Barbs Today.
The Associated Barbs will meet to
day at 11 a. m. Ui the Chemistry lec
ture room for the annual election dT
officers. The last election of student
members of the Athletic Board demon
strated the fact that the Barbs by no
means have a "cinch" In University
politics, and It Is felt that the work of
the organization for next year depends
largely upon the officers elected at the
meeting today. This fact has caused
greater intorest to bo manifested over
the outcome of the election.
Sigma XI Election.
The annual election of Sigma XI
wljl take place Frlday-jevening. Only
those whose work has been up to a
certain standard and who have, In

lon. Shadow Measurements.
The Department of Geology recently
received a report on the shadow
Ineasurements made by five state ufil
vorsltles on April 17, 1905, for deter
mining the curvature of the earth. The
measurements were made by the state
universities at the following places:
Lawrence, Kansas, Lincoln, Nebraska,
Vermillion, S. D., Minneapolis, Minn.,
and Grand Forks, N. D.
The observations taken by this Uni
versity were taken by the Department
of Geology. The observations were
taken when the weather was partly
cloudy and this partly accounts for
the error of 13 37"., The most accu
rate observations were taken: .at
Grand Forks, N. D., where an error
of but 21" was made. The Lawrence
Kansas, observations .ranked second
In point of accuracy vith an error of
2' 58", and the -Nebraska observations
were next b'est.

COMPETITION DRILL TOMORROW.
Greater Interest Has Been Displayed
the By Men in the Battalion.
Tomorrow afternoon the annual
competition drill of the Battalion of
Cadets will be held. For the last two
weeks all of the companies have been
earnestly working to win the much
coveted cup. Every morning has wit
nessed them drilling In the campus
and each day at Chapel hour spell
downs have been held to select the
three men who will represent each
company in the Individual drill.
Much interest has been manifest
both within the battalion and anrong
the other students In the year's "com
pel." The customary speculation has
been prevalent as to the prospects of
each company. The men of each
company and their supporters, who
wear the company's colors insist that
their company will win. At any rate
it Is certain that the companies will
each put forth their most stringent, ef
forts to win the prize, and that the
drill of this year will not fall behind
the paco set by previous competitive
drills. Of the former contests since
1893 Company D has won the cup
four times, Company B three times
and Company A twice. G Company
has unfortunately never succeeded In
carrying off the honors.
The twelve men who will compete
for the gold and silver medals have
not been selected jet. The last spell
down will bo held today and the names
of the successful contestants will be
annoTnrced tomorrow.
