GIRLS WENT HOME EARLY.
But They Had An Enjoyable "Hen" Party Saturday Evening.
Last Saturday night the girls of the Sophomore class were entertained at the home of Miss Nnnnie Arnold on Sycamore street, at a genuine "hen" party and Easter egg-roast. The first part of the evening was spent in making various kinds of candy and the latter part in roasting eggs. A large fire was built in the back yard around which the girls gathered to enjoy the refreshments of eggs- boiled eggs, roasted eggs, fried eggs, eggs of all descriptions- and san- wiches apples and candy. After
some mud fights and the cooking ex- periences, several good flashlight pic- tures of the festive scene were taken by Miss Agnes Mitchell. The party broke up at the early hour of ten- thirty and the "hens" flocked home- ward, declaring that this would be the last affair of its kind.
It is rumored that the sophmore boys at their egg-roast out at the "Cut" waited expectedly until mid- night hoping that the girls would surprise them at any moment. But this may be only a rumor.
The girls making up the party were; Agnes Mitchell, Gertrude Bar- ner, Etta Stannard, Jennie Bushnell, Laura Sudduth, Nannie Arnold, Aug- usta Geisenhener, Lena Scheufler, Mildred Brown, Alma Grass, Char- lotte Peterson, Emma Griffith, Lula Metcalf, Katherine Garnett, Flora Dring, Mabel Stannard and Alice Keith of K. S. A. C.
In their advance write-up of the Student Volunteer convention at Law- rence last week the editors of the Washburn Review mentioned "Bishop Eubanks" as one of the leading speakers. Mr. Eubank is entitled to all the appellations due to a graduate of a college, a theological seminary, and a medical college, and an ordain- ed Baptist minister, but the propriety of speaking of any Baptist, even one as prominent as Mr. Eubank, as "bishop," is doubted.

PRAISE FOR MR. SHIELDS.
The Kansas press, both college a secular, freely praised John Shields, who won the state oratori contest at Wichita March 11th. TI Mr. Shields out distanced his com) titors in delivery was the belief the newspaper men who heard t contest. Praise was also given t Ottawa University Campus quart Some of the comments were as f . lows:

Although Mr. Shields' subject w: threadbare and the thought showe no originality, the piece was fair well written. It was on delivery th Mr. Shields won the contest, and was on delivery of the highest typ Although the contest was fairly wo Mr. Shields had but a small lead ov the next two men .- College Life, El poria, Kansas.
Those who have been attending tl state contests regularly assert thi this one was the best thus fa Shields won his position with his d livery. His experience in prohibitic work stood him well. He appeare easy and confident on the platforr and spoke with a very clear enu ciation.

Mr. Shields is without doubt an rator of unmistakable talent and enius. His oration was knit through- ut into one clear, united and com- rehensive theme by the unexplain- ble means, known only to the true ratorical art.

SOPH "STAG" PARTY.
The Annual Pre-Easter Egg Roast Held for Men Only.
The boys of the class of '12 held their annual Easter "stag" party last Saturday evening. The party left the gym at 6:30 and proceeded to the Rock Creek "cut," where three fires were started, one for coffee, one for eggs and one for light.
Martin and Frink presided at the frying pans while Bower saw that all the "hellgramites" and other beasts were properly cooked in the coffee.
The evening was spent in feeding and singing college songs.

Wayne Gilliland tried to beat Mar- cus Clemmons' last year's record on raw eggs. Clemmons disposed of fif- teen and said they were as good as yellow-legged chicken. Gilliland got away with only two raw ones.
Louie Heiken ate more than any one in the crowd. There is evidence to show that he ate for two solid hours, and didn't stop for any time out.
WERE ROYAL HOSTS.
Lindsborg People Treated Visitors Right-The Ottawans There.
If Ottawa University did not have any delegates to the prohibition ora- torical contest at Lindsborg last week, there were nevertheless three Ottawa women there. Misses Nina Nelson, Lorena Cassidy of Wichita and Miss Dorothy Koch, of Ellinwood, stopped over at Lindsborg to attend the "Messiah," production and hear the contest. Coach N. G. Wann, of Lindsborg, formerly of Ottawa, was with the Ottawa crowd and it is said that much "rooting" for Shields was done.
One of the most enjoyable features connected with the contest at Linds- borg was the cordiality extended to the visitors. Free board and rooms were furnished the orators and visit- ing delegations. Board was given at the College dormitory and the Linds- borg people furnished the rooms. The Oratorical Association furnished free tickets to all the "Messiah" concerts, including the Langendorff concert, and the visitors were passed free into the Bethany-Wesleyan baseball game

Bethany College and the people of Lindsborg are royal hosts, as those who attended the contest will say, and the remembrance of the good treatment received will stay with the visitors for a long time to come.

