I can't imagine what you are waiting for."
The abashed chaperone managed to utenee "Parade" but was interrupted with "I neither know nor care anything about parades, but I am interested in quiet, which you are disturbing. I am waiting to see you go away." There was nothing for it, so the girls solemnly arose and filed down the street and sat on a fence in the next block while the parade passed.
We are sorry to confess it, but the interest the professors manifest in the WEEKLY is small indeed. A real line paper needs the support of all whom it reaches. Items of general interest of which only the professors are aware never reach the students. A little cooperation on the part of the professors would aid the WEEKLY materially.
The English composition class had an exercise this week in writing locals for the WERKLY.
FOWLER MA-
CHINE SHOPS
GEORGE FOWLER OF KANSAS CITY
THEM.
Means Better Shops Than Hopd for-
Citizens Have Raised $30,000.
George Fowler the Kansas City packer has given the University $18,000 to be used in constructing machine shops for the Electrical Engineering school. The gift came as a god-send to the Board of Regents and will enable them to put up a much more complete building than was anticipated.
The Regents were in session on Tuesday and Wednesday. The principal matter coming before them was the plans for the reconstruction of the burned shops. The committee of citizens appointed to solicit subscriptions for a loan by private citizens and consisting of Messrs Grovenor, Monroe, Bowersock, and Brooks reported that the needed $30,000 had been secured. It was determined to take half of this amount to build the shops. Prof. Blake was empowered to go to Kansas City and consult with architects as to plans for the building.
Prof. Blake returned Thursday morning with a rough draft of plans submitted by Roos & Siemans for the proposed $15,000 structure. Better still he carried in his vest pocket a document which made the heart of Chancellor Snow glad, the offer of Mr. Fowler to give $18,000 for the construction of shops. This offer is conditional upon the expenditure by the regents of $20,000 for apparatus suitable for the building.
The reghents had adjourned on the night before and gone home. A meeting was i immediately called for Wednesday to consider Mr. Fowler's generous gift. There is no doubt but that it will be accepted. As a result of Mr. Fowler's generosity the reghents will be enabled to put up a much more complete building than was at first intended. They will also be enabled to put more money into the machinery needed for the building. And this will be done at a saving to the state. Only $20,000 of the contemplated $30,000 loan will now be needed to comply with the condition of Mr. Fowler's gift. The state will thus save $10,000 and the University will get a better equipped shop.
The new building will be placed on the hill probably south-west of Snow hall and will be called the Fowler shops. Chancellor Snow wore a broad smile when seen by a WEEKLY reporter
"This unexpected gift is very gratifying to me," said the Chancellor. "It insures us a better building than we had hoped. The Regents would not have felt like putting up so complete a structure as this will be. In addition it makes the way easier towards securing a new Chemistry building from the next legislature. Another feature of this matter which is very gratifying to us in the University is the liberality and spontancy with which public spirited private citizen responded to our call for a loan. Not only from Lawrence, but from the two Kansas cities, were subscriptions received. It showed friendliness and interest in the University and made us feel that if we had had a $100,000 catastrophe instead of a $30,000 one that the needed aid could have been secured from half a dozen places."
Vol. VI. No. 10.
Prof. Blake refused to say anything as to the size and character of the building except that it would be thoroughly up to date in every respect and would serve for many years to come.
The shops will be planned by Root & Siemans, of Kansas City Mo., who are experts in this line of construction, having built the new Riverside powerhouse of the Metropolitan Street Railway in Kansas City, the power house of the Metropolitan Water Co., and the half million dollar power house of the Washington and Georgetown Electric Railway at Washington D. C.

