Fencing Almost a
Lost Art With Most
University Students
What has become of the old fash-
I Ioned folks who used to look noon
fencing as one of the most valuable of
the required studies? This question
is being heard rather frequently now
adays about the university campus.
The fencing apparatus in the gym
is at tlie free disposal of the students
at all times, and the work is required
of sophomore gymnasts, and yet the
interest in the sport has been grad
ually subsiding for several years, un
til now scarcely a man within the walls
of the Uni could tell you tho first
principles of the ancient mode of war
fare. Authorities agree that the work is
splendid for training in alertness, as
well as in the art of self-defense. It
is claimed that there is nothing better
tor teaching speed of vision and quick
ness or arm. However, these qualities
aro so well brought out In boxing that
fencing has been almost entirely sup
planted in the hearts of the public.

visiting relatives In Lincoln.
We're Going to K. U.
According to a ruling of the Uni
versity of Kansas, no student may at
tend a dance at which an admission
is charged.
The gymnasium of Dartmouth Is so
large that a full-sized baseball diamond
an be laid out in it. This has already
been done and dally practice has been
held on It.
