We wonder if the getting closer to nature stunt that Kemp and Waters will pull off on the banks of the Kaw this summer will subdue the fiery spirit of those redeyed Anarchists. If Waters has to supply the food for the two of them with his muzzle loader he will not have much time to philosophise. His roaming imagination will not bring down much game.
Halley's comet is to appear in May. Our only wish is that if it is to destroy the earth and all thereon that it will put the event off till after next Thanksgiving. All of us could then await our fate with a calmer resignation.
Ceramies is progressing. You will all be glad to receive this fortunate little item about an old friend.
Norman Hackett Is Guest of Professor Gray.
WERE CLASSMATES.
Norman Hackett, who will play the leading role in "Classmates" here tonight, was a classmate of Prof. Charles Gray in the University of Michigan. They were also members of the same fraternity, Theta Delta Chi. Norman Hackett spoke in chapel last year on "The Home and Haunts of Shakespeare." Mr. Hackett will be the guest of Prof. Gray while he is in Lawrence.
Is Making a Violin.
Wyman R. Greene, a senior in the College, who has been taking special work in zoology, is using his spare minutes in working on a violin which he is making entirely by hand. The upper sounding board is of pine and the lower of maple. He designed his own model and will do all the ornamental and polishing work.Mr. Green also makes sillhouettes which are displayed at Lee's. He is employed by the department of zoology to assist with the palentological specimens.
Brisbane and Big Type.
Arthur Brisbane told the K. U. School of Journalists that he was proud of being a "yellow journalist" and that it was the only kind to be. Now is the time for the gentlemanly type salesmen to visit the Kansas newspaper offices showing the late styles of large wood type,-the equine kind.- Iola Register.

KICK COLUMN.
To Sir Light Finger, who one day last week,
But red-hot hats you'll wear through purgatory.
I say this much at least; you now may glory,
From Fraser took my hat and made a sneak.
On Losing a Derby.
That battered katy left me in mine's stead.
Covers my collar, let alone my head.
Ye Gods! I heard a dozen fellows call.
"Vat pays you for old clodings, Leaventhal?"
Rather would I a hatless Harry be,
Than wear that mouldy ruin left to me.
Wretch! Would that I had power to make you go
Straw-hatted through eternal months of snow.
S'blood; revenge I will this trick most scurvy,
Till then adieu.
Yours,
Antiquated Derby.
most scurvy
fill then adieu.
Editor Kansan:
I would suggest that the Student council divide the $30 which the cheer leader turned over to them, among themselves so that they might get down to work and really do some good.
WILL GIVE PARTIES.
A CONTRIBUTOR.
Freshmen Are to Entertain— Dates Later.
Will Erwin, chairman of the social committee of the freshmen class, announced today that the freshmen will give, the same as the other classes, two or three parties this spring. As yet no dates have been set but arrangements will be made in ample time to make the parties a success.
The freshmen have given but one party this year and were fortunate in losing no money on it. Each of the classes which are now in debt from their parties, lost money their first year and have never made up the loss.
Rochester Delegates Report.
A report of the delegates to the Rochester Student Volunteer Convention was the program for the Thursday evening meeting of the Y. M. C. A. The time was too short for all to report but Howard Curl spoke of the opportunity which was presented for medical missionary work, and Walter Mayer spoke of the inspiration given for personal evangelistic efforts. Leo Bozell sang a solo.
Eugene C. Pulliam of the Aitchison Champion was in Lawrence last week to hear Arthur Brisbane talk. Mr. Puliam was one of the founders of the Sigma Delta Chi, the journalistic fraternity lately organized in the University.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity have pledged Mr. Adrian Morgan, a freshman engineer from Leavenworth and Earl Gregory, a freshman Law from Guthrie Oklahoma.
Sam Roberts, of the medical school at Rosedale, was in Lawrence Thursday night, visiting friends.
Nola Ayres '08 of Horton is visiting at the Kapna house.
Fire Escape for Chapel.
The Board of Regents at its meeting last Wednesday ordered that an iron stair fire escape should be put in at once for the chapel room and gallery of Fraser Hall.

Coburn, who will make an address on "Some Opinions of an Optimist," and Ex-Pension Commissioner Eugene F. Ware, and Ewing Herbert, editor of the Brown County World.
Formerly of Kansas men now living in Chicago and several of whom are prominent in railroad circles will attend the banquet and help to make it a success.
HAT HUNG HIGH.
Pessimist Rebukes .College Men for Child's Play.
"That there is a crowd of vandals in the College is now evident. Yesterday a crowd of young gentlemen were gathered about the south bulletin board in Fraser hall, laughing boisterously. A man's brown stiff hat was nailed high up on the board bearing the sign, "Found—A Derby." Of course the hat had been found, but the owner probably knew where he had left it. Well, this was only a joke, and who cares for a derby hat when there is fun to be had at its expense?"
The author of the above effusion is unknown to the Kansan, but the hat,it might be explained belonged to the editor.
Series of Medical Lectures.
Tonight the first of a series of medical lectures will be given by Dr. E. J. Blair of Lawrence, at the Christian church. The Douglas County Medical association has been asked by the ministers ofLawrence to bring hygienic and other important subjects of a medical nature before the attention of the people in this manner. Dr. Blair's subject will be "The Mind and Body." Drs. Schorer and Chambers will add to the discussion of the paper.
Eligibility Has Been Determined
It was decided at a meeting of the program committee of the junior class just who will be eligible to the Prom: first, all seniors; second, all juniors, outsiders and underclassmen accompanied by a junior or a senior, middle laws, sophomore medies and 2-year pharmacies. The committee also decided that all dates must be in by March 1 and the sooner the better. The date of the Prom is April 29.
The agitation for the honor system was taken up last week by the K. K. club and made an issue for the next semester. The sophomore reporting class is discussing it from the view point of the editorial writer, and Professor Davis' oral discourse classes are working up ten-minute speeches on the question.
A new bulletin was put up this morning in Fraser hall at the south side of the public door of the Registrar's office. There the names and classifications of the students as they will appear in the catalogue will be posted for the students to inspect and if necessary, hand in corrections.