A STILL BIGGER CROWD SEES THE COLORED TROOPS.
Twenty-fourth Infantry Goes Through in Three Sections.
Three Sections
A still greater crowd than that of the morning saw the Twenty-fourth infantry (colored) passed through on the Santa Fe in the afternoon. At least a thousand people must have been at the station.
Little attempt was made to hold afternoon classes, but all who wished to see the troops were excused and nearly the whole University took advantage of the permission.
"The train," so Lieutenant Cartwright Regimental Adjutant informed a representative of the WEEKLY, "was only the first of three sections, one of the others being made up of baggage and accoutrements.
The train was late and the delay tedious, but the crowd had come to see the troops and they were not going home till they had seen them. When the crowd caught sight of the engine, they sent up a mighty shout and as the big locomotive got close enough so that the inscription "Remember the Maine" could be seen the noise redoubled.
The regiment consists of twenty-five officers and 483 men. They are altogether from colored regiments in the army, two of infantry and two of cavalry.
"Yes and we want to go to Cuba" put in another officer. Then the band played "The Star Spangled Banner," the engine whistled and the train sped on its way.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 23.1898
Entered at the Lawrence postoffice as second
oass mail matter.
A ball game it appears, is never over till the ninth inning.
It is rumored that a Benedict Arnold club has been formed by the Haskell 'rooters' in the University.
Kansas University still leads the van.
It was the first college to adopt a twentieth century course of study.
The University's Indian "roots" were the very people who shook their heads and said "I told you so" after the Nebraska game last fall.
It is a sad commentary upon our student boy's interest in intellectual contests that half the expenses of the Kansas-Missouri debate must be raised by subscription.
The men who "rooted" against the ball team in the last game with the Indians, are the same fellows who complain of factional spirit and talk loudly of the need of college loyalty.
The Students Herald of Manhattan advocates the removal of the Electrical Engineering school to the Agricultural college. We may soon expect to hear the cry All aboard for the "Corn Patch and Potato Hill Electric Railway! Cars morning, noon and night."
It must have taken Thomas, of the Students Herald, a long time to write those prolix editors on the removal of the Electrical Engineering school. It was the first editorial that has appeared in his columns for weeks.
Just to make good its boast and show that it is not prompted by any feelings of jealousy and rivalry the Students' Herald heads its editorial, advocating the removal of the Electrical Engineering school to Manhattan, K. U. versus K. S. A. C.
No more pesky University graduates will lay out the rural telephone lines, if the Students' Herald of Manhattan has its way. Every rustic youth graduated from the Agricultural College will hereafter be his own electric' expert.
It might possibly be a source of wonderment to the modern Pharisees who lift their eyebrows and inquire if any good thing can come out of Kansas to learn that the course of study unanimously recommended by the North Central Association of Colleges had been adopted by the University of Kansas some months previous.
The most distasteful scene for months was enacted last Saturday on McCook field, when a crowd of University students got out and "rooted" against their own team. We can conceive of no [excuse which would justify such action. The men whom they were trying to rattle were their representatives of [their] University. As such they need the encouragement and support of the whole school. With it they play with [their best spirit and vim. Without it their spirit is gone. Such treatment as they received Saturday would ruin any ball team. Every loyal Jawkawker should blush for his University at the thought of it.
REAL AND UNREAL PROFESSIONAL ISM
We also unqualifiedly favor rules which require our athletes to be up to the proper scholastic standard.
The WEEKLY believes in athletic purity. It is unalterable opposed to the hiring of players for college teams.
On the other hand, we believe that any rule that goes farther than the two points mentioned is unjust to individuals and to the University. If a man is a bona fide student, up to the standard in his classes and receiving no pay from the athletic management, we see no reason why he should not be allowed to play on a University team, even though he may, at some time previous, have received pay as an athlete.
Particularly does this hold good in base ball. Football is almost purely a college sport. The man who has received money for playing foot ball is almost sure to be a college professional if we may be allowed to coin a term.
The receipts are very large in football and stringent rules calculated to destroy all temptation towards professionalism and barring all suspicious players are doubtless necessary.
But with baseball it is different. Baseball as a college sport is rather unpopular than otherwise. This is shown by the fact that though the expense is much less than in football, very few college ball teams make expenses. There is then no possibility in this school especially of during a ball team. And if a man is receiving no pay for his playing, if he is doing good work in his classes, why, then, should he be barred from playing because of past professionalism?
The greater part of the baseball season is during the summer vacation, not during the college year. Many fellows taking advantage of this fact are enabled to pay part of their college expenses by playing on summer nines. Does this hinder them from being representative college men? There is nothing dishonest or disgraceful about it, that we see. To bar such men from playing is unjust to them and to the college. It casts odium upon a perfectly honorable way to earn money. It robs the University of its best代表ive team.
We know that many people will consider these views heretical. They are opposed to the teachings of the high priest and chief apostle of athletic crankism and hyperbolic flapdoood, Casper Whitney. In his eyes the man who has played on a summer nine has committed the unportable sin and transgressed the first and second great commandments of the orthodox athletic gospel. But we confess we have never been able to reach this high plane. We are as much in favor of pure athletics as anyone but purity we conceive as a thing to be judged of by a man's present, not his past.
THE COLLEGE BOY IN THE NATION'S CRIMIS
As before stated, the WEEKLY is opposed to the discussion of national problems in the college press. In accordance with this policy, we have purposely avoided making any comments upon the relations between the United States and Spain, as being outside of our sphere and way beyond the range of our competency.
But now that war has been declared it may not be out of place to call attention to the widespread exhibition of patriotic feeling by college students all over our land through this entire critical period.
If the war is to be a short one it is certainly to be hoped that the student regiments and companies all over the land will not be called upon to go to the front. It would certainly be unfortunate if men only partly prepared for life should be called upon to lay down their college work and interrupt their training for a campaign of a few months: But if the war is to be a long instead of a short one, as now anticipated, and if a great rather than a small army of citizen soldiery is to be needed, the spirit manifested here yesterday and which has its counterpart in every other American college proves that the college boys of America may be relied upon. If their country really needs them, it may be safely laid down that the students do their part. When the final reckoning comes they will not be weighed and found wanting.
Nor is the patriotism of our students that of the mouth alone. It has not stopped with the cheering of the boys in blue. There is already talk of organizing several companies of volunteers from the student ranks.
The greatest demonstration of this enthusiasm at our University took place yesterday morning when the regulars from the far-west passed through Lawrence.
In our gratitude to Mr. Fowler, we must not overlook those public spirited citizens whose generosity would have made possible the rebuilding of the shops in any event, and whose subscriptions must now be relied upon to equip the Fowler shops.
There are some people in the state of Kansas who are never weary of telling the evil that a "plutocrat"—meaning a man of money—does to the commonwealth, but this week one of the plutocrats is having his nining. Mr. George A Fowler, a leading packer of Kansas City, has given $18,000 for new electrical shops. This act of generosity will enable Prof. Blake to build up an electrical department which will have no equal in the west, and which will be a lasting testimonial to the generosity of an unselfish man of money.
THE UNSELFISH GENEROSITY OF A 'PLUTOGRAT'
The University and the state owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Powler which can only be repaid by a proper appreciation of this gift. The University will show its appreciation by more thoroughly equipping students in electrical engineering. The state might show it by ceasing to abuse its citizens of wealth
The new electrical shops will increase the number of University buildings to six. Of this number two have been given by public spiritmed men. When the regents had no funds with which to replace the building which recently burned, Lawrence business men generously offered to advance the necessary money. And this is but a small part of what the moneyed man has done for a state which has abused him and which has been inclined at times to be parsimonious with its public institutions.
They are a fine determined, soldierly looking set of men, those regulars] who passed through yesterdav and it was an inspiring sight that of their patriotism, dash and spirit, and one which we venture to say was of more value to the student who witnessed it than all the lessons learned and learning gained in the class room throughout the whole of last week.
SNOW LITERARY.
The Chancollor's reception to the seniors of all departments will be held on Friday, May 20.
The war excitement has not detroysed interest in the Snow Literary Society. Last night it held a rousing meeting*in the German room.
First number, a quartette by Messrs. Hirschler, Baumgartner, Haury and Ruth, was much appreciated. O. T. Reese then read an essay entitled "The Reformation." He summed up that era as a 'grand struggle against vices in the Roman church.' The essay showed thought, and was read in a pleasing manner.
Mr. Messerly gave a talk on "The Present attitude of the United States,
The debaters too had a turn at the war subject in discussing the question, "Resolved. That in case of war with Spain the other European nations ought to interfere and compel arbitration.
The affirmative was supported by Messrs Beach and Logan. They argued from the following propositions that war should give place to arbitration: 1. expediency, 2. humanity, 3. justice
Messrs Kyser and Rundel spoke for the negative. They claimed that arbitration was practically impossible; that forbearance had ceased to be a virtue; that a decrease or lack of war spirit always has been a mark of weakness among all peoples.
The miscellaneous debate on this question was participated in by a large number. The excision of the judges gave the negative the victory.

