GET INTO YOUR CRATE
If It's On Wheels And Has a Motor, You'll Get Along Quite Safely at the Gym
IT WAS ONLY A CRUSH
And How One Freshman Asks,
"What Then Is a Rush?"
Show Him, Sophs!
"Quit yer pushin," said the elephant, addressing the flea who was just behind him as the animals were going into the ark.
But the mass of students who were lined up in front of the Gym Tuesday morning from six o'clock until eight, waiting for the doors to open, had really more right to complain than they were. They were all elephants and no fleas!
The delay in opening the doors promptly at eight o'clock caused the students to lose not only their footing in the jam, but their patience as well. Contrary to the usual custom, only one of the double doors was opened. This allowed only a few to enter at a time, and the other door was opened of at the different doors. The result was that the funnel filled up at an appalling rate.
"O-h," long and drawn out and the whole mass swayed backward as if the last breath were being squeezed out of it. "U-h," long and drawn out—and the mob swayed forward, taking in the lost breath as it went.
Shortly after eight o'clock, the students began unconsciously to crowd and the mass swayed backward and told them not to move. Who would tell whether he was going or coming?
GREEN WITH FALL BONNETS FIRST
Many new fall bonnetes were held in the workshop, but not their shape. Catalogs and papers were creased in many folds. Even arms akimbo could not ward off the invasion of other people's ribs.
OH FOR A CRATE!
"Believe me, boy," remarked one being jammed, "the only way one could avoid being mashed like this would be to crate up! Next year I have a cage on wheels with a motor inside."
"That's a good idea," agreed one whose chin rested affectionately on the shoulder of the speaker. "But when I get mine, I'll have it cut off at the knees and use my legs for a propellant. Crates ought to be circular, if some come into style, and then you could hit roll right around the other fellow."
"The only thing that makes me sure of getting out alive," said another golemly, "is the fact that I carry life." This is true for most companies always get the best of it.
"If this was nothing but a crash," a freshman after it was all over, "pran was going to jail."
"Next year, I'll pay the dollar fine for enrolling late, and avoid this jam," said another freshman wise for his years.
But it's all over now—or nearly so; and maybe as a result some sufferer will be spurred into taking up Dean Templin on his last year's offer of a laurel wreath, or something of the same kind. You can't produce full-flow, right out of his Jovian brow—to wit, cranial receptacle—a registration and enrollment system that will do all the work without pestering out hapless faculty and our helpless studies. Goodness knows not all students are of that simple waste! How shall the football be cheered to on vitecy by ranks depleted of their youthful energies at the very start! It isn't bad enough that classes and books already demand a shocking amount of time? How shall they sleep, and three meals a day, leave for such important things as fraternity rushing (athletics, parties, balls, and the like, only a decimated twenty-four hours)? How is a busy man to have an extra hour to flow—have to bear this added burden. It is too much Sir—too much!
K. U. STUDENT READS
FIRST EDT. HOWE LOCALS
Few students there are in the department of journalism at K. U. who have had the privilege of reading over the old files of one of Ed. Howe's first papers, "The Golden Globe," but such was the privilege of Estella Foster, who, with a number of friends motor out to Colorado during the summer.
The party stopped at Golden Globe, and Miss Foster took a special interment.
"I never saw such daring articles in print," said Miss Foster in speaking of the locals. "Ed. Howe wasn't able to attack any person or any organization."
Journalism evidently has plenty of thrills for anyone who isn't afraid to try.

"CAUGHT ALL THE LAW ALLOWED"—HAMILTON
Weaver's
Coach Had Good Vacation
William "Omar" Hamilton, manager of athletics, returned late last week from his fifth consecutive fishing trip to Cable, Wis. He made a trip by motor car and was accompanied by his family.
"We never failed to catch all the law allowed," said the athletic mentor, when asked about his luck; but to make his fish stories stick he sent them to friends here during the summer. The Wisconsin game law provides that no one shall be caught with more than fifteen fish on their person at any one time. Mr. Hamilton's biggest day's catch was twenty-one pike and eleven
The Hamiltonls left here at the close of the summer school and spent seven weeks in the north. On their return they visited Missouri. Mo., for a visit with Mrs. Hamilton
For the last seven years W. C. Lansdon, former manager of athletics at K. U. and now Democratic candidate for governor, has been going on the summer fishing trip with Mr. Hamilton but this year Mr. Lansdon left the fishing grounds a few days before his successor arrived.
Joseph Heimbach, a student in the School of Engineering last year, will not be back this fall. He is an assistant in Powder Company at Tulsa, Okla.
