WOMEN FIND BULL'S-EYE
Shooting at Target Every Afte
noon Develops a Few Stars
Swish! and an arrow quivered in the middle of the bull's-eye target placed near the end of the women's gym. The women archers are becoming so apt in their aim that a target on the wall provides safety near the big target which catches many of the arrows showed toward its broad front. Some evenings at the 4:30 practice hour, twenty upperclass women will be standing the required 140 feet from the target using both b-eye and pulling the lance wood bow.
This continual daily practice under the direction of Ella Hawkins, champion of last year's archery contest, will come to a final climax sometime in May when the different contestants will use their aiming abilities in striving to gain the silver trophy cup now on display in Dr. Goetz's office.
When the women reach the never-miss mark instead of using the small bows, the big five foot arrow senders will be used. These larger bowres handle better in rough terrains when they are strung. When the gentle Kansas zephers get to toe疼 the archers find it necessary to discontinue practice if the target cannot be placed in some shattered spot. The archers often use a torture, but in spite of their difficulties Miss Hawkins believes the women will become real "sportsmen."

TO SMOKE COB PIPES
Sophomores to Step Forth With Missouri Meerschaums at Mixer
The sophomores will hold the first one of their bimonthly get-together meetings, Tuesday, April 18, at Eagles' Hall. The affair will be known as a Corn Cob Mixer and the price has been cut down to a dime.
"Prof. Merle Thorpe made a plea for more epen when he spoke at our last smoker," said Bill Koester, chairman of the social committee this morning, "and his appeal had the desired effect." He also argued to have a smoker every two weeks until school closes. They will not be as elaborate as heretofore from the standpoint of eats and smokes, but they will be featured by clever programs and plenty of good fellowship which after all is what we are after. At the mixer next Tuesday each person will receive a pairpipe which he is supposed to fill with his own "makins." Fifteen prominent faculty men will be there and some representative seniors will be invited. During the evening several new Kansas songs together with a new sophomore song, will be taught those present, by a member of the Fairs Arts Department, who will down. A boxing match and the Glee Club are also on the program, together with some good speeches.

Greatest Conglomeration of Inconsistencies Ever Invented Says Prof. Palmblad
The Cheerleader amendment to the constitution of the council which was to have been voted upon at a mass vote and then rebound upon by ballot at convocation next Friday morning. Special balloons will be given to every man in the audience and monitors stationed at the doors to collect them when convocation is over. The president, as many men as possible be present to vote upon the amendment.
The reservoir of the Nacaca electric plant, which supplies the City of Mexico with power, is accounted one of the greatest engineering feats in the last century and ranks with the Great American acres, and was opened in 1913, although the country was torn by civil strife at the time.
The greatest conglomeration of in consistencies that was ever invented. That is how H. E. Palmblad, in 1849, described the German, describes the English, languages.
"There is no reason," he says, "why everybody should spell alike any more than why they should dress alike or walk alike. There is at the present time no uniformity of spelling as is shown by the various ways of spelling 'chancellor', 'catalogue,' and other words."
"English spelling is supposed by some to show derivation of words. The persons interested are those who do not need the spelling to show the derivation, but still we make the nine hundred and ninety-nine spend long time on it. But a rhetorical benefit of the one out of every thousand who is interested in it for derivation. The help of modern English spelling for derivation often conceals the etymology as well as reveals it. At once time it was thought that the English word 'foreign' had some connection with the Latin word 'regnum', which it does not. Dr. J.P. Coyle writes: 'I am 'island' with an 's' because he thought it had something to do with the Latin word 'insula,' which it does not.
"There is no etymological reason for having the 'h' in 'ghost'; no logical reason for having the last syllable in 'succeed' spelled one way and that of 'concee' another. If 'receipt' should be spelled with a 'p' to show its derivation from the Latin 'receptum', then to be consistent we ought to spell 'deceive' with a 'p' which is derived from the Latin 'deceptum'. But we consider the Latin 'deceptum' as pairs of words alike as illiterate, and a vart amount of time is spent in *la* the schools to make our children observe a uniformity which is not uniform.
This advocate of reformed spelling says that "pronunciation should be the basis of all spelling, as it was originally. The divergence of English spelling from its pronunciation is largely due to the fact that pronunciation changes but we fail to let the spelling change with the aid of pronunciation. The idea that good spelling and a good education go hand in hand is a misconception dating back from the time when only a few were able to read and write and were acquainted with the English writings of the time. Today so-called 'correct spelling' means the memorizing of certain combinations of letters forced by the development of pupils, and it is no more a sign of culture than the ability to repeat rules of conduct from a book of etiquette is a proof of good reading."
FACULTY ALUMNI MEET
Will Decide Fate of Annual Commencement Dinner Today
Prof. L. N. Flint, secretary of the University of Kansas Alumni Association, yesterday called a meeting of the alumni on the University faculty to be held at 4:30 o'clock today. It will be decided at this time, Mr. Flint expects, whether there will be an alumni dinner as part of the commencement week festivities this year. The alumni are required to attend State Auditor, and S. M. Brewster, Attorney General, that the money paid by K. U. seniors to defray commencement entertainment expenses, could not be legally used to pay for the annual alumni dinner, Mr. Flint, through the Graduate Magazine asked the sentiment of the alumni concerning the continuation of the dinner as a paid affair. What response has come in has been favorable. A final decision probably be made at this afternoon's meeting.
SSISTANT REGISTRAR FOR FALL SEMESTER
Greater efficiency in his office being one of Registrar George O. Foster's pets, he has already laid plans for a new assistant registrar, Miss Mann, who will take up her work July 13. The new manager, Miss Mann, the whole work of the office will be re-arranged so that it can be more quickly and easily done. All of the changes will be in force before the new fall term, so that the freshmen of next year may never know what it is to stand in line for their turn on the bus at the end of the semester nor to wait long minutes for the refund of their lab fees if they still have something coming at the end of their lab work.
