The recent statement that the University may refuse admission to probably five hundred students within the next two years, has caused much comment. We are inclined to believe that while the matter recommends itself in many ways, there would be considerable difficulty in carrying it out to a successful conclusion.
The University of Kansas is a free institution. It is maintained by the state at the expense of every taxpayer within the limits of the state of Kansas, and there is no power than can deny to any applicant admission to this state institution. If the matter was taken up by any student who was denied admission he could have a writ of mandamus issued and could compel the authorities to allow him to enter the University.
While we believe that the point in question—the lack of appropriations—is extremely pat, the plan as applied to a state institution would find many obstacles.
The visit of the three hundred high school students to the University this week, should receive especial attention. Coming from high schools from all parts of the state they may be regarded as representative high school students and as such should be made to feel that when it is their time to go to a school of higher learning, they should come to the University of Kansas. Let us show them all the courtesies that we know and let them see that even though we do sit up all night in poker games and beer drinking contests, and spend the day in various other forms of vicious diversion, there is still left a small trace of the University spirit.
Some provision ought to be made by University students for the entertainment of the visitors from their home counties. H.C. Herman, who has charge of this work is meeting with little success in obtaining places for the high school students. Let us see that all of our friends receive attention this week and by so doing we will make them staunch friends of the University.
WHO'S LOONY NOW?
Squirrels in the Lawrence parks have rabies. We have often thought that we, too, should go mad if we had to live in Lawrence—Dodd Gaston in Topeka Capital.
Verses by University Poets of Serious Nature.
POEMS ARE WRITTEN.
All the material for the book that is being published by the poet's club of the University was handed in to the committee in charge last Thursday and the verses were taken to the printer's office where the labor of putting the volume into final book form will be performed. Each of the six contributors has written five
poems that will be printed, and the members of the club in charge of the publication expect to realize enough from the proceeds of the volume to pay all the expenses of the printing. The verses that are incorporated in the volume are generally of a serious nature and some of them partake of a reactionary and progressive spirit. The company that will publish the volume is the Journal-World, and they expect to have the book from the press by the middle of April. The members of the club who are
contributors to the book are Gale Gossett, Adella Pepper, Anna Manley, Willard Wattles, John Shea, and Harry Kemp.
Sunday Lecture to Girls.
Dr. Payne will deliver a course of two lectures before the girls of the University, at Myers hall, Sunday, April 2nd and 9th, at 3 p.m. The subjects will be: "The son of man and the Son of God" and "His Resurrection."

A Spring Style Show of EXTRAORDINARY IMPORTANCE
We think we can show you, if you'll give us about twenty minutes of your time here at the Store, that the Ober way of selecting a Big New Clothing Stock is really the only way that insures the fullest possible satisfaction to men and young men who want to be strictly up-to-the-minute in their wearing apparel. Instead of buying our goods on the "reputation" or "advertising ability" of clothing manufacturers, we go into the markets ourselves and make a thorough comparison of all the High-Class Brands, selecting only such makes as we know to be the "best in the field." During our last buying trip, just completed, we examined and compared the latest productions of more than 25 celebrated manufacturers of Men's and Young Men's Clothes—a task that few Clothiers have the patience (or is it progressiveness) to undertake.
What is the result? Simply this: We have assembled, and now have ready to show you, the very cream of the Spring Clothing output, the besttailored Clothes, the most authentic models, the richest of foreign and domestic woolens, from England, Ireland, Scotland and America, the best of the extreme styles and the best of the conservative styles. We have brought to Lawrence as many as fourteen "exclusive" models in Suits and Overcoats, such as no other store in Lawrence will show this Spring. Whether you choose to pay
$35, $30, $25, $20, $18, $15, $12.50 or $10 we will show you an endless collection of styles and weaves, all crisply new, and thoroughly consistent with the Ober policy of giving the best money's worth to be had. Immense new lines also ready in Stetson Hats, Imperial Hats, Ober Special Hats, Nettleton Shoes, Forbush Shoes, Thompson Shoes, Manhattan Shirts--and the most extensive Boys' Clothing display we have ever had.
