Enough has been said about the deficiencies of college training in the use of English to make any plan to improve it of interest. The one now before the faculty of the College, which provides that a student who shows in his class work that he cannot write good English shall be required to take Rhetoric I a second time, may not be adopted as a University rule but has the merit of being a well thought-out plan to make college training more efficient. As one member of the faculty said, the object of the rule is not to punish anybody for not knowing how to write, but to bring instruction home to the place where it is most needed. It is hard to see how the new rule could be otherwise than beneficial to students. In fact, it is hard to see any objection to it, other than that it may be rather hard on the English instructors, who already have to read about all the bad English they can stand.
The two addresses delivered at the University by Ambassador Bryce, made a valuable addition to the year's experience for every student. As the only state University to entertain Ambassador Bryce on his western trip, the University of Kansas is especially fortunate, and the large attendance at the lectures showed that University people completely appreciated their good fortune
Miss Hazel Kelly of Paola, who attended the University last semester, is visiting at the Pi Ph house today. Miss Kelly will leave for an extended European trip May 16.
A CHALLENGE AND
AN ACCEPTANCE
"Chemicals" and "Miners" to Play Ball Game for Keg of "Otherwise," Tis Said.
NOTICE.
NOTICE.
The Chemical Engineers Challenge
The Mining Engineers To a Ball Game,
To be played on any date the challenged may choose to play. Losing side to set up a keg of beer (vant or otherwise.)
Done this 27th day of April, 1910.
The above was placed on the bulletin board of the Mining building Wednesday and the following answer shortly afterward appeared on the bulletin board in the chemistry building:
NOTICE.
The Mining Engineers are pleased to accept the Challenge of the Chemical Engin
To a game of ball to be Played in the near future. The losing side to set up a large keg of otherwise. MINING ENGINEERS
Signed, MINING ENGINEERS
When this much advertised affair is to take place has not yet been definitely settled. A "hitch" has been caused in the arrangements, it is said, through the fact that the teams do not agree on exactly how many gallons a "large keg" contains. None of the players have ever indulged in this game before, but it is expected that many "three baggers" will be the result of the contest, since the managers of both teams have agreed to place the keg of "otherwise" on third base. This is done, it is said, so that the lucky ones who get this far may refresh themselves.
It is also said that a larger key of this so-called "otherwise" will be placed behind the catcher, as an inducement to bring the players away from the "oasis" or third.
LOST TO HASKELL.
Freshmen Made a Lone Score in Game With Indians.
Hal Harlan's bunch, with the exceptions of the second inning in which five runs were scored by the Indians, out-played. Haskell in all departments, but could not overcome the result of that fatal second.
The freshman baseball team took the small end of a 5 to 1 score Thursday afternoon when they played the Haskell Indians on the Indians' ground.
At the meeting of the Board of Regents yesterday, Rose Morgan, '94, who is now teaching in Topeka, and Benjamin F. Stelter, '05, now at Yale, were elected instructors in rhetoric at the University. They will take their positions next year.
The feature of the day was the long hit made by Ben Davis which resulted in the one loner run of the freshmen.

The Queen of Hearts,
Again makes tarts,
Full thousand, so they say;
You'd better come
And taste those tarts,
And take a few away.

KANSAS WITHDRAWS.
By the action of the Athletic board at its last meeting, the University of Kansas voluntarily withdrew from the Kansas Conference of Athletics. The action means that the University will meet all future athletic aggregations under the rules of the Missouri Valley conference only. As a result the football games which are regularly scheduled with such teams as the Normals, St. Marys, the Aggies, and Washburn, will either be discontinued or those schools will be required to meet the University under the Conference rules.
From the State Athletic Conference.
There is probably no doubt but that the smaller state schools will agree to play under the new rules. Washburn has already stated that she is willing to accept the restrictions.
Professors Carruth, Sisson, and Hunter returned Thursday morning from their visit to colleges of the state.
Faculty Members Return.
McPherson College at McPherson, Cooper Memorial at Sterling and Bethany-College at Newton were visited.
The Kansas medical society will meet on May 4,5 and 6, in Topeka. Dr. Sudler and Dr. Schorel of the School of Medicine will read papers.
