DORM FUND SWELLS AS SPRING ADVANGES
Circus Maximus, Kirmess And Nickles Makes Figure Pass $6000 Mark.
The condition of the youngest K. U. ward, the Dormitory fund, is reported as rapidly improving with the warm spring weather, and steadily growing. It will in all probability pass the $6,000 mark within the next three weeks.
The last estimate given out by the secretary was $5,500, but this did not include the returns from the indoor circus which totaled about $250. The proceeds of the Kirmess, which the chairman of the committee estimates at over $200 will also go to this fund. Another fund of over $200 is to come from the event for Mrs. Patee, and Mr. Arthur Marks, who have offered to give the proceeds of one night's show to the fund.
"Although we regret very much that Mr. Carnegie made such a mistake as to forget to send the $75,000 check as was announced April 1," said Miss艾丽丝·普瑞恩, growing prospects for a dormitory are growing bigger every day."
SHAKSPERE SLANGY?
PERISH THE THOUGHT
| " | SLang phrases are like the winds of yesterday," said a professor who is not necessarily a philologist the other day. "You would be surprised at the great numbers of slang words and phrases that have been consigned to oblivion after many years." Once they have passed they are dead, and it takes an effort to recall them.
"Do you know what we called a particularly striking sort of young woman a few years ago? It will be hard to recall the exact term. I suppose that expressions of this kind would run into thousands in numbers if ever they were collected in one book. Three hundred dollars each dame." Today we frown on the word 'class' as expressing distinction. We say 'she's a bear.'
"Twenty-five years ago people had their slang just as they did it when Shakespeare lived. I was reading through some old papers the other day and I found many expressions in the funny column and in the advertisements. It was customary to speak of the young woman as 'utterly out' and "simply would hardly please" that character would hardly be regarded ingenious.
"Wouldn't it be jolly to know just what Shakespeare called the dark lady of the sonnets in collouqial languages?"
WHICH IS STRONGER?
Professor Rogers Trying to Find
What Types of Imagery
Predominate
Do you think with your eyes, your cars or your nose? In other words, what is the kind and degree of light that you by a word, a sound or an objection?
Prof. D. C. Rodgers is conducting a series of experiments on his psychology students this week, which explains the development of sensory images in different individuals. To perform the experiment, words or phrases are given which suggest visual, auditory, kinesthetic, touch, temperature, taste and smell images. Following each the student is asked to identify calls into his mind. A summary of these results will show the kind of images peculiar to each individual mind.
Some have only visual images, others auditory, while one student proved that he thought in olfactory images by answering, "onions," to the suggestion of garden. In some the degree of sensation produced by such sensations is almost as complete as if the actual sensation occurred.
This system of tests is the same as that advocated by psychologists as a test on criminals, on the theory that the person experimented on will write words connected with some past experience.

GYPSY BIRD BANDS ARE BREAKING UP
W. H. Carothers, Coach
As Warmer Days Approach Many Migrants Prepare to Go North
to Go North
Soon will the merry company of chickadees, sparrows and juncos that have spent the cold days of winter together in jolly c-mradeads, break up their strolling gypsy bands. Most of the chickadees and some of the sparrows will remain here to nest, but not so the juncs. Our touch of warm weather has given them the spring fever. They are longing for the cold and snowy north, where the climate will match their color of dress, which has been aptly described, as "Leaden skies." This mountainous residence enables them to wear their winter suits for spring without their northern neighbors knowing of their economy.
Several species of juno visit Kansas. Their spring song is rarely heard this far south. It is described by those who have heard it as "a crisp, call note a simple trill, and a faint whispered warble, usually much broken, but not without sweetness."

Disease
State Does Much to Lessen Prevalence of this Dread
As a result of the persistent fight which Kansas has made against typhoid fever, cases of this dreaded and often fatal disease are yearly becoming less numerous.
"Typhoid fever is gradually losing its hold on the residents of Kansas," said Prof. W. C. Hoad, of the University, "and this is due largely to the better sanitary conditions which the state requires." Most causes of typhoid at the present time are traced back to impure milk, private wells, or personal negligence.
FACULTY BRING HOME MEASLES FOR ALL
Sanitary conditions in the state have been improved by the operation of the state water and sewage law which has been in force for the last five years.
The campaign against the "harmless" house fly, and the part taken by many of the newspapers of the state on the disease, aided much in suppressing the disease.
state water and sewage law which has been in force for the last five years. This law regulates the water supply of cities and the disposal of sewage from towns, does not apply to the smaller towns, that typhoid is causing the most trouble. Many of these towns do not have public water systems and consequently do not fall under the provisions of the state law. However, the state is making an effort to improve the water supply and the general
Presidential primaries for Kansas are not needed according to the Cooley Club vote Friday afternoon. The question called forth a lively discussion and the vote of the Senators was nine to nine. The new president proved to be a standpatter for he cast the deciding vote against it.
As is the custom, both the retiring president, Hugh Adair, and the new president, Francis Schnacke, made short speeches.

STUDENTS!
If you are planning to stay for but one Summer Session during your course, this is the year to stay, because the summer vacation is one week longer than usual. After the six-weeks' session nine full weeks of vacation remain, after the three-weeks' session six weeks remain.
It is much better to stay for a Summer Session than to crowd your work in the regular sessions.
