MANY TRIED OUT.
Cast of "The Mikado" Will Be Decided By Tuesday.
The largest number of students that has ever tried out competing for places in the cast of "The Mikado," which will be given this year as the annual opera of the school of Fine Arts for an opera, was at work this week Tuesday and Wednesday nights. About thirty boys and thirty girls tried out for the twenty-four places in the chorus.
Among the contestants are a number of the well known singers of the University aside from those trying for the nine solo parts. The cast is considerably smaller than that of the Princess Ida, the opera given last year.
Dean Skilton has not chosen his singers yet, but expects to have decided by tonight. He was assisted in the tryouts by Mrs. Lyons and Miss Mossler.
GETS INDIAN INSECTS.
Noted Collector Contributes to the University.
Last week the Entomology department received a fine collection of Exotic Lepidoptera from India. These insects were gathered by a collector whose name is withheld, and who for several years has been doing field work for the British Museum.
It was through the system of exchange which the University has with British Museum that Mr. Withington, who has charge of the department here, was able to get these valuable specimens. So far no other university has been able to obtain any specimens from the noted collector.
TO STUDY OTHER SCHOOLS.
Prof. Olin Takes Two-Weeks Trip to Other State Universities.
Professor A. S. Olin left today for a two weeks visit at the state universities of Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, Illinois and Missouri to investigate their plans of organizing the teachers' college or the school of education.
Chancellor Strong has appointed a committee to recommend to him a plan for organizing the school of education recently provided for by the Board of Regents. Professor Olin's visit is for the purpose of enabling the University of Kansas to profit by the experience of other institutions in this field.
CARS STARTED SATURDAY.
First Car Was Run on Tennessee Street This Morning.
The street car service on Tennessee street was begun Saturday. The first car which ran over the line that morning covered the distance in schedule time. The roadbed was in perfect condition.
Owing to the scarcity of cars the company will be compelled to run on a twenty minute schedule. The service however will be the best the company can give until the closed cars arrive two weeks from now.
Guy LeRoy Brown of Sabetha visited Saturday and Sunday with his sister Dora and other friends. He was a senior in the college last year and also a freshman in the School of Medicine, being president of the class.
MARINE SPECIMENS LISTED.
Are Now Ready to Be Sent to Kansas Laboratories.
A list of the zoological material collected for the University this summer has been prepared by Prof. Baumgartner. Copies of this list are being sent out to the high schools of the state this week by Prof. W. H. Johnson, high school visitor.
The University expedition to Puget Sound collected and preserved marine specimens enough to last the University and the high schools of the state for a number of years. The University supplies the high schools and small colleges of Kansas with this laboratory material at cost.

--it painfull cost
Though gnarled, the fever's never
quenched
May floods of honor 'round you roll
May glory be for you.'
Oh Kansas braves, of Kansas' goa
Oh guards of old K. U.
In choking dust and scorching sun
In freezing slime or snow,
Kick Column
You grapple, tumble, struggle, run
With honest hearts aglow.
You suffer knocks, and sinews wrenched
No king or lord in feudal strife
Had half such valiant might
And sprains at painful cost
Your grit is never lost.
To struggle for his bartered life,
And for his kingdom, fight.
Had half such valiant might
To struggle for his bartered life
Oh friend, and student of our school
If fate should threat defeat
Let's down the traitor, Ridicule,
Raise震叫 to her feet
Defeat or gain, peal loud our song,
Be loyal to K. U.
And in one body stern and strong
Oh rooters, each of you.
Dear Editor: Why would it not be a good thing to advocate the placing of public ink-wells in all of the principal buildings on the hill? It would not cost much to install them and if necessary the student body could keep them supplied with ink by an assessment of five cents per.
Editor of Kansan: Why is it that the school of Engineering don't make arrangements so that all engineers can attend Tuesday chapel as well as Friday. We would like to hear the members of the faculty speak on Tuesday.
WEAR PRINCESS SUITS.
AN ENGINEER.
Can Kennedy's Stars Be Ever-Victorious Under This Handicap?
"I think Oklahoma is away behind in football styles," said a co-ed who watched the game Saturday. "Those suits that have the jerseys and trousers in two pieces must be awfully unhandy and embarrassing to wear, for the two pieces are always pulling apart. I should think the Oklahoma players would get Princess suits, such as our boys wear."
