Cracks in Floor of "Ad." Building Caused by Shrinkage.
that the cracks in the floor of the new Administration building are not the result of the blasting is held by authorities on building.

"The cracks have been there for some time," said a member of the faculty this morning, "They are caused by the shrinkage of the cement and are provided for in the construction of the building."

K. U. scored the first tally in the fourth when, with one down, Sommers doubled to right, and scored on Bishop's triple in the same direction.
St. Mary's came right back in the sixth with three hits and three runs, and the home fans trembled. After Brown had been retired by the pitcher-to-first route, Gilligan took second.

PARADISE IS OPENED FORBALD-HEADED ROW
Robert Sellers Discovers Island With Climate That Makes Hair Grow
"The Island of Beautiful Hair" is the title of the feature story in the "Faculty Number" of the Oread Magazine which comes out tomorrow. Robert Sellers, the author, has discovered an island with a climate that will actually grow beautiful hair, and has made it the basis for an ex-cruciatingly funny burlesque love story.
Professors with bald or near-bald pates are requested not to read the sketch, as it might instill in them a desire to hunt for this island, much the same as Ponce de Leon of old went to search for the fountain of youth.
Fourteen other students will contribute stories and verse to this issue.
