THE NEED OF A Y. M. C. A.
BUILDING.
A movement was started Sunday evening at the joint Y. M. C. A. meeting in the gymnasium to fill a long felt want at the University—an Association Building. The Y. M. C. A. is doing a splendid work among the students. It fills a place the churches cannot fill and reaches the students as no other religious organization can do. The new building would make a common meeting place for the students and would go a long way towards arousing the right kind of sentiment and feeling among them.
It is a movement that not only the University should be interested in or even the city of Lawrence but one that means a great deal to every man and woman of the State of Kansas. Such a building as Secretary Hagerman proposes to secure here at the University a home for the students to cost $75,000, is needed badly and the association workers should receive the heartiest cooperation of every student of the University in the campaign to be waged over the State to secure the funds necessary for the erection of such a building.
The action taken by the athletic association yesterday in changing the date of the annual election of the athletic board was a wise one. It will insure a strong student representation on the board when some of the most important problems of the athletic year have to be met. The change had been agitated for some time and went through unanimously because of the general feeling among the students that it would be for the best interests of athletics at the University.
The masterly address of William Jennings Bryan in the
"The Bachelor's Guide to Matrimony"
"The man who tells his wife all he knows does not know much."
"Don't go to her on your knees,go in your automobile."
Illustrated by Harrison Fisher. Something new and to the point,
The above are only two of the little kinklets. There are more and better ones.

gymnasium Sunday has aroused a great deal of criticism, favorable and unfavorable, among the university body. All unite in calling it a wonderful piece of oratory and in calling Bryan the greatest of modern orators. But some points in the substance of his speech have produced much discussion. His aims and sincerity and the whole heartedness of the address reflected well the high ideals and purposes of the man. It was extremely unfortunate, however, that he should take up a line of argument so unfair to the evolutionary theory and the evolutionists. This tendency to ridicule much of modern science, weakened an otherwise masterly address.

GLEE CLUB STOPS PANIC.
Smoke in Olathe Opera House Causes Alarm.
Besides making a distinctive hit in the music line at Olathe last Saturday night, the Glee club boys stopped a stampede caused by a fire alarm. The K. U. singers gave their concert in the town opera house. The program was half finished when the hall became filled with smoke. Men grew restless, women became almost hysterical and the whole audience was ready to make one big bolt for the door.
Snattinger, the Glee club's robust tenor, got busy about that time and learned from the stage manager that the smoke was coming from the store below where some paper was being burned. Just as the crowd was about to stampede in a mad rush for safety the Glee boys announced the source of the smoke and reassured the panic stricken audience. The program was continued as if nothing had happened.
Graduate Club Entertained.
The Graduate club made their February meeting a Washington's birthday program. Misses Dart and Hedger and Mr. Gift entertained the club at 1317 Ohio street, February 22. About half the members of the graduate school were present, and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The unique feature of the evening was the use of pictures to illustrate events in the career of Washington. Mrs. Chambers gave an interesting reading, refreshments were served, and the meeting closed with songs.
Newton C. Campbell, of the Senior Law class went to Barlesville, Oklahoma, yesterday to appear as a witness in a damage suit to be tried there.
