If our boys on the basket ball trip have lost two games they have managed to capture the big games, Nebraska and Armour Institute.
The Spanish department has moved into the Kansan office and at present it is hard to determine which will be affected the more, newspaper English by Spanish, or Spanish by newspaper English.
If some of the George Ades and Peter Dunnes that work on the notices on the general bulletin board in Fraser Hall could be persuaded to contribute to the Kansan, we would have a funny column that would rival Judge's.
The students of the German department deserve the patronage of the school in a better manner than was given them last night. The play that was presented was first-class and reflected no little credit on the students taking part.
A senior who was disturbed by some freshmen talking and giggling in the library the other day broke out in the following: "This University is going to the dogs. When I was a freshman i had to take languages, mathematics and zoology, and spend ten hours a day "grinding" in my room. Now these freshmen take four or five lecture courses, and come up here to the library and spend most of their time watching the cases and making comments."
Since the sophomores have decided to give the seniors an elaborate entertainment some time in April, why can't we follow the lead of some eastern institutions and have a week of social festivity, and concentrate all our social functions in that one week? Let the freshmen come forward with their mite and all will be complete, as the juniors have already planned their part toward the general gayety. The lower classmen should remember that as they
give, so it will be given to them when they are seniors.
The class of '08 has originated some novel ideas in its day. People who know, say that the May day funeral last year was the best class prank ever carried out on Oread while the sophomore idea of giving an entertainment to the seniors is certainly a new one in the Kansas University social world.
Last night I had a little hand,
So dainty and so neat,
Methought my heart would
burst with joy
So wildly did it beat;
No other hand unto my soul
Could greater solace bring
Than that I held last night,
which was
Four aces and a king.
Polen Orange
Four aces and a king.
