"LONG LIVE THE TIGER"
Noah's ark is believed to have been a pyramid. No doubt the high points were designed to allow the giraffes uncramped quarters.
Ex-president Georges Clemenceau of France is now a visitor to the United States, and the press of the nation is eagerly acclaiming the virtues, idiosyncrasies and altogether lovable qualities of the "grand old man" from the land of the lily.
For Clemencera has long been prominent in political affairs—both French and international. He has weathered the ship of state over many a story sea, to use a tale expression; and his ability as a navigator in these waters, while applauded by many, has been condemned by some. Which is perfectly natural, for no man who never had enemies or opposition ever accomplished anything really worth while.
The "Tiger," as he is commonly known, is a student of human nature, a graduate student in knowledge of the affairs of the world. It was this insight, coupled with energy and horse sense, which made him one of the foremost political figures of this century. Notwithstanding the fact that he taught French in an eastern American college for girls, where he married an American girl, there is not, nor has there been, any indication of the school master in Clemenceau's management of the affairs of a great and powerful nation. Like Lloyd George, he might be considered a "born politician," it is said.
And though Clementine is old—he is 87 now—he has no desire to prolong life by un-natural means. He scuffed at theories expounded as productive of longevity by Dr. Frances Lecourc upon his arrival to these shores, press dispaites said, and urged the doctor to leave human beings alone and "let them die happy." He realizes that nature provides for human beings being taken from this world at the proper time, and sees no reason to attempt to restrain her by monkey glands and the like.
More power to the "Tiger"!
An American ornithologist has found some odd birds in Mexico. But why go so far away to find them?
COAT HANGERS AT THE COMMONS
The University Commons is putting out pretty good "grub." It is palatable for the average student on the Hill, at least, and the patronizers, to all appearances, are paying their bills at the cashier's desk with a smile. That is indicative of satisfaction.
But there's something lacking, and that something is the lowly coattanger-hook. if you will—upon which the student can hang his coat and hat while he gets on the outside of a square meal at the festive board.
Hark back to the time of King
Arthur and his alleged "round table." Now Arthur was a generous duck and, although no mention is made of the humble coat-hanger in the current story, it's a ten-to-one bet that he had some fair damnels at his elbow to take the superfluous garments of his guests, while they imbibed of his good wine and merciless chatter, and hang them up. The point remains, anyway, that the usual wardrobe, inclusive of the Beltichium steel and the sword which "brake" on every encounter with the enemy, was disposed of, hung up.
K. U, students have discarded the battle-ship armor plate; they usually say it with boxing gloves. But nevertheless, they are not unlike the chivalrous knights of cogs gone by when it comes to sitting down to a square meal. They are in the habit of shifting the weight of their headwear and also fashionable and foolish clothing to a nearby hook.
So far the student is indebted to the Commons management for a good, clean floor on which to fling his garments. Either that, or a hot radiator which scorches his new wall-a-flight-and save-ten-dollar topcoat. And he is thankful.
Yes, there are books strong prominently about the Commons; about a half-dozen, to be exact. And when one crowds a whole gang of ravenous persons into an eating establishment, a half-dozen books do not go very far. Said ravenous persons are obliged to resort to the floor and such-like to deposit their duds.
The Commons needs some more hangers. Let it have some!
COMMUNITY SINGING AND LINDSBORG
One of the laws to do in the press-bar convention prohibits the captain of a steamboat from interfering with the landing of a ferry boat on Saxon streams. Imagine traffic rules for steamboats on the Kaw!
Lindsborg has demonstrated what community singing can do for a little inland town. During the forty years that the music lovers of Lindsburg have given the "Messiah," other small Kanaas towns have been becoming the monotony of their "Main Street" and have done nothing to mitigate the deadfulness of their existence.
The *Mussiah at Lindenburg* has become a household word among all lovers of music the world over. It has made it possible to bring to a town of two thousand, such artists as Nordica, Schumann-Heinck, Galli-Curli, Sembriac, Hempel, Fremstad, Gadki, Casali, Elman, Yasay, and many others, who declared that they found inspiration in singing with a chorus of six hundred trained voices.
