UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS MONDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 26, 1919.
"We will not be able to pay the money out until about Thursday," said Mr. Klooz today. "Under the present requirements I am requested to send all the money that I receive to the state auditor's office and then pay them directly from me to the man. This, however, would be a very inconvenient arrangement for both our office and the men themselves so we are trying to arrange to pay the men directly from this office. James A. Kimbail, business manager of the Board of Administration is making arrangements with the state auditor to pay the man possible for the men to be paid at least by the end of the week."
As to the navy subsistence money, Mr. Klooz said, "we are expecting to receive the money any day. I was expected to receive it in Chicago last week that the money would be sent on or before June 1 at the latest. The pay has been delayed. The men have raised and we will not be paid until that argument is settled."

Uncle Jimmy Back to Work
"Uncle Jimmy" Green is back on the hill today, and is meeting his classes. He was ill at his home all last week, but is feeling much better now. He hopes to remain throughout the term now. He said that it will take old friends to be back and last week seemed like a month to him.
THAT TIRED FEELING
Yet more attention has been called to spring weather and spring noises and spring sights than to the big feature of the vernal equinox —spring fever. Every blade of grass has been immortalized and every spring sunset painted on imperishable canvases. Poets have been telling people about the birds and the flowers now for several thousand springs, and everyone talks about the "lovely weather we're having," just as a habit.
Gawah, doesn't springtime make you lazy? You can't seem to think or—ho hum—do anything. You think more about your spring fever than you do of spring, and you think about lessons hardly at all.
Ho hum! St-r-r-etch! Ya-a-awn!
But that strehy, lazy, no-account feeling is uppermost in every student's cosmos just now. He doesn't care if final quizzes are approaching or if his finances are getting low; all he really wants is to lie out in the grass and look at nothing and think about nothing. It's such a delicious sensation, but the writers would rather talk about things that don't interest him at all.
So when the Kansan decided to issue a spring number it was thought best to avoid competing with Homer, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Browning and the modern lyricists who have dealt with the spring question quite satisfactorily. It was decided to spring something new, as it were.
And here it is—the Spring Fever Number. It doesn't aim to instruct or even to entertain. The ida is merely to give the annual pre-summer sleeping sickness the publicity it has long merited.
Mother Goose's Family Dances For May Queen
Ho hum! Ya-a-awn! Let's call it a day.
Torch Attendants Crown Kath
erine Fulkerson, c '19
Queen of Fete
The May Queen revealed her identity to her audience at the May Fete Saturday afternoon. Jack and Jill, both 18 years old, Little Boy Blue trying to call his sheep home. The sun was bright, the natural amphitheater of the golf links formed a splendid setting for Fete. The "stage" was wiped off.
Katherine Fulkerson, May Queen, was crowned by her attendants, the members of Torch. Before she entered, a herald followed by two small attendants, announced her coming with his bugle. Then came a small girl, carrying the crown on a pillow. The Torch attendants, dressed in Green robes, formed an aisle of chairs to wait for her coronation. After the coronation, maypole dances in her honor were given on the green.
Just as the maypole dances were over, Mother Goose cane running down the hillside, followed by her children. She entered the Queen's cellar, where she and entertain them. She finally conceived, and one by one sent for the children—who came in and danced before the Queen. Berrice Bridges and other students of the others were children of University instructors and of townpeople.

Little Bo-Peep, Boy Blue, Taffy Was a Welshman, Little Miss Muffet Tom, Tom the Piper's Son, Peter the Piper's Wife, and Humpty-Dumpty were there. After Humpty-Dumpty was dragged out by her horses, Mother Goose showed the children her old Shoe, which held her whole family. They all skipped through the shoe, came onto the green in a grand finale.
"We are indebted to Professor Nevin for composing the music," said Miss Hazel Allen, one of the managers of the Fete. "It could not have been nearly so effective without those in mind: nursery rhymes, put, to music."
Margaret Walker, who had charge of the ticket sales, said this morning: "The receipts will be some where around the X. W. C. A."
Jack and Jill, lead by Eloise McNutt and Charlotte Carmine, can first. They were announced by the chorus at the event and put to music by Prof. Arthur Nayim.

Plain Tales From the Hill
One
Of my profs
Is running around
Making commencement addresses.
Occasionally
He misses trains,
For which I am devotedly grateful
do hope that
The high school children
Survive his discourses
On the economic history of the United States.
I have heard him all quarter,
And they will only
Have to listen to him
Once
But goodness knows
THE SPIRIT OF MAX
The Kaw presents a pleasant scene
The teacher's face is not so keen—
I gaze afar, and deeply sigh
And fail to note his threatening eye.
He jumps me, and with flendish gite
Concludes that he has finished me,
My spirits do not sink at all—
I'd rather do nothing but wait till
TO WORK
Spring doth make boneheads of us all. If doubtful, inquire of "the man higher up." Superintendent of buildings and grounds, who made a date with three girls, not one but three for Sunday morning at the romantic hour of six o'clock and then sleep through it, and then watch calls by the young ladies until the prosocial hour of nine. Ah, well, pride goeth before and sleep cometh after.
Speaking of cigarettes (which nobody did), if an expert crap shooter should invade Green Hall steps, how many "laws" could he break?
THE SYMPTOMS
Slow pulse.
Desire to be left alone.
Drowninginess.
Craving for eclairs.
Haired for profs.
Desire for recumbency.
Feeling of uselessness.
What's enough. You know how feels.

Tango Hounds Desert Women When W. S.G. A. Raids Mid-Week Dances
Disciplinary Committee Punishes Three Women, but the Men All Get Away
Blight Hits Wall Flowers
Spectators at Unauthorized Dances Will be Punished—Miss Corbin Becomes Strategist
"Tango hounds and lounge lizards first," has reversed the proud Anglo-Saxon, "women and children first," when students at forbidden dances seek to escape a raid by University authorities. Three deserted University maidens told the Disciplinary Committee Friday why they failed to escape the raid on the dance at Eagles' Hall last Wednesday night, when the woman's Student Government Association, Miss Albert Corbin, adviser of women, slipped past the dance lookouts and entered the hall.
In the general rush for the fire escapes the men students pushed aside or deserted the women, crowded onto the fire escapes and got away. About nine students escaped. Not a man in the house had didn't stick, but deserted the women.
The Disciplinary Committee decided that the three women should attend no more dances, except in their homes, until November 15. One of the three is a College senior. The other two are College and Fine Arts juniors. The Disciplinary Committee also issued a warning that attendance as a spectator at any midweek event was considered as strongly as dancing at a forbidden hon, and would be punished in a like deevee.
"I started to run" said one of the women students, "before I saw the
"Because the man I was with started to run." she relied.
"Why did you do that?" asked a member of the Diocrelinary Commit-
Apparently her escort outran her. Four members of the W.S.G.A. council are letter women and were represented among the raiders who with Miss Corbin slipped up to Eagles' Hall last Wednesday night in a train. The small boys who were standing before the hall as lecquits had not been told to suspect raiders in a taxi, and the raiders were at the entrance of the hall before their identity was discovered. Two small boys tried to dart past and up the stairs to give the alarm. A letter woman tripped them neatly and the raiding party came into the hall without the dancers having been advised of their presence. But as a crowd flared quick enough for the tango hounds who crowded the women inside and got away down the fire escape.
