An Example of the Topeka Street CaI

Why is it that the people of Topeka
who have been able to erect a good
auditorium and who encourage every
undertaking in connection with it by
patronizing it, seem absolutely helplesl
when it comes to proper street car facil,

the enjoyment of the evening to be
packed into small, not overly clear

II. u. Students sFlunl<. %

Lawrence, Kan, Feb 5.-The records
of Register Foster, of the University of
Kansas, show that 90 students failed in
two of their three studies. When a
student fails in more than one study he
is not allowed to continue his course at
the institution without first securing the
consent of the faculty. The "hunks," as
they are known in university parlance,

most cases the victims are freshmen
and are able to convince the faculty that
they will do better next term.
