FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1923
To Ruth Hale's query, "How could a poet come out of Kansas?" Life remarks, "How could a poet remain in Kansas?" Did they read Murdock's reply?
YOUR WORD
"A promise made is a debt unpaid," says Service in one of his poems. How many or you regard it as such? How many of you can be relied upon to keep your word after you have given it in good faith? And if you do stick to promises how many of you stick to the little things that you just say you'll do without promising?
There is not a day that passes but that one comes in contact with a person whose reliability he judges. Are you the kind of person who can be relied upon? *
It is the persons who do look after the little things as well as the big things who usually gets on in this world. An employer will certainly not hire an unreliable man for a responsible position.
We often become so self satisfied that we fail to see what is wrong with ourselves. It is well to take an inventory of one's qualities every so often, especially those along this line.
And when you make a promise just remember that you are accumulating bills just as fast as you make them, and that you are failing to meet those bills just as fast as you break them.
Are you always at the place where you said you would be at the appointed hour? Do you keep appointments with yourself? Do you tell things that you are asked not to tell? These are some of the questions one might ask himself?
Seven million bushels of prunes will be consumed in boarding clubs next fall, due to the recent frost.
IT'S THE OLD STORY
Another year has rolled by and the old Alma Mater soon will graduate a large class of young men and women into other fields of work. In fact two weeks from Monday the capped and gowned procession of candidates for the various degrees will form in the roadway between Green hall and Fraser and after suffering heat and discomfort from standing will catch step and slowly wend their formal way to the age old ceremony—Commencement.
An eager visitor onlooker may remark, "And where is the noble faculty?" And he will be answered, "The faculty care not for the pomp, the robes, the inconvenience of significant costume. Have they not done their duty, having trained the students in the class room?"
So it is year after year. The class being graduated wears the conventional cap and gown, while the faculty go to commencement—most of them—and watch the candidates try to glean from the day some memories of significance and beauty.
It is of little consequence to under-
classmen, but to the student who has
worked hard in the University and
earned his degree through four years
of constant labor, it is a different
problem. Commencement is his last
remembrance of college life.

Simultaneous with the hundredth anniversary of the writing of the song, "Home, Sweet Home," comes the announcement that there were 497 divorces in Kansas City last year.
A friend of ours has counted up ninety-three hours "Marathon" credit, by which he means "doing the same thing over and again." Now he's started on in Chemistry, and feels as if he's about to break a record.
LIBRARY BOOKS
The library has issued a call that all books must be in by June 1 so that the stacks may be checked and prepared for the summer session.
If each student will take this personally much effort and time may be saved. Every one should be sure that he is not retaining any of the K, U. books.
R. A. KENT, Director
Nearly every year some books are lost, although any checked out can be traced. Our library belongs to everyone of us and the privileges no greater for one than another.
June 1 means June 1. Take notice and get your books in.
One of the eternal triangles has been broken up in the last few years. We can no longer, lawfully, say, "Eat drink, and be merry."
THE SITUATION AS IT IS
From the discussion stirred up this year concerning the practice of cheating, stealing, and dishonesty of any kind, it would seem that the situation is worse than it has been in former years or that we have just acquired the habit. As a matter of fact, no one can judge to what degree it has ever been practiced or how bad it is this year. There are no statistics with which to make comparisons.
Looking at the matter fairly and squarely, it is really gratifying that this has come up this year. Honor systems have been talked about and have been praised and condensed. Any one knowing the situation at all will see that K. U. is not ready for the honor system now if it ever will be. But this does not mean that the situation cannot and will not change.
The recent discussion shows that there is a growing sentiment to the situation. This is the most encouraging factor that has appeared for some time.
What we want at K. U., then, is a feeling rather than a system. It is here now in a rather dormant state but we are becoming more sensitive to it. If we harbor it and spread it fearlessly, that is, not be afraid to stand up for what is right, we will soon have the tradition at K. U. that we are absolutely against all forms of dishonesty and that it just isn't being done that way.
The ideal way of remedying such a thing is to create a feeling against it. Reform should come from the inside rather than from the outside. If it comes from the inside it is by volition, but an outside factor would involve force.
THE LITTLE THINGS
He was cramming for a final examination and knew he had a big task ahead.
A friend from across the hall burst into his room. He often came in to talk over the happenings of the day. He saw the man bending over his work, concentrating to the nth degree.
"Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry I interrupted," said the man from across the hall.
It's the little things that count.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A certain professor on the Hill is known for the poerness of his hand-writing. Recently he was called out to town for a day or two, and just before leaving he hastily scribbled a note and left it for his wife, who was not at home when he left. She could not read what he had written, so she went to one of his associates, who was not able to decipher the note that she took it to a well-known druggist noted for his ability to read any handwriting. He looked at it awhile, asked to be excused, and came back from the prescription room with a pint of pure white liquid.
ing: "Golly, now I'm going to get a rest. After school is out, all I am going to do for a month is sleep and have "dates." I will be able to get a date with any of the girls and can have a different day every night. what will probably happen will be a compromise between father and son.
As the first of June draw near, Father is saying to himself and the neighbors: "That boy Jim will soon be home from K. U. I'll sure put him into the collar immediately and get the backpack and and get the pasture fence up." But Jim, who is to return home, is thinking differently. He is say-

One professor testified in court that he would not be able to identify intoxicating liquor by the taste, but would only know it by an analysis of the contents. Then a professor read a book and asked a student at the University there were fifteen open saloons on Massachusetts street—but then it may be
