smart as can be." Lind gives this
childlike infection of voice that evokes
laughter from the listener.

SALLY EILERS RICHARD ARLEN
Old Hornet's Nest,
Believed Empty, Becomes
Menace to Bankers
"She Made Her Bed"
Ash Flat, Ark, May 1. — (UP) — a hornet's nest, brought from the wood in winter and hung on an oleander bush in a local bank, changed from a curiosity to a menace when the temperature suddenly mounted recently. Five of the stingers caused considerable discomfiture among employees.
Lindley's Parrots Give Spirit to 'Rock Chalk
One worker finally succeeded in stuffing a handkerchief in the entrance of the nest, thereby averting suspension of business. There were no protests against a proposal to remove the nest.

Songs, the short simple nursery tunes, are sung by the parrots with accuracy in both words and music. They will imitate songs that they hear or the radio, although they cannot understand the lyrics plainly.
Lind likes children, while Ley is indifferent to them. Both birds have favorites in the Lindley household. Mrs. Lindley is at present in the ill-favor of a bird that has been bitten so many times by the bird that she does not 'nudge it any more.'
The birds were trained by Stanley, the Lindley's younger son, when he was studying animal behavior in psychology. They were not taught the standard speeches of "Polly wants a cracker," because it was felt that it was too ordinary. They have, however, picked up those stock phrases from passing students who yell to them while they are in their outdoor cage.

"VOICE IN THE
NIGHT"
They greet visitors with the usua "hello," and if they are feeling talkative will give a whole performance. When the visitor turns to leave, they seldom fail to bid him a "good-bye," and they may even add "come again"
When Lind repeats her "Rock Chalk" cheer, she does it in the correct way, starting slowly, and repeating it rapidly, her green head bobbing up and down as she rises into the cheer that follows the words is a droll "sooh-ooh" rather than a lush声.
Lind is eight years old and Ley is six. Both are green with touches of bright red and yellow in wing and tail feathers.
W. B. Downing Resigns From Fine Arts Faculty
Music Professor Came Here From Drake University in 1914
Chancellor E. H. Lindley yesterday issued a statement to the effect that Prof. W. B. Downing, professor of voice, had tendered his resignation from the School of Fine Arts faculty, to become effective June 1.
"Professor Downing came to the University in 1914, and aside from a year's leaves of absence in 1922-23 has been active ever since. He will continue to rejuvenate."
"During the past year, Professor Downing has been devoting considerable time to outside business interests," the Chancellor said, "and he has recently been appointed district agent for the Insured Investors of Kansas City. This work has been making increasing demands on his time, and Mr. Downing has now decided to devote his whole time to it.
Professor Downing came to the University from Drake University where he was three years a member of the faculty. He was in charge of various projects.
UNIVERSITY MEN ENTERTAIN
KANSAS CITY CIVIC GROUP
The Lawrence chamber of commerce went to Kansas City this afternoon to put on a Lawrence meeting for the Kansas City chamber of commerce. Chancellor E. H. Lindley was the principal speaker as a citizen of Lawrence. A glee club quartet from the University was included on the program. Wilserson, c34, gave some impressions and Glenn Cunningham introduced.
Professor Downing has studied extensively. Besides attending the University of Chicago he studied in England and on the Continent for several years. His early duties at the University, besides the teaching of classes in the fine arts department, included the formation and direction of a men's glee club.
Others making the trip from the University were Dr. F. C. Allen and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary.
In addition to being director of the town band, Milo Durrett, *32*, South Haven, Kan., is teaching a review class similar to normal training classes for students out of school who are interested.
Harold Hawkins, who has been doing graduate work in the department of geology, has been employed as ranger naturalist at Grand Canyon, Colo. His duty will be to explain the geological phenomena to tourists and make a change in the way they will begin work May 12 and will possibly return to the University this fall.

William Courtier, also a graduate student in the department of Geology, will leave the University May 3 to begin work on the U. S. Geological survey of project mapping of the Kansas coal resources. Mr. Courtier will work under W. G. Pierce of the U. S. Geological survey, and will probably not return to the University.
Mary Smith, '19, m'30, has been appointed executive assistant to John G. Stutz, executive director of the Kansas Emergency relief committee with headquarters in the National Reserve Life building in Topeka. Last year Miss Smith was in charge of the local relief organization at Irvington, N. J. Since last fall she has been a case supervisor in Butler county.
The reserve room of Watson library, consecrated to study and scholarly research by its builders, every afternoon turns into something which resplashes into a circus. Hundreds of so-called "students" flock into this room dedicated to higher learning and succeed in transforming it into one of the gayest, peppiest social centers on the Hill.
Flipppy Pi Phis, Gamma Phis, Kappas, Thetas, and the rest of the sorority gals come about two-thirty. At approximately the same time the play-boys from Sigma Chi, Phi Pai, and all of the other fraternities rally 'round also, and everybody begins to enjoy a nice, social, get-together.
In the afternoon there are more hazards to study in the library than there are at Bricks after a dance. Gum-ch chewing Thetas run from one table to another. Pretty Pi Phi trip down the leather. Leather-heeled men stomp from one end of the room to the other. Bursts of muffled laughter pop up here and there at frequent intervals. And ever all the steady monotone of low conversation fills the room. This sort of high hip is of course
This sort of hub-bub is of course
dissecentering to any of the more conscientious students who happen to want to study a little bit in the reserve room, but the rowdyism must not be nearly so amoiying to them as it is to the librarian behind the biology desk who is commissioned to keep a semblance of order. No doubt her life would be much Lappier if the college fellers here would decide to hold their pep meetings some place else than in the reserve room of the library. But most especially would she be pleased if Rip Newman would make no more disturbance by wearing that flamboyant canary-yellow sweater.
Moods, as portrayed by good actors on the stage, are often very contiguous to the audience. Last night at the well-done performance of "Journey's End."
this was illustrated. For when Prof. Allen Craftman came on to *dilge* in the role of a sleepy soldier, his drowsyeyed bewilderment was so realistic that a good many people in the audience had to reach up to stifle yawns.
