FRESHMAN SAVES TO MAKE PORTLAND TRIP Spends Only Two Cents on Meals. Writes Jauntily of Methods John Doe, the newest member. . of The Daily staff, is saving liis money for the trip to Portland. Following the advice of science, he has started out to live on 50 cents a week. From day to day he will chronicle the way he managed to scrape through the day without spending any mon ey. By John Doe, '17. Man can live on 5 cents a week. 1 am going to make that Portland trip if I have to be shipped as a skel eton. No musical student of Kansas can lead where I can’t follow. My allow ance for internal sustenance is 19 bucks per month and I eat every meal; it means three bowls a day. When the month is dead I have gone the limit. Wednesday I knew 1 couldn't afford to burden the G. N. with my frame for that Rose City joyride. But now I can negotiate the distance and wear a rooter’s hat. It’s a cinch; beat any pipe dream ever smoked. When Thursday's Daily an nounced that a K. U. student had lived on 50 cents a week, 1 took stock and retrenched. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley says: ‘‘Two cents worth of whole wheat ground in an ordinary coffee grinder and cooked in a double boiler will furn ish sufficient nourishment for one meal for a family of six.” By alge bra and geometry I deduced that John Doe, alias Yours Truly, sleep ing till his S o'clock and thus miss ing breakfast, could live on said two grains, or rather cents worth of un dressed wheat for three days. Stu dents in higher mathematics can see that it totals 5 cents a week. It’s a sure tiling. 1 started yester day. Quit my establishment of bliss ful parboiled food and drew a check for 5 cents. Fact is when that little club was cooked it looked as though it would last a lifetime, but I saw my duty and did it nobly. I partitioned it into fourteeir messes and last night devoured one. I'm alive. Now I don’t necessarily intend to be a mis er. I can still extract . few cents a week and have a Portland fund. Anything edible 1 see and can grasp I will devour. Also I am trusting in fate. Ouija is my patron. Anyway most girls believe in it- Science, save Dr. Wil ey, be hanged. ITiladylike, but ex pressive. Ouija advised me to go to the gym yesterday morning. I did. Irreligious men were scrubbing the floor; aftermath of a dance the previous night. _ I entered; looked around a bit; departed. When I reached home 1 had a bag of marsh mallows; left over from the marsh mallow race. That was my Sunday dinner. The coating of the “marshs” I scraped over my piece de resist- j ance—whole wheat—as an icing. I lunched on the w. w. I weigh 165. But, hist, a friend approaches, and methinks I odorize a meal. -Ouija, guard me!—Washington Daily. Joe Jones, half-back, who is recover ing from injuries.
