WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1912 PROFESSOR HOAD The departure of Professor Hoad will take from the University one of its most valued workers. It is not only the University who will lose, but the state at large. Professor Hoad's work put him and the University in close touch with the people of the state, and helped show them how they might make the University of greater usefulness to those who could not attend it. At Michigan Professor Hoad will receive double his present salary, and a corresponding increase of rank. His duties will be to head the sanitary engineering department there and to advise cities of the state on sanitary matters. Professor Hoad is a graduate of the University, of the class of '98, and has since been associated almost continuously with the University. His removal will be regretted by many friends in Lawrence. Fools learn nothing from wise men, but wise men learn much from fools. —Lavater. $5 FOR A TICKET When the price of the Student Enterprise tickets was raised from three to five dollars, the change was not made without sufficient reason on the part of the committee in charge of the Enterprise fund. Students will appreciate this fully, when it is explained that the Athletic Association which is the biggest factor in the associated enterprises is sadly in need of money that can be obtained in no other way except by general student support. As a direct result of the removal of the Missouri-Kansas football game from Kansas City to the college towns, the net proceeds from that game have fallen from approximately ten thousand dollars to half that amount. For the proper support of athletic interests at the University, much more money than the teams were able to earn in the past year is necessary, and the additional charge for the Enterprise Ticket is the only practical way in which it may be obtained. A large expenditure will be made upon McCook field this summer in building new bleachers and in residing the athletic field. Although Student Enterprise tickets will be made good for the Missouri game here next fall, when the management of the two universities settle the gate receipts and the expenses, Kansas will be forced to pay to Missouri a certain per cent of the receipts for their student tickets and place them on a par with the single admission tickets sold before the game. No loyal student supporter of athletics will care to raise a question concerning the new price of the athletic ticket. They will give the enterprise association their unqualified support. The ticket is undoubtedly worth more than the money asked for it. Forty entertainments are offered which would cost no less than thrice the cost of the ticket, and even before the football season is over, the student has received full value for the money he has expended. LOYALTY OF THE RIGHT SORT The members of the senior class have shown in their meeting that they appreciate the efforts of the editor and manager of the Jayhawker this year, in giving the class the best book the University has ever had. The motion to make an assessment of one dollar and a half betrays the right spirit among the class men, and, although heretofore, some trouble has been experienced in making the collection of an assessment of that nature, scarcely any should be encountered in obtaining his money. This assessment is not one of the brand imposed upon the class after being "fixed" in a secret meeting of some of the unknown financial officers, but rather one made in open meeting responding to a call for help and the seniors will pay without more question. Candor looks with equal fairness t both sides of a subject—Noah Vebster. STRAWBERRIES VS. PRUNES Not the slightest of the considerations that must be considered when discussing the real or supposed decline of the mental power of the American college Undergraduate is the dict upon which he subsists while he is in college. The old-time collegian, whose praises are continually being sung was a giant mentally and a wonder for concentration. He ate for breakfast oatmeal, porridge, and Prunes. For dinner he had as dessert, Prune Pie. And for supper, Prunes in their own rich brown juice, au natural, as it were. Upon this fare he conquered Mathematics, surmounted the difficulties of Latin, Greek, and mastered the Humanities. But now the handmade of prosperity, insidious luxury, has crept in and corrupted the standards of college living. Instead of stewed prunes, we have strawberries and cream. Instead of prune pie we have strawberry short-cake. Instead of oatmeal and prunes, we have a certain shredded preparation and strawberries, * * * * * and there has grown up in University life a scorn of the humble prune. To say that a person is "full of prunes" is to convey to him the fullest measure of contempt. Prunes are the food of the hoi polli, the bourgeoisie, the cannelle. It is not for us to eat them. Pass the Prunes? Forsooth! But the breast of the