LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Ma. ob 2, 1907
Base ball weather is near at hand. The occasional summer day causes the baseball man to think of the full grand stand, the prolonged applause, the hot linens, the flies and other things that make up the sport. Every day the prospect is growing brighter, more men are reporting, there is better and fuller practice, and the promised schedule is near completion. The schedule for the big trip is the best that Kansas has ever had, the trip itself is worth any man's trying for the team. This is the year when Kansas must make her record with the bigger schools; she should have done so last year but ran up against a circumstance. If Kansas could have defeated the University of Chicago last year her record would have been made. Once the game was won but was again lost so easily. There is no reason why Kansas cannot play base ball with the better known colleges. It will be much easier to win recognition in base ball than in foot ball, from the fact that it costs less to maintain the base ball. Equipment is less, there is no coach, no training table and the cost of transportation is less. If the team does not pay expenses on its trips, the home games will pay out and even up matters. If Kansas does win a warm place in the hearts of the bigger schools, and if the team takes long trips and brings home trophies, it means that every man on the hill, who can play fast enough to sweat, should show himself. Don't lay around and wait to be coaxed.
When one of the pretty Pi Plais steps up and asks you to buy five copies of the Pi Phi edition of the WEEKLY, do not blush, or hang your head, or ram your straw-colored hands into your empty pockets, or try to change the subject of conversation to the weather, but say in your happiest tone of voice, "certainly." The Pi Plais are not working their heads dizzy for fun or for the litte's honor connected with a special edition; they are trying to make a few hundred dollars for their scholarship. Any scholarship is a good thing, and one maintained in the University of Kansas is of especial interest to every student and professor on the hill. The Pi Plais belong to the pneumaticized set in the University and they are showing that they are not puffed up or stuck up by working like slaves on their edition. They are showing pluck and backbone. Their paper will be the bandsomest thing that ever appeared in Lawrence. Show your royal blood by buying a half dozen copies.
The Freshman class is the class on the hill. The Freshmen can have anything they want around the Weekly shop from now on. They have more snap than all the combined forces in the University. They were startled themselves by the manner in which they out-did all conors at the mass-meeting. Of course a Freshman is a funny being during the first part of the year, but he learns and learns rapidly. Do not turn up your nose at the Freshman any more. They are all right.
Mr. S. T. Saton, the esteemed editor of the Olathe Register, does not like the English in the editorial columns of the WEEKLY. Of course things have changed slightly since Mr. Saton's time and it may be that he has not kept in touch with every-day University English. Perhaps it will allay the editor's gushes of horror when the WEEKLY informs him that it has not been criticised by the department of English for its misuse of the language. There are many college expressions that may pain the sensitive ear of a cultured English student, such as our friend is, but to the college student they are full of meaning and do not grate on his cultivated ear. Of course advertisements in small rural weeklies are of little value and the WEEKLY does not feel like remitting for the Register's artful sketch, but it will say that it was nice of the Register to give the Johnson county farmers those rare bits of classical college composition gleaned from the leading paper of the best university in the middle west.
MR. TELLMAN'S SUCCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA, as an employee of the English government, is only another proof of the excellent training given to students in Kansas University. This case is only one of many which have come to notice, which attest the kind of men graduated. Nothing can speak better for an institution than having her graduates offered good situations and filling positions of trust at home and abroad. It makes us especially glad when, as in this case, we hear of another country recognizing our men as equal and even superior to their own in ability and practical knowledge.
And now the Ottawa Campus turns its little gun on the WEEKLY. The Campus is debating whether the WEEKLY man is a "master genius or whether he is not." It is all up to the Campus to decide. Of course the editor of the WEEKLY, as well as the whole University, is in breathless suspense awaiting the edict of this sage Baptist, this prophet, this moulder of Baptist minds, this embryonic minister and journalist, this champion of "almanac" weeklies.
The special number of the Baker Orange, containing the orations of all the speakers in the inter-collegiate contest, came in Wednesday. It is a neat magazine. The publishers are so proud of their work that they print their faces in the back of the book among the advertisements. They are handsome boys, it is too bad that they cannot issue a good paper every week.
Lost week Mrs. Nation sent the University girls four hundred buttons bearing the inscription "A Home Defender." They were all eagerly gobbled up and for souvenirs. If the well-meaning old lady could see the T. N. E's and Elks wearing her buttons on their many breasts she would certainly give off a prolonged, vociferous chuckle of triumph.
The editor of the Baker Orange still thinks the Christian Associations should dabble in politics, even after having read the Weekly's editorial on the Y. M. and the Y. W. in Politics in the University of Kansas. Metindists are awful fighters and yet they are a devout, pious set.
