Journalism Students Not Connected With Hoot Owl (Continued from page 1)
sheet was put out at the time when there were visitors at the University from all parts of Kansas. It is not only a reflection on the department of journalism, but the name of the University of Kansas has been damaged. The attempt at wit on the part of the editors was disgusting. In fact the type that was used appeals only to a few of the coarser minds of students in the University. Most of the students put their brand upon such publications about three years ago when the old Sour Owl was made into a respectable sheet and was no longer anonymous."
It has also been suggested by some of the men in the University who seem to know considerable about the publication that there was an officer of the Student Army Training Corps who assisted in getting out the Hoot Owl. According to Lieut. Frank J. Cramer, commanding officer of Section A, this assumption is absolutely absurd. He said this morning that the officers were in no way connected with the publication. "The whole paper was small town stuff." said Lieutenant Cramer. "What I think of the sheet wouldn't do to publish."
As They Dance at K. U.
—Old Timer Discourses
"I had hoped," remarked the Old Timer as he cooled into a chair at an 8 o'clock class, "I had hoped that the
military would improve the posture of the men of the University in the dance."
"You went to the W,
S. G. A. dance Thursday night then and were disappointed?" replied the Dimped Senior who is making great progress with the handicap of good looks.
Jack-knife "Yes, you said it."
Repulsed the Old Timer. "I unhinder
nated and went to shake the festive foot the last night on record to date. I vent, hoping, as I ejaculated at the beginning of this diatribe, that Napoletone strategy ballistics, or whatever it is they teach in the S. A. T. G., would have taken them into sneakouts, that I would find a manly, upright, bunch, straight and stiff as a ramrod, graceful and erect."
The Dimpled Senior yawned openly. She had known the Old Timer four sweet years. The Timer sat between them—not even the yawn furtive.
"You smile broadly," added the Old Timer, counting the cusps on her third molar, left side of the jaw, for she had cut one wisdom tooth. "You smile broadly but I do not wonder. I admit it I have a very pretty wit."
"But on with the dance, as the freshman all must say. Instead of a bunch of erect, upstanding young men I found the same old bunch of dromedaries and camels. There wasn't one man in a hundred who adopted the perpendicular as an attitude for dancing. Those who didn't bend in the middle 'raced' back or leaned forward. Some of those fellows had more joints than a snake, the way they bent.
"The number of salients on the
west front in France didn't equal by half the salients on the west front of some of those fellows. How a man can bend three times at the waist beats me. I have a very good figure, but I can bend only once at waist." why doesn't this teacher come?" said the Pimped Senior. "Never mind a more pollywog."
"Never mind a mere pedagog," replied O. T.
"but, got wisdom, hy
Camel "but get wisdom" my listening to me. Most women dance gracefully, but practically every man in the University gives a first rate interview of a woman in prom andromeda when he dresses. Each one of them seems to think he is a regular old he-Venus, too, but I'm telling—"
The belated instructor appeared.

BARRACKS ROW AT K. U.
To house the men or its army camp the university has had to build twelve barracks, all of regulation army dimensions and equipment. Eight of these barracks were built on Mississippi Street at the north end of the campus. They are quarters for the collegiate section of the S. A. T. C. Three barracks were built on the Hill between the engineering buildings and they house the vocational train-ing school. A twelfth building was built near University's hospital in Rosedale as quarters for the Medical School upper classmen who take their work there.
