Are the senior activities at the University of Kansas run upon the best possible plan? Why it is that the big junior affair, the Prom, is run by men who in every way are acting as representatives of their class and who make a strict accounting of every cent expended, while the senior enterprises, the play and the annual, are run on a basis of personal profit? These are questions which the members of next year's senior class will do well to ponder on during the summer vacation. There is a growing sentiment at the University that there is a better way of managing senior business.
The deluge of athletic victories which came the way of the University of Kansas last Saturday was just what was needed to wind up the year in athletics with a good taste in everybody's mouth. There have been some disappointments in athletics this year, but on the whole the season has been satis factory.
Lawrence is an illuminated city this week. In addition to the "great white way," on Massachusetts street in connection with the street fair, two thousand students' lights are going from twilight till midnight or after. A down-town paper refers to the studying for quizzes that is going on on the hill this week as "the darkness that precedes the dawn." "The calm before the storm" is rather more like it.
If the two student councils are given proper assistance in carry.
ing out plans which they are formulating. the lot of the freshman will be a less lonesome one next year than it has been in years past. In this undertaking the councils deserve the assistance of everyone who was ever a freshman.

DECIDE FLOUR QUESTION.
Professor Emerson Carrying on Experiments.
Prof. H. W. Emerson has just begun a series of experiments investigating the difference in digestibility between bleached and unbleached flour, and also to ascertain if bleached flour is at all toxic, or poisonous.
Professor Price Secretary.
A case involving the bleaching of flour has come up in the courts at Kansas City, and has been left to Professor Emerson to decide. The millers in Kansas are very anxious to have the experiments show no difference and the northern millers are just as anxious to have it show disastrous effects, owing to the fact that the northern wheat makes a whiter flour than southern wheat. As yet the experiments have failed to show any difference in digestibility.
Prof R. R. Price was elected secretary and treasurer of the State Municipal League which was organized at Wichita, Thursday, by city officials who attended the conference which was arranged by Prof. F. G. Bates as temporary secretary for the organization.

FOR THE FIRST BRIDE.
K. S. A. C. Girl Graduates Preparing Linen Chest.
Manhattan, May 24.—Graduating classes from college have long had the custom of offering fellowships and other prizes, but it remained for the girls in the senior class in domestic art of the Kansas Agricultural College to offer a real inducement toward home-building.
Each girl in the class is working on a linen piece, which will go to make up a box of linen for the first girl in the class who is married. This box will be left in charge of Miss Becker, professor of the domestic art department, until the first wedding is announced.
Considerable interest was manifested among the men of the senior class when the news came out, and one of them is said to have wagered a cook stove that he could tell who would be the lucky girl.
Miss Hazel K. Smith, of the class of '04, who is touring Europe this spring, writes her parents that she had the pleasure of an audience with Pope Pius X, a short time ago. Miss Smith is a a member of the Congregational church and it is a pare thing for the Pope to receive any young lady other than a communicant of the Roman Catholic church.
Received by the Pope.

Kansas Librarians Will Visit in Europe.
The state of Kansas will supply more than its share of librarians who will visit Europe in August, at the time of the International Library conference at Brussels, according to reports received yesterday by the president of the Kansas Library association, Mrs S. J. Greenman, of Kansas City, Kan. Among the Kansans who have engaged passage on European steamers are: Miss Carrie M. Watson, librarian at the University of Kansas, and Miss Dora Reun, an assistant librarian in the University: Miss Clara Francis of the State Historical Society at Topeka, and Miss Olive M. Wood, librarian at Baker University.
Praise for the Quill.
The students of the University of Kansas have an organization called the Quill club which each year issues a booklet containing original contributions. This year's publication, The Quill, is especially good and contains a list of articles that show much literary skill and careful work. The contributions are well prepared and many of them have a literary worth that reflects great credit on the editors. Such efforts are of exceptional worth and the club has reason to be proud of its success.—Abilene Reflector.
Harvard Abandons Crimson
Harvard University is no longer represented by the famous color of crimson. The corporation decided that there were too many variations used on the Harvard flags and banners and have officially adopted a new color, "artorial blood." It is of much richer red than the former color, appearing to be of a purple shade.
