They stood beside the meadow bars Beneath the twilight sky;
Above them evening's stars,
Like diamonds shone on high.
They stood knee deep in clover,
But whispered not of vows,
As silently they lingered there,
Two peaceful Jersey cows. -Ex
The faculty of the University of Texas has granted exemptions from final examinations to all seniors who have above 70 in regular class work.
A Minnesota co-ed broke a bottle of wine over the prow of the new battleship Minnesota at Norfolk last week. Some of these days that honor will come to a Kansas girl.
These are the days when "Tessie" and her lover are making a careful study of the landscape of Oread during the chapel hour. They settle the location of the new Gym. every day, are an authority on where violets are to be found, have surveyed the new law building from every quarter imaginable, and are conversant with a thousand other things that only the rapt soul knows.

On Friday night at Columbia, Missouri and in our own chapel representatives of Kansas will debate teams of the Universities of Missouri and of Iowa. The boys have trained faithfully and long and will do their part. In the debate in our chapel the students should do their part by coming to the debate and making the Rock Chalk ring through the halls. This is the first time we have ever met Iowa in debate and we hope to impress them as forcibly with our spirit as with our logic.
--cure quarters for two or three hundred men on a few days' notice, but if this number is distributed among the various eating clubs of the students, it can be handled with ease.
The people who have the coming high school meet on the 29th of April in charge, would like to have the various county clubs look after the entertainment of the representatives from their home counties in as far as that is possible. It is difficult to secure quarters for two or three hundred men on a few days' notice, but if this number is distributed among the various eating clubs of the students, it can be handled with ease.
ENGINEERING CLASS OF '05.
The Seniors are Working on Practica Subjects.
Each senior engineer has to prepare a thesis on some practical subject of which he has first hand knowledge. The subjects this year are of more than ordinary interest and are being handled with exceptional skill.
Chester Cook, T. E. Linton and N. P. Sherwood have nearly completed the plans for an electric railway in Lawrence. Their modern ideas are quite an im provement over the primitive horse cars that once rattled along Massachusetts street.
Richard Meath is making and recording some interesting experiments on the fatigue of cement and has invented some supplementary attachments to the compressing machine in the shops, that add greatly to its utility.
A. R. Young has drawn the plans and specifications and estimated the cost of brick pavements for Chanute, Kans. The town is about to do extensive paving and Mr. Young hopes to have his scheme adopted, in which case he will realize a large profit for his trouble.
E. B. Black and Roland E. Porter are experimenting with a sewerage purification plant.
Possibly the most remarkable and extensive thesis under preparation is that of Roy Filkin and Joe O'Neil. They have undertaken the construction of plans for a complete sewerage system, and purification plant for Rosedale, Kansas. The subject has required a great amount of surveying and figuring. Their purification system is thoroughly scientific, consisting of numerous

NOTICE--I want one or two active men, who can get business by telling the truth, to sell life insurance for me in this and adjoining counties. Full commission allowed, and the right man can make good money, as the Northwestern is the easiest company on earth to get business for. J.R. GRIGGS, District Agent. 702 Massachusetts St.
G. Maxwell and B. D. Hull are working on induction motor testis and a transmission dynometer.
Dean Marvin expressed himself as being very much pleased with the work of this year's class. He also said that the experiments of students in college were often of great practical value and the results obtained establish new theories for the instructors to work on.
DR. HOLMES ADDRESSES Y. W. C. A.
septic tanks and contact beds. The electrical engineers are not at all backward in their department. R. C. Barton, William Quirine and Chas. Morrow have examined the entire system the entire system of the Kansas City and Leavenworth Electric Line and have determined to a great extent the reasons why the road has not been a success.
Stop at Zuttermeister's for pure Ice Cream and Ices.
The Y W, C. A. held its weekly meeting on Monday this week instead of Wednesday, in order to secure Dr. Holmes as the speaker There was no special music. Dr. Holmes spoke on, 'Why We Believe what We Believe." going into the subject very deeply, in a scientific manner, and laying down his reasoning and conclusions as dogmatic rules. He spoke also of the matters suggested by the season, saving that those people without a belief in the divinity of Christ and the material resurrection of his body had no hold on immortality Miss Kate Hansen will lead the next meeting.
Courteous treatment to all at the New Eldridge House Barber Shop. Only first-class workmen employed F. M. Tibgow.
Idesire to sell my interest in the Oread Cafe as I expect to leave Lawrence. Cheap...Billy Reynolds.
