The cause of democracy was well served in the Kansas Legislature the other day when Hon. Davis of Bourbon introduced a resolution in which the Chancellor of the University and the Presidents of the Agricultural College and the State Normal were referred to as "hired men!" No session of the Legislature is considered complete until this playful appellation has been applied and now that it has been done the Legislature is talking about adjournment. And Mr. Davis of Bourbon goes back to his constituents carrying his resolution as proof that his own work as "hired man" was well and faithfully done—that he spent no time snoozing in the hay-loft while the legislative alfalfa needed cutting.
It must be the freshmen's fault. The Missouri Valley Conference asks the student body to stay away from Kansas City for our annual football game, because you know—we're very,very boisterous. But they see no reason why we should not go to the big city for our annual track meet in the spring. Evidently there must be some great change come over the student body during football season and track time, that will allow for this difference in ruling. The second year men and the upper-classmen have had the experience. Must be that the Missouri
Valley Conference is over-solicitous of the first year men at the beginning of their school life.
Professor Corbin says that the "student activities" of American university life are unknown to the German schools. And this in a place where the facilities for much "student activity" number so many to the block.
Must Be a Big Tank.
An excellent joke, whether intentional or accidental, was perpetrated by an eastern newspaper which quoted the dean of an eastern women's college as stating in her annual report that the college swimming tank "has a capacity of 20,000 gals."—Kansas City Star.
Those Musical Students.
A member of the physics department has just figured out that enough noise comes from the various student boarding hous pianos in Lawrence, between the hours of 7 to 8 p. m., to replace ten million alarm clocks,and keep the sleepiest man in the world awake for five thousand years.
Medics Will Banquet.
The entire chapter of twenty-six members of the Phi Beta Pi medical fraternity will go to Kansas City tomorrow to attend their annual Founders' Day banquet at the Baltimore. Several honorary members will also be initiated at this time.