In another column appears an anonymous jingle entitled "Paradise Lost." It contains nothing personal and the Weekly prints it without comment.
If you have not had your picture taken do so at once. The present half-rates for Seniors are good only for another week. Then when you get your photo hand it to the manager of the Annual without waiting to be looked up individually and asked for it. The photos must be in immediately for the work will soon be in the hands of the engraver. BLAINE F. MOORE, Manager.
Seniors.
PARADISE LOST
With astute manner and forethought
A great and mighty change was wrought
You see the passe coded distraught;
You see the blase senior gaze
With porch language and amaze
Towards the priceless and valueless craze.
Now we would trace from a sublime source
This might cause of dark remorse;
This potent, polignant nautil force.
It has been famous all around
For its tasteful and sound—
But has it fallen to the ground?
Sure is the boast of every jay,
He is a ___ ___;
Menial to a professor's say.
Indeed, well is the saying rife:
"Philosophy is the guide of life—"
Vain, empty honor in the strife,
'Tis not the real true man of brain,
'Tis he afraid his soul to claim—
Some yokel born the soul to drain.
Toadyish chimers of the Oread
Who think only of their grade
And the honor that way made,
Is it knowledge —or a token
Of the etiquette that is broken
When the mouth stands wide open?
Some wise young school, may be,
By truckling to the fraternity,
Just gain a "tutorshipery"
We raise our teachers here, we do,
And still we know a thing or two—
Strange—yet the tutors env you.
Of course, exceptions to this rule,
May often come and stay at school;
Else would we always bepraise the fool.
It is little right now to me;
Better pie, bacon and coffee—
Which most of us would like it to be.
Will never celluloid collar betray,
The man of boorish parts and way
And leave him to obscurity?
It is no tale of woe we tell;
'Tis our conscience to rebel—
The society is going to--Sheol.
Let it be an honor to be sought;
Not a vain gewgaw to be bought—
Let it be this or—or naught.
Alas! Can we see no time set
When this is but an idle threat?

Miss May Lohr entertained very charmingly Friday evening with a progressive crokinole party. The first prize, a beautiful bunch of carnations was won by Mr. Faust, the booby prize a little batchet, by Burris. Those present: Misses Barth, Wilson, Connelly, Jessie Connelly, Wolf, Messrs. Burris, Faust, Bloom, Schalb, Robins and Manning.
Phi Beta Kappa held its annual initiation banquet on February 22 in Library Hall. The initiates were received by members of the faculty and post graduate Phi Beta Kappas and most delightfully entertained. The tables
were in T shape and decorated with numerous candles with pink and blue shades and with large bunches of pink and blue carnations. Pink and blue satin streamers were brought from the three ends of the T and fixed up in a large knot at the ceiling above the centre of the table. The colors were carried out also in the different courses. Covers were laid for a large number—about forty of the older members being in attendance, among whom were Dr.D. E. Esterly of Topeka. Prof. Carruth as toastmaster called upon the initiates for toasts on subjects of general interest to a college and made the affair more enjoyable by his own entertaining remarks.
CHAPEL
The attendance this week has been phenomenal; each day a regular Friday crowd has been on hand.
Monday morning Mrs. Cora McCullom Smith was the leader, while the remaining days the services has been in the hands of the Y.M.C.A. Mr. Withington spoke Tuesday in regard to "Spiritual Awakenings" in general, and of the present special development of religious life here at the University. He emphasized the importance of this movement, this spiritual revival, which is perhaps more marked and extensive than any it the previous history of the institution.
Wednesday Mr. Hauson spoke of "Jesus as a Friend." He defined a true friend, emphasized the value of perfect friendships, and held up the character of Jesus as fulfilling the requirements of an ideal friend. He made reference also to the special interest in religious things in the University at this particular time.
Thursday the Jayhawkers quartet had charge of the service; each one took one part. Mr. Smith making the address, and they sang in closing "Ashamed of Jesus."
Friday morning Mr. Tangentman spoke of "Jesus or a Master," emphasizing the authority which Jesus possesses, and also enumerating His special characteristic which He manifests as a Master. During the whole week there has been manifested a large amount of serious thought among the students, and the spirituality of the University has been elevated several degrees.
GRADUATE CLUB
The Graduate club will meet in the Physics Building on Friday evening, March 9. Prof Franklin will speak on "Original Work in Chemistry." Some interesting experiments will be shown. All graduate students and graduate faculty are invited.
