Recent fvents J On April 29 Nebraska defeated Kansas in interstate debate on the Monroe Doctrine question, and Buckner, Lightner, and Sawyer Won the plaudits of an excellent audience for the able work that gave a decisive victory. ei The Senior Class Book of IQO4 made its appearance May 4. The cover design is dainty and artistic, the engraving of a fine quality, much of the verse work excellent, while the literary material as a whole is equal to that of the average Senior Book. Unfortunately the book is marred by a few decidedly crude efforts at humor, which must have been inserted without realizing the suffering that such might occasion. It is much to be regretted that the editor of the Daily Neb1'askan should endanger his reputation as an able editor by seizing on one of the criticisms of the Senior Book as the subject of an editorial, decidedly below the dignity of an university publication, and which, owing to the avidity of yellow journals to pounce upon matter of this nature, has had a most deplorable ending. .ai The Nebraska interstate debate team, composed of George A. Lee, B. G. Lewis, and I. C. McReynolds, on May I3 secured unani- mous decision at Washington University, St. Louis. This is the seventh successive victory for Nebraska in interstate debate. 184
