TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELEBRITIES
"I first saw the University of Kansas," said Chancellor Frank Strong, "in 1887. I was practicing law in Kansas City at the time, and came down to Lawrence to visit an old class mate of mine. He wished to show me the town, and while walking south on Massachusetts St., he pointed out Mount Oread. What impressed me most was the absolute barrenness of the slope, no trees and few houses—Fraser Hall was the only building to be seen since the old Medic building is directly behind it.
"I became connected with the University first in 1902, and since than it has been the only real hobby in which I indulge.
"Am I partial to boys or girls?" a rather difficult question for a man who has one of each. But—well, I believe I am a trifle inclined to favor the girls."
"My vocation I should call being Chancellor of the University, and my avocation music. Pie? Oh yes, I like pie. I prefer apple."

MANY OLD MAIDS FROM
WISCONSIN U.? NEVEI
(By Nell Martindale)

Madison, Wis., April 25—That its feminine graduates seldom become old maids, is a statement issued by the University of Wisconsin today in the new alumni directory. Just 663 of the 1037 women who graduated from Wisconsin between 1867 and 1911 have married. Most of the unmarried are recent graduates who will mate later.
The figures show that 43 per cent of the women graduates have married alumni of the university.

"On your marks, get set, go!" At one-thirty tomorrow afternoon the annual inter-class track meet will open on McCook field with over two hundred entries. The afternoons of this last week have been given over by Coach Hamilton to training the men who are entered for tomorrow in the different events and the pointers that have been given out have greatly increased the efficiency of all the men.
The meet will probably be one of the largest of its kind ever staged on the University track and field and the classes are coming out in full support of their representatives. All the events of a regular dual meet will be run off and Coach Hamilton expects to get a line on some good material in the classes for the Varsity team next year.
Probably the two mile event will be the most interesting in the whole afternoon. Murray, the Varsity runner, will be pitted against Edwards, a freshman, who has been showing up in especially good form since the opening of the training season. In the pole vault, Hurst, a freshman engineer, is counted on for clearing the bar at over 11 feet, with the other of his team having one. The other events will be equally interesting and the spectators are promised one of the fastest meets ever stared.
Nell Martindale, secretary of the senior class, has appointed the following committee: Invitationes; Jennie Richardson, Gertude Figley, Lucile Kellerman; entertainment, Hannah Mitchell, Audrey Harsberger; refreshments, Dena Ellis, Nell Dalton, Glendale Griffins; decorations, Gale Gossel, Lucie March.

A cup will be awarded to the man breaking a University record while medals will be given for the first three places. The Central high school of Kansas City will hold a dual meet with the Lawrence high school during the running off of the University events. The dope for this meet is hard to figure out as both schools have crack teams and the results will be close. Admission for both meets will be twenty-five cents.

DEFINED LIFE TO Y. M. C. A.
The senior girls' tea for faculty ladies will be given Thursday afternoon, May 2, at Westminster Hall.
Dr. Spencer urged that we must learn to take time in what we are doing. "The fact that we feel that we haven't time to do things," Dr. Spenced declared, "is one of the greatest of tragedies. It is a mistake to think that opportunity knocks but once, for it returns with every sunrise. My message is one of optimism, courage, and faith. Life is an array of beginnings, that is, a series of new births. The life of Christ was a life of beginnings. Shakespeare preached the doctrine of beginnings."
Senior Girls to Give Tea.
Gladys Clark, Brownie Angle, Marlan Ellis, Bliss Darnell, Arthur Moses, and Russell Clark will spend the week-end in Kansas City.

With the Australian record of turning thousands away from the Town Hall in Sydney and of packing the mammoth Exposition building in Melbourne for eight performances out of eleven, this popular band also has the distinction of having exposed their bare knees to the "cauld blasts" of the coldest country in the world and to the blistering sun heat of India one of the hottest. With their quaint feather bonnets perched on the backs of their heads they have worn goggles to keep the sands of the sea clear of windy eyes, and in their splendid uniforms and with their classic and popular music and thrilling dances have appeared twice before His Majesty King Edward VII by royal command as his favorite musical organization.
It is said that the members of the "Killies" have grown so accustomed at appearing in a half dressed condition in public, that they can run the gamlet of the whole population of any city while on their daily parade through the blinding.