Meeting of Football Men.
There will be a meeting of all those who are interested in football and who are contemplating trying for a place in the '98 team, on Thursday, April 28, room 11, 12 noon. Dr. Wylie G. Woodruff, coach of the team, will preside at the meeting. It is to be hoped that all who can, will be there, the meeting will not last long, and everyone who has any patriotism and interest at all, can easily spare the time to attend There will be a good many places to fill on next season's team, and the best men will get the positions. We have a fine schedule for next year, including a game with Minnesota, trip to Denver and a holiday tour. I would like to see all the men on hand.

HEREA$TER IT WILL BE BLAKE
HALL.
The Regents decided on last Tuesday to call the Physics building, Blake hall, in respect to the services and efficiency of Prof. Blake. This decision was made before Prof. Blake secured Mr. Fowler's $18,000 gift and has no connection with that.
Regents So Decide as to Physics Build-
ing-Charles Vicky-rill To Fill Vacancy
Compared by Mrs. Clarks Resignation-
Other Members Passed Upon by the
Regents.
At the same meeting the resignation of Mrs. A.H.Clark as instructor in Elocution and Physical culture was accepted. Mr. Chas, Vickery, for fifteen years professor of elocution and oratory in the Kansas normal school of Fort Scott, was elected to the chair of oratory. Mr. Vickery will give instruction to the law students as well as to freshmen and sophomores. Mr. Vickery is spoken a of very high and his ideas in regard to expression are entirely acceptble to the board and the faculty.
Prof. Preyer's resignation from the faculty of the school of music was rejected, and on Thursday Prof. Preyer, who had received a very flattering offer elsewhere announced his intention of remaining here.
The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Any members of the faculty or employees of the University of Kansas who offers his services in a war with Spain will be given leave of absence and their positions guaranteed to be held open till their return."
ANOTHER EXPEDITION FOR FOSSILS.
Dr. Williston was authorized to dispose of certain duplicates in the museum for $300. The proceeds will be used in an expedition by Dr. Williston next summer for new fossils and material
It was also voted to build a cement side walk during the summer from Fraser hall o Blake hall.
A Display of Bad Spirit
The repairs on the boilers were put under the charge of Prof. Marvin and Superintendent White, the work to be done by the day.
The ill feeling that has been growing between the barbs and fraternities on account of the base ball team reached a climax last Saturday. Never before on McCook field have the students of the University proved disloyal to the home team and "rooted" for a foreign one.
True, the playing of the Varsity was bad, but under such a torrent of "rooting" as the opposing side received no team could stand. Personal flings were very common.
The matter has been referred to J. W. Green and will be thoroughly considered. If it is a case of faction, the team will be newly selected and only the best players of the University will obtain positions.
Students desiring an up-town boarding place will do well to try the Warren street Dining Hall before locating elsewhere Everything new and up to date. Mrs. M. L, Bunn, proprietor.

Dancing began at 10 o'clock, when the grand march was led by Mr. Claude Stanley and Miss Minnie Marks. Zeiler's Orchestra of Kansas City furnished the music:
Pythian hall on this occasion was very artistically decorated. Festeos of evergreens were strung along the south wall beneath the balcony and the north wall contained the two letters Sigma and Chi in evergreens, while between them was suspended a Sigma Chi cross. The electric globes which lit the room were veiled in delicate colors giving a softer light to the room, and give added delicacy to the girls' party gowns.
One of the most enjoyable and most successful dancing parties of the seasort was the annual party given by the "Barbs" in Pythian hall Thursday evening. The hall was most beautifully decorated. There were immense banks of flowers on all sides. The chandeliers and windows were adorned with evergreens; immense ropes of evergreens were stretched in
Refrerrments, consisting of coffee, wafers and ice cream were served in the balcony, which was decorated profusely with evergreens.

Dancing began at 9 o'clock to the music of an orchestra of seven pieces. The beautiful costumes, the flowers worn or carried by the ladies, the smiles of all present, all blended with the surroundings to make the scene one beautiful to look upon. Refreshments consisting of punch and ices were served throughout the evening. Numerous electric fans placed about the room kept the air at a delightful temperature. Among the prominent features of the decorations were the blending of the American and Cuban flags and the inscription in large letters of evergreen on the north wall "Barb Annual, April, 1898."

Haskell 15. K. U 8.
Thirty-three errors were made altogether, nineteen by Haskell and fourteen by the 'Varsity.
The Indians took their revenge on the Varsity team last Saturday in the rankest game of ball ever played on McCook field.
For five innings the copper colored gentlemen from Uncle Sam's school were whitewashed.
The Eighth Annual Session of the
For five innings the 'Varsity put up a superb game in the field. Swett was pitching a phenomenal game and the team was giving him gilt-edge support. Only one hit had been made off him, and that very much of a scratch.
Kansas
In the sixth the team began to go to pieces. A base on balls, two hits, a sacrifice and five errors netted the red men four runs. The team pulled together a bit in the seventh and the Indians were retired in one, two, three order on fly balls.
There were few redeeming features. Poorman played the best short stop of any candidate for that position yet, and batted in good form, but his one error, a wild throw at home was very costly.
The following is the score in cetail.
In the eight Haskell tied the score, in the ninth the whole team went to pieces. The boys fattened their error columns. Swett seemed to have lost nearly all his speed or else became disheartened and didn't try to pitch, so that when the last out was made seven Indians had crossed the plate on five hits, two free passes to first, and four errors.
As K. U. went to pieces, Haskell braced up and not a Jawhawk crossed the plate after the fifth inning.

FIELD MEET NEXT FRIDAY.
On next Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock the annual Field Meet will be held at the Driving Park. More depends upon the meet this year than has depended on any other meet in years, for in May will be held at the same place the first meet of the Kansas Inter-Collegiate Track association. Great interest ought to center in our own meet then as showing what our material is. While the team will not be picked till just before the Inter-Collegiate Meet, yet it is altogether probable that the same men who win the first three places in each event will represent the "U" in the big meet.
Particularly has interest been aroused in the shot put and hammer throw in which Mosse and Hamill have both en- ered.
Candidates for Inter Collegiate Track Meet to Compete.
Another event which will be hotly contested is the standing high jump in which Alexander who won out at the indoor meet will have to face Carroll, Petticord and Leach. Indeed there will be no walk overs in the whole meet. From twenty to thirty candidate have been working regularly and all may be expected to give a good account of themselves.

