THE OREAD youth who makes the greatest success socially, is very apt to make a superb fizzle intellectually.
Vacation took most of our athletes out of town. Those who remained devoted part of their time to base ball practice.
HONOR was done the university in the selection of Prof. A. S. Olin, Superintendent of the Kansas City, Kan., schools, as a member of the new state board of education.
THE BAKER students have arisen in their righteous anger and laid out a new base ball ground. The old one has been ploughed to prevent the unseemly progress of athletics in that most saintly institution.
THE STUDENT politician is at present closely watching for the assessor. The right of suffrage costs about two days' labor on the city streets, or three dollars in legal tender. The street commissioner has recently had a lot of blank summons printed, and in all probability the student voters will be called out two or three at a time or requested to labor in different parts of the city. The different members of the faculty who have to work on the boulevard will probably occupy the important offices of supervision. It is rumored that the professors of the departments which received appropriations last winter will pay their poll tax in very good cash.
It would appear from the number of organizations at the North school that have sprung into existence this winter that the Laws have a regular organization fever; Junior Supreme Court, Senior District Court, Moot Court, Kent Club, two military organizations and a Shakespeare Club. Not only do the majority of the law students belong to these various societies, but an active movement is on foot to start a new one,—The Society of the Cherokee Strip Boomers. Of all these, the most patriotic and well known belong of course to the military branch of the law department. The valor of their bosoms is great indeed and the memory of the great Topeka conflict and the part they took on one side or the other will ever be cherished by Junior and Senior alike. Probably the class of '93 will adopt some kind of a G.A.R. association before they leave school for good. Certainly it would be most appropriate.
