"How many?" asked Flint and Professor Kester, Jr. came in the library trying to sell blue bells and wild onion flowers that they had picked back of Blake Hall.

PHILIPPINE STUDENT SPEAKS TO BANKERS
Frenando V. Bermejo, Electe
Member of Kansas State
Bankers Association
Ferdando V. Bermejo, one of the Filipino students of the University was given an honorary membership in the Kansas Bankers' Association, after an address made before the closing session of the convention held in Wichita, Friday. The applause he gave was a gesture that greeted any speaker during the convention, according to the Wichita Beacon.
Mr. Berniceo said many things about the University of Kansas, and the government of the Philippines that he helped them. "A very high government official, who is not a native Kansan nor a graduate of the University of Kansas, recommended this University in the highest terms," said Mr. Berendzak. The university gave a government student. "I have been a live booster for Kansas ever since and I would like to be shown the man in this convention who is proud of Kansas than I. I assure you it will have a hard time to prove it."
A strong plan was then made for the Independence of the Philippines "The question of Philippine independence, is not a question of politics; it is a national subject among us." The United States has promised us independence in the Jones Law. Independence is the greatest blessing on earth."
In speaking of the progress of the Philippines he mentioned the facts that there are less than seven per cent of illiterate children, that they are the only Christian nation of the Orient, and that 98 per cent of the farms are owned and cultivated by the natives.
"Our islands have made more process in the past twenty years of american administration, than in any other state," he said in parish rule," he said in caiding.
Milk May be Delivered in Beer Kegs for N. Y
Because of the shortage of milk sans, it has been seriously suggested that beer kegs, for which there is no longer any use, be pressed into service in bringing the supposed surplus of milk to New York. It is said that the plan was suggested at a conference between representatives of the National Bar Association and the Honor Attorney's staff, but every one present declines to take the responsibility, though they agree that the proximal was made.
It was stated, unofficially, that after an exhaustive search through State statutes it was decided that Mr. Swann should be prosecuted which the distributors could be prosecuted for the alleged curtailment of production. Upon this theory, therefore, it was assumed that Mr. Swann and his staff had withdrawn from production and handed off the hands of Francis G. Caffey, the United States Attorney, for possible action under the lever act, a warrant measure, still in force, prohibiting the necessary of production in any of the necessities of HK—New York Evening Post.

15 WANT JAPANESE
Attempt is Being Made to Secure 40 Students in Language Course
"About fifteen students" said S. I, Goto, a Japanese student here "have signed sips declaring their intentions of taking up the course in Japanese which may be offered here next fall. An attempt is being made to secure an enrollment of about forty students for this work.
"Names of students, who are desirous of taking up this subject, are continually coming into the dean's office and it is hoped, in order that this course may be assured, that enough students will turn in their names to the office sometime during this week."
...
The Japanese language is as easy, according to Mr. Groto, in fact easier than most foreign languages, and as the Chinese language takes about seventy five per cent of its root words from the Japanese, this language forms a good basis for the study of Chinese."
"The course is a three-hour course and includes sophomores, juniors and all freshmen. We will refine their intentions of taking this work, it will probably be offered at the end."
The morning schedule of classes will be as follows:

Here Are Five Sure Harbingers of Spring
There ain't no further doubt about it, it's here! When the journalists take up their watch under the large shade trees near the Kansas office, and Cap Garvin, Ormond Hill, Mary Brown and Skeeter Wyatt start their numbly peg games—Spring has came.
Further proof of this statement was revealed yesterday when John Burroughs four muttering curses himself amid a fiercely aimlessly across the campus, "Just as sure as Spring comes Bull Durham gets dry and it don't taste
However, there is always a doubt to be harbored in such an affirmation and there is one drawback to the thought that spring is here, and that is that Freddie Leech hasn't heard it. You will be he was noticed at the library, Tuesday night, pacing the hall nervously and feverishly. Freddie visits the old library, it's a sure symptom. Then, too, look at the profess- it is an undisputed, historical fact that unfallingly, when spring approaches they begin giving assignments long enough to finish. Practically every one of the species in question began lengthening their assignments last week.
But the most unquestionable proof is the Kaw at night. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the parade begins. Students, two by two, with canoe paddles ever their shoulders, pillows and ukeleens under their arms are strolling toward the river. Alternatively, they arrive on most arrive back at the dock about 11:30 o'clock and steal into their rooms unseen by the landlady.

The closing number will be given by the two clue clubs and the orchestra, with Dean Butler as soloist. This number, which is the Bai Sane from "Elijah", consists of four choral three recitals and an air for bass.

WOMEN FAVOR STADIUM
Miss Pratt said, "K. U. Women Will Boost the Movement"
"When you think of stadium you think of inter-college athletic," said Miss Hazel Pratt, instructor of women's physical education, today. "The women of the University will be glad when the concrete stadium can compete with the grass plan, but as far as getting any personal benefit from it when their athletic events come off, we do not expect a great deal. Chiefly because such events do not draw a large crowd and even now nothing but Varsity games are played on McCook. But now the stadium will be pushed as hard as possible to be women's training a department in physical training," continued Miss Pratt.
"As affairs are now the women have not the proper equipment nor space enough for the right amount of training. We do have a place in the gymnasium for outdoor track, but we do not need it be used. It will never be possible to have women's intercollegiate athletics, because the women could never do it and keep their health. The women don't need the track for the women. They were absolutely untrained, but at one of the first practices, Irene Then in the broad jump, cleared fourteen feet. As soon as things can be animate, she would give a rapid ascent at the University of Kansas," concluded Miss Pratt.
