It has to come whether you feel funny or not. With eight-hundred-sixty-nlne (869) lines of Latin and five (5) History outlines from last week, glaring at you, you must, forsooth, throw Intellectual handsprings and skin literary cats! Every one else has some excuse to write, but Notes and Comments must be "struck off," as Mr. Gladstone said "at a single time by the brain and purpose of man." N. and C. could of course note the occurrences which oc cur about the university, and comment thereon, but he Is too busy, trying to make up his back work to see any thing; he forgets to go to his classes and invariably uses his eight o'clock gait. He sees nothing and therefore must make up something out of his Lead. It has already been noted that other writers ha.ve something to work on, for instance: The athletic man: The last week on the gridiron shows a marked im provement. and are doing wonderful work at and (Fill the blanks with the names of your frat. brothers and their posi tions.)

A correspondent suggests that, "the health and comfort of students would be better provided for, if some instruc tors would pay more attention to the ventilation of recitation rooms." How true this is! If the correspondent will give the names of the offending instructors, It will give this depart ment great pleasure to expose them In a roast that will make them exper ience the need of more ventilation themselves. Provided that the in structors, under whom we are work ing, shall bo "let down easy" as the poet expresses it. In the moantimo we will discuss ventilation for the benefit of the uninformed. The careful reader will soon discover that this is written for the benefit of the writer. The great trouble with the instructor li that he overestimates tho value of fresh air. He opens all the windows -except the one opposite his desk and starts the trouble. While ho Is warm ing up to his subject the class is slow ly freezing up and catching cold In its heads The class is a hydra-headed animal hence "Its heads."

Vose, cap tain of the second team had an inter esting experience with a bicycle a short time ago. He had to go to his room on Q street in double time and borrowed Manager Tukoy's wheel, whether with tho owner's permission or not does not appear. Let these stars represent the time wnlch elapsed. "Tuke" was looking for his machine, he needed it and didn t caro who knew it. Some more time passed. Then the Captain was seen leading tho bicycle up the walk; apparently It did not wish to come for he was walking slowly, and there was a pained expression and a large raw place on his face. From his disjointed account it ap pears that he was making good gains up Q street when he saw a pile of bricks, from the car tracks, about four feet high,' extending almost across ihe street. He decided , promptly that a run around the right end was the proper play. Then according to his account it was night and he observed a very brilliant meteoric display. This is altogether Improbable. Whether the wheel misunderstood the signal, or merely acted on its own responsibility will never be known, but instead of making an end run it bucked the line the bricks tackled low and held the wheel, but tho Cap tain went over for a touch down. 4 You want the finest..

Yet such was so, It wag when the Profespor first made his debut as a whcplman. Practice had mnde him so proflcent that the wheel could only throw him three times out of tlve, and certain member oi the faculty had suggested that he wa afraid to ride. All went well till our hero came to tho asphalt on N street. The sprink ler had just turned the dust on the streat Into a slippery paste of about tho consistency or inconsistency of soft soap.