A Debating Team.
Some of the University leaders are deeply interested in having our debaters here compete with those of eastern schools. A team of three debaters could be selected from the Unversity that would be all but invincible. Outside of a great probability of winning in the event of any such debate, the advertisement of the school would be invaluable. The fact that we have one debater who has won first place two times in inter-state debates, and one who won a inter-state oratorical contest, makes our outlook flattering.
The promoters of the school met the question as to finances by the assertion that if proper interest could be aroused in the student body the expenses could be raised by subscription.

THE PLAY'S THE THING.
Wednesday noon the Senior Arts class held a very lively class meeting and spent an interesting half hour in discussing the Senior play which is ready to be staged. Trouble began when Carey Wilson moved that the president appoint a committee of seven to investigate the play and see whether it was worthy of presentation to a suffering public.
That Some of the Seniors Want Expur-
rated, but the Class Saves "Nit."
This brought Herbert Wing to his feet for a philosophical discussion on the propriety of trying to do away with the play at this time of the year He protested against the committee being appointed, as it would reflect one man's wishes only. The president, however, informed Mr. Wing that the committee might be elected, and requested Mr. Wilson so to modif his motion.
Will Walker then took the floor and said that the play was all right and directed some remarks at Hilliard Johnson. Mr. Johnson replied by saying that he had heard the play read and thought there were loathsome passages, in it and thought they should be cut out. Mr. Walker made a warm response.
George Rising had something to say, as did Mr. Boone, in commendation of the play. At this point a motion was made to table the motion for the appointment of a committee, which carried. The class adjoined immediately, the play committee breathed easier and the old fashioned peace with white wings and long tail feathers appeared once more.
GRADUATING RECITAL.
One of the Best Rectais Ever Given in Lawrence.
Last Tuesday evening, University hall was filled to over flowing. No evening this school year has there been such a large audience there. The occasion was the graduating recital of Mabel Amy Fisher. The assistants were Mr. J. A. Farrell, baritone, and Mr. C. A. Preyer, accompanist.
The lovers of music had been looking forward to this recital with great interest for it is generally believed that Miss Fisher is one of the best musicians the University of Kansas can ever hope to graduate.
The lady ushers gracefully did their part. The audience presented the best display of spring hats Lawrence has seen this season. The rostrum was tastefully arranged and all was in complete readiness when Miss Fisher made her appearance.
From the first dainty gavotte to the last grand march the audience vasciated between silent enrapture and wild enthusiasm. At different times flowers were carried forward and after the skillful execution of Hensel's Etude in F shard, escape from responding to the encore was impossible.
Mr. Farrell who has lately returned from Europe where he has been studying with the masters received a hearty greeting. His selections, as usual, were highly appreciated.
The program of the recital was as follows:

Bach—Gavotte in E Major for Violin, (arranged for piano by Raff.)

A few have enlisted with the militia and will go to war in case state troops are called.

ADDRESSES * STUDENTS ON THEIR
DUTY IN THE WAR
ONLY SEMIORS SHOULD ENLIST.
Monster Mess Meeting Tuesday - A Company Being Organized.
On Tuesday morning Chancellor Snow addressed the University students on the war. It was announced in the papers of the previous evening and when the Chancellor arose to conduct the chapel services on Tuesday morning every one of the nine hundred seats of the chapel parquet was filled and many people were standing. After the reading of the lesson Chancellor Snow spoke in part as follows.
"We are today confronted with war yesterday a formal declaration of war passed the houses of congress. We all know the cause of this war. It is sometimes said and that by those conversant with such matters that there is but little precedent for this conflict. Granting this, the war is by no means to be condemned by this fact. Let us look for a moment at the history of wars. The early wars were wars for conquest. They were struggles for the existence, first of the family, then of the tribe, later of the nation."
After showing how in the history of the world's wars, individual strife had gradually merged into the strife of nations, and now the national idea was now secondary, the chancellor then turned his attention to the wars of our own nation.
"Our first war was with Great Britain. It was a struggle for independence, for freedom, and for the life of the natives. Our next great war was waged for the integrity of the union. But under it all there was another motive, and that a deeper one than the motive of the revolution. This was a struggle for freedom from slavery, and as such it contained the nobler element of a struggle for others, not present in the Revolution, and the victory was not the victory of a section over section but of freedom over slavery.
A JUST WAR.
"Now another war arises, declared, this time not for the preservation of national or individual life, nor in behalf of the freedom of slaves, but to enable our struggling neighbors to throw off the yoke of Spain Such a war is a national war carried on, on the highest principles, waged not for the annexation of Cuda, but to assist Cuba to elect her own officers and to establish and maintain her own government. It is true our own gallant battle ship went down through the reachery of that nation of traitors, the cruel, faithless Spaniards, (ch eers),but still back and behind it all is the freedom of Cuba.
"The call has been made for volunteers to carry the stars and stripes into Spanish territory to secure for Cuba ascendancy of republican conceptions
To the students of the university of Kansas: The University council affirms its belief in the patriotism of all members of the university body—officers.faculty, and students. It recognizes the call of the president of the United States for volunteers as a demand on the patriotism of every citizen of this republic, which it behoves each one of us within the age limits of the call to consider seriously and thoughtfully. In view of the limited call for men, each should ask himself the following questions, viz:
Can I serve my country best as a soldier or a citizen?
"In this crisis and under this call, what is our duty?"
FACULTY ADDRESS TO STUDENTS.
The Chancellor then read the following
address to the University council.
Ought I to sacrifice my personal interests for the nation's good?
Can I enlist as a volunteer with a moral conviction of the rightfulness of the act, and a clear judgment free from all taint of temporary excitement or selfish motive?
The Chancellor then read the following declaration by the University council:
Can or should I leave home and imperil its happiness?
Ought I to endanger the completion of my University course?
years who thoughtfully decides these questions affirmatively and responds to the call of his country by enlisting, the University can but say "Go. And God bless you."
Can I maintain a steady enthusiasm,born of this moral purpose, in spite of trial, suffering and chance of death?
Ought I, in view of all the circumstances, to offer my service and my life to my country?
To any student of the legal age of 21
Chancellor Snow then continued: "I don't know that I need to say a word in addition.
This address speaks for itself. It affirms its belief in patriotism. And what is patriotism?
It is a man's willingness to serve his country in that capacity in which he can be of the most service. Some can be of most value by going to the front; others undoubtedly by remaining at home.
It is true that for some the highest patriotism calls for them to stay at home
For the younger men, the University feels a special responsibility towards their parents and strongly advises against their enlistment without the sanction of parents or guardians.
This is serious business and not an outing or a holiday excursion. The nation wants men, but only those who take its call seriously, who have weighed well the cost, so far as they are able, and who are ready to make the sacrifice, to fight or die for humanity's sake and the upholding of the national honor.
ONLY SENIORS OUGHT TO GO.
The call is so small and the volunteer so many that I believe only those in the Senior year should offer their services.
You are here preparing for your life's work. Those below the Senior year can best serve their country by remaining and completing their preparation for life and for citizenship. The seniors have practically completed their work. They can go without its interruption. The others can best serve their country by waiting for the second call and when the second call comes, we will have another senior class."
The chancellor then recounted in brief but touching words the horrors of the last war and continued "Nore should go without serious consideration. It is a serious matter." He concluded with the prediction that the "University would manifest its patriotism by furnishing a body of picked men whose services in the war would be invaluable.
Upon the completion of his remarks Chancellor Snow called upon Hon. J, Willis Gleed, of Topeka, who had just come from home on the "plug" to begin a course of lectures in the law school.
VOL. VI. NO. 11.
MR.GLEED'S REMARKS
MR GLEED'S REMARKS
Mr. Gleed said in part:
"It itwould be impossible for me to add anything to the remarks of the Chancellor, and to the address of the faculty. It does occur to me, however, to tell you something I have learned within the past few days from Colonel Fred Funston about the people and government of Cuba.
He tells me that the people of Cuba are capable of self-government. He tells me that the president of the Cuban republic is a graduate of Yale college, a business man of large experience, a man of affairs. He tells me that the vice-president was formerly professor in law in the University of Havana, and that the cabinet are all men of education, of intellectual power, andof business ability. He tells me that the people are fully intelligent and conscious of the struggle in which they are engaged, of its objects and its effects.
"Further more only one half of one percent of the taxes raised by the Spaniards in Cuba are spent on that island—only one half of one per cent. Why we thought we had just cause for war when England put a tax on tea in the colonial days. The tax was small but a principal was involved. Here is a community taxed to death and yet I have learned that the immediate cause of the present outburts was the refusal of Spain to allow those already over burdened Cubans to tax themselves above the assessed rate to supply the island with roads.
"I learned last night in Topeka that from 27,000 to 30,000 in this state had already offered their service. That means that one man in ten will be taken.
Under these circumstances it would seem that no man whose family was in any way dependant on him ought to think of enlisting. And so too it seems that no college student below the Senior year ought to go.
"I have talked with many old soldiers. Nearly all anticipate a long conflict. If this be so, then other calls must be made. Let the underclassmen hold themselves in reserve till this later time. And indeed it

