In addition to their exercises in the gymnasium, the girls
have organized a walking club. If you wish to seethe tall
girl, the short girl, the new girl, your old girl, the black-eyed
girl, the blue-eyed girl, the jolly girl, the sober gtrl, the non-chewing-gum
girl; then stand on the corner of Twelfth
and R streets some evening just before the sun has kissed the
western hill tops and your wish will be gratified. Note the
difference in the carriage. Some have a hop and skip gait,
some are stiff and sedate, others shufille their feet along as if
they were out for a holiday. Some lean forward, others lean
back. Some keep eyes to the front, others look toward the
ground. Some are shy, others are bold. A few wear
glasses. Many have hats that entirely protect those in the
rear. In fact, in this club you will find the Amsrican college
girl in all her varieties. It is said that this club is seriously
thinking of arming themselves with mops and brooms some
evening and rout the whole battalion. Steps will be taken at
once by the captains to prevent a surprise. There arc other
things we would like to say hut remembering the awful fate
that overtook the poor young man in junior themes we will
subside.

across fields, now south, now north, now east, now west, the
pursued and the pursuer. The hares returned at 3:29 p. m.
having run as estimated about eight miles. Shue, the hound
first to return, came in at 3:35 p. in., making a gain of yi
minutes on the hares. The other hounds returned in the

The work m physical training has now closed for this its
first term. The instructor feels well satisfied with the prog
ress that has been made and with the outlook for the next
term. The students have shown thorough interest in the work,
although thus far it has been of necessity very elementary in
character, and lacking many attractive features of gymnasium
training.
The work of the young men for the coming term may be
classified under three headings: (1) prescribed exercise, based
on the results of a physical examination; (2) general class
drill; (3) miscellaneous exercises. The latter includes exer
cises on the bars, bowling, boxing, etc. Instruction in box
ing will be given to a limited number. All young men ent
ering the gymnasium will be required to take the prescribed
exercise and the class drill, and may elect such other work as
they choose, subject to the approval of the instructor.

The gymnasium Is being much improved and by the lime
school opens next term' it will be in much better shape than
heretofore. A thirty foo horizontal ladder has recently been
set up. Eleven sets of pulleys, arranged for different kind1
of work, have been added. Fairbanks standard scales may
be numbered among the late acquisitions. Also a lung tester
or, more properly speaking, a spirometer, has been put iiv
The bath room is being fixed up, and next term the boys may
soak as often as they see fit. Several bowls, a needle bath,
and five shower baths will be put in. This arrangement will
be quite satisfactory for sonic time and will rcphce the
wooden pail and tin wash dish that have been' donated by
some loyal youth.
The following song was composed and sung at Crete imme
diately after the battle:
Way out in the meadow where the sand-burrs grow,
Listen to my tale of woe.
There was where we made a score of thirty-two
And left the champions feeling rather blue.
Too true, boo hoo,
Listen to my tale of woe!
CHORUS.
To the Omaha lice they wrote one night,
And claimed their team was out of sight;
It was, too true, boo hoo,
Listen to my tale of woe!
Sweeney bucked the line, but he had no show,
Listen to my tale of woe.
Mains tried it, too, but he couldn't get through;
By a brilliant player he was tackled low.
Too true, boo hoo,
Listen to my tale of woe!
CHORUS.
To the Omaha Bee, etc.
They play foot ball because they love it so.
Listen to my tale of woe.
They claimed to be champions and we did too;
We started for the goal and we went right through.
Too true, boo hoo,
Listen to my talc of woe!
CHORUS.
To the Omaha Bee, etc.
