Prof. E. M. Hopkins, chancellor of the national organization made a statement in regard to the affiliation of Hopkins with the national writing fraternity of loose organization. "On account of the fact that the American College Quill refuses to throw over its name for the organization, these organizations have thus far been unsuccessful."
According to the Ohio State Lantern, the Ohio State University is suffering from a plague of toads. The amphibians are said to be everywhere over the campus, on the sidewalks and in the grass, so that it is difficult to keep from stepping on them. It is not reported that the toads hang from trees on silk threads, or crawl down peoples' necks however.
All members desiring a photograph of last year's club may obtain them from Prof. E. M. Hopkins for seventy-five cents.

Superior to That of Average Person Says Aggie Professor
Frank Strong.
Newspaper English is superior to that used by the average person. The newspaper is an unconscious but potent teacher of English, asserts Robyn Ritter that students should understand the English language in the Kansas State Agricultural College.
"Newpaper English," says Professor Conover, "is a phrase repeated with parrot like inflection by persons who have accepted it as an epithet applicable to any mistake in English that occurs in a newspaper. This phenomenon is its meaning common mistakes in the use of language. It was meant originally to describe a certain peculiarity in the use of language not restricted to newspapers, but reaching its worst and most absurd development in them. After this absurd, high scissors die suddenly and most of good taste was recognized and it has now disappeared except from the extreme provincial papers.
"Within recent years the use of schools of journalism and courses in journalism has come as the result of the feeling among older newspaper men for the profession of journalism should be put upon a professional basis.
"It may be said that there has been steady improvement in newspaper English. This is shown in clear, concise, and honest use of words; in simpler and more direct sentences, and in conscious attention to the higher or more difficult elements of style."
WOMEN'S ERA REACHES U
Will be on Student Day Program
Students of political science expect that woman will occupy her full sphere in the political field with the coming of equal suffrage. Without the aid of women's suffrage, the universities are setting the pace for the country by electing women to more responsible positions.
Two women are now presidents of classes in the University of Wisconsin.
A woman is to represent the College in the student day exercises here for the first time this year. For the first time in its history, the Daily Kansan was edited this semester by a woman.
After the rains last Sunday the air was so clear that a perfect view of the Kaw and Wakurasai valleys could be obtained from the Hill. There was none of the ordinaries, and objects stood out on the landscape with remarkable distinctness. At one point southeast of the campus, where the crest of the hill is said to be between fourteen buildings, two smaller objects could be distinguished so clearly that they did not appear to be more than two or three miles away.
About dusk every evening an interesting performance takes place around the big brick air flue at the building where they live. There are great many swallows who have evidently appropriated the chimney for their sleeping headquarters, dip and dive in and out of it in a sportive manner in a considerable time before they retire.
Dean L. E. Sayre, of the School of Pharmacy is in Kansas City this week attending the meetings of the Kansas State Pharmaceutical Association
"An excellent silk hat—just the thing you need, young men. How much am I offered?" shouted Harold Hall again of the steps of Green Hall this morning.
Y. W. C. A. held a "get acquainted" meeting at Myers Hall, Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Ida Perry, '16 College, read "Patsy," by Kate Douglas Wiggins. The reception committee served punch and wafers.
Up went the bidding until the hat brought the munificent price of two, fifty-five, five cents of which went to the auctioneer.

CURSES!! CIRCUS CANT CAPTURE COY CO-EDS.
Dislike Dainty Dressing Dens.
"No circus life for me," decided the fair participants in the May Fete Forty women with forty suit-cases attempted to dress, undress, redress and address in a 12 by 12 tent. The day was dark and warm. There was but one mirror. There was a window that fouly beauty spots to stick above forty? dimples and forty pairs of eyes to pencil. It wasn't "You're next," but "I'm next."
Above the chorus of, "Gimme a pin"
"This lip stick tastes like"

A musing muse amused herself knocking measuring worms from the Golden Butterfly as she hooked up the Rainbow. Meanwhile a Rose swayed and tossed in order to catch a glimpse of her youthful bloom, mirrored above the grape handledness of a Bacchante, to keep the ten faint shut while the High Priestess rehearsed lighting the incense. The overpowering odors overcame the Three Graces and the East Wind was hailed to revive her.
Between acts, that 12 by 12 was worse than ever, so why should our children be exposed?
THEY MOLD KANSAS CLAY
Fine Arts Students Work In
Haworth Hall
The class is just finishing a handsome "Alma Mater" lining cup for the K. U. Alumni club at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There are a number of loyal K. U. people at Pittsburg who have formed an Alma Mater club. They are prosperous enough to own a house and evidently they have retained considerable sentiment for K. U. at least they receive an order to travel to a department for a cup made of clay from Mount Orbend. All of the clay used in this department is of Kansas origin, most of it coming from near Hoisington.
This is where the advanced class in applied design works. Their particular feat is making cunning little ornaments, such as bowls, mugs, tea cups, trumpets and those of other truly artistic triumphs and all are extremely attractive.
Tacked off in the lower regions of Haworth功, wasting its sweetness on the desert air, is one of the most interesting laboratories on the
Miss M. L. Benson is the instructor in this department and has under her supervision Miss Schmidt, Elizabeth McCellan and Luella Corey. Miss McCellan is not enrolled in the University but comes from her home in Topeka on Tuesday and Thursday to take this course. Miss Schmidt graduates this spring and hopes to do interior decorating after leaving school. Miss Corey finishes this year and intends to teach home economics.
Because of the Pharmaceutical Association meetings in Kansas City this week the department of pharmacy is taking a vacation. Most of the faculty and a large number of the students in the department who are attending the meetings will not return until Thursday.
We have the largest assortment of "Local View" post cards in the city; also booklet of books and large books of books. Wolf's Book Store—Ady.

