It is safe to say that at this year's track meet with Nebraska the rules determining the awarding of events will be agreed upon before the whistle blows.
Plans for Commencement have taken form so that the copy of the program for the week is in the hands of the printer. The year is drawing to a close, faster than most of us think. Many important questions, even that of the size of the graduating class depend upon the work that is done in the few remaining weeks of study.
The University is fortunate in having an organization like the Quill club, which has for its purpose the encouragement of literary efforts among the students. "The Quill," which was issued last week, was a credit to the club. It seems that there is not sufficient support in sight for a regular monthly literary publication, and as long as that condition exists, the Quill club should be encouraged in its attempt to keep the literary spark alive by publishing an annual "Quill."
Within the past week the student dailies published at the Universities of Illinois and Nebraska have printed editorials strongly advocating the honor system in examinations at those Universities. It is admitted by both papers that "ponying" and "borrowing" are common in exams in the schools which they represent Evidently, Kansas is not the only Western University where the
practice of cheating in quizzes has grown until it is a serious issue.
Every good fellow in the University will be "tagged" next Thursday, for all Good Fellows will be glad to help along the scholarship established by the Women's Student Government association to the extent of the twenty-five cents they will have to pay for a tag.
TO POETS.
To captive all the moods of Time
In the golden links of rhyme;
To reach beyond the frequent sham
Of the "I would be" to "I am;"
Only to wound that ye may heal,
As fire tempers ore to steel;—
To fling, each morn, as Life goes on,
New windows open to the dawn,
Wringing a golden recompense
From every harsh experience,
That, step by step, the world may rise
Nearer its earthly paradise—
Thus sing, ye poets, or be still,
Nor thwart man's upward-marching
will.

PROTESTS AGAINST CUSTOM
"Kicker" Thinks He Ought Not to Pay for An Extra Annual.
Editor Kansan;
As the senior play draws near, it brings with it the realization that if one wishes to enjoy the company of a young woman on that occasion, he must fork up $2.50 to buy her an Annual. Now I would like to kick and kick strenuously against this time worn custom that makes a goat out of anybody who takes a girl to the senior play. Every girl knows that Annuals are sold at the senior play, and she also knows that it will be up to her escort to dig up $2.50 for one of them for her, unless she provides herself with an Annual ticket beforehand. Any girl wishing to become the possessor of an Annual should purchase an Annual ticket before the performance. This, believe me, will certainly make a hit with her escort.

POOR VOTING SYSTEM?
Charge Is Made That Rules Were Broken by Women.
An election which was an nounced as conducted according to the Australian ballot system, was held in the rest room of Fraser hall Thursday. However, there was not a recognizable booth in sight, and when the room was crowded no place to which one could retire and vote in private.
Electioneering began the minute one entered the room, and as you marked your ballot excited girls leaned over your shoulder and directed your pencil. I, for one, had backed away from the crowd and was trying to collect my thoughts when a strange girl rushed up to me and said, "Oh, don't vote for that one. Here's my pencil rubber, change it!"
When I informed her that I was determined, she put her arms around me and insisted. I broke away and handed in my ballot.
It would have been but little extra trouble to have provided booths for the voters, and a fence to mark the limits of electionering. The officers for the Student Government Association elected by this weirt scheme this year may find a noble work in conducting next year's election in a straight and official manner.
LOCOMOTIVE TEST AT M. U
Columbia Students to Run Wabash Engine for One Week.
The purpose of the tests is to determine the amount of coal necessary to operate the engine the amount of power the coal will produce and the difference in power required on grades and curved sections of track. The results of the experiments will be published in a bulletin.
Columbia, Mo., May 6.—The students in the mechanical department of the School of Engineering of the University of Missouri, will spend next week in making experimental tests upon a locomotive loan by the Wabash railroad. The students will have complete control of the engine for one week and operate on the branch line from Columbia to Centralia, a distance of twenty miles.
A number of University girls gave a progressive dinner party Saturday evening at the homes of Edith Meyers, Alma Cole, Laurene Steven and Ruby Ravenscraft. Plates were laid for twenty guests and the evening was spent in dancing.
