RAIL ROVER KILLED BY U. P. PASSENGER
Vagrant Meets Death Under Wheels of Train Near
A man was run over and killed last night by an east-bound Union Pacific passenger train about two hundred yards east of the fort-to-fort-high crossing in North Lawrence last night. He was identified by a watch charnet of peculiar design as John Vincent Smith, 1810 W, 58th S, Los Angeles. He has also left his left arm the tattooed initial J, V, S.
The body was discovered about 8:15 last night by a flagman, who immediately called a motorcycle patrolman. The coroner, Dr. Carl Phillips, decided that the man had tried to "hop" a train, and either missed his step or miscalculated the distance.
The accident probably occurred about 8 o'clock, since a short time before the body was found, a man was seen on the tracks. The remains were taken to the Funk Undertaking parors.
Railroad authorities have not received an answer to a telegraph of inquiry sent to Sioux City.
Filty Legion Men Stage Moving Act
Some people who walked along the 800 block on Massachusetts Street about 8 o'clock last night may have learned a wholesale factory robbery was being perpetrated under the very eyes of the citizens of Lawrence.
There were grounds for the belief. At the time mentioned about fifty young men—some carrying chairs and some carrying tables, but all carrying some piece of furniture—came out of the Merchants' National Bank building and headed in the direction of the People's State Bank.
The Legion will hold open house in its new home Tuesday night. The rooms have been repaired and repaired throughout. The entitlement invited, and Legion officials are particularly anxious that students attend.

"The reason many people did not read the Bible is that they were afraid of it and regard it as a "golden book flung down from heaven" to be swallowed whole," said Mr. Porter."Without an understanding of the Bible people would be unable to understand music, art, literature or history.

That Faculty Members Often Flirted In Chapel Is Shown By Ancient, Pencil-Marked Bible
"Property of the University of Kansas; for use in Chapel." That is the identification in an 1887 edition of the Bible recently resurrected by Prof. W. A. Dill of the department of journalism. Chancellor John Fraser's name appears in the Pilbe three times and it was probably during his administration that it was used for devotional exercises in chapel. The last time he appeared in the '80s' wrote note to one an other on the "fliesen" of the Bible
Charlie is my favorite name.
Thanks, you don't know how high!
you flatter me."
The above are pencilled notations which appear on the first leaf of the old relic. The mystery becomes deeper on the next page, due to the fact that half-hearted attempts have been made to obiterate the writing and smash it. In spite of this difficulty the following histories are enclosed:

“Indeed, I mean it. I joke a great deal, but not always.”
Whether this romance between the "most charming young lady in Lawrence" and the "flatterer" ever amounted to anything will probably never be known. Did this take place between two professors while some speaker was bravely attempting to give an address to the statute body?
It is evident that the holder of the book passed some of the hour away by counting the chapels in the Bible and noting that there were 1890. The words in the first chapter of Genesis were counted also, and found to total 795. From all of this accumulated evidence we get the impression that even the professors were human in "we old days."
Steps Taken to Establish American Society of Engineers
R. O. T. C. ORGANIZES BASKET BALL TEAM

The first rifle drill of the local R. O. T. C. unit was held yesterday afternoon on the drill ground and was characterized by the veteran-like manner in which the cadets went through their arms, using rifles for the first time.
Steps are also being taken toward the establishment of a student branch of the American Society of Military Engineers, which was founded as a national society in 1918. About 25 or 30 men signed the questionnaire in regard to the student branch, thus supporting their support to its establishment.
The first student unit of the society was founded in the Oregon Agricultural College, and it is the hop of those in authority in the local R. O. T. C. unit that K. U. may establish the second one in the nation. Literature and application blanks have been requested and active steps toward the establishment of the branch will be taken as soon as they arrive.

Fifty-Two Marriages of K. U People in Three Months
In the last three months fifty-two marriages of K. U. people have been announced or an average of twenty percent have been missed on this issue of the Graduate Magazine.
mime magazine.
A question has arisen—will the K. U. student marry the woman he meets at K. U. or will he marry the woman at home? Statistics will show that the K. U. woman stands about a fifty-fourth of range with a K. U. student. Sometimes he marries the woman he meets at school, but sometimes he doesn't, in which case she is disappointed, and may have to start all over again, competing with the younger women, with a losing chance to win.
Among the fifty-two marriages in the past three months twenty-five of them were the result of friendships made while in school, and twenty-nine more marriages in which only one party was formerly a student of K. U.

The yell will be given as follows: On the call for the "Thunder Clap" every one clap their hands, continuing until the cheerleader's hands are raised above his head. The clapping is to gradually die down as the leaders move down the court and the sigh given every one is to give a shrill whistle, following with a mighty "Boom" and a clear-throated, "Yea- Jay Hawk."
