Last Issue This Year of Sour Owl to Appear Friday
Increase in Use of Cuts and Pages to Feature Relay Number of Magazine

Plans are being made by members of Sigma Delta Chi, who are publishing it this year, to circulate the University's schedule. The schematic track meet Friday afternoon and the Kansas Relays, Saturday afternoon. An increased demand for this issue is anticipated by the editors, with the University playing heat to hundreds of visitors to
Owl Solvent Now
"Sigma Delta Chi wants to give the most of the best for the money," Chick Shawman, editor-in-chief, said this morning. "It was this idea in 1904 when the University prizes for the best art and literary contributions to this issue. We wanted to stimulate an interest in the magazine by all students of the University. We have tried this year to make the Owl as nearly representative of the Hill as possible, and entreated to cater any one group or class."
"It can easily be noted," Slawson continued, "That the Owl this year have reduced to a minimum razing of any kind which before has ousted needless hard feelings. We are glad that you are back and in turn wish to thank the students for their support. With their fine co-operation, the Owl this year have wiped out a big deficit incurred by last year's publishers, and is now able to stand pretty well on financial disaster."
Relay Owl Extra Good
The Kelays number will be attractive, according to Shawson. Every effort has been put forth to make this a real issue. The cover is a three-color drawing by Richard Bell. This Owl will be eight pages larger than the Faculty number distributed in February. An increase in cuts and humorous articles and likewise an increase in advertising is the reason for the larger book. The Owl will be so bold that it can be seen in public thus insuring a glossy surface for impressions.
The cover will carry the words, "The Kansas University Sour Oa!", so that the magazine will be more closely identified with this institution, when being circulated to exchanges and out-of-town subscribers.
Members of the fraternity and pledges will be on the Hill early Friday morning, selling the Owl. The will be the same twenty-cents.
