Two-thirds of the honor students in the graduating class of the University of Kansas this year are young women. Opponents of co-education, however, point to the fact that not a girl in the University got on the varsity foot-ball team.-Ex,
THE "Students Salute" makes threats in last week's issue against the editors of the "Beacon" and the "Students Journal." The scrap against the State Normal would probably not have been taken up by the students and papers of Kansas University had not the Normal made it a point to go back on her agreement with us in the oratorical election in such a disgusting manner. While we do not think that normals should be repented in the oratorical contests, we would not fight our sister institution were it not that she seems to feel it her duty to fight us continually.
THE Seniors and the Faculty seem to have a little difficulty in getting together. It is to be hoped that this great annual affair will not be given up this year. It is reported that the faculty have decided not to play, but we imagine that the report is groundless and that the faculty will be prepared to do battle at the proper time.

The fraternity side of the question was ably set forth by Mr. Harrington and Mr. Bowen at the "mock trial" of Mr. Troxel. The defendant being represented by Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Everett, Mr. Myers and Mr. Morrison. The two-thirds vote of the active members necessary to expell Mr. Troxel not being forthcoming the in-active members in the city were invited in to take a hand in the festivities. The war dance was danced at 12 o'clock and Mr. Troxel the old "war horse of the Sigma Nus" was a thing of the past. Mr. Troxel was congratulated on all siees,
