On How Easy It Is to Scoop the Owl . . . Rubber Tubes for Phi Beta Kappas . . the Beta's Have a Birthday.
NUMBER 116
Since the Sour Owl will unfortunately put in its appearance tomorrow we thought it best to beat妙 magazine of patrudit humor to a story. At the Acacia house there is one lad by the name of Randalls who was very desirous of seeing his name in the Owl. He approached one student and asked him that the Owl came to hear what student did he. He asked friend Randalls if he was looking forward to seeing his name in print and the answer was strong on the yea. When asked if he had put a pin out or something the answer was once more on the yea with force and in fact, he added, "I put my pin on a Kappa at Manhattan, please be sure to get it in that she was a Kappa from Manhattan will you?" Could it be even remotely possible that he was afraid some of the readers knew her connected with the local chapter? he answered that his closing remark was something to the effect that he thought it pretty swell to get your name in the Owl. We think he's mistaken but think how we've helped—now he's got it in two places.
Here's a homely little bit which comes much closer to being truth than poetry. Said Prof. Hank Poltzclaw in marketing class, "A man saves all his money to buy a car for cash—then he saved a lot of money and bought the machine and a radio if he wants to. Then he can listen to the radio—and his wife can use the washing machine."
We have a new member to put up for election to the Phi Beta Kappa Rubber Tubing schools. In a quiz in Prof. Howymaustemmiln's Lee's advertising class, one student wrote over and over several times the sentence, "This is a good class." One of the others in the class asked how he knew he could just as much about the quiz as the first fellow, his grade wasn't nearly as good.
A group of Beta's, including the freshmen, bad quite a time last Saturday night out at a well known place east of town on highway 40. One of the brothers thought another had a birthday so it took almost the entire chapter to celebrate the event—at least that was given as one of the main causes of the outburst. Anyway, all of the big bad boys were enjoying cigars and root beers or something and one of the number had an accident. He dropped his.
Some of the lawyers and the engineers mixed up the other day, although not in the manner you'd think. A few of the lads wanted to go swimming on one of those fine days last week, so they started up the river in canoes. Those present and trying to account for themselves were Swede Everey, Harrington, Don Goad, Davidson, Sidder, Jerry Hurtt, and Gerald Oliver. Everything went well but the canoe which Warrington and Hurtt were trying manfully to navigate didn't make much progress. Suddenly it went into a wing-over and spilled the two boys into the water. Since it appears that Hurtt couldn't swim and merely went along for the hell of it he had a great bit of sport waving his arms frantically and gulping. It was made of mud! Thereupon, our hero really risked the "Treacherous Kaw" and saved the lad. Next time, we advocate the carrying of water wings or one of Bill Blower's stories just in case Swede isn't in the party.

A meeting of anyone interested in science was called at Lincolne College, Topkea, on Sept. 1, 1868 by a group of men who wished to further the interests of science in Kansas. Through the discussion of this group the Kansas Natural History Society was formed. These men were: John Fraser, D. H. Robinson, B. F. Mudge, J. A. Bandel, H. R. Brown, D. P. Burke, J. Barker, D. Brockway, J. F. Clapin, J. H. Carruth, R. D. Parker, Jeff. Robinson, F. H. Snow, Peter McVicar, J. S. Whitman, Richard Cordley, and J. R. Swallow.
The third annual meeting of the Society, held in the University building at Lawrence, 1870, saw a resolution passed by President John Fraser which enlarged the scope of the society and changed its name to the Kansas Academy of Science. President Fraser's organization study anything in the fields of natural science which affected Kansas.
Also in connection with the general meeting will be that of the Junior Academy of Science, made up of high school students, meeting under the sponsorship of the Academy's committee, headed by Miss Hazel E. Branch of Wichita. Maurice Ransom, Wichita High School East, is president of the junior of academy, and Dan LaSchellie of Junction City is secretary.

RAH-RAH STUDENT A MEMORY IN COLLEGE LIFE, SAYS JESSUP
Dr. Walter A. Jessus
A talk which embraced some 165,000 years of animal life and untold millions of years in the life of rocks was given to the Lawrence Rotary Club yesterday by Dr. Raymonn C. Moore, statistician and professor of geology at the University.
Following a brief presentation of to- fossil remains of men who lived 25,000 or more years ago, certain artifacts were thrown on the screen, showing the existence of men in periods so remote that even the modern form of bones is not likely to be found.
MOORE ADDRESSES ROTARIANS ON PREHISTORIC HISTORY
Modern Undergraduate Serious and Hard Working, Carnegie Foundation President Believes
By Gaylord Reagan
International Illustrated News Writer
This observation is set forth in the current annual report of the Carnegie Foundation of Teachers which has completed a nation-wide survey of condi-
The 'rain-ah boy of yesterday,' long considered a typical figure on the American university campus, has taken his turn to represent himself along with the flapper and speakacity.
His place has been taken by a more sober, serious-minded person who is both ambitious and hard-working.
"He is no longer the blase, sophisticated student of the 20s," Dr. Jessup says. "He is a hard-working, earnest and-minded person who demands more knowledge than any laboratory, the instructors that lab his brother of a decade or so ago.
"Students are now more interested in a serious lecture on some social problem, a tour of the art gallery, or the stirring retaliation of a student toward scholastic research, athletics, fraternities, and student activities.
president of University of Iowa and close friend of Chancellor Lindley, characterizes the typical student on the campus today.
"It is a fact that every serious-minded experiment on the part of one of our more progressive educational institutions, is now being met by the students with whole-hearted and intelligent cooperation. This has been notably true at such universities as Harvard, Chicago, Minnesota, and Princeton.
"It is altogether likely that the students will do their part in maintaining colleges and universities as a "seats of learning" if the colleges—executives and administrators—effect education fantasies of the 1900's and face the present in the spirit of reality."
Prediction that many colleges will lose ground and some will disappear in the coming struggle for existence, was also made by the Foundation. Shrinking education endowments, reductions in tuition, and a scarcity of new bequests, all contributing factors to the financial dilemma which threatens the very ex-