Sanitation, Convenience and Cost Will be Considered
As the result of recent and thorough canvass of the student rooming houses of Lawrence, lists of rooms are being prepared under the auspices of the University Health Service. The team will be available for consultation to those desiring rooms, upon application to the parties named below.
ROOMS ARE TO BE LISTED
The houses will be classified so far as possible according to conveniences, sanitation and service, so as to enable students the more readily to learn and to be acquainted to their ability to pay and their comfort are concerned.
L. S. Broughly
When completed the lists may be seen by consulting the following: Registrar George O. Foster; Huzo Kuguo; M. M. O. McGuffey; Miss Ann Gettens, secretary of the Y. W. C. A. and officers at the University hospital.
A K, U. Graduate Is Trying To Solve Problem
DYE CHEMISTS NEEDED
"The dye industry in this country s growing and the demand for dye chemists is steadily increasing," said department of chemistry, this morning.
New Board for Potter's
"The scarcity of dyes at present is due to the fact that all imports are out off and that brokers are holding them for higher prices. Fifty to seventy per cent of our dyes are imported. The annual output of dyes in the field is about 15,000 tons; mostly the staple colors. blue, red, etc.
"A K. U., graduate, Otto Mallus, 13, is at the Mellin Institute, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburg, Pa, where he expects to work with problems connected with coal tar distillation and the manufacture of dyes."
A new springboard for Potter Lake has been ordered by the department of physical education and will be put in place as soon as it arrives. The new board has been needed for some time as the one that is in place is cracked diagonally along its length and is on side. The new board will be in place before the water is warm enough for swimming to be popular with the majority.
Mrs. Taylor Riddle, of Marion, who has been visiting her daughter Helen, met Mrs. Taylor Riddle accompanied her mother to Topeka, where they will visit friends.
STUDENTS MAKE POTTERY
Geologists Test Samples of Kansas Clay
New samples of clays from various parts of the state have been received at the clay working laboratory in Haworth Hall, and are being analyzed and tested to discover their possible uses. There are also several students working upon clays that have been tested and found to be suitable for pottery.
The clay that is being used by these students is mostly from samples from the western and southwestern parts of the state. Samples that have been made to be good for pottery are being worked up into various kinds of earthware.
Because he "can't loose touch with the University," William Wiedemann, the proprietor of "Wiedie's" for forty-seven years, has sent us in a subscript to him, "and I am Wiedemann who has for years been so intimately connected with the students and their "dates" as they strolled into his confectionery, that row, since he has retired from business, he does not want to drop out of student life. He is very interested in that subject, that he may know what K. U. students, past and present are doing.
A small lump of clay from a mining district in Arkansas was left at Haworth Hall last week by a miner who had been working in that state. The samples that he carried were examined by one of the professors of mining engineering, and one of the lumps of clay greatly interested him, but none will be analyzed and burned in the pottery kiln of the clay laboratory. The results of the tests on other samples received lately are not ready to be published, according to Paul Tector, analyst in charge of the laboratory.
Students in the class of entomology took an excursion to the Wakurasra river Thursday afternoon in search of specimens upon which to practice their skills, and about 2100 from Snow Hall and did not return until late in the evening.
Even the life of a student of entomology has its drawbacks. While searching for bugs and other animal forms along the banks of the Wakaraura river Thursday some one stole seeds from the banks of dents so that when lunch came they were forced to the simple menu of wienies and bananas.
The May Convocation will be held Friday, May 19 at 10:30, and will be in charge of the Student Government associations.

Mr. Professor, was it your wife talking, probably with bowed head? Was she lamenting the fact that the house in which you are now living is not your own?
Was It Your Wife?
"No, We Are Renting"
Of all sad words of tongue or—etc., etc. Really, those are sad ones.
I have the lots in the University Place Addition—just where you want to be—two blocks south of the campus, on the car line, away from the noisy part of town, connected with water, gas and sewer. I am willing to build you the kind of a home you and your wife have been dreaming about; build it just the way you plan it; build it exactly according to your specifications—and allow you to pay for it in small monthly installments, amounting to a little more each month than rent. If you are interested in progressing, we had better get together right away and in a few years
Let's Build Together
Call me up tomorrow on the phone and then stop in and let's talk the matter over. We are both concerned.
