Students who go to their homes tomorrow can help the University by interesting their high school friends in the high school meet April 20.
The Kansan expected to bring out its spring poem in this issue, but the weather of the past week threw the muse into violent chills from which she has not yet recovered.
The usual cutting of classes incident to vacations begin today. The abolition of spring vacation takes away one temptation, which draws students from the straight and narrow path.
One branch of outdoor sports that has been almost totally neglected here is tennis. There are a number of enthusiasts in the University, and with some good courts the number would be greater. Tennis tournaments are a recognized feature of athletic life at many other institutions. Why not here?
There's no keeping politics out of University affairs. The committee which arranged for the selections of speakers for University day in chapel, thought they had arrived at a means of doing it by having the nominations in the form of signed petitions. But within a half hour after the announcement, three schools had entered into a compact to concentrate their support upon one man. It's no use. The spirit is irrepressible.
Mr. Reid's Lecture.
Albert T. Reid, publisher of the Leavenworth Post, addressed the newspaper and art classes Friday on "Newspaper Illustrating." His talk was a very interesting one, and told of the various processes, through which a picture goes for reproduction at its different stages.
Mr. Reid is one of the leading cartoonists of the west, and is also the proprietor of the Reid-Stone Art School, of Topeka.
Miss Mary Chamberlain, of Topeka, spent the past week at the Pi Phi house.
"St. Patrick Was an Engineer."
The engineering students at Missouri took their annual day off on St. Patrick's anniversary and rendered due honor to the patron saint of the Irish, who, as they assert, was an engineer. At ten o'clock all the students lined up in the quadrangle and on all fours in the snow, went through the grand "Kow Tow" before the jolly saint.
"The Shamrock," a little paper published by the engineers on St. Patrick's day, contained the following:
St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was,
he was!
For he surveyed the Emerald Isle, And made its map and a profile.
Erin Go Bragh. Rah! For the Engineers.
St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was,
he was!
For he was the gun with a monkey wrench.
That screwed the lawyers to the bench.
Erin Go Braugh. Rah! For the Engineers.
St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was, he was!
For he invented the Calculus And handed it down direct to us. Erin Go Bragh. Rah! For the Engi-
Bragh, Rah! For the Engineers.
St. Patrick was an Engineer, he was,
he was!
For he was "conned" in Chemistry,
And in Senior English got a "C."
Erin Go Brach. Rabl Earth.
Bragh. Rah! For the Engineers.
Michigan Defeats Wisconsin.
Michigan defeated the debaters from Wisconsin last Friday night on the Federal regulation of railway rates. Michigan defended the affirmative.
The cast has been chosen for the Junior farce to be presented at the "Prom." It is said concerning the number of characters and the farce itself, that it will be more pretentious than ever before.
Professor E. G. Frazier will read Enoch Arden at Seneca, Kansas, immediately after Easter, under the auspices of the city Federation.

GRAND OPERA STARS TO SING IN KANSAS CITY.
Some of the Brilliant Artists from the Combined "Parsifal" and English Grand Opera Company Under Mr. Henry W. Savage's Canner.
Mr. Henry W. Savage will introduce to Kansas City a host of glorious voiced English singing songbirds when his combined "Parsifal and English Grand Opera Companies appears at the Willis Wood for tour performances, beginning Thursday, March 29. Three different masterpieces are to be given, including two performances of Wagner's celebrated Nieblungen Ring music-drama "The Valkyrie" that begins at 7:30 and 1:30 promptly, with complete productions of Verdi's exquisite "Rigoletto" and Gonnon's "Faust."
Opera lovers in Kansas City and surrounding points have been looking forward to this brief season of grand opera ever since it was known that an opportunity would be afforded to hear "The Valkyrie" which Mr. Savage has been the first to translate to the American stage. The work is one of such lyric, dramatic and scenic grandeur as to be counted a rival of last year's production of "Parsifal." This is the first of the "Ring" that has been brought west of Chicago. The importance of the occasion has induced the railroads to announce special rates of one and a third fare for the round trip' and hundreds of opera lovers will visit Kansas City to enjoy the superb repertory.
CHANGES IN MINNESOTA DAILY
