Charlie Lease says that Miss Hallam has the mumps. Ingalls looks very much "spruce" in a new hat and hair-cut. Clyde Miller's father was elected mayor of Osage City by a good majority. The curbing has been nearly all laid around the library. Now for some grass sod. Miss Effie Loader was detained at her home a few days after vacation by the serious illness of her father. Lute Todd's long suit is "Ruth." Jack Hesson made a trip to Kansas City Saturday to buy cigarettes for the Phi Psis. Gomer Thomas is again at his place, behind the book counter.

McCook Field, Arbor Day. K. S. U. vs. K.C.Blues. Some ambitious student almost succeeded in getting a "Graveyard Tragedy" into the Students Journal, It was a collossal masterpiece of foolishness and was Ok'd by the editor. What next? On the evening of March 25th Will Mason entertained the members of the Sigma Chi and a few friends at a "stag" whist party. Elaborate refreshments were served. After the outstanding debts have been paid there will be a deficit in the treasury of the oratorical association. This is a good argument for its discontinuance. Stanley Christopher, '97, who was compelled to leave the University during the holidays on account of his health has entered again this term very much improved by his long vacation. The sporting element of the University, headed by turfman Jacque Morgan, are trying to arrange for a few horse races to be held on field day The project has been frustrated somewhat by the announcement of the town liverymen that they will not rent horses for racing. The committee will probably get around this by importing some thoroughbreds. On Wednesday night a small party of students were hard at work painting the town green and black. The emblem of the T.N.E. fraternity was painted on the walk in front of the Phi Psi chapter house, the lamp post globe was painted green and black. and large signs were painted on the water tower. It is not known who did it, but Jacque Morgan's shoes had green paint on them Thursday. When questioned about it by a Courier man he observed a dignified silence and shook his head slowly. Prizes for the Spring Events. Foster, Troxel and Logan were appointed to solicit prizes for the different events in the coming meet. The committee spent a couple of days in Kansas City, and as Foster is still out it is safe to presume that there will be a fine lot of rewards hung up. The generous Lawrence and Kansas City merchants have been very liberal in their donations, some of which are of no mean value. Here are a few of them and their doners: Solid Silver Cup, J. C.
