FABLE.
Once upon a time there was a University and it had a goodly number of Freshmen. It so happened that one Saturday afternoon the varsity football team was scrimming with a nearby school and a goodly number of the first year men were in attendance at this scrimmage. While the practice was going on it so happened that a number of tryouts for the team did not perform exactly as their verdant brothers in the bleachers would have them. Whereupon a loud and mighty muroar came from the throats of these infants in which such en dearing terms as "rotten," "poor" and other pleasing epithets were hurled at the players. This vocalization continued through the hour of practice and is even to this day heard at frequent intervals. Whereupon there is dissatisfaction among upperclassmen.
Moral: If you are a Freshman remember you have passed the high school stage.
The sudden demise of the Mandolin club several years ago was a source of real sorrow to music lovers in the University and in the city. Their concerts were always heralded as an event in the school year and their patronage was probably the most enthusiastic of any other University organization. This year the club is again showing signs of life and will no doubt be one of the musical attractions of the coming school year. The meeting for reorganization last night was not a disappointment. Those who have ability on string instruments should make an effort to join the club. The rejuvenated Mandolin Club will be welcomed in University circles.
The University has progressed far enough in clean politics that she frowns upon "mudslinging" in the class elections. Up to the present time there have been no indications of this form of politics but there is a rumor that such a ting is to take effect in a few days. Those who engage in dirty politics will discover before the week is out that this is an evidence of their weakness. The campaigns for class elections have
been clean thus far. Let us hope that no faction or group is short sighted enough $ ^{2} $ to imagine that anything is to be gained by such actions.

GRADUATE IN ALASKA
Dallas Hannah Studying Fur Animals For Government.
Prof. C. E. McClung received a letter this week from Dallas Hannah who was a student in the University. Mr. Hannah is now in Muskegan, Alaska.
Mr. Hannah is in the government service studying fur animals in relation to the laws regulating their slaughter. He says in his letter that he will shortly leave for the interior where he will spend the winter. He expects to return to Muskagak Christmas for mail, but is not sure that sledding will be possible at that time.

Mrs. Blanche Lyons, of the School of Fine Arts will return to Lawrence next Thursday. She will hear her first classes in vocal training at her North College studio Friday morning. She has been absent during the summer while touring as soloist with the Ohlymyer band of California. Mrs. Lyons has had a successful season as is shown by the following notice clipped from the San Diego. California "Union:"

Our Debt to Miss Lvons.
In making a resume of the season's events and activities, one person stands out as having been one of the greatest creators of amusement and pleasure that the resort has ever known. It is Miss Blanche Lyons who arrived in Coronado an entire stranger and who is leaving here with the strong friendship of everyone who has ever heard her wonderful voice. As a vocalist Miss Lyons will always stand pre-eminent in the opinion of those who have heard her here. But aside from her wonderful voice is a personality that one can never forget. Always vivacious, always buoyant! happy and radiant, her entrance to the band stand is a signal for deeply felt applause.
Miss Lyons has proven herself an indefatigable worker. The length of her repettoire is probably not equaled by that of any other concert singer in America. Miss Lyons does not feel it beneath her to sing popular songs and her singing of them raises them to a higher standard, but in her classic selections she reaches the height of her splendid ability. She has given Tent City one of its most enjoyable