NEBRASKA'S BALL TOSSERS
WILL PLAY THE VARSITY BALL
TEAM THE FIRST GREAT GAME
OF THE SEASON.
ON M'C00K FIELD TUESDAY.
Game Will be Called at 3 O'clock-Personnel of the Two Teams.
The game of games in the whole baseball schedule will be played on McCook field next Tuesday. The University of Nebraska ball team which is making a tour of Kansas and Missouri will on that day cross bats with our own representatives of the national game.
It can be confidently predicted that from the time the umpire first calls "Play ball" till the last out is made, no one present will be allowed to forget that a ball game is in progress. The game will be for blood. Every game whether football or base ball so far played between these two Universities has been for blood. We have so far had rather the best of it in football, winning four games to Nebraska's two. But in base ball Nebraska has so far made a clean sweep of it. Last year two games were played between the two Universities at Lincoln and Nebraska won both.
The ball team came home thirsting for revenge and they are going to do their best to get it next Tuesday.
Then besides Kansas University students have not yet forgotten the shameful treatment our football team received at Lincoln last fall. This remembrance will lend fire and intensity to the contest both for players and spectators. There is to be any bitter feeling. There is no intention to give the Nebraskans a dose of their own infection. They will be treated as gentlemen and as guests but the thought of last fall still rankles and cannot but lend interest and intensity to the game.
From all reports the Nebraska team is a strong aggregation. Their only de'cat so far was from the strong Omaha - Western League
Our own team has now settled down to work. The last game showed great improvement in every department of the game. At Ottawa the whole team played gilited ball, the team work was greatly improved, the feeling first class. Hitherto the team has been weak in batting but this year we seem to have a team of sluggers and a team that can make twenty hits off Augusta may be expected to give a good account of themselves in front of any pitcher.
team, but in that game they showed their batting strengthened by batting the ball hard and often.
Ellis who pitched great ball at Ottawa Monday will be in the box against the Nebraska. The rest of the team is also picked with the exception of third and right field. There are three candidates for these two positions and the men showing up best in practice and in today's game with Olathe will get the places. The team will play as follows:
Kansas Position Nebraska Ellis... Pitcher...(Capt.) Gordon or Millord Curry (Capt)... Catcher... Moore Swett... First Base... Rhodes Housh... Second Base... Reeder Edmondson. Third Base... Caugill
Poorman...Short Stop...Wells
Sample...Right Field...Rhea
or Edmondson
Carroll...Center Field...Ewart
Griggs...Left Field...Johnson
The game will be called at 3 o'clock.
Admission twenty-five and thirty-five cents.
The Rev. Dr Henry Hopkins, of Kansas City, Missouri, will deliver the annual sermon before the Young Women's Christian association, next Sunday evening. May 1 at 8 o'clock in the University chapel.

Dr. Hopkins is one of the most prominent Congregational clergymen in the west and one of the most scholarly in the denomination. He is the son of Mark Hopkins, formerly president of Williams college, and in many respects America's greatest college president and educator.

