FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1923
William Allen White thinks that there is too much "pile-passing" in the country. Evidently he has never lived at a boarding-club.
THAT'S "DULCY"
She is a character drawn straight from life.
She nobly tries to take everything into her own hands.
She ruins her husband's business unwittingly.
She tries to dominate her younger brother.
But "Dulcy" is above all, a "dumbbell" in the W. Y. C. A. comedy which is to be presented Monday evening at the Bowersock theater.
She, like many others in the world, always succeeds in doing exactly the wrong thing at precisely the right time. This fatalistic tendency continually leads to highly ludicrous situations, accentuated by the behavior of her young r brother, who simply has no faculty of appreciation in regard to "Dulcy."
That's "Dulcy."
And "Dulcy" constitutes a good share of the reasons why you should see the play.
Pinceton Doves a Texas Hat (headline)—Does he think that style of headgear will create more excitement when he throws it into the ring?
WE PASS BY
The first of a series of art exhibits is now on display in the Administration building.
Every winter the department on fine arts brings many such exhibits here for the University to enjoy. Persons from far away, visitors on the campus, hearing of the exhibit, would not dream of leaving the campus without seeing it.
Yet, students pass the building every day but how many take time to visit the collection?
Before finishing up the Stadium why not build an extension to the "bleachers" in front of Green hall?
RED SOCKS WITH WHITE DUCKS
Some persons enjoy being rabbidly pessimistic. They take their gloomy outlook on life to heart and glory in their own contention that the world is going to the bad.
Others do not enjoy pessimism. They assume it as a pose. And, as pessimists, they think themselves "different" from their fellows; they give vent to their "individualistic" tendencies by doing the unconventional.
Psychologists aver that the effort toward being different from the group is the erection of a "defense mechanism" against social oblivion. In other words, attempting to commit suicide is comparable to wearing red socks with white ducks.
Or to be radially pessimistic.
Pessimism profits nothing. And a pose of it profits less.
Why is it that at nearly every dangerous curve in a road an undertaker's advertisement looms up?
NOT GOING TO THEM Time is money.
Particularly is this true of the time the student spends in the classroom. Every uncalled for "out" which he is, is cash out of his own pocket.
At first glance it would seem that the individual student is the only one who suffers when he "cuts." It is he who loses the benefit of the lecture or the lab hour. It is he who has to make up the "missed" quiz. And it is he who has to pay for the hour in lowered morale as well as in lowered grades.
But that isn't all. He puts an extra burden on the instructor by requiring the latter to go through the usual procedure for classroom absentees and to make out extra quiz questions. The knowledge that students have missed lectures or lab hours often tends to disorganize the instructor's plans for the semester's study. He feels poignantly his duty to the Hill scholars.
And that leads to the third point: the absentee's unfairness to his classmates. Disrupting an instructor's study schedule is doing a grave injustice to the class as a whole. Develop the habit of "going to them." Don't "cut."
The Japanese earthquake seems to have brought about amiable relations with America when diplomats failed to do so. Come now, let's have a nice little quake over on the German-French border.
THE COST OF FAME
A story of heroism comes from England in the death of Bonar Law. Even though he knew that the acceptance of the premiership would hasten his death many years, he would not turn it down. The premiership did as it was predicted; it killed him. His case is a strange parallel to that of Ex-President Harding.
It is a mighty price that the modern nations ask of their great men. To be chief of a nation is to be placed in a position of extreme jeopardy. For a mental strain often—far too often—is too much for the man who has the worries of a nation upon his hands. Bonar Law went into the premiership with a weakened body and against his physician's advice. It has proved costly to England.
The immense amount of work upon the President's desk is increasing every day. The nation asks its chief executive to become a more clerk in many matters. If some plan is not worked out for the relief of the President from these trivial *duties*, we may expect few of our chief executives to last two terms in perfect health. Only an iron man could survive the ordeal.
England has lost Bonar Law from the pressure of many duties. President Wilson is a physical wreck from the result of the strain and worry of the presidency. There is no doubt that the presidency hastened Mr. Harding to an untimely end. It is up to the people of the nation to bring forth some plan to reduce the pressure of the business daily overwhelming their executives.

Alipio Casilan, President
The optimist does not mind being referred to as a pessimist occasionally, but how the cynic hates to be accused of being cheerful!
Plain Tales From The Hill
A down-town dry-goods store is on the route of one of the Kansan carriers. As a rule he steps into the store and hands the paper to the first clerk he sees. Last night, according to his little brother, who has "peached" on him, he thrust the paper into the hands of a clerk standing near the door. She made no move to take it—in fact she made me sit down. He tried to force it into her hands but still she made no move. "Say," he began indignantly as he looked up into her face—but he got no further. The wax model made no reply but still stood there motionless.
The fance of one of the girls on the Hill came to see her last week after an absence of a year. His time was very limited and he had only one evening to spend with her. By way of entertainment for that evening the girl invited over another couple to dance and play bridge.
"One would think that sorority houses were members of a Woman's Traveling Salesman organization," said an outson, "because they have such a tendency to sing during their meals."
It's not unusual for a student to be diplomatically asked to change his major from one department to another—but would you believe it? We know of has been asked by the mayor in the appointments to major in their subject.
One of the first-year Lawts thought that "haecas corpus" was when they bring in the corpse in a murder trial.

E. H. Lindley, President
One man in the University claims that he isn't really lazy and enjoys working if he has the kind of a Job he likes. A position that would suit him, would be that if calling on the stations on an **A-antic steamer**.
With Gotham Invisibles no Colds when Wool Hose is replaced by Silk. For wear under Chiffon Silk Hosiery, they are invaluable.
None of the dormitory girls are allowed to be called from the table during a meal. The other day two young men, dressed in hiking tops, asked during lunch for their dates at the Information desk. The word "winter" was used when young ladies were asked. Arising, the told the callers upstairs and what girls had asked for. "Are you going hiking?" she asked the girls who were mentioned. The dining room assumed a deathlike stillness. All eyes were turned on the freshmen. "Why, Mrs. Freer," one of them stammered, "we don't know yet."

Just as radio instantaneously brings the sound of the human voice for many miles so the Grid Graph sets forth every play in the game within a few seconds after it occurs.
Even the cheering will be supplied under the leadership of one of the assistant cheerleaders. Best of all, you can bring a date. It's a bargain at two bits.
