KODAK SHOTS-
At the last moment before going to press, we learned that the six modest members of the senior class intend to avoid appearing on the platform or in print by "floating" their occasions about the campus. On learning this, we endeavored to kill the article on the literary aspect of the campus, but unfortunately the first form had already gone to press. Our Literary Editor will not again make such an error. As it is, we can only express our sincere regret that the 'article slipped in.'
The following incident is taken from a novel which a University student is writing. The novel will be out about the last of May.
It was a large dry goods emporium with a lot of dummies on the hot pavement in front, staring all day long at the passe-a-by. She had made her purchases, and was looking down and putting her pocket-book in her hand-bag as she hurried out, when—bump! she went into one of those awful dummies.
it tipped and would have fallen had she not instinctively caught it around waist and straightened it up.
"Bey pardon!" exclaimed the dummie. The smile, the blush were quickly over; yet as she hastened on, with the image of those eyes, and of that black mustache imprinted on her memory, she felt that he loved her.
A post mortem examination of a number of puns, which have appeared lately in this column, was ordered by the editorial board. It was revealed that they were already dead before shot by the kodak editor. It also appears that they died of old age. We are sorry: We still feel certain we could have killed them—Ed.
"But, oh, for the touch of a vanished hand.
And the sound of a voice that is still:"
For the hand was a flush of royal hearts. And the voice said: "Its yours, take the bill."
"You see," said the professor of bacteriology to his class, "there is a strong tendency to look upon almost all bad habits as diseases. Now, when in the progress of science, this idea can be associated with the disease-germ theory, which as you know, supposes a distinct bacillus exists for nearly every disease, there will be a revolution in treatment. Politics will be looked upon in this light; and I believe the time is not far distant when a 'political microbe' will be discovered. The symptoms of the disease are easily apparent, and an epidemic, as in Kansas this year, is fatal. Inoculation against the ravages of the 'political microbe' will be compulsory in the future. I have already succeeded," he added, as he turned the last sheet and straightened his manuscript, "in isolating some peculiar bacilli from the brain substance of a disappointed fusionist, and I may reveal something on the subject later."
"I saw Miss B. going down the street with a corpse the other day," remarked the first girl.
"With a what?" exclaimed the second.
"Mr. Highfighter, the university student," continued the first. "You see, he was calling on me the other day and as usual was talking about himself, when he concluded an account of something by saying, 'Oh yes, I'm a dead game sport—all of our crowd are dead game sports.'
"It's too bad there isn't a law to provide for the burial of corpses," said I. Then he took his hat and suddenly bid me good day."
The April fool can't be compared to the March one who made five society engagements on bright clear days and filled them on five cold, drizzling nights in black, muddy ominous looking hacks. He made hay all right while the sun shone, but it was rather expensive raking it in. An insurance company should be started which will guarantee transportation in case of 'inclement weather, at a reasonable premium.

Changes in Base Ball Rules.
The committee on revision of base ball rules, appointed by the National Base Ball League, has made the following report:
1. No enajement of the infield now in use.
2. Removal of the pitcher from his present position to the center of the infield; abolish the pitcher's box and substitute therefor a boundary plate covering a twelve-inch space to which the pitcher will be confined.
3. Abolition of the flat bat.
4. A fixed definition of a bank ban.
5. A simplification of the rules applying to the duties, powers and responsibilities of umpires.
7. A rule governing official scores which provides that a player who makes a sacrifice hit which advances a base runner shall not be charged with a time at bat.
Pocket knives at Smith's news stand.
As our first annual lecture course is nearly at an end it seems to me a good time for those who have its true interests at heart to suggest means of improving our course for next year. That the Bureau has had some senseless opposition and criticism from a few who are in favor of private "enterprises" at public expense for their personal aggrandizement, no one will deny. That the Bureau has made some mistakes is equally true, and what every loyal student of the University should do is to suggest remedies for the things he thinks can be improved.
COMMUNICATIONS.
The point I have in mind now is the method employed by ticket holders to get reserved seats. The present method not only offers a premium on animal endurance and selfishness, but it makes those qualities absolutely necessary to getting reasonably good seats. The propriety of requiring some such a scrambling and knock-down process to get into an athletic show might not be questioned, but it is hardly suitable for a lecture or concert. Under the present method, anyone who hasn't the physical endurance necessary to stand out in the street from 2 o'clock in the morning until 8, and at the same time holds his place against all comers will have to take what he can get in the way of seats. It seems to me that all holders of course tickets should have an equal chance to get seats during the day reserved for them. This might be accomplished by allowing the holders of tickets to draw for their seats at each entertainment. There may be some objection to this method, but it seems to me that there is less than any other, certainly less than to the present.

Tucker is at work preparing two collections of pictures of the University buildings for the World's Fair exhibit. One will be placed in the Kansas building, the other in the Building of Liberal Arts. The pictures are to be taken on Bromide paper; they will be twelve by twenty inches in size and will be photographs of the exterior of all the University buildings, the interior of the rooms of the different departments, also photographs of the Glee and Banjo clubs foot ball team, base ball nine and a group picture of the faculty.
