WHO'S THE SVENGALI AT SALINA "HIGH?"
Some Hypnotist Took $28.89 to Send the Team to Lawrence
Co.
By C. E. McConchie
Salina, March 11—During chapel this morning, after carefully raising the enthusiasm of the students, all their spare change was abstracted for the sending of the basket-ball team to the state championship series at Lawrence.
TRANCE LASTED AN HOUR
Some, even the faculty, were so impressed or perhaps overcome that they gave more than change.
TRANCE LASTED AN HOUR The results of the seance were mainly $28.98, incidentally a very depressed air around the high school an hour afterwards as the students "came to."
This is the first time the students were ever called upon for a collection after chapel services.

GARNETT STICKS TO THE OLD COMMENCEMENT
Garnett High School, March 13—The seniors received the subjects for their graduation orations today. The Garnett high school has been using the plan of having the students furnish the commencement program for a number of years. There was some talk of having a commencement speaker, but the people of the town would rather hear the students, because lectures by outsiders can be heard any time.
The majority of the seniors, however, would rather have someone else furnish the "show."
EQUAL SUFFRAGE WINS
AT KANSAS CITY HIGH
By Pines Dunn
Kansas City, Kansas, High School, March 13—The greatest debate ever held in the Kansas City, Kansas, high took place last Friday between two factions of the senior history classes under Prof. I. B. Morgan. For many weeks there has been a growing sentiment in the school over the question of equal suffrage. Starting with the senior classes, the question received so much attention that at the final moment the whole school was involved.
During the debate which was decided for equal suffrage, a little woman walked into the hall. She was unnoticed until she began to applaud the heroic defense of the Equal Suffragists. At the close of the debate she asked for an opportunity to address the audience. She was Mrs. J.B. Wallace, the state suffrage speaker. Coming at the time she did, she was much applauded for her speech and her stand for women.
SOLDIERS SHOVEL SNOW
FROM HIGH SCHOOL ROOF
By Walter Hill
Leavenworth High School, March 13-For the first time in many seasons the Leavenworth high school cadet company did some real work. When the company assembled for drill this morning Prof. Carrothers asked for volunteers to shovel the snow from the roof of the school building. The snow had banked high on the roof and the water had leaked into the assembly hall.
The boys went home and changed their uniforms for old clothes and returned to school armed with shovels of every description. They mounted to the roof and in about an hour and a half the roof was clear of snow.

CURATOR CURATES THE PHYSICS CLOCK
Long Expected Information Regarding Chronological Aberrations on Mt. Oread
To the Daily Kansan:
In response to your valued favor of recent date, requesting in a spirit of civic helpfulness that the idiocycrises of the Physics Clock be investigated, I have the honor to report the following:
First. The contention of the Entomology department that the chronological aberrations of the P. C. are due to pigeons roosting on the hands is untenable. Careful computations made during minute (get it? minute) experimentations show that, when a pigeon or two bill and coo on the hour hand when, say, the P. C. points to three p. m., the action of the time-piece is accelerated. However, it has been found that this variability is met by other pigeons roosting on the hour hand, at say, nine o'clock, thus retarding the flow of time.
So much for the hour hand. Figures tabulated on the minute hand show on the one hand a distinct gradation of time lost while on the other hand it is made up, who goes to show that the moral obloquy of the P. C. is deeply felt—otherwise why its two hands continually before its face?
Therefore this office finds, First:
That the Entomology department evidently had in mind, First: A cuckoo clock.
Trusting that this carries the meaning which we intend, and assuring you we shall be glad to cooperate with you in every way toward the conservation of time.
I am, Sir, Yours in the works,
Cussedodian of the Physics Clock.

This statement does not come from the registrar, O, no indeed, but from Prof. W. H. Twenhofel, of the geology department. A considerable part of the collection has been added within the last year. One of the most interesting collections cones from the Aleutian Islands, which are north-west of Alaska. They were sent by Alex Wetmore, a former student of the University.
But They're the Very O. F. Stone Kind, And Are Not Enrolled
"Twenty-five hundred fossils at the University."
Professor Twenhofel himself made several collecting trips last summer which resulted in some valuable additions being made to the geology museum.
Another good collection was sent from Dallas, Texas, by I. C. Eyerly '10.

Answer: When He Is a Cardinal, the Feathered Cowboy of the Campus
Who has not admired the Cardinal?
That dashing cow-boy of a bird that wakes us, too early in the morning with his reckless, rollicking whistle.
FOR RENT—Good room for man
student. Apply 1536 Tennessee.
His brilliant cardinal coat, flashing against a white bank of snow crossed with bright blue shadows, is a winter picture, long to be remembered. After he has attracted attention to himself by his vigorous whistling, he breaks out into a swinging round-lay just to show his good will toward the universe.
For Rent.
A little later in the spring, we will hear his love song to his mate, and her coquettish answering whistle. In early June, with the opening of the first roses, somewhere among the rose vines of your neighbor's porch, or in some secluded tangle in North Hollow, they will build their dainty nest.
Then will Mr.Cardinal,except when he is sitting on the nest,unrestrained give voice to his happiness,while very sweetly from the nest does Mrs. Cardinal softly echo his sentiments. The moment she begins singing, a choral chorus of very charming choruses are rendered by these domestic songsters.
Perhaps he is aware that her soft grey-greenish frock with its suggestion of red, blends completely with the color of the rose leaves, and ever her hand, she wears a pink band. She dares what very few birds venture to do, she sings on the nest.
100 frequently, the Cardinal is called a "red-hird," but this name does not distinguish him from the tanagers and certain red inches. Most people he goes to the triplet nemes of Cardinals Cardinalis. A, P. B.
Prof. W. E. Higgins has returned from Pittsburg, Kansas, where he delivered an address Monday afternoon before the district convention of United Mine Workers. Three hundred delegates from eastern Kansas and three counties of Missoure were present. The purpose of the address was to explain the Workman's Compensation Act which went into effect January 1, 1912.
Professor Higgins has been invited to talk on this subject in the near future at several places in the mining districts of Kansas and Missouri. The first of these ad dresses will be delivered before a mass meeting of mine workers at Mulberry, Kansas.

COOLEYS THROW DOWN
THE GAGE OF BATTLE
The Cooley club composed of laws, has issued a challenge to the K. U. Debating Society inviting them to an intellectual encounter, which prompts him to argue that the proposed snow-ball fight between the engineers and the laws.
Hugh Adair, president of the Cooley Club, has appointed Roy Davis and Clifford Sullivan to confer with the Debating Society and arrange for the question and time of debate.
In anticipation of the coming event, the Cooley Club has increased its membership by electing Lawrence Meissner, Webster Kimbal, Frank Sterns, and Kenneth Simmons to aid them in defeating the much-dreared debaters.
