THE UNION BUILDING
Feb. 15, 16, 17.—M. P. Gould of New York will give lectures on pharmacy.
The movement for a Students' Union Building started auspiciously. A large number of the men attended the mass meeting and after expressing a favorable sentiment toward the movement gave a more substantial assurance of their support by signing pledges. The work done during the holidays by these men who have pledged themselves will determine in a large measure the activity with which the future campaign is conducted.
That the University needs a building such as is being contemplated, is obvious. Such a meeting as was held at the Football Smoker last Wednesday evening demonstrated that gatherings where all may meet and mingle, are conducive to a healthy college spirit.
If the men will take the proper interest such a building is assured. The regents will do their part and if the people of the state realize the good that will be obtained by the erection of the building they will do their part.
Ohio state says that its college spirit has increased 100 per cent since its Union building has been built. If we can create a better spirit than we now have the results that will come in the future can hardly be exaggerated.
Will the students do their part?
PAY YOUR DEBTS.
There are a few students at the University who hold their obligations too slightly. A few weeks ago a subscription was started for a blanket fund and $150 was pledged by the College students. Up to date $60 of this amount are unpaid and the repeated calls of the College president have failed to make these neglected ones "come through."
These people have been asked and invited a number of times to attend to their bounden duty. The committee in charge of the funds needs the money and unless those who are in arrears pay up, they will publish a list of delinquents next week.
A little thought and attention by those who know that they owe the money will forestall an unpleasantness that will be embarrassing but fully deserved.
DOD GASTON'S CASE
Dod Gaston's column on Second Thought has this to say this morning:
We observe incidentally, that
We wonder who subpoenaed House in this football matter anyway.
after trying it for a year without, those in authority at K. C. are about to employ a football coach.
The Law Scrimimage last evening was a pretty tribute to the football team. And the precedent of making it a full dress function was probably thoroughly established and henceforth this annual affair will be one of the formal parties of the year. Last evening the majority of the men were in full dress and the distinctive character of the evening semed to demand it. Next year no doubt the Serim will be stricly formal.
PROSPERITY FOR PROFS.
But There's a Long Dry Speel Coming Next Month.
Two pay-days came near telescoping at the University this month. For some reason the November pay checks of faculty members and employees were late in coming from Topeka. The tenth of the month rolled round, the date when the penalty is added to the gas bills, and still no checks. It was Wednesday that the warrants arrived, following a visit by Edward E. Brown to Topeka to see what the matter was.
Now the powers at Topeka, as if to make up for their neglect, announce that University employees will draw their December pay on December 22, the day vacation begins. This is a custom usually followed by the state auditor. How the University people will stand the prosperity of two pay-days in two weeks is a matter of speculation.
The moral of this story is, that it's a long time between paydays—in January. The checks for that month will arrive about February 10.
'Shellev's 'Hark Hark My Soul'

The evening service in the First Methodist church tomorrow night will appeal to the students by music and the address of Dr. Wolfe. The thought of the last Sunday before students go home for Christmas will be kept in mind.
