Sour Owl Out in Green To Welcome Freshmen
Fred Leach Has Refreshing Work in Junior Society's Publication
The first Sour Owl of the school year, called the Freshman Number came out Monday in a green cover design. The issue was larger in number of pages and in price than the costymary fermented bird issued by the Owl society, twenty cents being demanded in exchange for a copy.
The cover design, by Fred Leach, is the best thing in the book. In fact Leach's work very largely carries the view that a book must have that is attractive. Leach also has a double page of illustrated advice to freshmen that is good, that is even mighty good and refreshing, when it comes to using the verses on the second page following.
The chancellor, adviser of women dean of the college and the head of the history department come in for much the same time-worn knackers that no doubt are intended to be but the playful outburst of sportive youth, but that only achieve the poor distinction of being stale and bad taste.
An observing student, reading the Owl remarked patly that the Owls would take another view of things should a group of faculty decide decide should students as the butt of any ill-hunter they might have. The suggestion, of course, is wholly hypothetical. No faculty group would issue a Biting Owl report or squirrel periodical, but there's food in the notion for the Owls.
The Sour Owl, under the membership that issued the book last year and is now turning it over to the new membership, made creditable progress in its efforts to be a better and more responsible leader of the question of 'wilit' it had inherited. The Owl should be one of the brightest things in K. U. It has a promising future. There's talent enough in the society to make it sparkling, if only the advertising talent doesn't continue to run away with the media. So keep the magazine committed to the slapshock humor of mildly knockes.

Two Iola boys are in the same house in Lawrence. The other evening one of them saw the other look doubtfully at his shaving tools. "Why, do you think you need a shave before you step out tonight?" he asked in surprise, looking at the practical smooth face of his friend. "I don't know," replied him. "I just stare across his cheek and listening thoughtfully to the slight grating sound, 'but I hope so'-"Iola Register.
She was a calf-eyed damself and hit the editor for a job as reporter, "I just love to write," she gushed, while the poor man stuck his hot pipe in his rear pocket and tried to look interested. He explained patiently that reporting was largely a matter of legs—at which she blushed becoming—and that such sordid things as names of people should be important that high-fashion literary offusions. She nodded understanding at the proper places in the talk, but it was no use, the point simply did not get over. I know you would just love to read one of my poems," she confided, and produced it. It was tied with baby blue ribbon—a roll of white lawn, and written in lavender ink.

VAIN EFFORT
Attorney General Gregory at a dinner recently remarked: "Bores are always talkative. There is no unpleasant tone." One said to me at a party: Jones isn't very polite. He yawned three times while I was talking to him yesterday. 'But maybe he wasn't yawning.' I didn't reply, worrying to say something. "'Argonaut."

"My first patient called on me today," said the young doctor. "He's rich, too."
"Congratulations!" replied the elderly doctor. "What was the matter with him?"
"I hear you are going to marry Archie Blueblood?" said one society woman to another. "Is it true?"
"Ah! my boy, you still have a great deal to learn about your profession."
—Birmingham Are Herald.
"Marry him?" exclaimed the other, "Not likely. What on earth could I do with him? He rejected from the Army, he can't ride, he can't play tennis, golf nor, for that matter, can he even drive a motor-car!"
"Nothing. I couldn't find a thing wrong with him."
