The Boys Fly Kites, Play Marbles,
etc . . . A Line on the Chorus .
A Merrie Tayle of a Damsel in
Distress . . . This and That.
With the advent of spring weather we thought surely all we'd have to say something about would be the difficulty of going to classes, etc., but the gate at Brick's has proved us wrong. Instead, we must talk about marbles, kites, and mumble-peg. The question of the hour seems to be whether Ernie Casini or Fred Ellis is the best marble shooter, but it's pretty well decided that John Dickey is the best kite flier—in fact he had ninety cents worth of string on a nickel kite Sunday afternoon—it looked as though he was sending an aerial message to Kansas City.
We've been looking in now and then to see how the musical comedy's chorus rehearsals are getting on—not that we'd endeavor to offer any advice, etc., but just for the hull of it. Perhaps it's because it gives us a little kick to see the comely lashes bouncing around in a good deal more than they'd wear to the local playground pool. They look swell, the dances do too, and with the management of Josie Dunkel we're looking for a pretty good thing.
Sunday's double feature at the Varsity theater was "Two Heads on a Fli low" and "The Lady Is Willing."
Some of the local boys went to Kansas City last weekend and couldn't get their pay-checks on the University cashed even with the aid of their activity tickets. We knew the identification cards were stinky but we really did think the banks would trust the University.
There comes the relating of a merrie tayle by one squire Touchy Eagle pertaining to how a comely wench did study in yon library which hides behind the mud sea on our own campus. Ye damsel was fair studying hard as the devil and one (1) mongrel dog did come strolling into the reserve room and lick said damsel. (We almost said the dog licked her in the literature room and sounded.) Upon being liked by the mongrel purp the lady cast a look skyward and did a good job faintning thereby proving that she isn't used to being licked by dogs, she doesn't like to be sneaked up on in the library, and she can't take it.
Prof. Holtschaw commenting upon weekly questions to be turned in by his 9:30 marketing class, quo thruhly, "I want the questions to be answered in fulf, not just a lot of pages of words, but not weighing papers this semester."
This and That: A total of Carlos Patterson's side-burns, fencing foil, and red shirt is beginning to add up to a little too much for us. . . A sweet young English major of Sigma Kappa listed K-men among college traditions . . . we'd say that most surely some of them have been involved in the boar that John Herlocker made the Winfield paper too . . . we understand the family was just a trifle burred about it . . . so he took Mary Ruth home last weekend to smooth things out—or something . . . After careful observation about the campus, one would be tempted to say that the term referring to these flaxen-haired creatures will be "life" blonds . . they're poison . . The weather reminds me that Sands and Givens managed to go on seven steak-fries in one week last spring.
To Continue Art Exhibit
Miss Rosemary Ketchan announced that the Malay exhibition which has been shown in room 328.

Kansas Squad Faces Two More Games With Sooners
The Kansas basketball team, relieved of the pressure commonly inflicted upon it, embarks tonight for final 10k appearance, meeting the Oklahoma Sooners Wednesday and Thursday at Yorman.

Ten men will make the trip including Ebling, Allen, Welles, Gray, Noble, Rogers, Kappelman, Wellhausen, Oyler and Shaffer. The regular string of Ebling, Allen, Wells, Gray, and Kappelman will probably go to the mark for Kansas.
