A student came into our shop yesterday and was met at the door by one of our porters. His hat and coat, collar and tie were taken and placed in the hat rack. He didn't know how to take it at first, and as he stepped into the chair, he exclaimed: "Just like the big show, it's class."

WOMEN MANAGED MEET
Dr. Goetz and Assistants Rar Girls' Basketball Tourney Without a Hitch
For the first time in K. U. history the girls' annual high school tournament was managed entirely by the women of the University, when seventeen teams of girls fought for the state basketball championship in Robinson Gym, last week. Dr. Alice Goetz was manager of the tournament.
Personal arrangements for rooms for every member of the visiting teams were made and the address and telephone number in order to answer continual inquiries about individual players. All officials were women. An emergency room was prepared Dr. Goetz's office at the University Haight, the University nurse, in attendance.
Miss Dora Sauer, physical director in the Pittsburgh Normal, assisted by Miss Haza Pratt, K. U. sport director and members of the sophomore basketball team and other women who have been awarded "A" letters acted as linesmen and scorekeepers. Each woman had a vestibular movement went off without a hitch. The refereeing was very satisfactory to all players and two of the teams, after losing, asked their referee to criticize their playing and give them advice
LOSERS CHEERED WINNERS
Absolute courtsey and good feeling prevailed. After each game the rooters for the losing team would cheer the winners. Hysterical excitement characteristic of other tournaments was lacking and the girls played with level-headedness, but the four black pillars gym rooms was not all that could be desired and the four long black pillars which stood up in the court caused many a groad as a ball, zipping down toward the other goal, hit one of the posts and bounced into another. The semi-finals were played on the large floor unstairs, however.
HOPE FOR "BIG BROTHERS"
Owing to the stricteness with which men were excluded the attendance was smaller than in the past. At one time while the Parsons girls were playing basketball, they were kicked by the Parsons men, when, standing outside the closed doors, these boys stood throughout the entire game rooting for their team which knew they were in action on the floor.
"In the games this year the extreme of allowing every man admittance was changed to the extreme of allowing only women," said Dr. Goetz. "Perhaps next year we can strike the happy medium and at least allow the boys, who have sisters and friends, admittance."
The University Club will give a smoker Wednesday night at 8:30 for Prof. G. Lowe Dickinson, of Cambridge University, England. All members of the University Club are invited.

Pan-hellenic Baseball Practice Begins; Season Opens April 7
The Pan-hellenic baseball schedule for 1916 has been issued. The Greeks have a hard spring before them and it will only be three weeks until the first games start. Meanwhile, Greeks will be playing catch in front of their various houses and on vacant lots if any happen to be handy.
On account of the increased size of the Pan-hellenic association a triangular division was made necessary. Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu and Acacia make up the first division. Phi Kappa Delta, Beta, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Tau and Sigma Delta constitute the second and Pi Kappa Alpha, Delta Tau Delta, Beta Theta Psi and Phi Gamma Delta make up the third group.
Each team will play one game with every other team in the group before May 18. After that time the winners of each group will get together for a triangular series to determine the championship. The arrangements for these games will be made later by the teams, so the dates of the winning teams will also have a right to determine the dates for the final series.
The scheduled dates for the games may be changed by consent of the managers of the opposing teams but all games must be played before a deadline is placed by that time will be forfeited or referred to the schedule committee.

PROVES MESCAL A POISON
decent Analyses Reveal Character of Mexican Drug
As a result of an analysis radd under the direction of Dean L. E. Saye of the School of Pharmacy, there is now pending - before the United States Senate, the U.S. Department of the Anti-Narcotic Bill. This provides certain restrictions on all habit-forming drugs, this bill proposes to prohibit the sale of a drug known as Anhalonium. It is obtained from a certain species of Mexican cactus, known as cactal, or Mercate, Pellote (or Pelote).
Some time ago there was sent to Dean Sayre samples of this drug, accompanied by a request for an analysis of the same and a report on the possible poisonous character. In appearance, the sample closely resembled the familiar Quaker "buttons" which contained schottches and abolished one per cent of poisonous allaloids. The effect upon animals gave a certain condition of muscular excitement and activity followed by a quiet sleep. The poison produces intense muscular spasm, followed by convulsions, resembling those caused by overdose of strychnine. When properly used, however, it is said to cause that account can be used as an agent to assist, as well as modify, the action of the well-known heart-tonic, digitalis.
From time immemorial, the Kiowa Indians of the Rio Grande have used these "buttons" during their religious ceremonies. The drug has a peculiar cerebral action, such as hallucinations attended by extraordinary
visual disturbances, characterized by an incessant flow of visions of infinite beauty and grandeur of both color and form. These are often followed after a time by the seeing of monsters, grotesque creatures or other unusual images. The loss of sense of time and partial anesthesia then follow.
The proposed Anti-Narcotic Bill provides for the registration of all those who import, produce, manufacture, dispense, sell or give away opium, cocoa leaves, their salts and preparations.
The object of the bill is intended to take out of the hands of irresponsible agents, the free circulation and distribution of all habit-forming drugs of a harmful and otherwise injurious nature.
