THE WOMAN'S NUMBER
The woman's number of the Daily Kansan came off the press last Friday afternoon only a few minutes late, and, when once in the hands of the student readers it did not appear vastly different from other numbers of the paper that the men have been publishing all year. The news of the hill was covered completely, society news was given more space and the general make-up and tone of the sheet was good.
However, there is a good reason for this excellence in the woman's edition of the Daily Kansan. Many of the names that appeared over the signed stories are those of young women who have been writing news stories for the columns of the Daily Kansan all the year, and who have become as expert as many of the men in the field of college newspaper work.
in a very great measure, Friday's issue was published by those women who are taking work in the department of journalism and who are learning newspaper making with the boys.
This shows the fallacy in the ruling at the Pulitzer School of Journalism in New York City. There, the women are not permitted to enroll in the courses. Undoubtedly, they can do the work as well as men, there are special fields for women in newspaper work that they can cover far better than men. They have shown that, in Kansas at least, the journalism department is accomplishing something for them as well as for the men, in training them for special work and in managing a paper of their own.
The Chemical engineers who took a five-day trip to Kansas City and St Louis in search of knowledge returned last night in plenty of time to work in some of their new smells and odors on the Engineers' parade tomorrow.
THEY TALKED BETTER
At last in the fifth year of the annual debates with the Tiger, the Jayhawk was able to get in the last word with the judges and leave an impression with them favorable enough to obtain the decision last Friday night.
The men who went on the rostrum for Kansas to argue on "The Recall of Judges" were prepared to discuss every phase of their subject. They were experts. They know their subject well. Their presentation of the subject Friday night was the climax of months of reading in the libraries, hard work in writing and revising various arguments and the practice of a delivery that won for them.
This victory of the state University of Kansas over that of Missouri represents a victory on the platform over the entire state of Missouri. The students of the entire state of Kansas have been working on debates for the past few years in the high schools and in the colleges of the state. At last the University, representing the state, has succeeded in taking first honors in debate and it is an honor that it has brought to the state.
STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith.
In a communication to the Daily Kansan, Carl Cannon, editor of the Jayhawker, misquotes an editorial which says, "We're going to the Oread Magazine, and replies to it.
To the Daily Kansan:
Mr. Cannon makes the Oread say, "A large portion of the joke section of the Jayhawker was cut out at the request of the faculty," when in reality, an exact quotation from the Oread reads: "Any (jokes) which caused the dioxygen to effervesce too freely, thereby imprinting 'impurities,' were neatly trimmed out and numbered among those not present."
The Oread editorial states a fact which Mr. Cannon admits, in his communication; i. e. that the material for the book was examined by the University authorities before it went to the publisher, and that anything to which the authorities objected, was cut out. It is not that the images were trimmed from the book, so long as the fact remains that censorship existed.
There is absolutely no strife between the Oread Magazine and the Jayahawk. The Magazine does not believe that the quality of the annual was damaged in the least by the censorship that has been exerted over it, but the editors of the Oread object seriously to the principle of faculty censorship over any student publication.

MRS. MALAPROP'S IDEA OF EDUCATION
By Richard Brinsley Sheridan
SIR Anthony Absolute. Why, Mrs.
Maloprop, in moderation now,
what would you have a woman
know?
Mrs. Malaprop. Observe me, Sir Anthony, I would by no means wish a daughter of mine to be a progeny of learning; I don't think so much learning becomes a young woman; for instance, I would never let her meddle with Greek or Hebrew, or algebra, or simony, or fluxions, or paradoxes, or such inflammatory branches of learning—neither would it be necessary for her to handle any of your mathematical, astronomical, diabolical instruments. But, Sir Anthony, I would send her, at nine years old, to a boarding-school in order to learn a little ingenuity and artifice. Then, sir, she would have a supercilious knowledge in accounts; and as she grew up, I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of contagious countries. Above all, Sir Anthony, she should be mistress of orthodoxy, that she might not mis-spell and mis-pronounce words so shamefully as girls usually do; and likewise that she might reprehend the true meaning of what she is saying. This, Sir Anthony, is what I would have a woman know,—and I don't think there is a superstitious article in it.
