STUDENTS' WIVES ORGANIZE SOCIETY
K. U. DAMES WILL BE NAME OF NEW SOCIAL CLUB.
Plan to Give Programs Every Two Weeks—Wives of Professors Are Patronesses.
K. U. Dames is the name of a club which was organized last week by a number of the wives of graduate and undergraduate students who met with Mrs. Herbert Hungerford, at 1039 Kentucky street for that purpose.Mrs. Roy Rankin was chosen president, Mrs. Herbert Hungerford vice president, and Mrs. Clifford Young secretary-treasurer. Mrs. U.G. Mitchell, Mrs. F. U. G. Agrelius, and Mrs. H. O. Kruse are patronesses of the club.
The object of the new organization is to promote sociability among the wives of students. It will meet on Wednesday afternoons every two weeks when some program both instructive and entertaining will be presented. Mrs. U. G. Mitchell has special charge of the program arrangements and has already planned to have an address by Dr. Daya stercopticon lecture by Dr. W. H. Carruth, and a talk by Mrs. R. R. Preuszner of Lawrence. The ladies will also have one meeting at which Dean F. O. Marvin will exhibit his collection of etchings to them.
The K. U. Dames will hold their next meeting Wednesday afternoon, February 22, at 3 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. H. O. Kruse, 1538 Kentucky street. The officers of the club hope to have the wives of students to whom they were unable to get a personal invitation to the first meeting, to affiliate with the new organization at that time.

Of All Sad Words.
One man who fell a victim before his quizzes at the end of last term, sat down at his table and produced the following poem: Then feeling that the verse might strike a responsive chord in some other breast, he brought it to The Kansas for publication:
Ballad Pathetic.
Many hours I've spent in study; Now my eyes are giving out. And I've climbed the hill so
And I've climbed the hill so quickly
quickly That my heart's no longer stout. Oh I know I've worked in earnest And poor dad has spent his "trolls."
"plunks." Still the Dean gives me no credit. But instead a list of flunks.
—Tince.

The first clash which Cornell students have had with the police in several years was early one morning after an all night celebration of the end of the mid-year examinations. The hilarity began at a theater where egg throwing and cat calls finally forced the show to close. The students, in line, marched to a moving picture show where admission was denied them. A clash with half a dozen police and three theater attaches followed in which many students had their heads bruised or by blows from the officers' night sticks. Three alleged leaders were arrested but later paroled.

Tuesday The Kansan printed a story about work being done by University girls in a settlement, house in the East Bottoms. A number of readers interpreted the wording to mean that the students had fitted up the house in which the classes of children are held. It should be understood however, that the house was furnished and the work started by the Lawrence Civic league. The students in the department of expression were then asked to aid in the work and they have been teaching classes at regular intervals for some time.
