The winning of the Oklahoma debate last night opened the debating season for Kansas in an auspicious manner. It was a good debate. We debated against a good team and won. There are three more debates yet to come this spring. We have three good teams and there is no reason why we should not take all of them. Of course it will require the hardest kind of work on the part of the men composing the teams, but they must remember that work, and hard work, is an obligation they incur when they accept a position on a debate.
The K. U. debater receives for his work no recognition from the University. The men who represented Kansas last night had worked hard for several weeks, harder than athletes because their work is not so interesting, yet they must be content with the plaudits of the crowd that heard them last night. Let Kansas University recognize her debates, and we will take front rank in debating as in many other things. Many universities bestow medals and letters upon their victorious debaters. At Michigan University the state legislature has invited the team that debates Minnesota to hold the debate before a joint session of the houses of the legislature, and as a result on April 9 in the senate chamber of the state the debaters will meet. Kansas has in the past given too little heed to her debates. Let her from now on take the interest in debating that she should.
One of the things the University has been notably short on this year has been noted visitors. With one or two exceptions we have had no men of
national repute either in chapel or as lecturers. It should be one of the priceless advantages of a college course to have the opportunity of seeing and hearing men who have done things. At many universities a students lecture course is maintained. Within the next few weeks W. J.Bryan, Booker T. Washington, O'Donnell Bennett, and Edward Channing will be at Michigan while Chicago will be visited by a large number of equally prominent men.
A K. U. baseball enthusiast arrived early at the debate last night before there were many people in the chapel. "Great scott we haven't a big enough crowd to lick the umpire if we lose" he said as he looked at the crowd.
The Daily Iowan headline writer got the following lines over a column of track dope. "In the spring the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts, of track athletics—"Fat" Seydel expresses lyric emotion with sixteen pound shot."
A big grafting scheme has been unearthed at the University of Cincinnati. A number of professors were running a book store skinning students out of several thousand dollars annually.

A report tending to decrease the number of girls in colleges all over this fair land has been sent out from Chicago. It is to the effect that in the last fourteen years only sixteen girls out of every hundred girl graduates have married.
Exhibit of Japanese Prints.
The visit of the board of regents yesterday reminded a homesick freshman of the time the school directors visited the little white school house in the country. A little more formal and dignified that was all.
The crowd last night was better than it has been at most debates but it was by no means as large as it should be.
My, but the baseball microbe does flourish this kind of weather.
It wasn't hard to tell what the students had in mind when W. Y.Morgan mentioned a holiday yesterday.
A collection of about three hundred Japanese prints was brought here for the benefit of the art classes and exhibited in the museum building on Wednesday and Thursday. These prints are the property of Sogo Matsumato, a New York merchant, and were collected by him in various parts of Japan. The owner's representative, Mr.Shima, lectured Thursday afternoon on the Japanese schools of wood-cut engraving. A part of the prints were sold after the exhibition. The prints constituted a very good representative collection of the work of the various schools of Japanese wood-cut engraving of which Mr.Shima talked, all of the schools being represented except the very earliest.
