' The QirlB' Tournament, with Its
unique parade, class songs, yells and
enthusiastic basket-ball games Is now
a matter of history.
First came the grand march, headed
by a brass band, and then following,
came Grecian maidens in long, flowing
robes playing upon their fluteB. The
"Well Read" and Phi Beta Kappas
were there in stately cap and gown,
yfith nimble brownies dancing hither
and thither about them. Flower girls
scattered red blossoms to the specta
tors, clowns and gypsies performed
their tricks as they marched along.
Every class had its mascot, the Black
Masque girls were quite fetching in
Rough Rider costume and the Silver
Serpents had a band of music. Me-

Tho special mooting of the Senior
class yesterday morning was given
over to tho discussion on tho mattor
of What roprosontation on tho Corn
huskor should bo allottod to tho
Medics.
Tho lmmodiato question that
br.ought forth much argumont was
whothor or not tho Medics should bo
given a managing editor or an asso
ciate managing editor. A sot of reso
lutions brought up at a former moot
ing suggested giving them equal rep
resentation with that of tho law stu
dents, but yesterday Roy Popporborg
proposed an ajnondmont to tho effect
that instead of a managing editor an
associate managing editor should bo

scene with their presence, and an ele

farmers-to the Tournament. All tho
costumes from tho pumpkin up and
down were well gotten up, and moBl
attractive In colors.
Class spirit was expressed by songs
and yells, the Juniors being much In
evidence in this part of tho perform
ance. A few of the "other co-eds"
were present dressed as girls, but as
soon as two of them mado their ap
pearance upon the floor, they were
promptly pursued .by the Black
Masque girls and driven beyond tho
sacred precincts of the Armory.
Excitement ran high thruout the
interclass basket-ball games and the
games showed faithful work and prac
tice on the part of the girls. The
first game was between Seniors and
Juniors in which the Seniors won by
a score of 10 to 14. The Sophomore
Freshmen game ended with a sqore of
8 to 6 In favor of the Sophomores. Tho
final game to decide the championship
was rather close for a time, the

considerable difficulty finding their
respective regalia last evening. It
seems Mr. Uhl promised some fair
maiden his stock of uniforms for the
parade in the afternoon and later
delivered them to another of the girls
whom he supposed to represent the
first. He found out his mistake later,
and to save his head unlocked the
room where the down-stairs boys keep
their attire. It will be some time be
fore the membor,s of the two detach
ments feel sure that they are wearing
their own uniforms.
On 8ae This Morning.
The tickets for the Gymnastic Ex
hibition on the twenty-third go on
sale this morning at the book stores
and at Porter's. Last year all the
tickets were sold out before the even
ing of the event and probably the
dame thing will occur again this year.
As all tickets are reserved, the first to
come will get best choice of seats.
Tickets are twenty-five and thirty-five
cents. ,
8ong of the Senior.
Oh, Thursday was my Jonah-day,-Never
had any luck any time;
If it's Thursday when I try to play,
Then I knows they will beat mo fine.
If I tax my courage for a Thursday
game,
All the Sophomores smile as if they
. thought It tame,
And they say, "Fair maid, go change
your namo,
The Sophomores are all sorry it's your
Jonah-day."

Banana Tree at 8tate Farm.
The hothouse at the State Farm con
tains a wonder in the form of a real
f fruit-bearing banana tree some 'ten
feet high. The tree has been carefully
tended for a number of years, but this
is tho first year that the keepers have
been able to get It to bear fruit. It
now bears a fine bunch of bananas of
about tho normal size. The fruit has
been the object of great interest at
the Farm for some time, and is now
rapidly ripening.
members. His reason for this amend
ment was that the Medics have a much
smaller per cent of representation in
tho class than have the Laws or Aca
demics. Although tho percentage basis was
explained to the class at some length
by means of facts and figures, few
seemed to grasp the significance of It,
or at least to get Mr. Pepporburg's
point of view, -and tho amendment
was voted down. It was at last de
cided to give the medical men the
same representation as that enjoyed
by the Laws; that is, a managing edi
tor and four members on the staff.
The Junior class at its meeting re
ceived the report of its committee ap
pointed a few days ago to confer on
the matter with a similar 'committee
from the Senior class, and this com
mittee presented a resolution that tho
Medlos be allowed a managing editor
ship, tho It had not done any confer
ring. This resolution was passed, but
not until after an amendment had
been passed making the resolution go
into effect next year; that Is, for the
