FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1912. Good Morning! Have you founded a sorority? THE CLOG OF ALLOWANCE That the poor man who works his way through the University, never knowing where the next meal is coming from is entitled to a great deal of praise, has been the opinion of orators and popular lecturers ever since the colleges have been educating. And they have not been diffident about advancing their opinions. Nor have their opinions been wholly in the wrong. Only there has been neglected the type of students, son of rich parents, who comes to the University with his every want provided for, his every whim gratified and who then makes good. Of course he is the rarer specimen, but that only proves his finer worth. The poor self dependent student has to make good. He has the greatest stimulants of Hunger and Want to make him work, and in obeying them he learns the lessons of application and persistence. He cannot fall, because he is in the hands of Nature and Nature will always provide for her children. Therefore we should not fail to give due credit, and we should not look on it as a matter of course when a man succeeds in his college course, although burdened with a comfortable allowance. But that child of Wealth cut off from the ministrations of Nature and her efficient forces for the development of character, is a strong man and a fighter if he survives. TO THE LAWYERS Standing as it does, in the keystone position among Kansas lawyers, the School of Law is the fitting host of the Institute. The faculty of the School has taken a prominent part in the activities of the Institute, and its work can be aided, to a considerable extent by co-operation with the University. The University welcomes the lawyers and criminologists of the state. The annual session of the Kansas Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology is being held in Green hall this afternoon and the convention closes with a banquet at the Eldridge house tomorrow noon. Co-operation in every state activity, has always been the policy of the University, and the meeting of the Institute offers an excellent opportunity for the University to be of more real service. The Institute will find, in the University of Kansas, a willing assistant, in the important work of suggested revision for the criminal law code of the State. The Laws are trying Hamlet for the murder of Polonius. The next case on the docket is presumably that of the state versus Brutus, Cassius, Casca, et al. After making a series of meals off the little Tiger cubs all over Missouri during the past week, the appetite of Sherwin's men is in fine shape to tackle the big Tiger himself at Columbia this afternoon. SPEAK A GOOD WORD FOR OLD now is the time when trains from all over Kansas are bearing to the big city, throngs of wide-eyed shy and diffident boys and girls still wearing their high school pins and who are just entering upon the ocean of their Experience. Perhaps they are going to visit relatives, as a reward for graduation, and will return home when the corn is ready to plow. Perhaps they have secured work and will enter on a life of useful labor. Perhaps the big city will swallow them up, and they will never again see the green hedges of the old home. Some of them, of course, look for ward to a continuance of their education at a higher institution of learning, possibly at this University. Their opinions of a college will be largely influenced by the students and graduates of that college that they chance to meet, now, when they are resolved to go to college, but cannot decide just where. You will meet the high school graduate during your vacation this summer, at home in the small town, at apprentice work in the city, or on his summer vacation. You will be asked first, if your college education has benefitted you. This should be easy to answer. You will be asked then how you came to choose the best University in the West as your Alma Mater. And if you are a loyal son of Kansas University, that high school graduate the very first chance he gets, will sit right down and write to Registrar Foster. BETWEEN SOUP AND PIE Stude (After trying to season his omatoes)—Do you know, this salt hocks me. Co-ed (sitting next)—Why! !! Stude—Its' so coarse. Headline from a College daily paper, "Faculty Prepares a Final Torture." No doubt the faculty intended quiz week to be a season of real profit and satisfactory to the students of the University, and a torture only to the poor instructors who must needsrade the papers. The fact that the 1912 "Jayhawk-er" is the best ever published gives grounds for the belief that possibly the entire edition will be sold out. And when it is, there will be the usual number of people vexed with themselves because they didn't "do their Annual shopping early." Since the Board of Regents have been forced to put the ban on cigarette smoking on the campus, the students in the School of Law will encounter difficulty in finding a substitute antidote for the aroma coming from the basement of the Museum where the saw-bones hold forth. Cigarettes are evil-smelling things to some people anyway. THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE "If I have dined, bring me the bill. If I haven't bring me steak and mushrooms." —Tid-Bits. "Walter!" said the absent-minded Professor. "Who?" I love to see the baseballist "Yes, sir!" Frantic Fusser—I'm crazy about—" Cruel Roommate—About three fourhs of the time. "Distance lends enchantment." "Not with a girl in a taxi." Charnarreel oh! I hate the four lies That fall on my straw bat —Sphinx. That fall on my straw hat! —The Widow. Chaparral. —Jack-o-Lantern. "Barely so." "Was the dance a full-dress affair?" "Oh, yes for the men." "And the women?" Bing—Has she many suitors? Sting—Oh, yes, but none of them do Bing—Do what? Sting—Suitor. —Jack-o-Lantern. “What do I want now?” As if you didn’t know! ‘Im sure, if I’d any money of my own, I’d never ask you’ It’s painful to me, greedy knowledge! If there's anything in the world I hate—and you know it—it is asking you for money. I am sure, for myself, I'd rather go without a thing a thousand times—and I do, the more shame for you to let me! By Douglas William Jerrold MRS. CAUDLE URGING THE NEEDOF SPRING CLOTHING What do you say? "If it's painful, why so often do it?" I suppose you call that a joke—one of your club- jokes. As I say, I only wish Pd any money of my own. If there is any woman, the man woman, it is coming to a man's pocket for every farthing. It 's dreadful! Now, Caule, you hear me, for it isn't often I speak. Pray, do you know