THE PROFITS OF THE SENIOR PLAY.
The recent rumors of a disagreement between the men entrusted by the senior class of the University with the production of the senior play raises the question of what the play means to the members of the class—a question that has been lost to sight in some of its phases for a number of years. The reported disagreement was over the division of the profits of the play. Since 1902 the amount of money which the play has brought in above expenses has gone to the business manager of the play to reconcile him for the time and effort he has expended and the financial risk he has assumed. The chairman of the play committee also expended much time and labor but as he had assumed no financial obligation he was given no share in the proceeds. The chairman of the play committee worked for nothing more than the recognition he would get for having produced a play that would rise to the dramatic standards maintained at the University and be a credit to his clas. The manager of the play has usually spent as little money as he could consisten with his honor and self-respect staging the committee's play and has pocketed the rest of the income from the play. Previous to 1902, the manager of the play was given a chance to work for his class as well as himself in "putting on" the play. The profits of the play in those days—whether the amount was small or large—were turned over to the Students' Loan Fund. The class as a whole thus expressed its appreciation of the value of a university training by adding to a fund which would enable deserving students coming after them to complete the work necessary for a degree, in cases where that would not be possible without the help of the Fund. Though it is seldom heard of by the student body, there is still a Student Loan Fund. That it is a useful thing is shown by the fact that every del
far in the Fund is now being used by students who need financial help. That a larger Fund could be put to good use is shown by a recent occurrence. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae founded a small scholarship for upper class girls. When the awarding of the scholarship was considered it was learned that there are a number of senior girls in the University who would be able to graduate if given a loan as small as $25, and who could not graduate if the money were not forthcoming from somewhere. If the senior class wishes to make the senior play a matter in which every member of the class can take pride; if it wishes to take the faplum of the play profits out of petty class politics; if it wishes to avoid quarrels about who shall get a rake-off out of the proceeds —why not revive the custom of putting the profits into the Student's Loan Fund.

Their black and tan Oxfords portray the finest bench-work and the smartest modeling you will see in a good many seasons. It gives us much pleasure to say that we have the exclusive Lawrence agency for these excellent Shoes, the prices of which are
THEY CAME YESTERDAY
"Rah, rah, rah—mud, mud Mudhole High school, Rah," wa the cry that drifted over Mount Oread yesterday morning and th high school boys broke over the crest of the hill of knowledge and were upon the University in ful force.
High School Boys Brought Rah Rah Spirit.
Onward they came, each giving evidence of having absorbed several pages of the book entitled "The Clothes of a Rah,Rah Boy," and within a short time the colors of the hat bands and the arm bands of the various educational institutions of the state blended into one glorious rainbow. And the human rainbow moved steadily across the campus toward the gymnasium where the boys were shortly afterward to meet each other face to face in deadly basket-ball combat.
As the column reached the east end of the gymnasium a meek, but jealous freshman eyed the leaders and inquired in an inquisitive tone, "Where are you from," and giving evidence of striving to contain a feeling that some one was usurping his place at the school he waited for the reply.
"We're from Mudhole, mud mud, Mudhole high school," wa the answer and the material o future University activity wandered on.
MASQUE CLUB ELECTS.
And Also Decides to Study Dramatics.
At a meeting of the Masque club on Thursday night the following students were elected to membership: Melville Wood, George Probst, Franz Wilson, Charles Younggreen, Miss Erna Oakley, Miss Gail Sutton, Miss Fay Chisham and Miss Cornelia Hard castle.
The members of the club will hold meetings hereafter once a month for the purpose of studying dramatics since on account of the recent ruling of the University only one play will be given each year. By an agreement between the managers of the two dramatic clubs, the Masque will give its play next year in the fall and the Thespians during the spring semester.
