KO. 9. locaii nkws. COS ed Junior liil not know. The names of nil (ho others were found under the head ing, "Freebooters," or those who have wilfully broken the rules, and contributed nothing to the financial support ol the Studkmt. Can this dream have been prompted by the guilty conscience of a devotee of cannon-nidingV If there is any truth in dreams, it's rather rough on the advanced students, for then the can non problem is solved. Miss Fairfield and Miss Shuekman, while out riding the other day were thrown from tiie buggy, and had a narrow escape from serious injury. As it was, however, they smashed one of the hind wheels of the buggy, and seriously injur ed their complexions by a rather too de cided application of the campus to their faces. As soon as- spring opens they in tend to set out a tree on the spot where they fell, to commemorate the event. One of the young ladies expresses her seusa tions in the following manner: "OIU SMASHUIV We went out riding in a "ono horso hack ' Down ns fur as the " Commercial " anil liaok. Noting all objects without delay, Mttlo dreaming ofa "runaway." What was our surprisu on antoring thu gutu. The horse dashed forward nt a 2:40 rate, Tipping us out upon the ground Heforc wo hnd time to look around. Aunie went first and May wont last. Then came the feat, the wagou (lew past; The horse reared and plunged and duelled. Hut above it was heard May are you smashed." "No, but At.nie run and tell my father To come out here " Hcauty " is such a bother: The mean, old thing I thought sho was la.y. But now she acts a if she was crazy." " Oh, my dress is tore and my fact is black, What will the students say Jo that? " " Here are some p ins, now hurry on, Or the horse will start and I'll be gone." " Hold her fast and don't let her start; And I'll tell your father, bless his heart. To come and tend to the one horse hack, Thai couldn't go to the Commercial and bacK." At his feet she told the talc; And beged the Cliuiic, trembling and pale, To come and rescue his daughter May. Who distorted and pale on the campus lay. One of the students is addicted to wearing a plug hat. Our special artist presents the followig sketch of him: Yours Truly Olc- At the annual meeting of the Hkspk max Studknt Association, the following corps of officers was elected for the ensu ing year; C. E. Stratton, Union Editor-in-chief; F. 0. Morton, Palladian Editor-in-chief; S. I). Cox, Local; May B. Fairfield, Associate; J. II, Worley, President; II. K. Wolfe, Treasure; Helen Judkins Sccreta ry. Under the efllcient administration of these ladies and gentlemen the Student will take a high rank in college journal ism. The re-election of Mcsscrs Morton and Stratton was a very appropriate compliment to the ability they have dis played in conducting the affairs of the paper in the year just closed. Mr. Cox as Local will be immense. His humor is rich and rncy, and if any one can make an interesting record of the meagre evuiits of the University, Mr. Cox is the man. Miss Fairfield as a reviewer will be a "star." We give our exchanges fair warning that the lance af a " foeman wor thy of Iheir steel" is about to touch their shields. As a spicy society critic she has never had an equal in the school and her pungent wit will, we believe, give her an enviable reputation in the journalistic field. -.-.
