LOAN FUND TOO SMALL
MANY APPLICATIONS FOR MONEY.
Profits From Senior Plays Make Up About Two-Thirds of the Amount of Fund.
The University committee in charge of the Students' Loan Fund has more applications for loans than it it able to grant with the funds on hand, and is awaiting some additions to the fund in order that a number of deserving persons may be helped through school.
The fund is now being used by sixteen persons. Most of them are now students attending the University, but a few are recent graduates who have not yet paid back amounts which they have borrowed from the fund. The fund now amounts to something more than $1,200.
About two-thirds of this amount has been paid into the fund by the senior classes of previous years from the profits arising from the senior plays. The debating council has paid a small amount, and private gifts make up the remainder of the fund. Senior classes which have contributed to the fund and the amounts which they have given are as follows:
Class of 1894 ... $340,30
Class of 1895 ... 18,25
Class of 1896 ... 100,00
Class of 1897 ... 150,00
Class of 1898 ... 133,10
Class of 1899 ... 34,40
Class of 1900 ... 15,91
Class of 1901 ... 70,0
In 1902 the custom of turning the proceeds of the play into the fund was discontinued.

CAUSED ADDITIONAL WORK
Window Had to Be Refilled Several Times.
"Isn't it queer," said a student this morning, "how quickly pee people notice and appreciate good of extraordinary quality. I was in Gustafson's store yesterday evening a few minutes and just while I was in there he sold several of those solid gold seal ring and lockets.
So it was with all the other newelties Mr. Gustafson had on display in his north window. As soon as he would get the cases filled up someone would come in and buy something—a tie-pin, or a waterfob or a belt buckle, and, as Mr. Gustafson said, ""all because they were the finest goods of the kind ever shown in Lawrence. —ady

"It Develops Courage Both Phys ical and Moral."—Bryan.
FAVORS FOOTBALL.
After the Arizona-New Mexico football game at Tucson, Ariz., William Jennings Bryan, who had been an interested spectator, took occasion to voice his sentiments in regard to the great gridiron game.
He would not, he said, abolish the grand American college sport because of an occasional injury sustained in it. There is danger in any manly sport, and, while preferring to meet the exigencies of the political rather than the gridiron struggle, yet he is heartily in favor of the sport.
"Football," Mr. Bryan said in part, "is a means of developing in young manhood those qualities which above all others are required of successful men of our nation today, be it in business, politics or profession. Not only does the contest on the gridiron develop muscular strength to maintain and help through years, but it develops mental skill and brain power, which is so indispensable to the highest efficiency. But above al, in my opinion, football develops courage—both physical and moral. And in this gift of courage football equips us for the trying moral struggles through life."

ATE DOG BISCUIT.
Freshmere Attend Sophomore Banquet as Prisoners.
While the eighty-five sophomores of New York University regaled themselves one night with a full course dinner at the Cafe Normandie, nine captive freshmen sat looking on as comfortably as sundry fetters would permit. Each of them had a portion of dog biscuit and water in front of him.
The only way the freshmen could eat was dog-fashion, for ropes bound the arms and legs of all of them, and one vicious specimen wore also a pair of hand-cuffs. The fun started in the afternoon when the sophomores captured Albert Nixon, the freshmen's president and quarterback on the 'Varsity football team, and set guard over him in a barn at One Hundred and Ninety-second street and Grand Avenue. One by one as the afternoon wore on other freshmen were waylaid until by dark Nixon had seven companions. Lest they try something hazardous they were tightly coiled in rope.
When time arrived to start for the class dinner the sophomores boosened the leg bindings of the prisoners enough to permit them to walk and tramped them down to the train in the middle of a hollow square. Resue efforts by the remainder of the freshman class, were outgeneraled, and the procession boarded the train intact and in good order.
At Ninety-sixth street a sophomore picket spied a freshman waiting on the station platform and lastooed him. This was the specimen who got the handeuffs for having the temerity to resist. Express and local subway trains both held over while the passengers came out on the platform and watched this exciting capture. The victors then had nine of the enemy in tow and reached the cafe with them minus further incident.
The proceeding was so uncommon that the sophomores were boasting that it had no precedent in any class at the university.