Sigma Chis 22; Phi Pseis 11.
The Stigma Chis won the second of the inter-fraternity ball games, defeating the Phil Psis on Wednesday by a score of 22 to 11. The game was characterized by the sharpest of fielding on the part of both teams. The feature of the game was the all-round work of Harris for the Phil Psis. At the bat, in the field and on the bases he was easily the star of the game.
His subsassist, a throw home from the center garden intercepted and resent on its wavy by McPherson in time to catch Stanley at the home plate, was the cleanest and most exciting of the many hair-splitting plays of the day.
In the first inning the spectators were somewhat bewildered by the movements of the Phi Psi outfielders. The three men who had charge of the left, center and right Pingree patches were noticed walking around.
The audience was about evenly divided as to whether these manoeuvres were the result of scientific fielding resulting from an experienced knowledge of the batting ability of each individual batter, or merely an attempt to keep up the circulation of the blood. The opening of the second inning proved both surmises wrong, for it found all three fielders comfortably reclining upon the ground. The peripatetic movements of the first inning had been for the purpose of exploration and the softest spots in each field having been found, its guardian proceeded to make use of it as a resting place between long and arduous chases of base hits.

Inter-Sorority Meeting.
Another inter-sorior meeting was held Thursday noon; It was presided over by Miss Bessie Stone of the Thetas. The report of the pennant committee was heard, and after some discussion it was decided to award a red satin flag with the words "Inter-Fraternity Base Ball Championship" embroidered on it in blue and gold, the whole to be finished in gold fringe. It was decided to give a Pan-Hellenic party early-next month, and a committee will be appointed to make the necessary arrangements.
The freshman electrical engineers are practicing hard for their base ball team which they claim can beat any similar team in the University. Almost, every evening they get out and practice for an hour or two.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, APRIL 30, 1898
We knew that our two "Japs" were some few but it is news to us that they are so many as to count for a hundred.
Everyone of our one thousand students even our Japs or negroes, so despised by Mr. McIntyre of "Mizzoura" would have better manners than to misrepresent the character of their hosts.
The war department need not worry about those one hundred and twenty-five new leuanchanes. We have reason to believe that they could be filled from students right here in the University.
We are sure of one victory over Nebraska on Tuesday anyway, that of setting them the needed example of proper hospitality. If we win the ball game, too, we may count it a double victory, one in manners and one in athletics.
Mr. McIntyre of Missouri must have included the men who rooted for Haskell at the recent base ball game in his estimate of one hundred half bread Indians at this institution. As far as we know there are at present no native born red men in the school, though it would seem that there are a few proselytes.
The WEEKLY wishes to call attention to the prominence of the University of Kansas Alumni in the present war preparations. Of the officers now definitely selected four, Colonel Funston, Lieutenant Col. Ed Little, Major Metcalf and Captain Fred Buchan are former University students. Colonel Funston has already shown himself a fighter and the others will.
We were rather surprised to find the following in the M.S.U. Independent, over the signature of J. S. Melatyre:
"By inquiry I learned that Kansas uni- university has about one thousand students, distributed as follow: Two hundred girls, six hundred boys one hundred 'Japs' and half-breed Indians, and about one hundred negroes. This conglomeration may suit Kansas very well, but I hope the day will never come when the Missouri girl must sing with the descendant of Ham from the same hymn book in our own beloved chapel."
The Missouri debaters were treated while here with marked courtesy. Every endeavor was made that their stay might be pleasant. The night of the debate they were heartily applauded. Throughout their stay in Lawrence they were treated as the guests of the University.
Why one of their number should then be guilty of such a wilful misrepresentation of ourudent body we cannot imagine.
DEFEAT NEBRASKA.
There are many reasons why we should defeat Nebraska next Tuesday. In the first place we want to defeat every team we meet, whether in debating, in football, in base ball, or in track athletics.
It is however especially desirable that we should win next Tuesday. Last fall's foot ball squabble left a bad taste in the mouth for all of us. Nothing can so help to remove that as a victory over Nebraska this spring. We want to show the Nebranss by our treatment that we are all gentlemen but we want to show them that we have athletes who are gentlemen, and gentlemen who are athletes.
Then there is another reason why it is essential that we defeat the Nebraskans. Our position in the western collegiate base ball world depends largely upon the result of our two games with Nebraska. Nebraska on account of its geographical position and because of the more liberal financial support given her base ball team is able to play games with many of the colleges of the northwest. Our geographical position on the one hand and our poverty on the other makes such games an impossibility for us. As a result the game with Nebraska gives an opportunity to compare our own team with that of the Northwestern University.
Altogether the game Tuesday is the most important of the schedule. More depends upon it than any other. We must win it.
WISE COUNS:L.
The counsel contained in the addresses of Chancellor Snow and Mr. Gleed speaking before the throng of students present in the chapel Tuesday morning should be carefully weighed by every man in the University. No wiser advice could have been given. Both the speeches of these gentlemen and the admirable address penned by Prof. Marvin and issued by the University council should be carefully considered by every student thinking of enlisting.
Every phase of the question should be thoughtfully pondered. It has been estimated that there are enough men who need to go the front just for the sake of employment to make up the whole number of the call. Even if this be doubted, it can not be denied that there are many more volunteers than can be taken. In the light of these facts it is doubtful whether it is the duty of any student to volunteer.
This conclusion is not altogether the result of selfishness. As pointed out in a previous issue and as manifested by the enthusiastic demonstrations in all our colleges, the nation's college boys are not lacking in willingness to serve their country. Just as present however their country does not really need them at the front, perhaps, not so much so there as in college. So with those who stay at home the reason will be rather of an indisposition to make a useless sacrifice of their college preparation for life, than the manifestation of any lack of patriotism or disposition to show the white leather.
Especially pertinent is the suggestion that only Seniors should go. They are practically through their college work. To others, however, enlistment would mean probably its fatal interruption. Few of the college boys enlisting in the last war returned to their studies at 1 completion. There is every reason to believe that the same would be the fate of o'ir undergraduate volunteer's collegiate training now.

