WELCOME LITTLE STUDENTS
"The time has come," the Walrus said, or is that the way that thing goes? Anyway all you happy men and women of the New Deal and the New Year are now being officially welcomed back to your studies. Perhaps we should say "Go back, go back, the bridge is out," for after all you know there are left only some four more weeks of school for the semester's work to be done in, but we will take it for granted that you studied during vacation and everything will be smooth sailing from now on
Each year we all look forward with great anticipation to the vacations which will enable us to be at home away from our class worries for a short while. We find it hard to wait for the Christmas spent with our parents, the round of parties waiting for us, and the meetings once more with friends whom we have not seen for several months. Now these vacation pleasanties are over for a while and we are back at our books once more. Thank Heaven, for now we
SENIORITIS
It is a real disease, this senioritis. We can remember 'way back in our high school days when we had it. The victim is exposed about the middle of the fall semester of his senior year, and the incubation period lasts until Christmas vacation, when it presents its first symptoms.
The symptoms are usually clearly recognizable to people other than the victim, although they may not know exactly the cause. The victim becomes restless. He refuses to study seriously, throwing his books aside with a sigh after short periods of perusal. He becomes unable to concentrate; subjects seem dry and trivial.
After Christmas he becomes more restless, and sometimes he is grouchy. At any rate, he adopts a fine cynicism for everything that he has to study and come in contact with at college. With the warm spring weather he begins to cut classes to parade the campus with fellow sufferers. He laughs at studious juniors and condescends to interested sophomores. He ignores the freshmen.
The only cure for senioritis is a good graduation followed by a severe dose of job-hunting. In more severe cases it is well to let the patient sit around home, unable to find work in his chosen profession. This treatment is guaranteed to bring the most stubborn case back to normality.
WHY THE BAND PLAYED
They struck up the band in Mosbach, Germany, recently. In fact, they struck up three of them, and the whole town turned out to help christen the twenty-fifth child of Herr and Frau Adam Schmaetz. They called out the fire department, too, so that the youngest
citizen might have his just share of godfathers.
It was a gala day for Mosbach and for the Schmaetz family, and all twenty-seven members of the latter were, no doubt, up bright and early that morning. The little "guest of honor" had probably kept father and mother up most of the night, anyway, and its brothers and sisters surely must have been glad to get up and stretch their cramped bodies. We should think so, at least, if they all slept in two beds—and that is all the beds Her Schmaetz has been able to provide for his little brood.
Something leads us to believe that there wasn't a great deal of tarrying over breakfast, either. But that would not matter so much, since the excitement over the anticipated ceremony would tend to make them forget that there really was very little breakfast over which to tarry.
Nor did the Schmaetzt girls have any trouble deciding which dresses to wear. They probably had them all on. But who would worry about clothing, when little brother, or sister perhaps, was about to play the leading role in the most famous event in the history of the village?
Then, when the christening ceremony was over, we wonder if the citizens of Mosbach, who are contributing to the support of the Schmmetz family, wished them many happy returns of the day?

Editor Daily Kansan:
If matters go on as at present, you can any way at KU. "dead as a pigeon" instead of "dead as a dodo." The anti-pigeon campaign is reaching serious proportions. In fact, Mr. Harris has issued warnings of disposing all our pigeons.
I say "our pigeons," for I feel that the birds belong to each student as much as to Mr. Harris. And this stu-

don't disapprove of the extermination project. The pigeons have been and are (what are left of them) one of the most attractive features of the campus. They are a very pleasing touch of life; they are positively beautiful. The many of us who view them in this light should not permit them to be destroyed without a protest. Surely the pigeons have many friends. Let's not just growl, let's kick! Perhaps something can be done about it yet.

Boys and Young Ladies of 50 Years Ago
The boys who had charge of the affairs at the building celebrated Christmas with seven gallons of cider. All would have been well if some base miscreant hadn't spiked it. The awful results would have been worse if some
lawrence cats look out! The medicine will soon be here.

The Soph's letter to his last year's
eirl:
Do you recall that night in May, Union the Kansas river?
We thought wed surely blow away,
And that made my bones shiver.
I don't know why that driver can
Upon the Kansas river:
We thought we'd surely blow away
And that made my bonet ahiver.
Through all my bones but never, never
Will get over that scare that night
Upon the Kansas river.
I don't know why that shiver ran
You know we closely hugged—the shore Upon the Kansas river.
And thou shudst thine I forgave the sea.
And that made your bones thier.
And when at last we reached the shore,
and in Beaubliet did hikers bishop.
and when at last we reached the shore,
And to Pershall the did hither, hither,
My pocketbook did shiver.
The Freshmen will occupy the chapel rostrum next week.

A number of new books have been received during vacation for the library, mostly for the Greek department.
A certain Soph sent his girl a toilet set for Christmas. He didn't know
whether to get mad or not when she sent him a cake of soap.
A mist is as good as a mile
A kiss is as good as a smile
But an age and four kings
Are the beautiful things Which will do up the other man's pile.

Ralph: I hear your mother-in-law is dying by inches.
It was the multiped worm who wailed as she sang: "No, No, A Thousand Times, No, I'd Rather Die Than Say Yes-s-s."
Sam: Yes, and it's a pity that she's so tall.

Just a revival of that old questions which comes first the fowl or the foul?
