It is indeed unfortunate that the immense boulder placed on the campus by the Engineers could not have been allowed to remain. It was an innovation at K. U. and added considerable to the looks of the campus. It was quite an undertaking to get such an immense rock up the hill and the short time it was allowed to remain evidently did not repay the Engineers for their work.
Kansas university has met with signal success in every contest this year with her old time rival, Missouri university. On the gridiron, the diamond and the debating platform the result has been the same. It is very gratifying of course to us Jayhawkers to see our school come out ahead but at the same time it should not be encouraging to the Missourians. They have made a commendable effort in every contest and the respect has been particularly close in two of them. They are all the more determind to win next year, and we admire their perseverance. The M. S. U., Independent comments as follows on the result of the Missouri-Kansas debate: "Kansas has once more been successful in lowering Missouri's colors in debate. The defeat was not decisive, however, one of the three judges voting for Missouri. The debate was lost on April 15, but on Marco 16th, when the side that each university should have was determined Kansas will visit Columbia next year and we should prepare to retrieve our honors by administering a signal defeat to her.
"And still they gazed and sull their
wonder grew,
How one small head could carry all
he knew."
The above is very applicable to the all-wise editor of the State Normal Oven, who takes upon himself the responsibility of judging things that he knows no more about than a hog does about Sunday, with due apology to the hog. The Oven man has somehow got a queer idea into his cranial cavity that he knows something about running a newspaper. We can't imagine why he thinks so, but he evidently does. The last issue of the Oven contained the following:
"And now K. U. is posing as a great Christian institution and has got out a "Sheldon edition" of the Weekly with Harry Tangman at the head. He and his staff have made a brave effort but the whole thing reminds one of the time when Mark Twain gave an address to the students of West Point. Mark had never seen a body of men in battle line or heard a cannon shot off, but he told them all about war and its tactics. The K. U. editors are alright but they have nothing in their school to talk about in such a paper."
It seems to us that the Mark Twain story applies very forcibly to the Oven man who is continually giving advice about how to run a paper when he does not know the first principles himself. Almost every week he runs some news items in as editorial and his continual attempts to be "funny" are very tiresome. A few weeks ago he took up three pages of his paper with the constitution of the athletic association of that school which was indeed very interesting. It was so much better, however than the usual stuff that fills the columns of the Oven that he should be encouraged to republish it.
The May pole "scrap" this year was as good natured a class contest as has ever been held here. Several of the participants came out with slight bruises, tar smeared faces, disheveled hair and torn clothes, but that is what they went into the contest for and they were prepared for it. No serious injuries of any kind were sustained. and no ill feelings engendered. It was simply a genuine class contest. It stirred up class spirit more than a dozen mass meeting could have done and class spirit is something that needs cultivation at K U. Of course such a thing would be objectionable if of frequent occurrence but as it only comes once a year, it certainly is a good thing.

SOCIETY.
Last night the last of the fraternity parties was given at Fraser hall by the Theta. Some sixty couples were present, and the coolness of the weather which has prevailed for the past few days added to the pleasure of a very pretty party. The Hall was pretitially decorated with bunting in the black and yellow of the fraternity, while the Theta cat, without which no Theta party is complete, occupied the space above the arch. Mirrors were arranged along the north and south walls with palms and flowers and palms hid the musicians. The punch bowl was surrounded by a perfect bower of lilacs and the cosy corner near the stair-case was decorated with flowers. The guests were received by Mr and Mrs Howe, Miss Rachel Pugh and Mr Carl Warkenine, Miss Cora Moore and Mr. Carol McMath, Miss Maybells Wagstaff and Mr. Roy Henley. The short grand march was led by Mr and Mrs. Walter Howe. The programs were very unique. They were square folders of black cardboard, with a wreath and the letters K A O on the front, while the back had a yellow cat. The inside pages were of yellow paper, and bore the names of the dances. Guests from out of town were Miss Blanche Stasch of Paola, Miss Marjorie Perkins and Mr Maurice Alder of Kansas City, Misses Edith Davis, Charlotte Parkhurst, and Neal S Houch, and Messrs Guilford Dudly and John Harrison of Topsea, Miss Kate Stone of Leavenworth, Miss Kate Rising of Salina and Jack Harris of Ottawa,
The Theta have issued invitations for a reception to be held at the home of Miss Isabelle Hazen's on Saturday afternoon, May 12.

The first regular meeting of the new cabinet will take place Saturday afternoon. The principal business of this meeting is a match game of base ball between the officers and committee chairmen. The place of meeting will not be publicly announced, out of respect for the athletic association, who realize that this game would draw every one from the senior faculty game.
