One of the features of the evening was a song written to the tune of Auld Lang Syne by Miss Harriet Gleissinger, one of the original composers. This song was sung at the dinner and for those who have never heard the history of old North College this gives a vivid description of all the trials and tribulations which the Fine Arts students endure there. This song was written in the design of the School of Fine Arts which is "A New Fine Arts Building."

Ernest R. Mower, '18 College, is very much wired owing to the fact that he has failed to find anyone besides himself who is excused for his failure. Ernest fears that he will be compelled to run the Daily Kansan all alone.
Sec. of State Board Rather Buy Now Than 50 Years Ago
"I would rather buy Kansas land today at $125 an acre, than to take it as the pioneers did at $1.25 fifty years ago.
"Kansas agriculture is not holding its own as far as the numbers of men working on it."
J. C. Mohler, Secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, summed up the situation in those words as students of the department of economics.
"The convenience that the farmer of today has at his hand, and the hardships that the pioneer had to face are the reasons why I would take the land at $125 today rather than at $1.25 fifty years ago."
"Machinery is taking the place of men on Kansas farms. The number of farmers in the state has not kept up with the increase in population in the last ten years. Yet we are farming a million more acres of land today,
co-armers in the state has not yet up with the increase in population in the last ten years. Yet we are farming a million more acres of land today.
"The great problem in Kansas agriculture is not the growing of crops but its something wrong with our present methods. The first thing to do is to get good roads. Co-operation may also help. Farmers are gradually coming to it. There are cases in the wheat belt where co-operative elevators have been able to save from five to seven cents a bushel for the farmers, yet made the elevators a profit of eight or ten per cent on the
"Yet Co-operative marketing has worked best when applied to fruit," said Mr. Moldier. "Cameronies might be better than apples, but the fruit crop that now goes to waste. The middleman gets a large part of the final price of an article, as things new stand, but I do not blame him for the failure of the middleman himself, if the system."
Minnie Moody '18 College, has adopted a little brown baby rabbit, just about six inches long. When she and some other women students stepped on a litter of the rabbits at the campus, they heard an awful squel, and upon examination, they found one of the infants was hurt. Miss Moody took it home with her and woke up every two hours during the night, when the baby was so much better that she decided to take it back to its bed

Change in Time

Prof. C. G. Dunlap of the department of English said, "I am in favor of the changed plan if every one concludes that we do not have to get up too early. You know we do not have any chickens or calves down at our house to feed early in the morning, so I do not want any chicken there, but that extra hour of sleep if I want it."
Prof. H, P. Cady of the department of chemistry says he is not in favor of turning the clocks up because of the tension which would arise as a result.
Prof. D, L. Patterson also favors the proposed change in time if uniformly and

So Pi Poses for a Picture
Pi is a wonderful dog, no one doubts that. Pi goes to classes and like many students sleeps peacefully while the professors plod along trying to impress upon their young immature minds the importance of education. Pi is even better known to the students than the persons to whom the Student Day speakers refer. Pi Ups perhaps his popularity depends somewhat upon their ability to advertise. But that is not my story.
Pl found a new avocation this morning or was it a vocation? He appeared upon the third floor of the Administration Building, up among the wonderful masterpieces of the greatest of artists including the art students. The class in free hand drawing were badly in need of a model in spite of its offensive design an hour for posing. Pl, in bedly in the cash, consented to pase. And with his head on his paws he closed his eyes while the anxious artists drew his picture which will be added to the annual student's art exhibit to be opened to the University next week.
