UNIVERSITY CALENDAR.
Thursday, April 5:
Prof. Raymond will speak to newspaper classes.
"The Crisis."
Friday, April 5:
Hon. Manford Schoonover will speak in chapel,
"The Crisis,"
The recent conduct of the members of the Theta Nu Epsilon fraternity brings up the question, what principles does that organization stand for or for what purpose does it exist? In answer, the mild way of putting it would be, it stands for good fellowship, and this good fellowship is notoriously understood to mean the ability to be on certain occasions a "true sport" in the fullest meaning. The T. N. E. inter-fraternity fraternity does not stand for a single high moral or scholarly purpose. Why such an organization should exist in the University with such motives and purposes as are common to it everywhere is a question unanswerable; and for such an organization to exist void even of a ray of good is a blot upon the moral side of our institution. Already some of the fraternities here and at other schools have prohibited their members from joining the T. N. E., and others have permitted such with great reluctance. The reputation of the organization, though at times it may be exaggerated, is far from being a good recommendation for the University to the people of the State.
The showing of the base ball team against the two league teams played the last few days gives us ample reason to predict a winning team for Kansas this year. The game with the Saints Monday demonstrated that Kansas has a number of good hitters while the errors showing clearly a lack of practice were alone responsible for the defeat. The positions with the exception of second base have each strong men. If Art Relihan could be made eligible to hold down the second base the team would be strong throughout. Harlan and Kaufmann have each shown their ability to hold their own with
the professional pitchers. This leaves Hoffman as a utility man.
Why wouldn't a training table for a bunch of the long distance track men be a good thing a couple of weeks before the Missouri track meet?
There are moments in a base ball game when a safe hitter will turn defeat into victory and on the other hand there are times when a players errors turn victory into defeat.
In introducing Chancellor Strong to a chapel audience at Washburn last Wednesday President Plass said, speaking of the friendly feeling between the two institutions: "They are very good friends except about four weeks in the fall, and if the score comes out 0 to 0 that ratio indicates the unfriendly feeling." Well, Kansas hopes the friendly feeling may continue, but the way of indicating the unfriendly feeling doesn't suit. Can't some other way be devised for expressing it?
Not only the show The Crisis will be good but the pictures are good. How could they be otherwise, look at the subjects and the pictures were made by Squires.
--are drawing crowds daily. These Pictures will be returned to New York Monday morning. As there is no charge for seeing this Display, our advice is: See these Pictures of Nature this week.

Ask any of the towns best dressers where to get the smartest Suit, the swellest Top Coat, the handsomest pair of Trousers, the Correct Hat, a choice Tie, or Shirt, or anything in the Toggery line and the answer will be — "Why, at Ober's, of course."
They have learned to expect the best from us, because they always get it.
Good dressers always keep an eye on this store.

KANSAS STUDENTS AT PARIS.
Prof. F. N. Raymond Gave an Interesting Talk in Chapel.
Prof. F. N. Raymond gave an interesting talk in chapel Tuesday morning on "Kansas Students at the University of Paris." Prof. Raymond was away on leave of absence last year and during that time he visited many foreign universities especially the University of Paris. "The American students there," said Prof. Raymond, "unlike those of any other nation, are scattered among all branches of study. A great number, almost one thousand, are in the school of fine art. There are about a dozen students in the "Kansas Colony" and the most of them are studying art. The university authorities take much interest in American students for they are anxious to ascertain the American attitude toward European higher education. The Kansas student goes to a foreign university to bring home what is valuable. He does not try to be the master scholar, but the master workman and when he returns he proves that he has accomplished his aim."
