KODAK SHOTS
"Good morning, have you used Pearls soap?" exclaimed the professor to the young man as he woke up at the end of the lecture.
It required an hour's work in the laboratory the other morning to take a nitrate of silver stain from the wrist of a young lady who had been initiated into a fraternity the night before.
The annual "barb" dance promises to become u semi-annual or even a semi weekly affair in the future
It must be said in explanation of the quality of our items that the "Kodak" editor was "Shot" this week. According to the sophomore logicians a half column would signify that the editor was "half-shot;" such are the devilows ways of the syllogism.
A quantity of commercial beer was given the chemistry department to test for impurities. The professor had explained a few days before that the best proof of a chemist's experience is his ability to detect elements and compounds by taste. This method was employed by those in charge and explains the report returned: "Not enough of the original solution to make a satisfactory test."
The point of order, that the speakers are not confining themselves to the question for debate, should be overruled for the entire evening by Adelphic. Friday night. The speakers could not well get off the subject, as there are no less than five questions involved in it.
It will be of interest to German students to know that, according to the visitors' register, Minna Von Barnhelm was on the hill February 11th, and Nathan der Weise made a short call the afternoon of the 23rd. Although he has not registered, it is well known that Mephestipheles has been around the hallways for several days.
There are some Kansas students, in academies which aspire to be called universities, who part their names in the middle. More than this, several expect to enter the University next fall. The University prides itself on having no names in which the front letter is used as a sort of cow-catcher, or which trail a freight train of cheap degrees after them. These bachelors of "letters," furthermore, are obsolete. If we must suffer from the name—contortionist, let us have some hyphenated Smythe-Browns, or—but we won't suggest any more. Wait for announcements from the senior class.
"How-ah-u, Hawaii!" exclaimed an ex-University boy who had entered the journalistic field in Kansas. "Very well, thank you," was the dignified re buke of a native editor of the Sandwich Islands. It must be said in justification of the English department of the University, the society of Lawrence, and of Kansas, that the alumnus mentioned above, acquired his affected pronunciation while sojourning in New England; it would not be tolerated by the faculty. The doors of the University are still open to honest young men desiring an education. Exchanges please copy.
College widow to sophomore on being introduced: The name again, please? Sophomore: Smith, James Smith.
Sophomore: Smith, James Smith.
C. W.: Smith! Oh, yes, I've often heard of that man Smith and I've often seen you, but I never could bring the two together.
Soph: Ah-I didn't quite get your name please?
C. W.: Harris.
Soph. Oh! is that so? I have often heard of that man Harris and I've often seen you, but somehow, I never could bring the two together.
Persons in the vicinity of the University on the afternoons when the Freshmen chemistry class has laboratory practice might easily be led to believe that a bombardment is taking place in the chemistry building, so frequent are the explosions.

Phi Beta Kappa.
A mistake was made last week in saying that special attention is paid to grades in English when Phi Beta Kappa appointments are made. Grades in mathematics, chemistry or any other department of study are just as important as those in English. Again, appointments do not depend upon scholarship alone. Although students having low grades are not appointed, the students having the highest grades are not necessarily the ones chosen.
The Blake Prizes
Owing to the lack of interest in the matter, and the small number of those eligible as competitors, it is judged advisable by the Department of English to postpone the contest for the prizes, so kindly offered by Professor Blake until the present optional system of chapel rhetoricals has been in force for at least one term.
The sole object for which the prizes were offered by Professor Blake was to increase the interest in public speaking, and to induce a greater number of students to give careful attention to it. This object has so evidently not been attained that it seems unjust to him and even unwise to carry out the plan as originally announced. The Department of English has therefore deceded to defer all action with regard to it for the present, trusting that at an early day a special instructor in oratory may be secured, and that with special instruction and under the optional system, sufficient interest may be taken in the subject by the student body to justify the department in accepting the very liberal proposition of Professor Blake.
