MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1923
Anyway, there's one good thing we can say about election day. Girls speak to us that day who have never spoken to us before—or since.
WILL FRANCE BE FAIR?
In consideration of the nature of the problem facing the German government, it seems probable that Chancellor Streismann's action Saturday afternoon in pushing a vote, giving him dictatorial powers, through the Reichstag, may be productive of good.
The problem resolves itself into three parts: the internal political; the internal economic; and the external, or international with France.
Separatist movements, encouraged to a great degree by France, have gained momentum on the west bank of the Rhine, and in Bavarin, where the movement has taken on a monarchist aspect. A dictatorship, Stresman evidently realizes, remains as the only hope for healing the German body politic.
The German chancellor's action was prompted, too, by his realization that to put his country on a gold basis, in the face of capitalistic opposition, and thus to save it from economic ruin—and probable political disintegration—he must have his hands free. Partisan quibbling has thus far borne no fruit.
Stressman virtually said to France, in insisting upon a governmental dictatorship: "I am now able to treat with you. I represent the nation and the state. Will you co-operate in the settlement of our international difficulties?"
Will France be fair?
How thoughtless of the government to change the color of the postage stamps just after we had laid in a supply of pink stationery to match.
THE EVENING MALE
For nearly two hours every evening, the library is filled to capacity; it's fact, it is sometimes difficult for a late-comer to find a vacant chair. On the other hand, there are a number of students there who spend only a small part of the evening in actual study, the rest of the time being devoted to looking around, scanning the cartoons in the newspapers, and watching the clock for the time when the faithful escorts are to arrive on the scene. Women are reported to be the chief offenders in this respect because, it is said, comparatively few men go to the library except in cases of absolute necessity.
Many have been the puns about the appropriateness of the name, "Spooner Library," but the situation causes to be funny when it becomes too much of a reality. The library should be a place for serious study and not a trying place for lovers who cannot exist in solitude and loneliness from Sunday until Friday.
Most people agree that a certain amount of social life is a fine thing in its place, but its place is not in the library of the University. The student who goes there merely to pass the evening or to make a mid-week date not only wastes much of his
time, but he also interferes with those who wish to study.
The library is an educational center, not a social one. It is the duty of every student to respect the rights of those who desire to use it profitably.
"I usually get to my classes sooner or later—mostly later," remarked a freshman. And it might be added he will get his degree sooner or later.
THE NIGHT SCHOOL
Night schools, available to wage earners, both American and alien, have been growing up in the past few years, noticeably in the Atlantic coast cities.
Students pursuing advanced studies are able to take work in certain colleges and universities which maintain the evening service for those who are employed during the day.
Two distinct results are being felt in the East, according to educational authorities. One is the drop in the illiteracy percentage; and the other is felt more than it is seen—that of Americanization.
It is consistent with American democratic ideals that such a system of schools should find root and thrive. And it is thoroughly in accord with the American spirit of sacrifice that inadequately paid instructors should contribute their time and energy to the establishment of a better citizenship.
"It rains and the wind is never weary." The wind may never be but the students certainly are.
GARGOYLES
Life must be interesting to garagles; at least, the various expressions with which they watch the mortals would indicate that it is.
Stone images on Dyche museum, great numbers of them, no two alike; they peer out from behind weird carvings, glare defiantly from obscure niches, or stare wondering from lofty places of security. Some of them seem highly interested in man's doings; others apparently ignore his existence.
Many and strange things come to pass below them; youth and maturity each obtensibly is seeking knowledge, each a Gahadh in search of the Holy Grail of truth. Yet each hides in his heart his individual buildings, builds his own castles, and lives his inward life apart from his fellows.
The gargoyles see it all, and understand, but all our questioning and wondering is to no avail, for they are adamant. The only hints of what they think of us, the only signs of their age-old wisdom are the expressions on their faces. And they all interpret differently: One of them chuckles continuously; to him it's all a faire, a comedy of fools; another says, "It's nothing to me," and throws his nose higher every day. A third smiles sorely and condescensingly down, giving sham for sham; his neighbor gazes wistfully down the valley of the Kaw, or ponders over the bloody Wakaraua. Another frowns, as though life, to him, were fought with injustice and hardship, and yet another turns his head imploringly to the empty unanswering sky.
And so they sit upon their judgment seats, and the current of humanity surges below them as they ponder.
Many notorious scandals occur because of a strong will but a weak won't.

