"These men have been chosen as managers of the Law Serrim," said "Curry" Wolfinbarger, president of the Law school, "because they have proved their ability to handle such a party successfully by their activity in other student affairs. If anyone has the pep to put on a real party it should be our former cheer leader Virg."
The Law Scrim is one of the traditions of the University that dates back far into the past. This party is given annually in honor of the Jayhawk football team. The tentative date for the party is the special stunts, and the best of dance music are promised by the managers.
For the last three years the party has been informal but the managers are considering the plausibility of making the party formal this year, "The Law Serim of former years was a strictly formal affair with silk hats and everything," said the managers.

He denies that he is in any way superstitious, but he will not wear No. "I" for the sole reason that during his fresh year he were "I"T, and again for the second month of the team he retires to wear any other number.
Last year Booter was selected as All-Missouri Valley halfback as a running mate for Noble of Nebraska. The team defeated the Drake basketball hall team.

Experts explain that they are merely albinos which through some freak of nature have lost the color pigment possessed by most rodent preysters's brothers. This lack of color pigment aids breed true so that a colony of the pinkful rodents soon comes into being.
It is said that these albines are easier to capture than the ordinary keeneyed prairie dog, as the lack of eyes makes the eye make their sight less acute.

Campus Clock Begins Work in New Clothes
The last vestige of an alibi for being late to class has disappeared. No more may the night-hawk over-sleep or the victim of a class in West Ad reach Fraser after the appointed hour. The newly-painted clock on Blake Hall is a resplendent, even a glorious warning to tardy students.
A little artificial coloring has done wonders to the old time-piece, and it ticks away unrelentlessly. But all the recent glory is not the result of paint. The clock likewise boasts a new pane of glass over its face.
The dust of years has been covered by new paint, the cracks of years are effaced by the new glass, but the same old hands continue moving, telling the same old story, "Time for class.'