American undergraduate still holds a spark of true democracy, and an appreciation, though sometimes, alas, concealed by shame, of true worth and humble utility. Deep down in our hearts we cherish a fondness for the nutritious prune that is unsatisfied even by strawberries at twenty cents a box. And while no one has yet been so bold as to demand prunes publically, and no landlady has yet been so regardless of the dictates of aristocratic pride as to set a dish of stewed prunes on the table, yet there are indications, and it is hoped that, that despised but invigorating fruit is about to enter into an era of good repute, and high favor among students of the University. It has cost many a man life or fortune for not knowing what he thought he was sure of.—J. Staples White. SUCCESS The municipal paving plant in Kansas City is in charge of Dr. Cross and Mr. Pleasant; and we suppose that Dr. Cross is pleasant and Mr. Pleasant is cross—Chicago Tribune. In days gone by, Mr. Pleasant was affable with all except, the Tiger football warriors, and even now we surmise that his paving plant is laying out paved streets pleasant to cross. The action of the senior class yesterday in levying an assessment of $1.50 to cover the deficit on the Jayhawkens was just and proper. It was a good decision, but not without the honor of the class was at stake, it having previously agreed to stand the deficit. The annual this year was undoubtedly the best ever issued and the entire Board deserves congratulations for their labors. So far, so good. STUDENT OPINION WHITEWASH STUDENT OPINION The editor is not responsible for the views expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith. However, the manager's own statement shows that he exercised poor business judgment and allowed his boss to give a book. It shows that with all books sold and all collections made, that even then the publication will be more popular than any vice of this statement, the senior class meeting yesterday gave a vote of thanks, confidence and praise for the success of his business management and conduct of this year's annual. This is carrying the matter too far. The class should pay the deficit, but let the responsibility fall on the managers—on the manager, who might have checked expenditures, had not his desire and that of his Board, outweighing the budget. It looks like whitewash, pure and simple. The meeting yesterday was attended by only a few members of the annual Board and their friends. TWO MINUTES WITH CAMPUS CELBRITIES Q. "I wish to see the Secretary and Purchasing Agent of this institution." BURTON P. SEARS. A. —I am he. I have been the S, and P. A. since 1907. I get pretty discouraged sometimes. I am married to Ernest Brown is the name I go by." A.—"I was born in England in 1876. I can buy anything I want to. I can be responsible hangs on me. I and the dead de mer when I crossed the ocean." Q. —"What is your real name then?" Q. —Did you ever read 'King Brady's Last Raid?'? A. "That is merely the chimical offspring of a visionary brain. I can see the P. C. from my window if I want to. I don't want to." A. "About three inches. I like to wear it short so it won't hide my face. I have been vaccinated and baptized two or three times. I am in pretty good shape. I was a gold miner once. It was a lot easier money than this, too. I love to read good poetry and books." Q. "How long have you worn your mustache, Mr. Brown?" Q—How about the report that you are going to resign to become the President of the company? A. —No, I am too busy to keep with literature at all. I generally go around unarmed. I am afraid of the woman." COMBINE FUN AND PROFIT IN READING Professor Thorpe Gives Class a List of Books for Summer Perusal "Some summer and profitable reading," was the way Prof. Merle Thorpe put it as he gave out a list of books to members of the newspaper class this morning. "It's seldom that 'oungness' and fun come to mind, but I find entertainment and instruction hand in these books," he said. Professor Thorpe thinks that an all-round newspaper man ought to know Colonel Newcome as well as Napoleon I; he ought to be as well acquainted with D'Artagnan, Athos, and Gervais, with Roosevelt, Garfield, Pinard, Cinnabar, and Stubbs. Anyway here's the list; cut it out and paste it in your hat; The Three Musketeers, Dumas. Eugene Candela, Bel. The Master of Ballantrae, Stevenson. Tale of Two Cities, Dickens The Former Louse House Toss of the D'Urbervilles. A visitor's trolls (A Nobleman's Nest), Burundi. Eugenie Grandet, Balzae. Treasure Island, Stevenson. Pere Goriot, Balzac. Thaskeray, The Newcomes. Tissue of the Dijksterville. A Loar of the Steppes, Turgentin. Do get the most fun out of the last thinks they should be read with Shakespeare's King Lear. Each of these works has a great gratitude of daughters, and it is interesting to compare the treatment of the same theme by the greatest of English, French, and Russian writers.
