Wonder whether Dr. Nethercut referred to any Kansas vocalists when he said you can't develop a mocking bird's voice in an owl by giving it voice culture.
The annual freshman-sophomore debate will take place in chapel Tuesday evening and from the efforts being made by the members of each team the contest promises to be one of much spirit and enthusiasm. The classes should line up as a unit and support their respective teams until the decision of the judges is announced. This debate, a mental contest, was inaugurated last year to take the place of the time honored physical contest known as the May pole "scrap." It is an honor to represent the class in such a capacity and if the two under classes come out as they should the chapel will be completely filled.
Yesterday's victory over Oklahoma made the third straight victory for Captain Brookens' baseball squad since their return from the southern trip and the tenth victory this season. With the men playing the grade of ball they are at present there is no doubt that they will win the championship of the Missouri valley. One of the hardest games of the season will be with Baker at Baldwin Wednesday. Every loyal student of the University should show his appreciation of the fine work of the team by making the trip
to the Methodist burg and help drown out the Baker! Baker! by the old time honored Rock Chalk! Jay Hawk! of Kansas.
Gift to Library.
George Innes has presented the University library with a splendid book on "The Presidents." It is bound in leather and contains a steel engraving of all the presidents from Washington to Roosevelt, together with a sketch of their lives by some famous man of letters. It will be a valuable addition to the library.

The French play to be presented May 8, entitled "Optimist and Pessimist" was taken from Labiche's "Theatre Complet." This same play was given this spring in Kansas City by Tim Murphy, and was well received.

LANSDON TO JOURNALISTS.
He said, "The Newspaper Is the Searchlight of Civilization."
"The newspaper is the searchlight of civilization," said W. C. Lansdon, University athletic director, in lecturing to the Journalism classes Friday morning after chapel.
Mr. Lansdon discussed "The Variety and Extent of Knowledge Required of the Newspaper Man." He went on to say that the first duty of the newspaper is to the community, its first aim the best service to the public good. And to accomplish that aim the newspaper man must be broadly versed in all matters of general government, politics, and history. He must be versatile for he deals with every side of life public and private. But politics is the prevailing theme of modern life and the most extensive subject for the newspaper man."
Mr. Lansdon closed his lecture by quoting Chas. Dana's maxim for the newspaper man, "and particularly, get the news, get all the news, and nothing but the news."
