K. U. SENDS NOTES TOO
We Get Invitation, Flunk and Begging "billy doos"
The University of Kansas is as fond of sending notes as is the President. At some time or other we have all received them from the registrar's office. The first one came while we were in high school. It was full of advice, telling of the advantages and opportunities offered at the University.
Then the notes assumed a different character.
They were short and concise and told us that we were flunking gym or Spanish. And so through the University career these little bearers of good or evil are shot at us with rapid fire speed.
But when one gets through and goes out into the cold world, willing to forgive and forget, they still come. For example take Prof. N. P. Sherman, the dean of the technology. He is enrolled at the University in order to fill some requirements for Chicago University, where he was contemplating some advanced work. Accidentally his name fell among the list of those who had not re-enrolled in the program. And cordially in due time he received a very brotherly letter from the board, in which they inquired into his reason for not re-enrolling, and further informed him that if they could be any assistance in aiding him to return to college, they could do so. And Professor Sherwood is still one of the instructors at K. U.
To Give Classic Dance
"On with the dance! What care we for studious pursuits when we can dance before the Athenecum of Kansas City, say Helen Clark and Earl Boyd dance after afternoon at the annual breakfast given by the Womans Club of the Athenecum. The Polish Mazurka and 'Furlana,' a Venetian dance are to be given by Miss Clark and Mr. Metcaf together, after which Miss Clark will two solo dances, "Little Blue" and Shuker's "Moment Musical."
The honor of forwarding the first entry in the ninth annual interscholastic basketball tournament to be held on December 18, 1975, bison Hinson Gymnastics March 18-17, who is the instructor and coach of athletes at the Washington County high school. Hilton not only enclosed the required draft for two dollars but intimated that the team would put out of the race by the basketball team he brings to Lawrence.
First Basketball Entry In
A psychological mock initiation is the Utopia of all fraternity pledges, especially after the first semester, at the time when they are given what is expected of them. This initiation simply consists in making a freshman feel as though he had just been paddled, or had run the worst gaitlet without being touched. Most freshmen agree to this system because the strain which will be involved will be much easier than the present initiations.
The latest fad adopted by the sophomore men in the University of Utah is the wearing of ribbon wobs. These fobs have a black center with a thin piping of orange on each side, and a "gold runner" down the center.
DANCED UNTIL SUN UP

Junior Prom at K. U. are not what they used to be. Only six years ago the noted English ambassador, Sir James Bryce, attended the Junior Prom and fell asleep during the farse that was taken by the students of O'Leary's tells of this incident with much amusement; it is the only Junior Prom that he has ever attended.
But times have changed since then,
Dean J. W. Green of the School of
Law, "Uncle Jimmy," can remember
back much farther than most of the
children in his old home, the
students danced until sun up and
as they went home in the morning,
met all the working men going to
their day's labor.
"I am in favor of letting the young people dance as late as they want to on this occasion, for it is one to be remembered all the rest of their lives," says Uncle Jimmy. "Of course, I think small chances should close on me for that in the prior Patient I do not think that the hour of closing should be specified."
Until five years ago Uncle Jimmy himself used to dance. At that time the Grand March was much more elaborate, with many fancy figures, and square dances and quadrills were much in style. When criticism was aroused over the country on account of the expense of the Proms the woman was forced to accept flowers or cabs, and in this way the expense was greatly reduced.
"I remember one year when the sophomores tried to prevent the Prom from taking place," reminisced Dean Green, "They put a heavy coat of oil on the floor, and it was only through her eyes, who scrubbed on hands and knew all afternoon, that the floor was in any condition to be danced upon.
"Yes, times have changed," he concluded. "The year when Ambasador Bryce was here we started off the Prom with a Virginia Reel. I can almost see the look of horror that would come over the faces of the students of today if the Prom started off with a Virginia reel or a quadruille."

"I do not believe in giving too much publicity to our University parties. That is why we exaggerated idea of them, and attach more importance to them than we do ourselves. They think that our social life is the most important thing up here."
TO INSPECT COMPANY M
University Guards Make Perfect Record at Last Inspection
Captain F. E. Jones and Company M of the Kansas National Guard are not worrying much about the annual holiday when they will be held or the evening of March 9.
"We are not doing any extra drilling in preparation for the inspection," said Captain Jones yesterday. "We are doing our program and are not cramming any. Some companies hold an extra drill each week for several weeks before their inspection, in order to shine be light on the issue. Before to do the same amount of work all the time and have our inspection a fair estimate of our ability. And." The only company in the regiment was the only company demerit at the last annual inspection.
"We prefer not to hold any recruiting campaigns but leave the vacancies for those who are interested in the work," he explained.
The inspecting officers this year will be Captain Walter C. Swensen of the Twenty-First U. S. Infantry, who leads the department, and General Wilsher S. McKinnon, Kansas National Guard, who will inspect on behalf of the state. Company M now musters sixty-two men. This leaves room for about three more units, but Captain Jones is not making any special effort to fill the gaps.
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear. Except a creature be part coward it is not a compliment to say it is brave; it is merely a loose misapplication of word. Consider the flea!—incomprehensible creatures of God, if ignorance of fear were courage. Whether you are asleep or awake he will attack you, caring nothing for the fact that in bulk and strength you are to him as the massed armies of the earth to a giant island, at night and all day and nights in the very lap of peril and the immediate presence of death, and yet is no more afraid than is the man who walks the streets of the city that was threatened by an earthquake ten centuries beaten and killed by of Olive, Nelson, and Putnam as men as I know what fear was," we ought to always add the flea—and put him at the head of the list."—Mark Twain.
. THE COURAGEOUS FLEA
Three students of the School of Education were granted the University Teacher's Diploma at the meeting of the faculty of the school yesterday and three students were: Alvin C. Pummins, Florence Allop and Eunice Pleasant.

