DISSATISFACTION AT NEBRASKA
ALUMNI DO NOT LIKE BASE BALL SITUATION.
Protest Has Gone Up Since the Big Schools Dropped Nebraska From Schedule.
"I met one or two Nebraska alumni at about every town I struek, and all of them tear their hair when they talk about the baseball situation at their alma mater," said the ex-freshman coach. "They say that there must be a change in the way athleties are handled at Nebraska Since Minnesota and the other big schools have dropped the Cornhuskers from their base schedules, the whole state has been raising a howl, and it's bound to bring about some kind of a change.
"Professionalism in baseball is going to cause an athletic shake up at Nebraska University before long." This is the opinion of W. J. Coleman, coach of last year's freshman football team at the University.
Mr. Coleman has lately returned from a business trip through Nebraska, on which he visited a large number of towns and had an opportunity to "feel the pulse" of Nebraskans with regard to their university.
"The minute I mentioned foot ball to those Nebraskans, to a man they began to talk "bear Kansas." That seems to be the theme, up there, and they are expecting to have a strong team too. From what I can hear, next year's Cornhuskers will be able to do an adult's size bunch of husking."
University Hospital May Nurse Kansas City Patients.
CARE FOR CITY'S SICK.
It is very probable that the University of Kansas will soon indirectly care for the hospital patients of Kansas City, Kan. The authorities of the Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial hospital at Rosedale have offered to care for those patients. The proposition was made this week and if accepted a general hospital, which has been proposed, will not be built in Kansas City, Kan., but the patients from there will be sent to the University institution.
The University has proposed the arrangements that students may have an opportunity to study in the University hospital. An addition to the hospital is being planned and the proposition will be gone into thoroughly by the commissioners and representatives of the University before the actual work of construction starts

THE 1910 "QUILL."
The Quill, the annual publication of the Quill club, was published Friday. A brisk sale of copies was carried on at the check stand in Fraser Hall. The Quill this year is a magazine of eighty pages. The cover design was drawn by Everett G. Young.
The contents comprise twenty-five contributions, two of which are unsigned, in prose and verse. In addition there is an editorial department. The title page carries a poem, "The Cup," by Harry Kemp, and farther along is another poem by Kemp on "Corn in Kansas." The other verse in the number is "To My Old Love" and "Another Expedition Planned," by C. C. Van Dyke; "My Position," by Dot Smith; "Mine Alma Mater," by "N. V. T.;" "Denied," by Anna R. Manley, and Limericks by W. M. Huff.
The prose contributions vary in quality from an excellence that compares favorably with the fiction appearing in the good magazines, to some indifferent work. The titles are as follows:
"The Blue Bank of Clouds in the West," John Ise; "Girls' Day in the Swimming Pool," Helen Phillips; "The Button-Hook Trust," by Robert L. Sellers; "The Heart of Sing Fu," Hazel McKay; "Social Life of a Stag at K. U.," T. T. Shannon; "The Fall of the Mighty," Everett G.

THREE FELLOWSHIPS
Added to Those Open to University Students.
Three new fellowships to which all College graduates are eligible, have been announced. One is offered by Penn College of Oskaloosa, Ia. The fellowship is in biology and geology.
A second comes from the University of Utah. It is the Wall fellowship and pays $500 a year. Two others in the School of Mining pay $350 each. The third is offered by the department of geology at Princeton. It pays $400 annually. An assistant in geology also pays $500.
A Lot of Courses.
The Kansan, the official paper of the University, reports in its last issue that the new catalog has listed so many courses of study that to complete them all would require some 113 years. The article adds that the student who should attempt such a Herculean task would spend a sum for text-boks which would exceed the biennial budget of the University. These figures ought to convince any sane student that he cannot "learn it all" in four short years, and relieve him at once of any further anxiety in the matter.—Lawrence Democrat.
KEMP HAS GONE WEST.
Will Study Life in Washington for Poetic Material.
Harry Kemp started yesterday on a tour to Tacoma, Washington, where he will spend the summer gathering material for poems. He took two stop-overs on the trip. Yesterday he spent the afternoon with J. E. House, of the Topeka Capital, and today he is visiting William Allen White, at Emporia.
The poet expects to spend several months in the Northwest. He will work in the salmon canneries, see the big trees and make a study of life in general as he finds it in that part of the country. Last summer he made a similar trip to the Great Lakes. While there he worked as cook's assistant in an ore freighter.
In Tacoma, Kemp will find Claude A. Clay, '09, who is a reporter on the Tacoma Daily Tribune. The poet expects to spend a month at an anarchist colony near that city.
