ANOTHER PHASE OF COL LEGE LOYALTY
It is a lamentable fact, but nevertheless true, that the strongest men at the University are prone to shirk the work in which they are most proficient. Particularly is this the case in debating and track work. The football team seems to be the only organization in the university that holds its men with any certainty for more than one year. Men who last year made a record on the track team are this year taking apparently no interest in track work; men who in years past have been the star debaters of the university are taking absolutely no interest in the tryouts this year. What is the reason for this condition of affairs? The track men make a K and receive the same official honors that football men do. The debaters are awarded a gavel with a K on it. Neither can say they do not receive worthy rewards for their efforts.
University men who excel in any particular line of work should feel it a duty incumbent upon them from mere loyalty to their school to get out and exert their best efforts to make the university victorious in every activity of college life. If Kansas is going to do anything at all in track and debating this spring, some of the many men of special calibre must come out and do their share.
There is no occasion for alarm in the diphtheria situation.

The cases of those actually suffering from the disease are extremely few and every effort has been taken by the university medical authorities to keep the contagion from spreading. In such a time as this wide spread alarm can only hurt the university and can do nobody any good. If everybody exercises due care and precaution there is absolutely no chance of an epidemic becoming started among the students.
It is still not to late to speak in favor of the quiz week reform. The university council meeting to discuss the matter will not be held until next week and every display of the real sentiment of the student body in regard to the movement will help in getting the proposed system or at least part of it adopted. The advantages and disadvantages of the plan have have been discussed so much that there is no need to enter into them. It is enough to say that every student should be interested in the proposed changes and show this interest by expressing his sentiment.

University Making Elaborate Plans to Entertain Teachers.
PREPARING FOR CONFERENCE
The annual conference for high school teachers and superintendents will be held at the University of Kansas March 20 and 21, and will be under control of the departments of American and European History. An extensive program is being prepared and many attractions will be provided to entertain the visitors.
The University has secured Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the Outlook, to give a course of lectures during that week. The lectures begin March 15 and continue for one week, giving the teachers an opportunity to hear one of the foremost editors of the day.
The Fine Arts School will give a concert before the final lecture. In addition to these attractions, the Annual Art Exhibit of noted paintings will be in progress.
MEETING WITH SUCCESS.
University Making Affiliations With Smaller Colleges.
A Committee on Visitation composed of Deans Marvin and Blackmar and Professors McClung and Walker was appointed last fall. The purpose of the committee is to get the University better acquainted with the neighboring institutions and to consider possible affiliations of those schools with our professional departments so that students may take the freshman and sophomore years of the engineering and medical courses there and then come to K.U. to finish. The colleges are taking well to the suggestions of the committee and several will be able to offer work in the Medical course next year.
The following schools have been visited: Washburn, Campbell, Friends, Fairmount, Southwestern, Kansas Wesleyan, McPherson, Cooper, Ottawa.
Mandolin and Guitar Playing.
Mr. Fritschy the Swiss artist, who is the official mandolin and guitar instructor of K. U., assisted Mr. Samuel Siegle, the world's greatest mandolinist, both in teaching and concert playing for six years in New York and Chicago. All students wishing to play these instruments artistically are requested to enroll at once. See Dean Skilton for further information.
