K. U. STUDENTS WRITE CRITICISMS FOR PRIZE
That it is possible for some young woman of the University to win one of the prizes offered by the Houston,uffin Company Boston, Bristol and Curtis Official Silbert Cather's novel, "The Song of the Lark" by an undergraduate woman student of an American college was shown today when four of Professor Hopkin's class in literature criticism started work on the novel.
Professor Hopkins said today that these young women have as good a chance as any of the women in the colleges of the country because with the thousands of essays that will be presented to them, direct ones have been eliminated the matter of picking out the best ones will lie largely in the attitude of the reader at the moment that he holds the essay. There are no rules and no indications of the qualities that may be expected from the winner of the prize will win through the use of clearness, correctness and pleasing terminology. As the criticism is to contain only a thousand words, the task of preparing an excellent essay not be more important for carrying an ordinary amount of work.
The essay will be on the study of and a reaction from the character of Thea Kronberg, the main actor in the story.
FAME OF MacMURRAY'S CLASS ATTRACTS MANY
Prof, Arthur MacMurray has found that it is not a class in dramatic art that he is conducting every Tuesday afternoon, as he originally intended, but a select little matinee company.
The class in dramatic art has been putting on little one act plays and fares for its class work for several weeks. So enthusiastic has the class become over the work, that the fame of the meetings has spread, and every Tuesday afternoon finds a few visitors, who drop in for the matinee.
Axel Johnson, who was a member of the graduate class of 088 and who later obtained his Ph. D. degree at the University of Wisconsin, was visiting on Mt. Oread last week. Mr. Johnson is now holding a position in the civil service work as superintendent of a large Indian reserve in Nebraska.
If the number of visitors continues to increase at present rate the class will be sorely tempted to charge a slight admission free. Complete playettes are given, and the students are invited to perform for them even to their make-up and properties. Visitors are quite welcome, Professor MacMurray says.
Southwestern College of Winfield began an endowment campaign for $60,000 in Cowley county. The movement is already under way and the business men of Winfield are rallying to the support of the college's endowment dollars. The campaign is necessary in order that Southwestern may maintain its standing as an 'A' grade college, whose degrees will be recognized by other institutions in the state. Winfield students will be standing of the college and will probably give $50,000 toward the fund.

PROFESSOR TWITS OF LOVE
"The trials of the professor are many," said Professor Twenhoef the other day. "At this instant," he continued, "I have the attention of only a small portion of the class. Some of you are in love, some of you have a sort of 'bovine' expression on your faces, and some of you are sleepy."

The trouble with Pi is that he cannot decide with which dean, that of the College or of the Law department; but if he is the Pi Upision house dog—has been attending for the most part classes in history and law pleadings, but because of the refusal of the night librarian to permit his browsing in parts of the reading rooms he has read, he will be invited to history. Pi has now limited his field of study to Public Speaking, dramatics and criminal proceedings.
THE SON WAS STRONG
Young Frank, jr., son of the Chancellor, stood on the high bank next to the Oread Training School hurling small missiles—the they were quite large for Frank, jr—at two neighbor children who hurled back fitting epithets. "I'll show you I can throw," came from the Chancellor's youngest and he sent a clod about one of his neighbors in front of the children decided they were needed within their own house. The next day workmen were seen beautifying the campus along the bank on Louisiana by removing all stones.
