SATURDAY, FEBRIARY 16, 1907.
The warm spring days will no doubt bring the usual number of view solicitors in town, to point the way to wealth during the summer vacation.
The good showing that the basket-ball team made against Baker Thursday night means that we will have the best team in the country when the new gymnasium is completed. The material for a good team is in school and all that is necessary is a place to practice.
The "spring suit" question is now before the public. Isn't it queer that the college man must put on feather weight clothes before the snow leaves and the 1st of September don winter clothing when the mercury stands at $ 90^{\circ} $ ?
The spirit of the student mass meeting Thursday should not be misconstrued. The men behind the movement feel that they are as much a part of the University as any one connected with it; that their interest in her affairs is just as sincere and worthy of consideration as any one's. It was in this spirit that the meeting was called and conducted. The resolution adopted will be presented to the University council for fair consideration, as voicing the sentiment of the student portion of the University community. The movement was not an attempt at dictation, and it altogether commedable.
X. Y. Z. Have Interesting Speeches
The X. Y. Z. debating club met in regular session last night and listened to a number of addresses on the campaign of 1860. Just before the close of the meeting a hotly contested debate was given upon the feasibility of allowing the negro to represent the University in intercollegiate debating.

WASHBURN DEBATERS NAMED
Heil, Adams and Lapham will Debate the Congregationalists.
At the preliminary contest held Wednesday evening for the selection of men to represent the University of Kansas in the debate with Washburn College, Sydney Heil, Clyde Adams and Wilbur Lapham were chosen, with Harry Randall as first alternate.
Mr. Heil is a freshman in the College. He received his training in debating in a Minnesota academy. He was chosen as alternate in the Iowa preliminary. Adams is a senior law, and was formerly a Washburn man. The result of this contest ought to reconcile him to the change. Lapham spent last year at the University of Missouri, but two years ago was prominent in debating circles in this institution.
The question to be debated with Washburn is the same as that with Iowa: "Resolved, That American cities should seek the solution of their traction problems in private ownership." Nine men competed for places on the debate, which will be held here probably during the latter part of April.
This is the last preliminary of the spring, except those of the Sophomores and Freshmen for their debate. From this time on the men will be busy preparing for their final contests.

To Have Engineering Museum.
The Civil Engineering Society met last week and reorganized for the purpose of beginning work on an engineering museum which they expect to place in the new engineering building when completed. The object is to begin a collection of everything that is of interest to engineers, mostly mining and mechanical.
At the last meeting Dean Marvin delivered an address, and Prof. H. A. Rice spoke on the "Objects of the Society." The next meeting will be held on March 7. J. L. Harrington, a graduate of the University and at present one of consulting engineers, will deliver the principal address.