It is reported that the Music school will have a Musical Kindergarten next year in which the pupils will be children of 6 or 7 years of age. The idea is to train the ears of the children while young and develop their talent along the line of music. The instructors will be graduates of the Music school.
Aa engineering party is the latest event of the social world. The engineers thinking that society as well as study and shop work should go to complete their education are thinking of renting Python hall and giving an evening, some time in the near future, to some experiments in motions of ratation and translation but known to the gayety as waltzing. The music will consist of a row of tuning forks operated by electric magnets which will be excited by one man by the use of telegraph keys. The refreshments will consist of currents picked direct from the electric plant and served by the shock.
A base ball game is talked of between the Senior Electricals and the Senior Civils. Each class has exactly ten men, a base ball nine and a water carrier. It is doubtful, however, if they can be brought together as each class considers itself so much above the other that they do not like to associate.
A member of the WEEKLY board held an indignation meeting the other day because he skipped all his classes to call at the postoffice for a package, and which, when he obtained it, proved to be a poker chip

The small crowd that ever witnessed an annual Field meet of the Kansas University Athletic Association saw the meet at the Driving Park yesterday. Not over fifty people were present, and considering the way the meet was advertised or rather not advertised by Manager McKay, it is a wonder that even those fifty were there.
Characterized Yest-red's Fleed Meet-
The Winners
RANK MANAGEMENT.
Not a line of advertising was given to the Lawrence dailies. A few short notices appeared in the Journal, but these notices were entirely unauthorized or unasked for by the management. Absolutely no attempt was made to secure the co operation of either of the papers. The idea of getting the press to boom the meet and keep it before the public never entered the twenty-two caliber brain of the manager.
Posters and dodgers were struck off and scattered about the streets, but with his usual far-sightenedness, Mr. McKay neglected to have the dodgers say at what time the Meet would begin.
Those who did go out to the meet were rewarded by seeing first-class sport. Hampered as they had been by the tardy inefficient movements of their manager, the boys had nevertheless trained faithfully and were all in excellent trim for the day's events.
As another evidence of energetic and up-to-date management, no programs were provided. Each spectator was allowed the blessed privilege of making his own program as the events and the winners announced. But unless a man were a short band writer he could not very well take down the entries as read.
The spectators were allowed to sit in the grand stand. The management did grant that privilege. The grand stand was there, furnished by Colonel Learned, and even the almighty, self-important swelled up manager of track athletic could present its being occupied. So here the fifty loyal spectators sat and waited for the sport to begin;*
After a delay of about a half hour the first event was called and the sprinters took their places for the 100 yards dash.
The following were the winners:

KAN3AS 9: OTTAWA 1.
'Varatty Takes the First of the Inter-Collegiate Series.
The initial game of the league series played by the 'Varsity at Ottawa Monday was genuine baseball from start to finish, and in many respects a surprise to local "fans." To put in the language of Manager Jackson of the football team: "It would have done Jimmie Green's heart good to have been there and seen the pretty and almost errorless ball which our boys put up."
Although but seven safe hits were made off Ellis' delivery, the Ottawa batsmen bombarded the K. U. infield with hot ground balls from the first to the last inning, and every chance with scarcely exception was "gobbled up" and the Ottawa men retired.
The game was in striking contrast to the last of the Indian series played a week ago. The new men of whom little was expected, showed up in fine form. Poorman at short took everything that came his way and McKay's work at third was brilliant. That fast ball was played is shown by the record of three double-plays. Time and again Ottawa had men on bases with no outs, but only in the third inning did she succeed in crossing the rubber.
Housh, Swett and Curry led the 'Varsity' team in stick work, Housh having a double and two singles to his credit. Swett a three base drive, a double and a single. and Carry two singles.
Edmundson was tried in right field, but as no balls came his way he did not have an opportunity to show himself. Housh at second played an errorless game, in one instance, pulling down a ball which had the best of intentions for a base hit. Curry's catching was perfect. If he still possesses a "strong arm" the opportunity to play ayder-over second base with the center-fielder was denied him, as the Ota base running was very sluggish.

Fraternity entertained a large number of friends last Friday night with a dancing party. Nothing so elaborate in decorator was ever attempted before,and the Kappa easily carry off the honors for the most beautiful party of the year. White bunt ing covered the ceiling and the north and east walls. In the center of the ceiling was a large circle of yellow and orange thickly studded with electric light bulbs that gave forth a perfect blaze of light, and swung out from this centerpiece were loops of yellow bunting closely hung with electric light bulbs reaching the for corners of the room and to the centers of the side walls. All this iight gave the room a dazzling brightness and beauty. On the north wall the bunting was art ranged in waves, giving the delicate effect of crepe. On the east wall the bunting was hung plain and caught back on each side of the windows with bunches of dainty paper flowers. The west end of the hall gave the effect of a small stage. The musicians were placed there and the painted canvases from some theatre was a very pretty setting for them. Steinberg's orchestra from Topeka furnished the music. The south wall, under the balcony, was hung with mirrors which probably never before reflected such a scene of beauty and happiness. The railing of the balcony was covered with a great bed of pink roses into which were worked in red roses the letters "Kappa Kappa Gamma." A beautiful electrical effect was the Kappa Key hung over a north window. It was of pink roses and was studded with green electric lights which represented the jewels of the pin. The curtains at the doors, the chairs, pillows and divans were all delicate in coloring, which added to the light, airy effect of the whole. Electric fans were stationed at intervals in the room and ices and ice water were served from dainty flower covered tables on either side of the entrance. On entering the room the guests were received by a committee composed of Misses Brown, Lewis, Gaddis, Marks, Morris and McCrory. The grand march was led by Miss Eva Brown and Mr. Dean Low of Topeka and during the grand march the dance cards were given out. These were very pretty, being ornamented with the Kappa flower, the fleur de lis. The programs were painted by Mrs. John Kilworth, Miss Lewit and Miss Riddle. Dancing continued until about o'clock.

