Freshman Artillery Fails To Demolish Senior Totem Pole
Hall
But Now Totem Pole Is Retired To Morgue In Snow
Somewhere on Mount Oread. Freshmen start artillery attack on senior stronghold. Poor aim saves tolem pole. Freshmen retreat without loss.

stroh him. Four ham saves toten
pole. Freshmen retreat without loss.
Thus the early morning press re-
ports may have read one morning
1803 after the freshman at the Uni-
versity had made an unsuccessful
attempt to destroy the seniors' 'totem
The tomat pole was presented to the class of '23 by Ernest E. Robinson, son of Prof. D. M. Robinson, one of the three men who composed the first faculty of the University. It took the place of the tree which, according to the tradition of the school, was planted by the senior class. The tree had too much trouble in its history.
It was in the spring of 1890 that class animosity began—all because of the tree. The class of '90 had dug a hole and filled it with water, preparatory to planting their tree, when they observed an inquisitive form standing by. Then the hicked hit up and him into the hole, and class fields were started.
But the toten pole did not lessen freshman animosity. As soon as the toten pole was planted, the class of '97 borrowed the old Civil War cannon from South Park, filled it with powder, and fired on the pole.
Since the freshmen were not good artillerymen, poor marksmanship saved the pole. However, it was deemed inadvisable to leave such a bone of contention upon the campus public eye was withdrawn by the public eye in Snow Hall, until two years ago when it was taken out for use in Commencement week.
These markings represent the four years of a student's life in the University. First, he is the freshman who comes from the farm in rough boots and slouch hat—typical of Kansas in earlier days. Second, he who comes back the second year intent upon treating new freshmen in a perfectly fiendish way. The pony's head admits that by the time the student has reached his junior year he has learned to use the correct punctuation. Third, the institutions. The Indian's head suggests "Big Man Me!", who with the owl on his head must know a great deal.
The pole is twenty feet long and is decorated with a pair of rough work boots and slouch hat at the bottom; a devil's face is above that, a backpack of wool lies on top in the figure of an Indian's head upon which rests an owl.

Y.W.C.A. Social Service Committee Helping Poor
"Everybody is poor this year, but think of the people who are so much poorer than you are," might be the slogan of the Social Service committee.
This committee is composed of four sub-committees, and every woman in the University is a member. All are to work together to relieve some city of Lawrence. Even if you have no time to go to meetings, or visit the poor, you can help by planting one of the narcissus bulbs furnished by the Y. W. in a flower pot and just plant the flowers in the books, and magazines contributed will be distributed by the various divisions of the committee. A bulletin board in Myers Hall gives a list of /the things needed immediately, and from time to time those urgently required will be posted.
"Not only would the women be doing practical Christian work while in Lawrence," said Miss Guild, "but their experience here would enable them to do work along this line in their own home towns."
