A FLUNKER TO HIS "PONY."
The race is almost over I have tried to ride you well To the stretch we've come a spin
And I hope the pace won't tell.
In the homestretch, on the morrow
Old friend, we cannot lag,
Lest the wide awake professor
Gives us the distant flag.
We have got to finish, "pony",
Finish with a spurt that's game
Up among the heavy favorites,
Or my finish will be plain,
So here's hoping that the rider
And his gallant thoroughbred
Will not excite suspicion
If they win out by a head.
-Maroon.
A worthy junior of the college said he enjoyed the grand opera at Kansas City all right, but he believes he would have liked a three ring circus better.
A recent addition to the library is a treatise "How to Play Chopin." "What sort of a game is tnat, any way?" asked a student of the librarian, as he regarded the new volume knowingly.
NEW YORK CITY.
The chickens are coming home to roost: down at Missouri last week a professor told one of his classes to cut tomorrow as he had an engagement at that hour —only one member of the class was absent.
A bill is before the legislature of Minnesota, at present to aboiah all fraternities in the high schools of that state and to permit men to join fraternities at the State University only after a year's residence there.
The Freshman and Sophomore classes of the University of California, instead of having the annual class scrap on the first of April joined forces and built a giant C. of colored stone on a hill overlooking the campus.
Instead of leaving a bare spot on the campus where the grass had been tramped out, these classes left a memorial of their class contest that will last for ages.
They tell a good Grand Opera story on a professor of the Mathmetics department. He was so enraptured by the music that he forgot his headgear until he was out of Convention Hall and half way down the street when he "came to" with a jerk.
There are always a few people in the University who take advantage of a vacation to go home a day before work closes and to come back a day late. The only excuse they offer is "well, papa was expecting me on this train" or "there won't be anything doin' anyway." They seem to regard themselves as priveleged in this respect and that the professor will be duty bound to go over again what they missed.
This is the season of the year when you want a change in the Menu. Wiedemann has a fine assortment of Sundaes, with fruits and nuts. Try them.
Of late, there has been a little too promiscuous "cutting" of classes in the University. There are occasions and circumstances, that justify a class in giving a professor a room of empty seats to lecture to, but those occasions are rare.
Certainly, the "cuts" which have occurred lately, have no extenuating circumstances. They were simply the attempt of half a dozen people to avoid a class for which they were not prepared. The classes were not in favor of the "cuts" and if the proposition had been voted upon it would have been defeated by a large majority. Students should remember that this is a University, not a high school.

Nine graduate-teaching fellowships, yielding $125 each, are offered by the University of Kansas for the year '05 and '06, in the following named departments: German, Romance Languages, English Language, Education, Mathematics, Chemistry, American History, and Sociology and Economics. Fellows are required to devote not more than seven hours per week to some service in connection with the University, and are supposed to give their time primarily to the work of one department.
FELLOWSHIPS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
The attention of graduates of other colleges, in Kansas especially, is called to these fellowships The University of Kansas desires to come into closer touch with the other institutions of the state, and to offer such supplementary work and facilities as the state may have provided. Attention is therefore called to the large and well equipped libraries and laboratories of the university and the large number of teachers offering work, all of which makes possible great differentiation of courses, and specialization in any desired line of work.
A graduate of any college of good standing may become a candidate for a fellowship. Application blanks will be sent on request. Applications should be on file in the Chancellor's office net later than May 15, '05.

Professor W. H. Carruth has just received a letter from Paul Herpse, the noted German author, granting him permission to publish "Die Blinden," a charming little story of German life. Professor Carruth has been working on the classic for some time, editing and annotating, and it is now ready for the press. The Cotte Publishing Co., Mr. Heyse's German publishers, granted ready permission to have the book printed in the United States.
