GEORGE H. WILLIS, '04, DEAD.
Former Student Succumbs to an Attack of Blood Poisoning.
George H. Willis, '04, died of blood poisoning Saturday at Great Bend, after an illness of but a few days. The funeral services will be held at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Willis, at 1312 Vermont street, this city, at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Mr. Willis was one of the prominent members of the class of 1904 and was one of the Phi Beta Kappa students of that year. He has been an instructor in Latin since his graduation. For two years he taught in the Sumner County high school and this year in the Great Bend high school, of which he was principal.
Mr. Willis was married in December, 1907, to Miss Myrtle McLaughlin of Moran, Kansas, a former student in the fine arts department of the University.

Grades Were Given Out Today.
Today, Geo.O. Foster, Registrar, was busy giving out the grades for the last term to inquiring students. The waiting line which was formed was almost as long as the one commonly seen every day during the registration period in the fall.
Most of the faces of the inquirers betrayed a conscious fear of something horrible coming. The student with the most worried expression, as a general thing had the pleaasure of hearing the registrar read a list of half a dozen 1's and then went on his way rejoicing, while the care-free one left in disgust after receiving his miserable record, accusing some professor of mistreating him.
Found Wandering Indians.
Mrs. C. W. White, wife of the University instrument maker, found two small Indian boys, who had wandered away from Haskell, at her home in southeast Lawrence last night. The little fellows were lost and almost frozen. After warming the young braves up Mrs. White sent them back to Haskell.

Harry Kemp to Lecture Again.
IN OTHER COLLEGES.
Baker University is organizing a Student Council. One of the first duties of that council should be to see that the Orange is printed in readable style. It certainly has been abominable of late.-Ottawa Campus.
The sophomore class at Brown ran so badly in debt that the Dean passed a ruling that the class could not engage in any activities, nor any member of the class represent the university in any organization or in athletics until their bills were settled. The sophs immediately got busy and balanced the books.
The California legislature may provide that graduates of the law school of Leland Stanford will be admitted to the state bar without examination.
Indiana has followed the lead of the other large universities in pushing up the standard requirement for matriculation in the law school. Only students having a junior standing in the college are now admitted.

He Tipped a Co-Ed Who Was Not Used to Tips.
CAREY STARTED SOMETHING.
The following is the Topeka Capital's version of an incident that occurred at the dinner given to the legislators last Friday:
Senator Emerson Carey of Reno county got back from Lawrence all right, but from stories told yesterday in the senate, he had a mighty close call. He narrowly escaped being mobbed, because he "tipped" one of the waiters at the University Friday.
At the dinner in the University gym. the waiters were picked from the prertiest co-eds in school. A particularly "fair damsel" waited on Senator Carey. Evidently the senator from Reno thought that the girls were imported from the French cafes of Kansas City or had been picked from the "plate-rollers" of the local restaurants. After pie and coffee had been served he called this particularly pretty young lady to him and slipped a dollar into her hand.
This was the first tip the young lady had ever received. She was so surprised that, for a moment, she was unable to speak,. Then she let out a chirp that was half scream and half gurgle. She jumped up and down a while snd then started up the aisle.
The other young women, also waiters, were attracted by the outburst. They rushed pell-mell upon the "horrid man," not knowing what he had done, or said.
It took several minutes for Senator Carey to explain. "I gave it to her to buy a box of candy," contritely explained the confused legislator. Then some more explaining followed. The misunderstanding was patched up, but Senator Carey says it will be the last tip he gives a waiter until he first finds out whether she is a professional or "new on the job."
The recipient of Senator Carey's tip was Miss Gertrude Copley, secretary of the senior class.

To the Editor of The Kansan:
A Communication.
Your constant iteration of the theme, Cheap board elsewhere and dear board in Lawrence, is growing weariness. It does cost enough to live in any place—more is the pity, out judging from my own experience, Lawrence is not much worse in that respect than other University towns. Some time ago you mentioned that Harvard furnishes board at cost. It does, and it has been my lot to eat of that board all the fall. The average price at Memorial Hall was $5.04 per week, not including any meats. For the latter, one had to pay extra. Fish and packed eggs were served, also a monotonous round of about a half a dozen kinds of vegetables, and a staple lot of deserts. Equally appetizing food could be obtained here for not much over half the price. At Randall Hall, another of their eating places 'run at cost,' prices were somewhat cheaper but not to be compared with anything here. Are you not a little over-credulous about the wonders of the Orient? To me your late news-item as to the marvellous price of board at Missouri reads like a tale from the pen of Maundeville. Where did you get that bill of fare, was it taken from a prospectus?—Frank E. Bryant, Asst. Professor of English.