Not as a Tail to Pennsylvania's Kite.
However, Butte Kansas Troops.
No Kansas University battalion will be organized to make up a part of the Pennsylvania "college gentlemen's" regiment as outlined in the issue of last week by Dr. Woolrud. The council so decided at a hurried meeting Monday. Bright and early morning morning Coach Woolrud's lieutenants were at work on the hill, circulating among the boys and painting in glowing words the advantage that the "college gentleman" of this University would derive by uniting with the troops of the University of Pennsylvania of which institution as every reader of the Kansas City Star knows, Dr. Wryle G. Woodruff is "formerly of" So great was the enthusiasm of this belligerent "college gentleman" doctor that he called a mass meeting for Monday noon without even thinking of consulting the Chancellor. The council, however, hearing of these extensive preparations, called the mass meeting off and promptly squelched the plan to make K. U. the tail to the University of Pennsylvania's kite.
Nor to tell the truth, had the plan met with much favor with the students. There were many men hot to volunteer, especially as lieutenants, but they could not see why Kansas should enroll as Pennsylvanians any more than as Missourians or New Yorkers. Nor could they see the beauties of the 'college gentleman' plan nor the direct bearing of geneological questions upon the war with Spain.
This does not mean that Kansas University students are not patriotic. It does not mean either that the war fever has not yet struck the 'Varsity.' It merely means that Kansans suit our boys very well as comrades and Colonel Fred Funston as commanding officer. The same morning that the Woodruff regiment was to have been organized, George Rising, Ralph McKinnie and Dick Rodgers began canvassing for volunteers for a company of 'Varsity students for one of the Kansas regiments, preferably Funston's.
Monday afternoon these three boys, encouraged by the number who wanted to go, went to Topeka to see Funston and the governor. They came back Tuesday afternoon tall of encouragement and on Wednesday morning the active work of getting the boys together began. By noon forty names had been placed upon the roll.
These forty met Monday noon and
elected George Rising, captain; R. G. McKinnie, first lieutenant; Dick Rodgers, second lieutenant; Sam Peters, first sergeant; Will Myers, second sergeant; Ed Irwin, third sergeant; Arthur McComb, fourth sergeant. Preparations for immediate and frequent drills were made.
That night Mr. Rising again went to Topeka, this time with Chancellor Snow and Regent Clark, who were both heartily in favor of the plan.
Upon the return of the Chancellor the next morning it was announced from his office that a company of volunteers had been authorized to be made up from the students of the Normal and Agricultural colleges and 'Varsity, the number from each college to be proportional to the number of male students in each.
The turn affairs have taken have very much chagrined our own embryo volunteers. There is no doubt that a full company could be raised here in the 'Varsity' and the boys feel that such being the case, this institution is entitled to a full company. They cannot see any more reason for making our volunteers one detail of a company to be composed otherwise of students from the state's other colleges, than for making it a detail of any other company. Unless the boys can go together then, some are in favor of not going at all. Others are anxious to go anyway. The company will not be wholly recruited for the next eight or ten days and those wishing to join forces with the pedagogues and farmers should hand their names in within that period
As told elsewhere in this issue Juniors and Seniors of 21 years of age enlisting will be given credit for a full year's work
Two More Volumes Kansas Geologica Survey.
The third and fourth volumes of the University[Geological Survey of Kansas are very near completion. Dr. Williston's volume is already in press. It treats of the vertebrate paleontology of the state. It will be the most complete work upon the extinct reptilian monsters yet published.
Sydney Prentice has been at work upon the plates to accompany the volume; the originals of which are to be found only in the museum of the University of Kansas.
The other volume, which will be known as the third, is by Prof. Haworth. It will concern the coal deposits of Kansas and cover all the coal of Kansas. Every possible phase of the subject will be treated. The coal found was treated to an extraordinary number of physical and chemical tests and the whole work will be as elaborate and extensive as it can be made.

BASE BALL NOTES.
He was made easy, however, when the hotel man let down the bed, and he tumbled in' to dream peacefully of the victory over Ottawa. In the morning when he arose he was unable to turn up the bed. How should he get at the glass to comb his hair? Here was a serious question. It would not look right for him to go over to breakfast with a shaggy head. Presently a happy idea struck him. Lying down on his back he squirmed under the bed, looked square up into the mirror, and carefully arranged his hirsute growth. All would have gone well had he not forgotten to brush the back of his head and his coat, but he was very hungry, and on hastening over to breakfast the uniformly soiled condition of his posterior parts revealed the whole situation. Carrol and Griggs vouch for the truth of this incident though Edmundson insists the boys have greatly overdrawn it.
A score board placed in front of the grand stand would be a great convenience to the base ball patrons and could be set up at very little expense.
The game today is with the deaf mutes at Olathe. In their game with the varsity last year it will be remembered they qui in the fifth inning to catch a train and be ing ahead, claimed the victory. The mutes defeated Baker in a game played about three weeks ago.
A new player who gets on the ball team usually has a hard time of it, especially if he is a freshman. Here is a joke the boys tell on Bob Edmondson, the new right fielder.
J. W. Gleed Lectures to the Law School.
J. Willis Gleed of Topeka began his course of lectures on Real Property to the Senior Law class this week. This is the first time for several years Mr. Gleed has been able to spare the time from his extensive law practice to give this course.
When in Ottawa Monday the team put at the Centennial. As the house was full, one of the boys was obliged to go to the hotel cottage across the street. This litle to the lot of Bob who did not like being put off alone very well. He had never seen a folding bed such as the cottage was furnished with, and when the proprietor showed him to his room, he looked about the narrow apartment, and with his eyes resting on the large mirror in the face of the bed, he remarked to the landlord rather disgustedly: 'There's only a wash stand and a looking glass in here. Do you expect me to sleep on the floor?

MEETING OF REGENTS.
Enlisting to Receive Credit for the Year's Work-Flens for Fowler Shops Accepted.
SENIORS AND JUNIORS.
At the meeting of the regents on Wednesday the following resolution was passed
nesday the following resolution was passed
On recommendation of Chancellor Snow
and motion of Regent Rogers all seniors
and juniors whose services are received
and who are received into the United
States army in war against Spain will be
granted their diplomas if their work is
at present up to the standard and all juniors
r f the age of twenty-one, showing suitable
class work, upon joining the United
States army will be given credit for their
junior work without further examination
PLANS FOR FOWLER SHOPS ACCEPTED.
At the same meeting of the board of regents the offer of Mr. Fowler came officially before that body. The Regents voted unanimously to accept Mr. Fowler's offer. Plans for the shops were submitted by Root & Silmans of Kansas City, Mo., and were accepted. The same firm of architects were employed to take charge of the entire work. The specifications will be completed in detail so that advertisements for bids may be issued within two weeks. The contracts for the building will be a warded at the regular meeting of the regents June 6, 1898.
The building will be located upon the upper plateau, on the extreme southwest corner of the bill. The building will contain the high-pressure boilers, dynamos and engines deeded by the electrical engineering school, and comprising the electric power of the University. The heating plant will be retained in the old boiler house.
Prof. Marvin will use part of the building for his work in Civil Engineering. The testing machines of that department for instance will be in the new building.
The plans now prepared by Root & Silmans will be submitted to Mr. Fowler for his approval. If they are accepted, the building will be put as now planned.
It has been objected that the presence of a boiler house on the hill will be a nuisance because of the smoke, but it is confidently asserted that the character of the smoke consumers to be used will remedy this.
It was at first feared, too, that the ground on that part of the bill was not suitable for the foundation, but it has been discovered that underneath the clay surface is a bed of solid rocks, offering a good basis for the foundation of the new structure.
