“One of the happiest and luckiest features of the engagement,” said Professor Craft, “is the fact that Ray Whitaker, many others in Kansas City made the offer. It leads us to believe that we have some little reputation or they would not have done it.” The two former managers others. We have no illusions about any great success. We do know that we have five weeks of tremendously hard work ahead of us, and hope that we will be able to make a creditable

There stood the hearse, stripped of all its signs, and forlornly waiting for a savior. It was intact except for a broken part. In the baggage room of the station.
"I can't give you this wheel with out the check." The baggage man was hopeless. He refused.
Four to one are good odds so the wheel was taken and replaced and the hearse was hitched to an old Ford and transported to the country. It was hid in the barn of an obriging farmer and there awaits a triumphant return. It is Dread. It will rest on its place in front of Green hall and the engineers will reassume their attempts to carry it to the steps of their school.

"With no laws against the selling and consuming of liquor, and saloons as common as grocery stores, there is no drunkenness," he continued.
The people, who are called Carles,
have a constitution modeled upon the
American constitution. Although it
seems like a toy government in com-
parison with ours, its efficiency is
much larger in many instances than
our own.
When someone gets a "corner" on a certain commodity or establishes a share of the whole supply of the commodity by forces within a day or two and distributes it to customers.
Persons guilty of petty crimes are whipped at the whipping post in the village square, "This seems a bit cruel and out of date," said Mr. Elliott, "but this one punishment is usually sufficient to prevent a crime from happening." It can be a year or two of imprisonment in the awavernment penitentiary."
"The fleet of one of these countries sometimes consists of one or two small steamboats, called by them 'battleships', and are armed with guns which shoot bails a bar hundred yards or more."

College Students Are Too Indolent Educators Agree
Extra-Curricular Activities Allow Undergraduates Little Time for
Chicago, Jan 14—Too many objec stands between the two main forces of American college education—the professors and the students—American college officials here in conference have agreed.
Studies
"College are now cluttered up with yummia, field houses, stadium, with the usual student unions," said Charles Einger, dean of the University of Michigan and president of the Association of American Colleges, which is in charge.
Edian Effinger said he could forgive much of the lack of real education today because of the scramble and fast-moving student life and the present side-lines which interfere with the real problem of education. What he couldn't forgive, he said, is the absolute laxity of the average student,
"Experience has shown us that the average student who fails in his study falls because he does not work," Dear Effinger said. "We might put the
This suggestion, received as first with gapes by many of the college officials, seemed to take hold.
Dr. Clarence Cook Little, youthful student of the University of Michigan, suggested that all college students of mediocre ability be "weeded out" at the end of the second year in college, saying "give them a certificate showing that they have gone to college for two years—then out with them."
Dr. Kerr McMillan, president of Wells College for women at Aurora, N. Y., agreed that the average student has too much on his mind concerning his dramatics, his athletes his fraternities, and his editorship to put much attention on the subject he is studying.
Too Many Outside Activities
"There are too many marches in
"Constitute the American
youth today to allow these fine think-
ers to be held back by hay dollars,"
The opinion at the conference seemed to be that the students and not the faculty are running the modern college—and this conference is comprised of leaders of 50,000 faculty members.

Daredevil Coasters Flash Down Fourteenth Street Like Winged Mouse Out of Dante's Inferno
Fourteenth street looked like a bowling last night and a great many students who were not there were down on Eleventh or Twelfth Street, where the domes and guide bars in their hands. Fourteenth street seemed to offer the biggest thrill. The coasters started at the top like gentlemen, but by the time they had slid in, they were all wet with ye old winged mouse out of Infrore. Upon being hastily interviewed at five minutes past twelve last night, an ex-aviator is quoted as saying that any future flying he would be able to do in a nice, easy-going airplane and that the idea of starting out with his solar plexus balanced on a sled about the size of a grapefruit and no other material connection with old Mama giving yourself to the three Fates.
Matters finally got so serious from the flying sledding parties missing

Plenty of Seats Assured Holders of Activity Books
Accommodations for 6,500 Promised in Auditorium Now in Process of Building
"Every holder of a student activity ticket will be able to obtain admission to the basketball games," Dr. F. C. Anderson of athletics, announced at noon today.
Refund Is S3
"We are sure now that we will have enough seats at all the games." Doctor Allen said. "We have just completed a second reckoning of seating space available in the gymnasium and hallways, and it will take our date everyone. There will be extra seats or standing room space to take care of all holders of activity books."
Some students have already turned in their activity books under the offer of the athletic office to refund $2 on them if basketball seats were not rented. Students also have a chance to get tickets also if they want them, according to Doctor Allen.
The difficulty in basketball reservations this year was caused by the increased sale of student enterprise tickets has fall under the system that requires a student to ask for an exemption if he does not wish the ticket. Under this rule more than twenty-five thousand books, more than 40,000 books, more than 40,000 ever bought tickets for all the University events.
Too Many Tickets Sold
Doctor Allen expressed the fear last fall that if so many tickets were sold there would not be enough room in the gymnasium for all basketball reservations. The understanding at that time was that if there were more than 10 students able, the students left out should get a refund of $8. Few students bought their students enterprise tickets with that understanding, however, due to the failure of the committee to give them enough seats, there might not be enough seats.
Reservations for organizations, season ticket holders, and so on, number 828. More than twenty-one hundred student activity tickets will be seated.
There will be no difficulty after this year, Doctor Allen says, because the new auditorium, seating 6,500, will be completed in time for the season next year. The larger seating space there will make it possible to accommodate many out of town fans who have been turned away in former years.
