Kansas Girls Prove They Like to Walk
The statement from Ohio State College that "girls are too lazy to walk" is decidedly discredited here in Kansas.
The recent activity of the Hiking Club organized here under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. proves that this will not hold true when applied to the "buxon" lasses of Kansas. By arrangement made with the War men's Athletic Association a girl can earn the club a certain num- of miles each week. So far this year the girls have walked sixty-three miles.
Sometimes the expeditions are made especially inviting by lunches, but again they go only for the physical benefits which they may derive. Miss Gladys Snyder c'25, is the organizer and leader of the group.
Judd Benson, c'22, returned Tuesay day from Laramie, Wyo., where he attended the Province conference of the U.S. Army. It was delegate of the local chapter.
The following will be the greets at the Alpha Chi Omega House Friday, Saturday and Sunday: Elizabeth Stevens, Maurine McKernan, Athol Brthrop, Victoria Duncan, Vivian Reule, Helen Montgomery, of Kansas City, Mo.; Patricia Evans, of Topperk; Norma McFadden, Loine Engle, of Abeline; and Mrs. Foster Myers, of Holyoord.

Bright Student Peregrinates To Gym and Finds That Odd Things Come to One's Notice
What old things come to one's notice!
The men's gym is usually a good place to loot if the Bright Student has a vacant hour with no studying to do. The men stand at the windows in the hall and look through at the performing gym classes. They are furnished with amusement. They say "Look at that old fat boy." Clumsy? Gee- And Wan't that man be playing with the red jersey pulled off?" They are so interested that they are surprised when the whistle blows and calls them to classes.
The other morning when the Bright Student peregrinated as usual to the gym, in search of an hour's entertainment he was surprised to find a large crowd of men in "clafs" clothes grouped on the gym floor. Someone stood behind them, with the center of the crowd, it must be a fight or wrestling. Worst something unusual was occurring. Careful manipulation brought the Bright Student to a position in which he could observe all that was going on. At the center of the crowd a human body, apparently alive—apparently
MINE WORKERS FIGHT RADICALISM IN RANKS
Fear Howat Insurgency May Hurt Cause in Adjustment of Wages
Indianapolis, Feb. 16.—Leaders in the United Mine Workers fought vigorously today to prevent their wage convention from going radical. Faced with the possible necessity of a strike April 1, when their wage contract expires, President John L. Lewis and other international officers were preparing to smother completely the insurgency of Alexander Howa Kansas, and an official fellow who were expelled from the organization. Paul said internal dissension will prolong the Union's position in its pending wage fight. He and all his associates say a firm front is necessary.
A test of strength will come in the report of the credentials committee which is expected to recommend seating Howat and 125 of his men who attended the convention in an effort to be reinstated.
very much alive, in fact—was suspended in midair, at a foot or two above the floor. He seemed to be in the most exquisite agony, for he was struggling frantically. Why didn't some of those poor fisheries near him help the poor man out before he was killed or injured seriously? The Bright Student was about to think his thoughts by fiction and imaginations of a victim who stopped revolving, hesitated a while and started the other way.
The test will determine the complexion of future policies, a high officer said. A Howat victory would threaten conservatism. Administration forces said Howat's victory in recent years was only "temporary." They said the convention would do as it did last September, sustain the Lewis forces.
Seven Women Suspended From Missouri University
Seven women were suspended for three days from the University of Missouri this week for having remained at a party until 23:00 o'clock, February 4. The Women's Governors Association has been the happening and suspended the girls.
"So," thought the Bright Student, "That guy was doing that on purpose. Well!"
The party was given at one of the fraternity houses, February 4 and these girls remained at the party until 2:30 o'clock Sunday morning.
What odd things come to one's no tice!
After a few more exercising contortions the victim stopped, and began unbuckling himself from a series of pulleys and straps and stood up, "Hey, man." "This Molly Revolving Hammock," he said, "is an excellent means of exercising the spine and back muscles as well as a great many other muscles of the body. It is well worth your attention to take their exercise in limited ance."

Democrats Seek Source Of Four-Power Treaty
Washington, Feb. 18- In an effort to trace to its source the four-power Pacific treaty, democratic senators will support the Hitchcock resolution asking Harding to submit complete information concerning the treaty.
called up today. Some observers saw in the Hitchcock resolution a democratic breaking away from Senator Underwood's leadership. Underwood has not yet met his colleagues to explain his part in the conference but he said that he will be able to resolve may be adopted by the senate but its sponsors do not expect that it will result in an immediate revealing of how the fourpower pact was made. The Democrats intend to make this change, and not some difficulty in bringing it out.