THE BIG CHORUS AT WORK ON ORATORIO "MESSIAH"
TWO HUNDRED VOICES, DIRECT- ED BY PROF. BIXEL, TO SING ON JUNE 7th.
To Be One of Commencement Week Attractions-The Biggest Chorus Event in Ottawa.
What will be the largest and best chorus production ever given in Ot- tawa will be given at the First Bap- tist church the evening of June 7th, when Prof. Bixel's great chorus of two hundred voices will render the "Messiah," the most popular of sacred oratorios.
The work involved in preparing and giving this piece is something enor- mous. The entire training and direc- tion of the chorus has been done by Prof. Bixel alone. The practice has been going on since the second week of the fall semester. Prof. Bixel says without hesitation that there is ten times as much work in putting on a production of this nature as there is in any other task he ever attempted. However, he has been willing to be put to great trouble to give the people of. Ottawa a real musical treat, and the out-of-town commencement visit- ors the worth of their money.
The "Messiah," Handel's great mas- terpiece, is probably the most widely known and popular of all the great sacred oratorios, especially among English-speaking peoples, by whom it is held in something akin to venera- tion Since its first production in Dublin in 1742 it has been a drawing card. The text is taken bodily from the Scriptures, and deals with the prophecies concerning the Messiah, their fullfillment and the resurrec- tion.
The chorus giving the "Messiah" is the largest chorus ever trained in this city. It will consist of two hun- dred or more voices, about half of whom are college people. The com- pany has been practicing an entire Continued on page 4.

APRIL FOOL PROGRAM A "SCREAMING" FARCE
PHILAL STUNTS KEPT A BIG CROWD LAUGHING MOST OF THE TIME.
Olympian Debate Decided Against Co- Education-Dramatic Club Gives Program Next Monday Night.
There will be no programs by the societies Monday evening. The Philal Dramatic Club, directed by Miss Car- oline Medders, will entertain the stu- dents with several sketches, among them "Ze Modern English," and "The Mouse Trap." Everybody is in- vited.
A crowd which overflowed the hall heard the farce program which was given by the Philal literary society last Monday night. Over one hundred and fifty students and townspeople were in the audience. The program opened with an April Fool number by the Jim Crow quartet, composed of Elmer Graper, Herbert Foote, Hal Crain and Arthur Irwin. On being encored, the quartet gave a real song on the subject of "Chicken." Miss Grace Daniel then recited one of those clever "Grandfather Brown" stories, written by Mrs. D. F. Daniel. · A ·"Philalalogue" was the next num- ber on the program. Alta Surtees, Ruth Larson, Florence Cheney, Faith Pugh, Mabel Mulkey, and Gladys Tanner appeared dressed as little girls, each carrying a letter of the word "Philal." Imitating a children's exercise, each repeated an appropri- ate verse. Misses Alma Grass and Lena Scheuffler were next presented as old maids, and they sang a duet protesting against the "new woman." A lively debate followed between Wayne Gilliland and Walter Lusk on the question, "Resolved, That the tenderfoot is a higher product of civ- ilization than the cowboy." Both sides of the question were presented in an appropriate manner. Lusk having a more warlike way of presenting his points by a revolver won the decis- ion. The last number, the hit of the evening, was in the form of a game of flinch, played by Misses Laura Sud- duth and Margaret Rice and Messrs. Roe Barrett and William Lusk. The game was represented as being two years hence, and gossip was carried on relating to the careers of most of
the Philals. The "hits" were clever and decidedly to the point.
The academic Philals meet to- night and the following program is scheduled:
Devotionals, Arthur Erwin; Current Events, Kathryn Garnett; "Life of Pasteur," Herbert Gunn; piano solo, Ruth Hanna; "Pasteur Institute," Sam Marsh; reading, Flossie Travis; "Pasteur's Legacy," Gretta Hubbard.
The collegiate division of the Olympian literary society enjoyed an excellent and interesting program last Monday evening. After some well rendered music by the mandolin club Clair Price and Jesse Elder up- held the affirmative and Ernest Shank and Frank Price defended the negative side of a question in an ex- poraneous debate, the question being, "Resolved, That the state of Kansas should establish another state institu- tion for undergraduate study to be limited to girls only, and that only men be admitted to the undergradu- ate schools of the present University of Kansas." The debate was well con- ducted, both sides bringing forth good arguments. The decision of the judges was two to one in favor of the affirmative.
After the debate Eva Stephenson read a paper, entitled "Looking Back- ward," in which she gave a history of the Olympian society, its organiza- tion, its ideals, and its trials and tri- umphs in attempting to live up to these ideals. This paper was followed by a reading by Glea Stallard, which closed the program.
