office square, through several hotels, down a street and back
to the campus where a big bonfire was built on the football field.
Every thing on the grounds that was movable was thrown
on the tire. An old car that has stood for several years back
of the old Mechanic Arts Building was dragged outond burned.
Somebody sent in a call to the police station and a police
man was sent up to the University to investigate. He did
nothing, however. The boys were simply diverting themselves
a little to show their enthusiasm over the defeat of the Jay
Hawkers.

The Union program Friday night was a roaring success. Tom
Maxwell's readings, Mr. Hubbell's vocal selections, and J. W
Searson's Love Methods, were winning numbers. The piano solo
by Mrs. Chapman was keenly appreciated. Both the vocal selec
tions by Miss Floy Stowe and Mr. Hubbell were well rendered
and highly appreciated. Mr. Hubbell was encored. Miss
Van Camp's "Too Utterly Utter" wa3 something unusual,
highly entertaining, and well delivered. Mr. Searson's
"Method in Love" proved to be a paper full of mature reflect

The missionary meeting last Sunday was well attended and gtoltz gave "Jim and His-Cousin" with his own jovial spirit
of good interest. Miss Elsie Blandin and Mr. C. J. Allen
presented different phases of missionary work in Africa. A
special feature of the Sunday afternoon meetings is the
singing.
At the regular Sunday afternoon meeting, two weeks ago,
tlt matter of a canvass of the students being made in the in
terest of the college settlement was mentioned, and, at the sug
gestion of several, a collection of five dollars, and several dol
lars additional in pledges, were secured. This was done to
facilitate the action of the board in the canvass.
The association has strong hopes of securing additional room
in the near future. There has been a long felt want of more
commodious quarters to meet the increasing growth of the
association. If larger quarters arc obtained, there may be a
move to secure an outside entrance, which would greatly in
crease the efficiency of the rooms to students.
The University authorities have given the matter of em
ployment into the hands of the association, and all applica
tions for student labor will be referred to it. Students desiring
to do work should call at the rooms and register their names
infused into it. Thos. Maxwell is a popular reader, and Unions
audiences are always anxious to hear him.
The preliminary contests are on. Sixty-four have registered,,
and eight divisions have been arranged with eight in each.Jj
