THE BOARD OF REGENTS.
The recent action of the State Legislature in establishing one Board of Regents for the State University, the State Agricultural College, the State Normal schools, the School for the Deaf, and the School for the Blind, possesses some element of merit, but the several objectionable features that are so obvious completely offset the good that may acerue from such a decision. The supporters of the measure contend that it will place the various institutions upon a more business, like basis, that it will result in having the requests for appropriations for the various schools placed before the Legislature in better shape. The question then arises as to whether these matters are of sufficient importance to offset the difficulties that are bound to come under the new ruling.
In the first place, the bill provides that the governor shall appoint three members of the board; no two shall go out of office at one time. It is easily seek that the governor has in his hands the power of changing the personnel of the majority of the board during his tenure of office. This power will probably work for good at all times, but there is a possibility that in the years to come, our state executive may be of a mind hostile to one or many of our state institutions and the appointing of these regents with its accompanying power, will place in his hands a means for administering effective and in many cases probably disasterous blows to our state schools. This lack of permanency of the Board of Regents appears to be one of its most pernicious faults.
Another provision of the bill is that not more than one member at any one time is to be an alumnus of any of the institutions controlled by the board. Analysis of this provision shows that we must either take non-graduates of our state institutions or we must go to the other states for the majority of the men to control the state schools. The paradox of graduating men from the state schools and then practically barring them from governing their Alma Mater is ridiculous and absurd.
Missouri seems to have the Indian sign on Kansas. With the best track team Kansas has ever had, Missouri nosed out a victory and caused the eighth successive defeat of Kansas in eight years. The story of the contest could be written with a profusion of "ifs," but the fact is that were beaten by a foe stronger than ourselves. The prediction that Kansas Woodbury Missouri was not exactly fulfilled, but the Jayhawkers came nearer to reading the funeral rites over the Tigers than she ever has in the history of track relations. The University is proud of her track team.
Reminiscences.
(March 13, 1885.)
Chancellor versus Brown. Subject, "Tom Paine."
The cisterns about the University are being repaired.
Several of the boys took their girls to Emporia to 'rah for Gilmore.
Some of the pious juniors have not paid their assessments yet. The Chancellor had his hair cut and is now able to attend chapel.
Again the overshoe thief is making himself felt in the halls.
Messrs. Ross and Guard, two very gentlemanly young men of Topeka, have leased the Cosley skating rink and are filling it with an unusually attractive line of amusements. Mr. Ross is an ex-student of Washburn.
The people of Lawrence had a big jubilee Friday evening, over the passage of the $50,000 for a Natural History building in connection with the University. Prof. Snow was serenaded and carried bodily to the scene of the jollification.

A college prof. and a chapel,
A Tuesday morn at ten,
A yawn of a much-bored student,
Awaiting the sweet amen;
Then a brief ten-page conclusion,
And a cheering that is not—
Some call it Elocution,
And others call it rot.
A quizz and a swell-dressed lassie,
A tear in a languid eye,
A sweet smile defly directed
At a pensive youth hard-by;
A glance at a proffered quiz-book,
A mem'ry of things forgot—
Some of us call it Taffy,
And others call it rot
Like tides on a stormy sea-beach,
Comes the bleachers' surging cheer
To, "Hail, hail, the gang's all here!" Down by the goal-posts fumbled.
Fig-sam recovered her. Some of us call it football, And others call it rot.
A freshman flunking at Christmas,
A grind at his daily toil.
Willie-boys bugging at quizz-week,
Burning the midnight oil;
Five-thousand page assignments,
Straightway to be forgot;
Some call it Education,
And others call it rot.
OREAD NEWS.
CHAPEL DATES POPULAR.
Grinds Come Forth to Face the Camera.
Now is the time to get your chapel dates. Why? Haven't you seen the amateur photographers chasing around the campus during chapel time? They are getting pictures for the Annual, and if you want to get your picture in the publication, get a date and accidentally run across these photographers. A date with one of the very popular girls is, of course, to be preferred, for these are the kind that the Annual wants and you are more liable to get your picture taken then. Most of the upper classmen know this and some of them who have been in their shell all year are now coming forth and may be seen strolling about the campus any day during chapel. Have you seen them? Or are you one of them?