What Lindborg has done, other small towns can do, on a smaller scale perhaps, but its achievement points the way toward a possible solution to the problem of lifting American's thousands of "Main Streets" above the deal level of the commonplace and of developing an aesthetic interest that will dispel the dullness of their everyday existence.
When you sit down to spend an hour with a trashy novel or magazine, do you ever think that there is something better—something which might add to your sum-total of knowledge? When after dinner you lunch near the photograph or piano listening to jazz, do you realize that you are so smothering a intent appreciation of the fine and the beautiful in music? Surely you know that your time is limited to the span of a man's life, and is a thing to be treasured. Amusements tawdry and pear are a waste of that which is most precious—your time. They are as a powerful narracole to your potential love of something better.
Bulgaria fixes the guilt of their part in the World War on twenty-two ex-ministers. Well, at least that's twenty-two less who can claim to have finished it.
SOMETHING BETTER
Reports from the 'University of Missouri state that a tradition has been broken. Since a "Y" and turn table is being constructed on the Centralia branch trains will not have to back in or out of Columbia, something that's been under consideration that Kansas has never crawled and doesn't intend to this year either.
CHANCELLOR'S CABINET:
Official Daily University Bulletin
Copy received by Florence E. Bliss, Editor, Cancellor's Office
Vol. II.
Nov. 22. 1922.
A meeting of the Chancellor's cabinet is hereby called for 4:30 Friday afternoon in the Chancellor's Office.
Applications should be made at once for the Women's Student Government Association Scholarships, four loans of fifty dollars each to women members of the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. Miss Galileo will in her office, Room 304 Fraser Hall, from 11:30 to 12 o'clock Tuesday nights.
Marie Wells, playing the title role of Sonin, the merry wow, presented well the couchery of the field "young lady with millions." Her voice was pleasant and her costumes and dangere were charming. James Liddy, presenting the character of Prince Danilo of Marsovin, was without doubt the best actor in the cast. The audience was pleased to find that he handled equally well the laugable act in which he appealed to be just a "great guy" and the latter acts in which he played a more serious part His voice and that of Warren Proctor, who represented Camille de Jollden, were better than those which customarily take the leads in light opera.
Among the songs, "In Marsovia" and "Maxim's" were easily the favorites of the evening. The g-gund opera orchestra under the direction of Louis Kroll added not a little to the attractionness of the production.

FOUR LOAN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN NOW OPEN;
A musical comedy somewhat lacking in plot, but brilliantly staged and carrying with it an excellent male chorus and at least one master comedian—those are some of the things that characterized the presentation of the play by the Henry W. Savage Company at the Bowesrover Theater last night.
Jefferson DeAngeli, in the role of Nish, the messenger of the embassy, showed that he is a comedian of ability. Whenever he appeared on the stage he gripped the attention of the audience; his outlandish costumes and his manners of servility and unapproachable "density" furnished a ridiculous background for his clever lines.
The scenes center about the Paris embassy of a mythical country, Marsovia. The theater-goer gets glimpses of the night life of the French capital and of the gay affairs at the court of the Marsovian ambassador. What plot there is—and the thread of it is light even for operetta—resists itself about the Marsovian mansion, "it allows to accrue a domestic match-maker" when he tries to have the Marsovian princess marry a young widow of fabulous wealth, thereby saving Marsovia from bankruptcy.
The White Peacock
Although the stare at the Bowercook is a bit smil for the presentation of a production with such a large east and invincible so many dancing feet, the feets did much toward making the execution pleasing one. After the last not the curtain roused on the scene at daybreak in Maxim's place, the

a paris cafe. This brief score was by far the俯姿 of the operetta; the pantomime of the dancers and the sub-tenor lighting were more than effective.
On the whole, "The Merry Widow" was the rather good production of its kind, but how much better it would be if there had been a little more thoroughly worked out.
