We should consider ourselves fortunate at least, if we owe no more to the state than our fellowmen who reside at one of the other state institutions.
The arrangements for the interscholastic high school meet to be held on McCook field May 4th should bring a larger number of athletes than ever before. It cuts out the objectionable feature to the Kansas high schools, namely the competition of the Kansas City Missouri, high schools. The latter schools simply swept the points away last year and never sent a single athlete to Kansas.
We have every reason to be proud of the showing of our baseball team thus far. To play two games on a strange field with but one error at this stage of the season is remarkable indeed and this is what the Kansans did at Fayetteville. Kaufmann and Harlan are without a doubt making good their reputation and the support of the other members of the team is deserving of praise.
It is much to be deplored that such a state of indifference exists among some of the students at the University in regard to the rules of the library. Books are reserved on certain desks for the use of certain classes. These books are not to be taken out of the reading room and yet some of the books are carried away and do not appear again for weeks. If the person takes the book through mistake it is pardonable if through ignorance of the rules recall the proverb, "Ignorance of the law excuses nobody," if through deliberation, well such a person had better be elsewhere.
The Washburn Review treats the defeat of its debating team at the hands of Baker in a very courteous manner and fails to blame the judges with the defeat as is so often the case with the college editor.
Where is the enthusiasm we talk of at Kansas? Two days before the contest with our neighboring institution at Baker and but nine tickets sold! What has become of our debating council that is supposed at least to start the wave toward the coming event? We have a team that deserves support. It is only a short distance to the scene of the battle and a good representation should yet arrange to go.
In the amendment passed by the fraternities a few days ago making ineligible for the interfraternity base ball games any man who is now playing on the University team, the supporters of the rule in defense of their position claim that this move will serve to keep the fraternity games unprofessional as they are in other schools and will make the matches more even and interesting. The Sigma Chis on the opposite side claim that since the games already won in the past years had been played with Varsity men eligible and that this year when they were the only fraternity with men on the Varsity that this rule is unfair and seemed directed especially at them.

HEADLINES AND THEIR USES.
Papers Are Judged by Their Headlines, Says Professor Harger.
C. M. Harger, director of the Journalism department, lectured to the newspaper classes Tuesday morning on "Headlines." "There are many types of headlines, said he, "varying from the Hearst headline in letters two feet high to the overmodest and ineffective headline of a country paper. They may be libellous, humorous, yellow, vague in meaning, untruthful, and sometimes even ingenious. Writing headlines is a work of instinct, coming only with long experience. Upon them depends in a great measure the success of the paper. For most readers are in a hurry and must get the news at a glance. For that reason the good headline must be comprehensive of what is in the article below, must be expressive and truthful."
FORMER PROFESSOR TALKED.
Walter K. Palmer, Once M. E. Professor, Spoke to Electricals.
The Electrical Engineering Society was addressed last Thursday evening by Mr. Walter K. Palmer of Kansas City. Mr. Palmer was formerly in the School of Engineering of the University, having given the first course offered here in Mechanical Engineering. He is now practicing as a consulting engineer. He spoke on the Selection of Types of Equipment in Power Station Design. He told how machinery was to be chosen with reference to the various conditions in the particular work it is to perform.
Judge Green to Engineers.
At the regular meeting of the Civil Engineering Society in Snow Hall Thursday evening Judge Green will address the engineers on the subject, "Expert Testimony."
