There is a strong opposition to the installation of the honor system until after the examinations for the first term. We understand this to mean that the students are not opposed to the system itself, but that after working under the old system all year, they wish to reap the benefits it brings at examination time. Some are also probably not at all prepared for an early exercise of the honor system. Everyone can get a fair start next term and prepare for the new order.
Arthur Brisbane's statement that yellow journalism is the journalism of public opinion and responsibility met with the hearty approval of the local branch. They feel that they are vindicated at last, and they will in the future continue their work with serener countenances and clearer consciences.

To Editor of Kansan:—
KICK COLUMN.
The rapid approach of quiz week suggests the following query: Would it not be advantageous to both student and professor, if, instead of crowding all the quizes into one week, they be distributed over two?
If this plan should be adopted it would do away with the frantic cramming in the last week which results in all subjects being shaken together like letters in a box. A more thorough review would go far toward forming a lasting impression upon the mind of the student as well as securing for him a bettergrade. The professor, too, would no doubt find it more convenient to do a given amount of grading in two weeks instead of one. Don't you think so?
Overworked.
these Pictures Were Real.
Stanley Hoisington, a junior Law, has a brother attending the West Point Military Academy. During the Christmas holidays, while in Topeka, he chanced to attend one of the moving picture shows which was then featuring the Hudson-Fulton parade which had been held in New York some time before. The West Point cadets were in the line of march and as the color bearer for them approached Mr. Hoisington was surprised as well as greatly pleased to recognize his brother as the cadet who bore the flag. Nearer and nearer he approached and as his march led him directly in front and almost facing the camera taking the picture, the brother in Kansas saw almost a life like image of his soldier brother.
The little room in the basement of Fraser Hall immediately south of the "Kansan" of fice is being fitted up by Mr. Ralph Spotts and the carpenters for an annual room. Mr. Spotts, when interviewed by a Kansan reporter today, said. "We intend to have a big tabl in there so that the editor and assistants can convene there to discuss matters of importance to the annual. We'll have a typewriter and other things so that it will be a goodplace to work."
Sam Roberts and Ben Prather junior Medics in the school at Rosedale, visited University friends for a few days this week.

Strange Examination Questions
From New St. Louis
School.
Methuselah, the wandering Jew and Balsamo were ephemeral creatures and John D. Rockefeller is an impurecious person compared with what Prof. M. F. Knox, Ph. D., LL. D., of St. Louis can be if he wants to, through his discovery of mental science.
He delivered four free lectures in St. Louis recently, and will attempt to establish a college of new thought in that city, students in which, after a two months' course, will be in possession of those bagatelle secrets, the elixir of life and the philosopher's stone, or their equivalents.
Prof. Knox thinks at present he will exist about 10,000 years, but if he has not become tired of living at the end of that period, he will not depart this life even then.
"By concentrating his mind on longevity," says the professor, anyone can live endlessly. Deatl is unnecessary and the result of ignorance. Rockefeller, with his crude, untrained mind fixed his thought upon millions and got them. My graduates or I, with the same concentration, should succeed even better, because of our special education in mental science."
The professor is a venderable person, 56 years of age, with luxuriant, patriarchal whiskers. Because he does not condescend to focus his faculties on millions, as he teaches his studens, he sometimes passes the plate at his lectures for contributions to his college, Bryn Mawr, at Seattle, Wash.
"What about my white hair and beard?" continued Prof. Knox.
"They turned white years ago before I mastered the mystery of immortality.
"Mental science is not a religion and is not confounded with Christian Science. I discovered Mental Science and my college has been established 15 years. I have branch colleges in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Winnipeg, Bloomington, Ill., Denver, Butte, Spokane, Salt Lake City, New Orleans, Fort Worth, El Paso and Los Angeles."
When asked where he obtained the degrees which are affixed to his name, he professor replied proudly:
"I conferred them on myself by virtue of my presidency of my college.
A class of 57 was graduated last spring from the college, and all of them, according to the professor, can live forever and achieve the wealth of Solomon. "If they observe the rules I have laid down for immortality and riches."
Some of the posers put to the graduates to ascertain their degree of mastery of the new philosophy, were:
"Is a rock alive? Explain its growth."
"What is a woman?"
"What is a woman?" "Were you ever born?"
"Are there two ends to one stick?"
"King Cole" Once More.
"King" Cole received the unanimous vote of the Nebraska Athletic Board, in their selection of the football coach for 1910, and he will train the Cornhuskers at the same salary he received last year.