LUCILE
A few years ago—just two weeks and a nod it would seem—she was a little brown-eyed, tow headed, flower-faced kiddie, running around on North Merchant Street. Then in a wink she was a tall, long-legged tom-boy of a girl with big questioning eyes—all afloat with dreams. She had long pigtails of hair, and she went roaming all over Union Street playing with the neighbors' babies. Now the paperboy is to be able to carry the Sister University, and she is a full-bodied young woman. Doubtless she has a bead—maybe half a dozen beaux. Tomorrow in another wink she will be spoiling her grandchildren.
The problem of the spring hat has no terror for the young women of the home economics department of Iowa State College. They are making their own hats. Likewise, they are designing, cutting, fitting and sewing a new dress each. They are doing it as a part of their laboratory work in the home economics course, under the direction of trained instructors.

THIS PLACES OXFORD
EVEN WITH GEO. ADE
The American Undergraduate Would Need a Hand-Glossary in Strolling in English Quad.
Now that there are so many Rhodes scholars from the United States at Oxford, the great American "slanguage," as Punch calls it, is likely to be, if it hasn't been already, enriched with some choice examples of the extraordinary jargon that is spoken in lieu of plain English by the undergraduates at that classic scale of learning. I had heard of Oxford slang, but never had dream of its extent until I met Paul Mackenzie when I visited a young English friend who is at Magdalen, which they prefer to call "maundal."
After a frugal lunch of bread, cheese and beer in his chambers, we sallied forth and were crossing the "quad," when one of my friend's fellow-students bore down upon him and a conversation very much as follows took place:
"Hullo, Thompson, my buck, how goes it?"
"Rotten, Smithers, rotten. Guest at a Cupper last night. No brekker. Tried to keep a lekker at John's but got no father than the Maggers' Memugger when I felt queer and had to turn back. And the Dagger's got his knife into me. Not enough rollers."
"Me, too. I'm gated for the rest of the term because of a harmless little binge at my digs. I say, Thompkins, it's so bad that the priceless; in fact, quite top-hole."
"Nat but not gadgy, ain't it? Lord knows when I shall be able to pay for it. The waggier-pagger-bagger's simply overflowing with bills. Incidentally I've been having a talk with the Mugger and he thinks I'm booked for a gulf. Heard that the Pragger Waggier is coming up to us?"
"So they say. Going to be a Trin-
dog. What's the matter, Thompson,
you're not looking very fit? Ought
to do a meadow every morning."
"Rather! They nearly had me in St. Ode's last night and the Provy warned me in our last conversation time I should be sent down. So long."
That is a fair "composite" one of several conversations that would have put George Ade to the blush. The following glossary of the above dialogue may throw some light on what it was all about. A "cupper" at Oxford is a supper to celebrate the winning of a cup. "Brekker," of course is slang for breakfast, and "lekter "for lecture. The "Maggers" Memugger is the "Marty's Memorial," the "dagger" is the dean and the "a roller" is a call. A "binge," as you may have guessed, is a convival gathering, and a "weaker" is a waiscoat. "Wager-pagger-bagger" is "short" for wastepaper-hasket. The "Mugger" is the master of a college, and a "gulf" is taken by a man who whips him out, examineth but only does well enough to pass without honors. The "Pragger Wagger" is the prince of Wales, while a "Trindog" is a member of Trinity college. To "do a meadow" is to run around Christian church meadows before breakfast. The "Proggins" is the proctor, and the "bullers" are his "bull dogs" or attendant minions, while "Provvy" is Oxfordese for Provost. It is up to one of the Rhodes scholars to write some "Fables in Oxford Slang."—From the Denver Republican.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
A GLOSSARY.
TO THE VIRGINS
Gather the rosebuds while ye may. Old Time is still a flying;
And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying.
The glorious lamp of Heaven, the sun,
The higher he's a getting,
The lighter he's a getting.
The sooner will his race be run.
And nearer he'r to setting.
The age is best which is the first,
where youth and blood are
When youth and blood are warmer
When children are the worst
Times still succeed the former
Then be not coy, but use your time,
And, while ye may, go marry;
Having, write ye may, go marry;
For having lost but once your prime,
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.
—ROBERT HERRICK.
Everybody knows that fraternal orders perform an important function in society and that they are worthy of the encouragement that they receive. Lawrence has always been hospitable to such organizations and in return has become a large place on the map of fraternaldom. One of the most impressive Masonic temples in the West may be seen in this city. The Eagles lodge has a fine new building. The Fraternal Aid Association has its general offices here, housed in a magnificent three story office building. Other orders enjoy the prosperity that comes with large membership. The fraternal spirit is strong in the Athens of Kansas.
