The top hall of the Administration building has been turned into a work-shop. It is fitted up with mitre-saws, lumber and all the necessary equipment for the artists to frame their paintings, thus giving to their work a finished touch.
The boys in Professor Griffith's class are by no means the best workers. They "admit it" themselves that the girls are expert carpenters as well as artists. No credit is giver for the work done in picture framing.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE QUESTION
And Most of Those Who Send For Package Libraries Are in Favor of the Movement.
More than twelve package libraries upon "Women Suffrage" have recently been sent out from the package library department of the University Extension Division. Of this number, nine are on the affirmative side of the suffrage question. One hundred other libraries upon many different subjects are now being used by high school students in the preparation of debates and orations, by club women, by city officials, and others who do not have adequate library facilities.

COME A-RUNNING!
That the sorority girls haven't forgotten how to do it in four years, was proved by the Leap Year dance given by twenty-five girls Saturday afternoon at Ecke's hall.
University Girls Know How to Give a Leap Year Dance.
There were twenty-five lucky men who hadn't a care on earth. The girls invited them, paid all their expenses, made out their programs, saw to it there wasn't a wall-flower at the dance, and, crowning evidence of feminine wisdom, escorted their partners to the restaurant for a beef-steak dinner.

Wiedemann's.
Sunday, Jan. 14, closed the eighth year for Registrar Geo. O. Foster as teacher of the young women's Bible class of the Christian Church. The class is composed of young women of the University, and was organized January, 1904, with four members and closed January, 1912, with a membership of forty-five.
During the eight years Mr. Foster has missed eight Sundays, one while in New Orleans, three while visiting eastern colleges, and four while on a vacation last summer in Colorado.
"During these eight years," said Mr. Foster, "I have touched the lives of 318 girls, which has been a great help to me, as I hope it has to them. Three of our number have passed beyond; forty-two of them are married and have homes of their own."

Football Men as Poney Ballet Girls Have Infinite Tribulations.
In the colleges they post-Christmas holidays the various student dramatic societies are taking the road with their plays, says the New York Sun, but it isn't the Drammer or the Drayma at all, at all—oh dear me, no!
The members of the "troupe" call it a "show" and the billposters—indeed they do have billposters, just like Georgia Cohan—the billposters label it a thing-amabob in two acts by a Student of the University, and not a professional in the whole lineup from the King to the chorus.
Author a Limerick Writer.
It began last wast winter when the Stage Manager met the Author, who wasn't the Author then, but only a Junior who wrote limericks for the college funny paper, on the way to class and told him that his last limerick had decided dramatic possibilities and that he really ought to write the show for next year. And the Author immediately had several ripping ideas—they came to him just as easy as nothing at all—and he cut his class and went home, and had inspirations for hours at a time. And after a while the show was done and Jones was cast to play the King, because Jones was so funny, and the chorus' qualified by kicking before a Committee and the rehearsals and the trouble began. Curtain.
When the curtain is lifted again it is the week after Christmas and the show is on the road. It comes to town borne on the wings of the industrious amateur press agent's passionate enthusiasm. The P. A. has written letters to every alumnus in town weeks and weeks before the show sails into port. And the alumnus digs down into his jeans for the price of two tickets, and calls up Philly of the Prom days, and says that the boys are coming to town with the show and would Philly, remembering the Prom days care to go? Then Philly hoists the "I'd love to" signal and the Press Agent's audience is assured. Very simple.
Pony Ballet Gets Harnessed.
But the real fun is not on the alumnus's side of the footlights by a long, long shot. It's "behind" with the members of the troupe. It's—nay, wait! Have you ever seen a six-by-two-foot youth with muscles distributed in bumps and a chest like a barrel try to get into a two-twow-inch corset? It's funnier than the King's fanciest line.
For of course there isn't a futter of genuine femininity in the whole show. Some of the chorus played football up till Thanksgiving. And in spite of the face rouse and the grease paint and the corsets and the No. 4 slippers, it's really very, very masculine, especially as to what Mr Dooley called "landwidge." Frit stance, Bill, the ex-wrestling champion, is being lashed in his stays for the pony ballet number by two stagchands and a scene shifter, all large, healthy men.
"At altogether now," says the first Stage Hand. "Yheave 'e'!"
"Sorry," says stage hand No. 2.
"but we've got orders to 'look it, and look it we will. Now!"
"Huh-hump," grunts the victim.
"Leg-go that half nelson on my supper."
"It isn't a predicament, Bill" says another of the troupe, who doesn't have to get into his till the second act, "it's a corset."
look we it.
"I—ouch—I'm hanged if—oofh—wow!—if I can move in this p-p-predicament."
"It's——," growls Bill. "Say, you fellows, am I all squeezed out at the ends?"
"Naw, your shape's a dream." "You're a peach, Bill."
"Go to supper with me, Bill." "Oh, you Venus," &c., until Bill, perspiring little grooves in his war paint, hides his agony by burrowing into the coffee and sandwiches provided for the troupe's supper.
So it goes through the dressing rooms, where the "chorus" is fighting its way into pink slippers and other things.

THE EXTENSION DIVISION,
Die And Be Honored.
"Die and be honored" seems to be the order at the University of Washington. The regents have just forbidden the unveiling of a medallion of Prof. Edmond S. Meany in Meany hall because of a rule against honoring any member of the faculty by the erection of a statue, bust, or medallion during the honored man's lifetime. Since the medallion was the gift of the sculptor, the Washington Daily very gently remarks that "it will probably be kept until the time comes when it may be unveiled without encroaching on the ironclad rules of the regents."
