ABOUT B0AnpINa

The students at Lawrence are giving
considerable attention, just now, to the
matter OF board. both on the ground of
economy and health. In the early part
OF this century, it was common thing
for student al the University Of Edin-
burg TO be seen leaving home carrying
his bag Of oatmeal. Perhaps the Edin-
burg student Was quite as successful
living en- oatmeal az q student
now. days, boarding at a frst-
class hotel. The stomech and brain are
very close associates, and little dis
elimination in the matter of diet is nee
cessnrY If We would get the best results.
The following, along this line, We clip
from the University Courier, published
in the interest ofthe State University:
The HILLSIDE dining club held meet
ing last week and elected Ike following
officers: President, Richard Saort; stew
| ara, ID q. Kennedy; treasurer, w. L
Higgins; secretary. w. r Cone; execu-
tive committee, Pcot. Carruib, W. 8
jerks. The club Is in excellent condi.
ton, and her success has established
/ permanently the club system among L.
| 8 u students. A new era in boarding
has begun with the students, by which
those having but little money may Ooi
be deprived of the advantages of OuI
University simply because board is 81
f, high. Board is the first thing people
mention when you talk 10 them Of the
University. They say We cannot afford
a.! to pay from four 10 six dollars per wee
when at other schools only two and hall
and three dollars is charged Much
praise Is due to the two professors who
haYe taken such an active part IN aiding
the students In .his most necessary
enterprise. There are now about one
hundred boarding in clubs, sixty o.
wnom are at the Hillside club There i:
still one neglected feature The ladies
are still subjected TO the clemencies o
the citizens of Lawrence, and until
board can be made cheaper for both
sexes, the great mass of students will
continue to patronize such schools a

they could not be as successful in thi:
noble enterprise as the boys.

Gen. Phil Sheridan has been for

Gen. Phil Sheridan has been for some years one of McCuIlough's intimates. He detected three years ago that the life the trage. dian was leading had affected his brain. Finding it impossible for the actor to avoid temptation, the beau sabreur urged him 10 flee from his fair foes and take refuge in the wiIds of the west, where the star routes made the mails so uncertain that the scented billets doux might not reach him, or if they did would have lost all their perfume by the time they came to hand. A party was made up to explore the Yellowstone re- zion, with the general at its head and with Mccullough as the guest. He roughed it with the for two months, and came back ruddy and robust, but took him up again and made him the wreck he is to-day.
