The change in weather came just in time to avert the premature budding of the crop of spring poetry.
The dates for the University debates have been fixed and other organizations should see to it that there is no conflict with those dates. Let us make the debates University events.
Men of the University are cordially invited to take a couple of hours off and attend the Olympic games in Snow Hall Saturday evening. The show is free, and everybody is sure to get his money's worth.
The Mandolin club has amply vindicated its right to a place among the bona fide University organizations. The managers are to be congratulated on the success of the work which they have been doing on their own responsibility. The club makes good music and the success of the programs it has been giving furnishes a lot of good advertising for the institution.
Those who failed to get into the ranks of the Phi Beta Kappas have to console themselves with the reflection that the emblematic key will not prove the solution of every difficulty to be met in the rough-and-tumble life we have to live. It is an honor in that it shows a combination of energy and intelligence applied in a laudable way, but it is not by any means a perpetual ticket to easy street.
Friday of this week is a holiday in observance of the birthday of our first president. We are likely to forget the significance of the occasion, and in fact there is a tendency to pay too little attention to such things. The heroes of history do not count so much for what they were personally as for what the represent. The occasions of our national holidays should be the commemoration the ideals and the indomitable purpose of some of the men who made our early history.

Electricals Organize.
The electrical engineers organized a new club to be known as the Electrical Engineering Society Monday and elected officers for the remainder of the year. They are: Leland Strode president; Carl Dassler, vice president; R. L. Feagles, secretary; Arthur Groesbeck, treasurer.
The new organization will supersede the old compulsory organization that has been maintained by the senior electricals for some time. It is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, and thesis credit will be given for papers presented to the society.
To Award "Gavel and O."
--for Spring and Summer are now ready for your inspection. Clothes that are totally different,
At a meeting of the Oratorical Association Tuesday evening, it was decided to recommend to the Oratorical Board the awarding of a "Gavel and O," as an honorary emblem, to men making the intercollegiate debating teams. The only specifications made were that the gavel is to intersect the "O" and that the emblem may be worn either on a jersey or specially designed pennant.— The Umpire (Oklahoma.)
Prof. Duncan Spoke to Graduates.
--for Spring and Summer are now ready for your inspection. Clothes that are totally different,
The graduate club held its regular monthly meeting at the home of Miss Walling Saturday evening. About forty members of the club were present and listened to an interesting address by Professor Duncan of the chemistry department on the "Chemical Interpretation of Life."
