Acacia Fraternity Buys Old Woodward Property Opposite Chancellor's
building Will be Repaired and Remodeled for Occupancy Next School Year
The Acacia fraternity has bought "Brynwood," the house and grounds on Fourteenth Street across from Spooner Library, and the Chancellor's home from Mrs. E. P. D. Wooden and will live in the house next year.
Purchase of the place was completed late Tuesday afternoon. Improvements will be made on the house this summer to fit it for a fraternity home, and according to officers of the fraternity, the chapter will move into it by the beginning of school next fall.
This property, which has been the property of the Woodward family for more than thirty years, was offered by the University of Florida Woodward and family now live in Florida most of the time. The house was built by Brinton W. Woodward and is famous historically for art and architecture as a beauty center of Lawrence.
The collection of about fifty paintings has been of special interest to University art students, who have been allowed freely to visit the art gallery. It is reputed one of the best private art galleries in the west, see collection 127. The collection collected by Brinton Woodward in Europe and America.
In the library are bound volumes of Harper's, Scribner's, and Atlantic Monthly magazines, complete from the first copy to date. There are supposed to be only two complete collections of Harper's Magazine in existence, the other one being in New York and Chicago. The majority those of American, French, and English poetry, is reputed one of the best in the country.
"The traditions and history of the place," said B. W. Woodward, son of Mr. Woodward who built the house, "we feel can be well preserved in having it a fraternity house. The purchasers have shown their intention to retain the name so it could because the word means 'wooded hill' and because it embodies the first syllables of my father's first and last names."

Track In Fine Shape Promising Fast Time In Triple Meet Friday
Kansas Hopes to Re-Establish Honors in Relay - Welty Expected to Win Vault
The weather man treated Mount Oread well Tuesday and Wednesday, and if the sky continues clear, McCook Field will see the fastest track time of the Valley Conference this season Friday afternoon.
Coach Hamilton's track men have been working out well this week, and expect to run away with a winning margin in the meet, but it is not likely that K. U. will leave the Aggies so far behind that they cannot trim the Haskell Indians. The Aggies will be keyed up tight by the fact of having two separate opponents, and the Jayhawkers will be put to their at start. They also two track stars Gallagher and Evans, from firsts in their events, the dashes and the hurdles. Manhattan's best in the pole vault has only done 11 feet 3 inches, so Wetty ought to top him by a few inches for five points.
2-Sentence Happ'nings
Kansas has had hard luck with the relay in the last two meetings, but Hamilton has now had time properly to work out Duff, his new quarter man, Cliff, and O'Leary working right, this event ought to be a walkaway.

Plan to Improve Kansas River
Plan to Improve Kansas
Plans for improvements against floods on the Kansas River, to cost approximately $150,000, have just been approved by the State Water Commission of which Prof. H. A. Rice of the School of Engineering is secreting the letters will be inaugurated in height 5½ feet for a distance of about ten miles, from the mouth of the Kaw at Kansas City to Turner, and the river will be dredged.

THE FIRST HONOR MAN
And Brutus is an honorable man.
So are they all, all honorable men.
— Shakespeare.
THE FIRST HONOR MAN
The bacteriology lab's bunnies have been disappearing at an alarming rate recently, as their paws are out of doors and easily accessible. But the keeper hopes the new owner's pets, as all the rabbits have been infected with some sort of disease for experimental purposes.
"The University faces two vital questions besides which the honor system pales in insignificance," said Mrs. Gomez, who these is. How many girls — excuse me — women, of the University of Kansas are addicted to the pernicious habit of body talk? And how many sexes also carry powder puffs?"
Harry Stewart was making a speech on woman suffrage in extempore speaking class. Two students, attracted by his voice as they passed Green Hall, stopped to listen. Soon two more came, then till a crowd has collected. The young orator was inspired by his increasing interest in the subject of flowery. When he concluded, the extra audience went away, and his real audience would never have known had he not told them.
Convocation speaker: "There is honor even among thieves." That impolite speech was unacceptable.
Van, the animal keeper, kept stairway away from a group of woman students who were working overtime on the side of the hill the other night. and made terrible inseeds on the sack bread he was taking to the animals.

Foster walked, and Lonborg singled to right field scoring Bunn. Foster was run down between third and home. This finished the scoring up the ninth, although missed several good chances to score.
The Agries came back in their half of the first. Foltz was an easy out, Slawson to Harms, but Cowell singled up. He had a drive to right, Cowell scoring when Oyster failed to throw to the plate. This was all of the scoring for Clevenger's men, although they had several good chances to count. In the second round, Cowell one out, Clark hit to Slawson who threw the runner out at the plate.
Oyster opened the ninth by getting a life on Clarke's error at first. Harmus bunted and both men were safe when Otto threw late to second. Both men advanced on a wild pitch, and Oyster scored on Siawson's hit to first. Clarke threw to the plate but Oyster slid safely in with the winning run.
