The men of the University should not miss attending the mass meeting to be held on next Tuesday at 4:30 for the further consideration of the constitution of the Student Council. It is imperative that the constitution be adopted at once and that the council be elected and get down to work yet this spring. The students are nearer to obtaining a council than ever before and while the iron is hot they should strike. If the council is not established before school is out in June it will be as difficult to revive it as it was this year to get the idea started.
About the rawest deal that Jayhawker rooters have ever pulled off took place in yesterday's baseball game with Missouri. When one of the Tiger players slid into first and sprained his ankle the "roughnecks" in the bleachers mocked him and called him a "staller." The majority of the students deprecate such an unsportsmanlike action and, perhaps, in time the small, ever-decreasing, minority of those who hiss and mock at every opportunity will absorb some sense of propriety from the majority.
The debate last night was the best that has taken place in the chapel in the past three years at least. Each team was well balanced and presented their arguments in a smooth, forceful manner. The Oklahomaans were manifestly less experienced than the Jayhawker debaters but our honorable opponents to the south of us made up for their inexperience on the platform by the thoroughness of their arguments. The attitude of the audience was especially worthy of commendation.

The Imperial People
Have outdone all their previous efforts this season and constructed some styles of hats that are creating a ripple of pleasure throughout dressy circles. The gray-blue effects in soft hats are making a wonderful hit, especially with the younger set, and we're having a big call for the new brown shades in derbies—they are unusually smart. Remember, we have the whole Imperial line best hats in the world for the money-

At Chapel Yesterday.
In the absence of H. C. Bowman, of Topeka, who was scheduled to speak in chapel Friday morning, Chancellor Strong called on the chapel speakers committee of the faculty to occupy the time. As chairman of the committee, Professor W. L. Burdick made an entertaining impromptu speech concerning the difficulties and aims of the committee in securing speakers for Tuesday and Friday mornings. He said that all speakers were distinctly informed that six minute talks were long enough for Tuesday and that the Friday morning addresses were to occupy only fifteen or twenty minutes. He explained that in addition to the instruction or pleasure of the students the selection of speakers for the Friday chapel exercises considered the value of making new friends and the coming in touch with old friends of the University. Professor J. N. Van der Vries, to whom Professor Burdick referred as the orator of the faculty, referred to himself as a "hoo-doo" and would say nothing more positive than to invite the students to the baseball game.
As a musical program had also been considered for the morning. Chancellor Strong called on Dean Skilton for an organ solo. The number was well received and an encore secured.
Carnegie Fund Secretary Here.
John G. Bowman, secretary of the Carnegie Foundation, is visiting the University today. The Foundation has to do with the pension fund for the advancement of teaching. He is being entertained by Chancellor Strong.
