THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 1910
The students who were guilty of disturbance of the peace in the Bowersock opera house a few weeks ago, have been haled before the student council, where a metaphorical slap on the wrist was administered to each of the culprits. And the council—all this was on the same evening, mind you—issued an edict that the next student who shoots a peanut shell will get two slaps on the wrist, also metaphorical, of course. It is high time that the reign of the "roughnecks" was ended at the University and it can't be said that the action of the student council was one bit too drastic.
Everybody who knows about athletics, in a discussion of athletic contests always has something to say about the way that "rooting" helps a team. The fact that a trainload of students will go down to Kansas City to the meet tomorrow night is a good sign. Rooting alone won't win a meet-but it will help. Kansas is depending on a lot besides rooting, and expects to be able to produce the goods when the gun cracks in Convention hall. A whole season of systematic scientific training has been put in on the track team, and justifies the expectation if not of victory at least of a close score.

SCOOP CLUB TO BANQUET
SEMI-ANNUAL IN KANSAS CITY SATURDAY NIGHT.
Dr
The Scoop club of the University has completed arrangements to hold its spring banquet in Kansas City next Saturday evening at the University club. Between fifteen and twenty men will go down from the University for the banquet.
On account of the large number of University of Kansas men working on the Kansas City papers, the Scoop club last fall went to Kansas City to have a banquet in order that the Kansas City men might attend. The meeting proved so profitable that a spring meeting was planned at that time.
Newspaper Men of University to Dine With Graduates and Missouri Students.
The invitation list for next Saturday's banquet has been extended to include as many members of the University of Missouri Press club as can be present, with a view to promoting a better acquaintance between the newspaper men of the two universities.
Here It Is!
Jerome Beatty of the Kansas City Times, who helped to found the Scoop club and who gave it its name, will preside as toastmaster at the banquet. No formal program has been prepared but it is planned to introduce some original literary work at each meeting held in Kansas City. Last fall Harry Kemp read an original play. Saturday night C. L. Edson, the "funny man" of the Times, will read a chapter of a novel which he is writing.
One of Mr. Edson's claims to fame is the fact that he was the first student of the University to own an Automobile. His Automobile was a monthly paper which he wrote, printed and bound, and in which he set forth his views of University life. Edson is also something of a poet, and it is expected that his poetical controversy with Harry Kemp will be resumed at the meeting Saturday
The Imperial Silvery Gray Willowy Brim Soft Hat!

night. At the meeting last fall the discussion between the two was called on account of darkness—the lights were swtched off at 3 a.m.
SOME FUNNY EXCUSES.
Why People Don't Pay for the Graduate Magazine.
It might be expected that L. N. Flint, editor of the Graduate Magazine, would be exempt from the ordinary "kicks"that come to a newspaper, inasmuch as he is running a dignified periodical read by dignified people. But Mr. Flint has had a couple of refusals to pay the subscription price of his magazine, accompanied by the reasons for the refusal. He writes of them as follows in the last number of the Graduate Magazine:
Two members of the University faculty refused last year to pay for the Graduate Magazine. One of them said "he never ordered it," a statement which The Magazine had good reason to doubt but which all publishers recognize as the conventional and therefore the proper excuse of the person commonly—though neither euphoniously nor euphemistically—spoken of as the dead beat. (In educational circles such persons are of course referred to as merely by a trifle careless about their debts.) That case was not even interesting. But the other brother said that he would not pay his subscription because he "had not received an invitation to the Junior Prom." Original! No doubt of it. But baffling—haunting The Magazine has sometimes felt like invoking the Shade of Sherlock to help make a diagram of it—dignus vindice nodus. The relation is about as clear as in that other problem: if x equals mud how many times does Boola go into Mars? It is too much for any of those who work in the Magazine office. But then, there was a time when no one saw the connection between the gumdrop and the north pole.
GIRLS WERE INTERESTED.
So Was Everyone on Massachus setts Street Yesterday.
Two girls stood shivering on lower Massachusetts street yesterday, gazing intently into a well-decorated window. They were neatly dressed and as they stood there in the snow other passers-by were attracted to the window.
"Don't you know, dear, I believe that is the best assortment of college jewelry that I have ever seen in Lawrence. Those rings and lockets! Aren't they just too dear for anything? Let's go in, as I must get Harry that cigarette case with the seal on it for a birthday present."
After the cigarette case had been purchased, Mr. Gustafson showed the girls another assortment of the jewelry which he could not get in the window.
Mr. Gustafson is the college jeweler and he says that this shipment of fobs, ash trays, picture frames, spoons, book-marks hat and belt pins, etc., is the largest that ever came to Lawrence. It's exclusively for the K. U. trade.
Prof. C. M. Young returned the first of the week from a meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers in Pittsburg, Pa. where he read a paper on "The Decomposition Products of Black Blasting Powder."