THE SAFETY VALVE
To the Editor:
A soft purry little kitten, on its nocturnal wanderings, found it necessary to cross a crowded sidewalk. Before being behind inside a nearby lamp post for many minutes, eyes wide with fear, whiskers stiff and tail erect in a mighty bluff of feline fierceness. Finally, calling on all the moral workers in the creators, he darted forth from his safety zone, out into the hurrying
traffic. A few of the pedestrian smiled as they saw the little furry ball scuttling their path, but he did not even notice him. He had almost reached the opposite side and safety when he dug in front of two young men and unfortunately attracted the notice of one. This young man reached quickly down, grabbed the frightened little animal, put him high in air and carried him yowning and clawing down the street.
This trumphant progress continued for nearly a block to the apparent delight of many who passed. At the end of the block the young man whirled the cat around and tossed it into a nearby yard. The dog, happy and reliable, the bundle of quivering, sensitive nerves and aching bruises.
And the young man who did this thing was a college student, a person having the advantage of all the things he has grown up in age. And yet he finds his amusement in torturing a cat like a naughty little boy. In truth it would seem as if education had no more importance than people who water on the proverbial duck's hack.
They say that by scientific test tobacco smoke is not injurious to frogs—but who wants to be a frog?
Plain Tales From The Hill
A certain well-beloved professor said, in discussing what it is that men talk about, that often "perfectly situating" them as the topic of conversation.
When a freshin was subjected to the mental task of scrubbing the Law steps the other day, he was heard to say this is American demurray"
Plain Tales
That is a fine way to refer to the women !
Daniel in the Bion's den had nothing on Prof. Braden, who entertained nine of the visiting sociologists the other night.
By a Rhadamanthi-an:
"The autumn leaves are falling fast.
They're falling everywhere,
in the atmosphere
and likewise in the air."

Intelligence is the ability to see the meaning of experience.
Dr. Mahin: "I'd just as soon *you* boys apply in "Stay Fast", or whatever it is you put on your hair, you can put on a shirt that make their facial toilet in public."
The latest bunco game: An upper-classman trying to sell political tags to unsuspecting freshmen.
Something new in bluffing: The girl who came to class with you to make up on the day after she had been ill, the professor would think she had been ill.
He heard at one of the frit houses:
"It's getting kindly chilly now. I'll have to order an overcourt out on approval for over the week-end."
A rooster's prayer:
God bless Pa.
God bless Ma.
God bless us,

Rahh! Rahh!

The young man sitting coily with his lady under the shadow of the "Pioneer," must have been inspired by the man of the iron viabag also who likewien had heeded "to him," Go west, young man, or weest!"
Prof. John A. Dent told of his trip exploring some of the rivers of the country, at a recent meeting of Sigma Tau. He mentioned various mouths and passes of the Mississippi river, one of which was used ex-situ. The other. The plovers went up this channel quite a distance, he said.
Famous College Pros
Botany Prof._"It takes sunlight and water to make sugar, and generally a little moonlight."
Mr. Timid writes to the Kansan
o inquire whether it is customary
for a man to "sequeze her together
when a girl "bursts" into tears.
Poor Student (pointing to a broken test tube) "Through the hole in the bottom, sir."
Chem. Prof. "How did your experiment come out?"
One of the senior Medics says that the reason he's going to be a doctor is so that he can bury his failures.
In eating an apple which would you rather see—a worm or half a worm?
Have you heard about the sorority girl who recently became engaged when asked her fiancee's name and received his first one at I should worry!!
Professor Dumlap of the English department recommends a course in "baffling," as a remedy for half-filled classrooms. At any rate the professor's course would never be worried with "cats" during "lab" hours.
"The they shall not pass" (headline in the Kansas sport section). Nothing startling new in this, our professors know. "We are as far back as we can remember."
Professor in a California college advises young men, in days to come, never to marry under a salary if they are not qualified. For the "K. U. Dames" of the future.
It comes to our notice that an old K. U. girl has married an army aviator, through a paragraph in the book, that all rights they should still be flying.

And Oh, 'tis sad to tell,
Mixed glycerine with NO2
And it blew the J 2 L.
Good jokes are mighty few,
So don't get sore if the poke's on you.
