The student publications of the institutions which have met Kansas in debate this year express great pleasure and satisfaction at having won the decision over such well-trained debaters as were sent against their men by Kansas. This, while intended as a compliment to the winning teams, also compliments the Kansas men and the University. There is nothing less decisive than the verdict rendered by the judges of a debate, even when the verdist is most conscientiously given. Half the people who have heard the arguments may have formed an opinion of the outcome of the debate at variance with that of the judges, and their opinion is not in the least affected by the announcement of the official decision. Since winning or losing is so hard to determine, there is no credit in failing to get a decision. The careful instruction given by the University is bound to im prove debating, and therein lie the profit of this form of inter collegiate contest.
If the article elsewhere a The Kansan concerning the number of courses offered in the new University catalog is somewhat fanciful, it nevertheless has in it some food for thought. It shows that even the students who remain longest at the University come into contact with only a small portion of the class-room activity of the school. It is a common thing for visitors to express surprise at the immensity of the educational plant the state has established on Mount Oread. Students likewise would be surprised if they could realize all that the University is and all that it is doing.
When the high school students of the state come to the University Saturday, every student here should do all in his power to make their short stay pleasant and instructive. The impressions the visitors will receive of the University will depend largely on the extent to which they are made to feel at home.

HERE'S FINE WRITING.
A Colorado Paper Describes a College Event.
"Pendent from the ceiling myriad college pennants in a riot of colors formed indices to practically each and every young woman on the floor, the apex of each college, fraternity or class emblem pointing out some fair maiden, standing by the side of ; manly escort, the picture of youthful vigor, all waiting for the dance to begin. It was a beautiful sight, the young maiden and matrons in their beautiful gowns and the men in somber black, a scene which impressed one with the high standard of college social life in this section of the state."
Reception to Senior Laws
"Uncle Jimmy" Green and Mrs. Green gave their annual reception last night at their home for the Law School faculty, their wives and the members of the senior class. A very pleasant evening was spent playing cards. Severa University girls assisted in serving refreshments.

A Synopsis For Those. Who "Nicht Verstehen."
GERMAN PLAY TONIGHT.
The two German plays which will be given in F. A. A. hall tonight may be difficult for some, who do not talk the language fluently, to understand. For that reason a synopsis of both plays is given herewith.
The first is called "Mueller the Scapegoat." It seems Mr. Mueller, a well-to-do manufacturer of tinware, is boarding at a Berlin hotel and complains somewhat of the bill of fare. Tiring of hotel life, he establishes a home of his own. A widow, named Schwidt, from Schleusingen, with whom he has been in correspondence, agrees to come to Berlin where they are to be married.
The widow sends Mueller a message that she is coming, but the message is held over a day on account of his absence from the hotel and when finally delivered to him, he learns that the widow is there in person.
She proves to be all that he had hoped for, but just before the time for the wedding, severab amusing things happen.
A servant brings a battered hat, and asks a tip for rescuing Mueller from the drunken brave of the night before. Another servant brings in a woman's hat that Mueller had ordered for his bride And so several interruptions occur and a number of explanations are required. All this trouble is caused because the Muellers are as thick in Germany as the Smith are in America. As usual all end well, for Mueller succeeds in convincing his intended that he is sincere in his love.
"An American Duel," the second play, involves two suitors who are praying for the hand of a lady of wealth. One suitor is a man of rank, the other a poor painter. The girl in the plot invites both to call in order that she may study them at close range. After some attempts on the part of both to rid himself of the other's presence, an American duel is proposed. The successful one is to be chosen by lot. In the finale the man of rank wins out in the drawing, but in the meantime the widow has made her own choice and as a result the painter wins her hand.
