WRITERS COMING FROM WEST
Dr. Eisenwein Thinks East Too Conservative to Produce Literature
"Kansas writers!" exclaimed Berg Eisenwein, former editor of Liz pincott's, and well known literar man, who lectured Wednesday in Praser chapel on the short-story. Why, Kansas writers are splendid! In it, for instance, tak William Allen White, "King of Boyville" one of the fine short-stories I ever read. It has charm and individuality that are dей lightful. I wanted to put it in a collar and get out of sixteen of the greatest shorts; Mr. Whithe consented, but those writers, the publishers of his placed such an exhortant price on it that I was forced to let it go.
This Way to Kansas
"We are looking not only to kansas, but to the whole West for great accomplishment in the short-story line," went to Mr. Esenwein. "We of the East are getting into the rut, that all older civilizations fall into sooner or later, and, freshness, individuality, and these are just what the Westerner has. Then look at the material the western writer has to work with. A great glamor of romance is over all that I think of the struggles of the first pioneers to request of the soil, their battles with the perils, their final victories. Why, your grandfathers, even your fathers, perhaps took part in this western movement, or at least have personal recollection of it. All this is great manners of short-story writer." Mr. Esenwein was more and more enthused, and there are telling what more he might have said if Prof. Merle Thorpe didn't stuck his head in the door just then, and glanced suggestively at the clock. So I took to the hint, and Mr. Esenwein, with a shake shake left the subject of the western short story, to consult the western menu card.
CHANCELOR TRAINS YOUNG BICYCLIST Golf Links Scene of Sport
Golf Links Scene of Sport
Besides his official duty of tending to the affairs of the large body of 2800 students, Chancellor Frank Strong has had one more task thrust upon his shoulders. "Little Chan-port" has a brand new bicycle that he is equipped with to manipulate correctly. "Big Chancey" was out on the golf links yesterday afternoon, minus coat and with his sleeves rolled up.
His official duty was to start "Let the Chancellor" on his "bike" safety at the top of the hill and then run along beside him to see that he reached the bottom safely and right side up.
At the close of the try-outs, "Little Chancellor" was showing _great_ improvement, notwithstanding the sore elbows.

FISHERMEN GET JAWS OF MASTODON IN MUD
Dr. Snow Drags Out Catch
The following is the story of the finding of the Mastodon jaws which are now on exhibit in the Museum as by the late N. P. Deming of Lawrences and H. T. Martin, assistant curator of the department of paleontology:
One summer's day in the early history of the University, a party of fishermen composed of Dr. F.H. Snow, Chancellor John Fraser, and the late N. P. Deming, the narrator, biked on to Wakarusa creek fishing, took a bag of fish had already secured the contest for the biggest catch, determined to reach deeper water, stepped onto what looked like an old tree stump. After fishing from this vantage point for some time, he suddenly slipped off the stump. Upon it to regain a footing on the slipper, he found that this supposed stump did not feel like wood. Naturally of an investigating nature he examined it more fully, and found to be a stony nature.
Flipping his fish pole to land, and disregarding the prospects of a muddy investigation, he rolled up his sleeves and tried to move the object nearer the bank, this feat proved too much for his strength, so calling his company the catch and they finally landed the Doctor's joy, that he had discovered a nifient pair of under jaws of the early Mastodon that used to room around Lawrence in the Pleiotocene period. Although late in the day, the specimen was not satisfied to leave the specimen on night, but hurried to town, secured it to a safe repositer. This was probably one of the first important specimens, and perhaps the starter towards the now famous paleontological collection housed in the Natural History Museum. The specimen can be seen in the top floor, the room, on the top floor of the Museum, at the south end of tall case No. 37.
BETAS PROTEST GAME
WITH THE PHI DELTIS

The Fund Will be Revolving
A student loan fund of $60,000 will be available to self-supporting men and women of the University of Kansas in sums not to exceed $100 at a small rate of interest if the plans of a committee composed of Registrar George O. Foster, Prof. E. F. Engel, and Conrad Hoffmann appointed by the Board of Administration for the purpose, succeed.
Students and faculty of the University will be asked to contribute and after that a state wide campaign will be made. One alumnus is ready to add $1,000 to the fund. Careful record of all contributions will be kept. The work of collecting the money will start Monday.
The need of the loan fund has been emphasized by the fact that forty-six students are known to have left the University because of a lack or employment. Perhaps many other students to leave for the same reason but the authorities of the University have no information regarding them.
Students of the University will be invited to contribute in sums of fifty cents or more. Subscription papers will be found in all class rooms next week. The committee plans to ask every high school in the state to establish a local fund for the benefit of their own worthy graduates. Kansas municipalities will be invited to aid their young men and women.
Banks Help
Local banks have made known their confidence in the students by establishing special loan funds, the money to be secured upon the recommendation of the Registrar. Four students are now enjoying the benefits of this courtesy who otherwise would have left school.
The plan of the Board of Administration is to start a like fund in all the other state institutions. Plans will be worked out for the cooperation of all students under its control in Kansas. Freshmen are eligible for loans after they have been enrolled in a university one semester. Students so far this year have earned $16,149.