LIFE BOTH TRAGEDY AND
COMEDY SAYS MKEEVER
Dr. William A. McKeever will deliver the last of his series of lectures before the Y. M. and Y. W. C.'s A. of the University in Myers Hall at seven o'clock this evening. His subject be this The Dramatic event of Life." In his address "A life course," Keever will consider life in terms of comedy and tragedy. It is his belief that the ordinary individual thinks of life as a mere race for the guardon of success, which, when gained, will bring contentment and ease. Dr. William A. McKeever's most part consists of tragedy rather than comedy and that it is our duty to face the rebuffs and tasks that befall us in a manly manner.
"I am satisfied that we are making a fundamental error in our attempts to direct young men and women in efforts to to secure a success of their own work," Dr. Murtaji prefers to teach that the common life of man is certain to be filled with a certain amount of 'comedy' and a large amount of tragedy, and that he should help one who best works out this thrilling drama for his own personal career."
HEIZER TELLS CERCLE OF
LIFE IN CONSTANTINOPLE
"Everybody is first addressed in French in busy Constantinople, where all languages are heard in the streets at any time," said Ralph Heizer in a talk to the Cercle Francais at 4:30 Wednesday. "If one does not speak French he is spoken to in German, next in Turkish and so on."
Mr. Heizer, a student in the Law-
rence high school, is an American,
born in Constantinople. He lived
in Turkey and came to America to attend our
schools. He speaks many languages
fluently and the story of his life in
Constantinople given in French was
enjoyed by the many who attended.
Schwegler Will Lecture
Dr. R. A. Schwegler will give the first of a series of four lectures at Myers Hall on Thursday, March 9, at 7:15 p.m. m.

College spirit has come to have a for different meaning from those barbarous tactics which used to characterize it. It isn't necessary any more that a person be in the car or to march in a nightshift parade through the lobby of the principal hotel to become known as a person imbued with college spirit. Now college spirit has nobler meanings and attributes that to make so the ideal life.
COLLEGE SPIRIT
The Atlantic Monthly gives the following
tips on how to present this new kind of
writing styles.
Some men mean by college spirit something finer than lawlessness, dissipation and rowdyism. They mean that a student makes a student guard its good name by being manly and courteous in conduct at all times. They mean the sense of responsibility which aids a student in forming habits of temperate behavior, eagerness to make a grateful use of his opportunities which leads a student to keep his own body fit, his mind alert and thoughts pure. They mean that loyalty to a college which is offered through a scholarship, through which he gains intellectual power and enthusiasm, without which no graduate is an entire credit to any college; and finally, beyond commencement which shows a man that only through the rigid subordination of transient and trivial pleasure can he hope to become the only great victory a university ever expected to attain. In alumnus, working for the welfare of mankind.-Ohio State Lantern.
Chancellor Entertains
Chancellor and Mrs. Strong entertained Dr. D. C. Monroe at a luncheon given at their home today noon. Dr. Monroe is pastor of the Calvary Bapkery Kaman City, and is conducting the Chapel exercise of this week.
YEA, SPRING HAS CAME
For the Laws Have Begun Thei Annual Assemblage on Green Hall Steps
rmalat No MsaUw Sidhad *ecHwSH* "Sharp winter now gives way to gentle spring," quoth Horace some few thousand years ago, and then that ancient bard went on to give his evidence.
Today, on Mount Oread, spring has appeared, and again we have our old irrebuttable proof—the Laws are written in the green Hall in front of Green Hall! Between every class a hundred of them bask in the sun or relieve their pent-up emotions by drying out the mud. Above the Law Building float string waves of white smoky clouds wafted along by the rising winds, gentle or strong, according to weather conditions.
Are they storm clouds? Possibly, are from within the building comes a deep rumbling sound as of some irate professor vainly calling his class to take it over while the gentle One Hundred linger moment “to gaze upon ye lady faire.”
Yes, the disease is here, that form of spring fever so peculiar to the Lawrens, possibly we would all have them we were as fortunately situated as they are.
Mr. G, M. Hernandez of the Polytechnic College, Kansas City, and Dr. Agnes Riddell of the College of Emporia will speak before the Romance Round Table when the thirteenth annual convention of Kansas high schools and academies mets in Lawrence March 17-18.
