Plain Tales From the Hill
Rock Chalk.
Jay Hawk, K-hUcome!
The laws needn't think they have a monopoly on chivalry. During arrangements for the Engineers' smoker recently, one of the crude engineers moved that the six women enrolled in the school be taught to smoke so that they could be included at the party. The motion lost.
The illustrious president of the senior class has troubles of his own. Last week the report started that he was a member of the secret police and the boys refused to speak to him. Now they are saying he is engaged and the girls won't look at him—anymore?
Some men on the Hill are very much like a kerosene lamp: They often not especially bright; they often offer no shade; they usually smoke, and frequently go out at night.

Cafeteria Will Close Thursday After Year Of Serving Students
Lack of 1 ends from University Budget May Prevent Re-opening in Fall
The University cafeteria will close Thursday, and will not reopen during the summer session. The reason for its early closing is the expiration of insurance put on the building when the cafeteria moved in.
The room the cafeteria now occupies belongs to the Woman's Christian Board of Foreign Missions and was lent the University to be used for the benefit of the Student Army Training through the kindness of Dr. Arthur Bradley, a member of the building, it was given to the Department of Home Economics for the University cafeteria for the rest of the year. When the cafeteria moved into Myers Hall, a larger amount of insurance had to be taken out because of the more hazardous nature of the work. This insurance expires June 1.
"The probability of opening the cafeteria next fall is very small," said Miss Elizabetht Sprague, head of the department of home economics. "Since the Christian Board can not let us open all schools and the University will have to find another place for a cafeteria, if we are to have one. A committee has been appointed, Dean Oln Templin, chairman; Miss Alberta Corbin, Miss Elizabeth Brantid and L. F. Sisson to consider the cafeteria question.
"The most probable place in view iow is one of the barracks near Havorth Hall. Money would be needed o equip it and there has been no aloofness from the officers afaterin. The situation of the barracks would be favorable, because a greater number of classes will be in Administration Building next fall. But he barracks do not belong to the army and it would have to be sought first."
"The cafeteria has been a success," said Miss Ruth Stevenson, who has been in charge. "We have tried to give the students the best food possible for the money and they have seemed satisfied, for dozens of them have asked if the cafeteria will be open again next year. Student sentiment seems to be strong in favor of having them sit in the cafeteria in the state that has no cafeteria and it seems a shame that K.U. has to be the last in being provided with necessities when it is the largest."
The Commerce Club will affiliate with one of the more active commercial clubs of Kansas City, Mo., according to Robert Albach, president of the club. Albach said plans for affiliating would be discussed at the annual dinner of the club at the Oread Cafe at 6 o'clock tonight.
Commerce Club to Unite With City Organization
"When the matter of getting together is finished with the Kansas City Club," said Albach, "we will be able to bring some good men to talk to us. Being as close to Kansas City as we are, it will be easy for the buniaries to tell that there comes to Lawrence for an evening. We also expect to go to the city for the more important meetings or speakers there."
It is the opinion of those on the committee to confer on the question, that if the students had begun to agitate for a cateraise before the yearly graduation, then sent to the state legislature, they might have had their wish granted.
