Now that Spain is about to discard the barbary practice of bull-fighting, let us sincerely hope that for their national pastime the Spaniards will adopt some gentle sport—such as speedy-racing.
TIME-WASTING PROFESSORS
A great deal is said about the various ways in which students waste their time, about how they neglect their assignments, about how they fail to get maximum value out of a course. And the criticism is deserved; some students do fritter away many hours each week. But consider for a moment, if you please, the time-wasting faculty member—the professor who daily expends a goodly portion of the class period in trivial and purposeless discussion.
A few years ago, one of the departments of language here was unfortunate enough to have a typical time wasting faculty member on its instructional force. Almost daily he divided to some one of his classes lengthy chapters of his ancestral history; he seemed to be possessed of the notion that what his grandparents did was of the utmost importance to his language classes. Other days his text—if we may call it such—seemed to be taken from the well known volume on "How to Act on All Occasions"; he lectured profoundly on etiquette. Strange as it may seem, however, he never, on examination day, asked the least thing about etiquette or the doings of his ancestors. Ah, no, the students then were supposed to be soundly versed in grammar, syntax, and vocabulary. He recklessly expended his own time and that of his classes. He is with us no more.
But, sad as it may seem, he was not the only time-wasting professor at the University of Kansas. Others are still with us. And, what is more, some of the advanced courses, in which only earnest students are enrolled, are taught by just such faculty members. From day to day, the students in these classes hear lengthy talks on how the dobar bird got its name or how pie may be cut into even pieces; and from day to day, these students, who are paying hard-earned cash that they may fit themselves for positions in the world, leave the class rooms disgusted.
Please do not miss the point of this brief discussion of the time-waster. This column wishes to place no stigma on the professor who brightens a sound lecture with an occasional joke or the one who tells a story to illustrate his point. But for the faculty member who thoughtlessly—at least, it is to be hope that it is not intentional—wastes the time of his classes there should be nothing but a sentiment of condemnation.
It is believed that the advent of the longer skirt will work at least one bit of good; the long-suffering public will doubtless be given a rest from the worn-out jokes and puns about the short skirt.
NOT THE ORIGINALS
An independent, impetuous, and original attitude of mind has often been ascribed to the American collegiate class, and such has stood as a true description of the university spirit for several anomalies of college semesters. But now a new quality has entered into the college make-up. The American public has granted a lot to the college youth and the college youth has taken a lot for granted.
The press hailed the flapper as a dormitory product, while she walked under their very roses on a crowded business street. Universities were blamed for the "cake eaton" and "tea bound"; goil; when in fact they first appeared on walk-a-fly advertisements and were planned months before in a city sweat shop. And then some one, whom only she herself knows, started wearing unbuttoned goshes, with the result that we found them parked in down-town and college entry halls.
But the American public has granted too much to the college youth, and the college youth has taken too much for granted. We are making the mistake of believing we are the original negatives, when in reality we are only the reprints. Come out of the dark room!
The Kansas City Star extends its sympathy to K. U. fraternity pledges, because, due to a pan-hellenic ruling, they are no longer initiated until the second semester, and thus have no fraternity pins to present to their lady friends before that time. Tut, tut, the Star's condolence is wasted; we have heard of freshmen who parked their pledge buttons.
"Marrriage is a state, not a contract," expanded one of the instructors in Business Law.
PLAIN TALES
"Yeh! State of Despondent, grunted one of the cynical fellows.
A fresh at one of the boarding clubs had been evading the "meat hounds" on the grounds that he was a sophomore. The other evening he was referred to the "86" as "jam" and the slip coat him his pound of flesh.
There is one professor on the Hill who is very brusque in questioning prospective *majors* in his department. His favorite question is:
"Do you think you have enough brainns to educate?"
One young man looked his questioner in the eye and came back with this question:

How Old Are You?
I will be twenty next Tuesday, Oct. 3. To help me celebrate my birthday Mario Chamlee, one of the world's greatest tenors, is coming all the way from New York City. Of course he will sing for me. All of my friends will be there to hear him. In fact I'm so democratic I'm inviting all who love good singing to come—Tuesday evening, Oct. 3, in Robinson Gym—You are hereby invited. Write my manager, H. L. Butler, for a reserved seat—or, if you prefer, go to the Business Office in Fraser Hall or to the Round Corner Drug Store on Wednesday, Sept. 27 and choose your own. Hoping to see you at the Chamlee Concert, I am, Yours sincerely,
The University Concert Course
Published in the interest of Electrical Development by an Institution that will be helped by whatever helps the Industry.
P. S. I forgot to say that later on Frieda Hempel, Guy Maier, Arthur Middleton, The Little Symphony, Lee Pattison, Albert Spalding, Anna Roselle and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra are coming to continue the celebration of my birthday. You are invited to meet all of these people.
R. S.V.P.
It will pay you to listen to this music
Be on your toes when the whistle blows. A good start will carry you well on toward your goal.
Let the football candidate start by working away till his muscles ache from bucking the line,
ALL over the country the whistle is blowing for the kick-off, the start of that great game another college year.
Let the aspirant for manager put in careful study of his team's needs, always eager to help arranging a trip or carrying a pail of water.
Let the publications man be alert for news and tireless in learning the details of editorial work.
And if a good start helps win campus honors, it helps win class room honors, too. The sure way to be up in your work is to aim now for regularity at lectures, up-to-date note-books and particular attention to the early chapters of text-books, thus getting a grip on the basics.
Whatever activity you come out for, crowd a lot of energy into these early Fall days.
This is best in the long run, and—selfishly—it is easiest in the long run. That is, if life after college is made easier by the things a bigger income can buy.
