Nearly all the football men hove turned in their suits,paid their board bills,and are wearing K's.
We suppose the usual number will have trouble with their eyes and go home during the next few weeks.
Three K. U. Graduates were on the Kansas day program at Topeka. It won't be many years until the man in politics, who isn't a K. U. man, will be an exception.
The leading article in the Graduate Magazine for this month is an article by Professor W. H. Carruth on the football situation. Prof. Carruth five years ago pointed out some of the defects of football as it was played, and might well be called the pioneer in the movement for football reform, that is now sweeping the country.
The editor of the Chicago Maroon and Michigan Daily are engaged in as bitter a newspaper quarrel as that of the Leavenworth Times and Topeka Capital. The Michigan Daily is so unused to defeat that it cannot take it like a man, while the Chicago Maroon likes to Lord it just a trifle since last Thanksgiving.
The reports from the examinations just past indicate a loss of some of the best track athletes in the University. Two of last year's stars now have a "flunk" against them, while others have "conditions" and "not examined" to contend with. Some of the most promising freshmen have fallen by the wayside. It is now the duty of all loyal University men to give
all the more support to those men that are left.
An Elaborate College Function.
The Yale "Prom" occurred last week. In respect to magnificence, number of participants and general extravagance no former junior festivities bear any comparison. The Yale Literary Magazine raises the question of the true relation of such social life to the Yale spirit of democracy. The junior festivities of which the prom is the crowning feature, are expensive indeed. With the utmost economy compatible with a respectable showing, one junior spent about $150. Of this sum, $30 was spent in flowers and $40 on carriages.

Another Million for Chicago.
Chicago University has received another gift of $1,450,000 from John Rockefeller. One million of this large donation goes to the permanent fund; $350,000 is to cover the expenses up to July 1st, 1907; $100,000, the interest of which is to be given to the widow of President Harper.

The First Kiss.
The greatest surprise to a girl who gets kissed the first time is there is no taste to it.—Pocahontas (Ark.) Times.
No taste to it? Well, by the hen feathers on Cupid's dart, but the Times man must be color blind in the palate. They tell us, those who have tried it, that it tastes like the double distilled essence of honey spread thick on a pumpkin pie. Away back in the dim joyful years ago before we lost our teeth and our cinch on the beauty prize, the prettiest girl in all the world told us with her eyes that it felt like a covey of quail flying out of each ear and ended with a sensation like a flock of angels pouring molasses down one's back.-Birmingham Age-Herald.