what name it looks like? And did you watch it look like today? —like nobody else's children! "What was the matter with them?" Oh, Caudle! how can you ask? Weren't they all in their thick merinoes and beaver bonnets? "You didn't see it?" The more shame for you! I'm sure those Briggs girls—the little minxes! put me into such a pucker, I could have pulled their ears for 'em over the pew. What do you say? "What of it?" What! You tell me that you didn't see how the Briggs girls in their new chips turned their noses up at em" And you didn't see how the Browns looked at the Smiths, and then at our creatures as much as to say, "Poor creatures!" what figures for the first of May!" What do you say? "I ought to be ashamed to own it?" Now, Cawle, it's no use talking; those children shall not cross over the threshold next Sunday, if they haven't things for the summer. Now mind—they sha'nt; and there's an end of it! Now, Caudle, dear! What a man you are! I know you will give me the money, because, after all, I think you love your children, and like to see 'em well-dressed. It's only natural that a father should. "I'm always wanting for clothes?" How can you say that? I'm sure there are no children in the world that cost their father so little; but that's it—the less a poor woman does upon, the less she may. "How much money do I want?" Let me see, love. There's Caroline, and Jane, and Susan, and Mary Anne, and— GAVE FIRST SENIOR GAVE FIRST SENIOR PLAY 20 YEARS AGO Class of 1892 Staged "Julius Caesar, Esq."—Only Men in the Cast at That Time. Class of 1892 Staged "Julius Cae- The senior play last night brought to the minds of many old University graduates the production of the first Play ever given at the University. "Julius Cesar, Esq." staged by the class of 1982 in the old Bowersock opera house was a burlesque on Shakespeares play and probably instroduced as many local hits as were given in "Done" last night. The two women's parts were taken by R. D. Brown, who is a lawyer in Kansas City, and Eugene Caldwell, his X-ray expert in a hospital in New York City. Governor Herbert Spencer Hallay, of Missouri, played the part of Brutus in this play, and his acting was one of the features of the evening. Professor E. F. Engle, now of the department of German of the University, Walter Truitt of Chanute, and Professor J. H. Sawtell, principal of the high school at Iola played the other men's parts. A feature that was probably unique, was the Senior Breakfast given at the Eldridge House, to which the proceeds of the play were devoted, and to which all members of the faculty were invited. One of the features of the play was the introduction of Dr. Snow's "chinch-bug infection." After one of the battles, when the field was strewed with dead and wounded, a nurse appeared in front and chinch-bug infection" and sprinkled it on the men. They immediately revived and the play went on. SO THEY ARE. Students at Wellesley have decided to cut out slang. They say it gets them in bad with people who are not hep to it—Dod Gaston in Topeka cap. The juniors were the guests of the seniors that night; the sophomores were the "mob" and "supes" in the audience. Did they get any if they had the price of admission. SO THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW "How much?" Now don't be in a hurry! Well, I think, with a good pinching—and you know, Caule, there's never a wife who can pinch closer than I can—I think, with pinching, I can do with twenty pounds. Well, how much money will it take? Let me see—I'll tell you in a minute. You always love to see the dear things look like new pins. I know that, Caudle; and though I say it—bless their little hearts!—they do credit to you. Caudle. What do you say? "I needn't count em! You know how many there are!" That's just the way you take me up! What! "You won't give half the money!" Very well, Mr. Caule; I don't care. Let the children go in rags; let them stop from church, and grow up like heathens and cannibals; and put their ear money, and, I suppose, be satisfied. What did you say? "Twenty fiddle-sticks?" What do you say? "Ten pounds enough?" Yes, just like you men; you think things cost nothing for women and I know how much you lay out upon yourself. "They only want frecks and bonnets?" How do you know what they want? How should a man know anything at all about it? And you may go shopping with it yourself, and see what you'll make of it! I'll have none of your ten pounds, I can tell you— no sir! No; you've no cause to say that. I don't want to dress the children up like countesses! You often throw that in my teeth, you do; but you know it's false, Caudie; you know it! I only wish to give 'em proper notions of themselves; and what, indeed, can the poor things think, when they see the Brigges, the Browns, and the Smiths—and their father don't make the money you do, Caudle—when they see them as fine as tulips? Why, they must think themselves nobody. However, the twenty pounds I will have, if I've any, or not a facturing. No, sir--no! I don't want to dress up the children like. peacocks and parrots! I only want to make 'em respectable. What do you say? "You'll give me fifteen pounds. No, Caunda—no! Not a penny will I take under twenty. If I did, it would seem as if I wanted money and I am proud when I come to think of it, twenty pounds will hardly do! TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELEBRITIES Q—"Kindly state your name, name." A. —"Alexander Martin Wilcox. Um no relation to Ella Wheeler." a Professor of Greek some dav? think when you were a little boy that you would be A. —No. My early life ran as quiet as when I asked by which I sported. I, am sported. I am 62 years old. My favorite diversion is tramping." Q. "How long have you been a tramp, doctor?" Q. —Don't they call you Bacchus or Pluto, or something, Mr. Wilcox?" A.—They call me Zeus. I know a lot about Greek things. Most of the hats that the girls wear are abominable. I have a very peculiar nature. When I hate a man I hate him." Q.—Were you ever in a Pasture A. "I mean walking." "I have never been bitten. When I was young years old I was singing in the choir. Q.-Were you ever in a Pasteur Institute, Professor?" Q. —'Why do you wear a night-cap, doctor?" A. —"My hair doesn's keep my head warm enough. I can't control myself when I hear good music." TIS STILL WITH US Q—"They say that you can talk Greek in your sleep, Mr. Wilcox?" I don't know. I am a liberal minded man. On the dance, let joy be unconfined, I say." IS SILKS WITH US "Where is the old dime novel gone?" "Gone? It's' gone up to $1.50." —Boston Transcript.
