EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The engineering school of the University enjoys a more unified social life than any other school on the campus. The good fellowship shown at the smoker in the Y. M. C. A. parlors Thursday evening is worthy of emulation by other schools.
The students are still unanimous in the opinion that it would be an appropriate thing to have a students' speaker day. Of course the faculty cannot be censured for not wanting to be "shown up" and roasted, but even if it does go a little hard the students would like to see the faculty make the sacrifice and let the students talk.
A communication addressed to the Kansan laments the fact that at class parties programs are made out before the dance. True, this practice does have some objections. About the greatest one is that one doesn't get to dance after paying his "six bits" unless he is a live one.
The University is fortunate in securing such a man as Lyman Abbott, doubly fortunate in securing him an entire week. He is one of the most thorough thinkers in the country and the students of the University should make every effort to come in contact with him.
The first track meet of the season comes off in Convention Hall next Friday, with the prospects growing brighter every hour for Kansas. The men are all in excellent condition
for the meet and there are sure to be some surprises. Track men say the balance of victory lies in the hands of the shot putters and with Missouri depending on Branham and a new man to take first and second against two Kansans who are putting the shot 37 and 38 feet, the prospects for Kansas look exceptionally good. The men are now on the training table and the coach is sparing no effort to bring back a victory from Kansas City. It is now up to the students to give the men their full support. If the real old genuine Jayhawker enthusiasm can be aroused next Friday it will go a long ways toward insuring a victory for Kansas.
The proposed plan of sickness insurance being developed by the University health board deserves the hearty support of every loyal student at the University. For the small expense of $2.00 one can save himself a large doctor bill in case of illness. The opportunity of making the plan a success is now before the school. The students should not wait till next year. The University can not not

J. B. CaseTells of the Work of the Trans=Mississippi Congress.
J. B. Case, of Abilene, spoke in chapel Friday about the work done by the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress of which organization he is the president for this year. By its recommendations the Congress has been instrumental in securing legislation for opening the mouth of the Mississippi and creating the harbors of Galveston and Portland. The federal Reclamation Act was enacted along lines suggested by the Trans-Mississippi Congress. By authority of this law the United States government has loaned approximately $45,000,000 to make arable the waste lands of the west. This money will be gradually returned to the treasury in annual payments by the home builders who occupy the reclaimed land.
In the College World.
The Athletic Board of Oklahoma pronounced base ball dead last week. Last year the Sooners had a good team but here of late the good old game has been gradually declining.
The Whisker Club of Oklahoma is flourishing. Last week several co-eds were voted into honorary membership.
The co-eds at Washington have declared that they hereafter refuse to walk or talk with any youth who is cultivating a pompadour.
The members of a certain fraternity at California held a rat hunt at their chapter house. The one who caught the most rats, got as a reward, the bounty money for the whole catch.
The seniors are sprouting their spring stubble at Michigan. Many students are maturing magnificent mustaches.
E. L. Billings, of Independence, is visiting his brother Roy, a sophomore in the college.
