WE WERE a little too hilarious at the ball game—yelled "Rock Chalk" a little too much and consequently we haven't the voice to say much. The boys have started the ball right merrily; let them keep it as merrily going and "roll up a good round majority for K. U.," as the politicians say. If they will keep steadily at their practice, there is excellent prospect for a second "Never Defeated."
A PRACTICAL question for some student in sociology:—Why have so few tramps stopped
in Lawrence since the city began the work of paving Winthrop street? Are these two facts in any way related as cause and effect? The city marshal and engineer in charge of the work could probably give some information on this point which would be of value to one studying the problem of the unemployed.

In a remarkably short time it has organized and closed contracts for one of the best courses ever given here, and we have already enjoyed the first entertainment, by Musin. And having made sure of the regular course, the bureau is going ahead to show what it can do in the way of special attractions, starting out with Fred Funston's lecture on Alaska. Fred Funston dug out of the snow and ice of that frozen country some very interesting experiences which
