Are you going to stay over for commencement? It has always been the custom of the student body to leave school as soon as it is over and as a result the graduating exercises find only the seniors and a few alumni here. This year plans have been made for a class day and it is desired that all who can will stay over for the exercises. The regatta on Potter's lake promises to be interesting and Dr. Naismith has organized a number of class teams who will put on a number of exhibitions! Fancy stunts and novel features will be tried out. Monday of commencement week will be given over to the classes and band concerts, the water sports and a big picnic in the evening has been planned. This year something new has been started and there ought to be a majority of the student body stay for the exercises.
Just what is the position of the Graduate student in school life? At the Students' Day exercise it was argued that the Graduates have no interest in the senior class and ought not be made to bear the burden of the class graduation. It seems however, that it is just for all those who receive degrees to pay for the expenses of commencement week. The Graduates occupy a distinctive position in the school
life but there is a common relation between them and the seniors when it is time to receive degrees. The action of the seniors in making Graduates bear their share of the expense seems perfectly fair.
The announcement of two new industrial fellowships for Kansas, calls attention to the work of Professor R. K. Dunean. Several of the University students who have gone cast to accept these positions report that the schools of the east show much interest in the industrial work by the Kansas men. The industrial fellowships are the best advertisement the University has ever had.
Let There be Light.
A member of the physics class has just advanced the theory that there is enough reflective power in the shiny all-in blue serge suits which appear on the bill at this time of year, to signal the planet Mars.
Announce Engagement.

They attended the city schools and later the University of Kansas at Lawrence. The wedding is announced for Wednesday evening June 7 at the home of the bride's parents. From the "Saita Journal."

Embarrassing Situation Caused by Two Much Confidence.
Miss Ethel McNitt of Washington will spend the week end at the Theta house with Lena Morrow.
Out under the stars the girls slept peacefully and the cool night breezes blew around them. But the alarm clock never rang. The girls did not awake until shouts of some boys playing ball in the street below aroused them. The undutiful clock in the corner said 7:30. Hornors of horrors they had an eight o'clock class—but how would they ever get up and in through the window? Urgent need, however brought a happy thought and rolling themselves up in their blankets they retreated in true Indian style.
Did you ever sleep out on a porch roof when the weather was hot? Were you ever in an embarrassing situation? Two girls, who live at the corner of Haneck and Kentucky, can answer yes to both of these questions, and it happened just the other night.
It was a hot night. Ice water and fans had failed to make them comfortable. Then one of them thought of the porch roof. When it was dark they carried their quilts and blankets out on the roof and make a bed on the red painted tin. In the corner near them an alarm clock was placed and set for five—for porch sleepers must arise before daylight and hike to the seclusion of their rooms.
