Sleeping
Quiet now,
But if
He wakes
Then a row.
Squeezes,
Sugar,
Osculation,
Loud e--

Snoring ceases,
Warning note,
Next a
Sound from
Papa's throat.
A scream,
A clash,
A mighty smash;
A howl
Of pain,
A homeward dash.

FACULTY RESOLUTION.
The following was passed at the meeting of the faculty Tuesday night:
Resolved, That in the adoption by the faculty at its last meeting of the regulation concerning students' organizations representing, or appearing to represent the University, there was no intention of casting reflection upon the integrity or conduct of the members of the Glee and Banjo club, which was on its annual tour at that time. The action was one of general rather than special legislation.
A TRUE STORY.
Perhaps it was last year, perhaps several years ago; that matters not. Perhaps the heroes of this story are University people, or at least were; yet that matters not, this is true.
One beautiful summer evening a boat might have been seen floating down the Kansas river near Cameron's bluff. In it were two occupants, a lady and gentleman. The conversation had lagged for some minutes, then with a sigh that broke the silence, the young man remarked: I am tired and weary of this world. Its frivolity and bubbling pleasures have no more interest for me. Really, remarked his fair companion, are you conscious of the statements you are making. Conscious? Yes, I have been thinking. I have— Down the river floated the skift. The rippling of the waters, as it struck the motionless oars, alone broke the silence. The moon rose higher and higher. Silence reigned supreme.
Again the appealing and
husky voice of the stronger sex is heard. He speaks in figurative language; but this is what he said: Miss — there is upon the stormy ocean, floating, floating, floating from each other, two boats, each with a single occupant. Further and further they drift apart. You alone have the power to bring them together. Say the word, and in the near future—Silence again reigns. The word was not spoken. They reached Dolly's, and he escorted her home. The heroine of this fable is now a "college widow." Whether she will command that the two boats be brought near together, should fortune smile upon her again, is to be seen. Perhaps she has missed the chance of her life.
UNIVERSITY DRAMATICS.
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIAEION
WILL PRODUCE TWELFTH
NIGHT, MARCH 10 AND 11.
On Friday and Saturday, March 10 and 11, the Athletic Association will present at the Opera House, Shakespeare's great comedy 'Twelfth Night,' or "What You Will." This announcement will be hailed with delight by all University people who remembers the association's charming and artistic presentation of "A Mid Summer Night's Dream" in 1891. It is intended that this shall be the social, literary and dramatic event of the school year, and a number of the classes and fraternities are already arranging to give box parties on one of the nights. The cast will be one of the strongest, including all the well known Lawrence and University actors, and the entire production will be under the management of Miss Brown. New scenery is being painted by Rohe, and the costumes will be rich and accurate.
The association desires to clear $500, to be expended on boating, tennis courts, base ball, running track, etc.
UNFORTUNATE.
The committee of the oratorical association claim that the 27th of January has been the regular time of holding the contest for several years. Steps have been taken to postpone either the concert or the contest. As yet no agreement has been reached. So it may be that on next Friday evening the students will have their choice of two University attractions—concert and contest.
It is a very unfortunate state of affairs that the Glee club concert and oratorical contest come upon the same night. Manager Rush says that he had decided on this date some time during the middle of November, and had his printing done with this date upon the posters. He also hired the Opera House.
