Phones, K. U. 25 and 46
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the students' written objections; to be client; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to the students; to be the best of its ability, the students of the University.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1922
There has been some discussion as to which was here first, the University or the town of Lawrence. The conclusion was reached at a recent confab that the town was first established and that the merchants of the town saw the students coming.
LOSSES FROM THE SIDELINES
Here's another editorial on that old subject, good sportsmanship. But it is not just a space filler. It's a real message for K. U.
The basketball season is on and K. U. has a team that shows tendencies toward championship contention. It's a fine, hard fighting bunch of men on the team. And it's a clean, wise man who's coaching them. But ob, the crowd, the bunch of rooters! Such a booing, hooting, razzing bunch has seldom before encircled a college basket ball court.
Already acts of the spectators (the home crowd) have donated one point to the opponents. It was in an uncomfortable close contest too. Wouldn't it be a shame to see a hard fighting five like the 1922 Jayhawkers go down to defeat as a result of points given to the opposing team through disrespect on the part of the poor sports in the stands?
The visiting team may be rough, and the referee may seem blind. But we all know that "just as the best driver is found in the back seat, and the one who best knows how to raise the child is the spinster, so also, the best coaches and officials are found in the stands."
There are always ring leaders—chief hooters—at basket ball games. A group of real backers of K. U. could do the University a service by organizing themselves in to a body-perhaps the already formed "K" club could do it—and then proceeding to spot and throw out of the building such misguided persons.
Let's be, as the Englishman would say, a little more "jolly!"
"Well," said an optimistic student, "there's one good thing about the location of the new library. When they get it over there so close to the heating plant, it won't have to close down during the vacations for lack of heat."
THEORIES ARE ALL RIGHT BUT
A student doing some research work a few days ago went down to the Lawrence Telephone Company's office to interview a "telephone girl" or a manager of "telephone girls." He came back up the Hill impressed with the thought that telephone operators have to have a lot of good sense to hold their jobs. He was surprised to have found that not just anyone can do that work. In speaking of the experience to some friends, one of them replied that he had found out that almost any one of these so called "common jobs" require exercise of good judgment, and withal, more intellect than is generally supposed. He got his ideas while working at the stadium last summer. He told about seeing several college men down there working as day laborers and he said that many of them were not able to carry out the orders of the foreman as sensibly as some of the less educated workmen.
All this coupled with the fact that big concerns everwhere are cutting down their working forces and all the while expecting more of the employees that are retained, has a meaning for college men and women. It is still more significant when one considers the thought brought out in a newspaper story from New York recently to the effect that college trained persons are actually having hard times finding jobs—jobs not positions—but just plain jobs. Women with A. B. degrees there are trying for places as counter clerks and are refused employment, the department
store managers prefering to hire girls with experience, regardless of the education. The fact that college degrees are becoming so common now-a-days, coupled with the fact that business is cramping itself rather than expanding, puts a discount on the college education, commercially speaking, in comparison with the grim old implementation of the bread winner, experience.
All this is no argument against the college education. It merely points to the fact that the college man should be looking out for his future welfare as he goes along. During the summers, during the school year as much as possible, all the time, he should be getting practical work in the line which he intends to follow. Such a policy will make him able to go to his future employer and say, "Yes sir, I know how it's done. I've had experience along that line."
Student Opinion
In this column last night appeared an article censoring the Women's Student Government Association because it did not suspend the date rule for the American Legion dance, Wednesday night. The writer seemed to feel that the American Legion had been particularly discriminated against in this matter. Had he known the facts in the case he would not have taken the attitude that he did.
To begin with, Article II, section 2 of the rules governing student organizations and dances passed by the University Senate reads, "During a regular session of the University no student or group of students may give or attend a dancing party in Laval. The students will be open to the public indiscriminately at a fixed price."
Section III reads, in part. "Dancing parties may be given only on Friday and Saturday nights and nights immediately preceding a school holiday."
Since a Senate rule existed against a party held in the middle of the week the chairman of the Committee on Student Affairs was unable to authorize the party. Since no University woman is permitted to attend an unauthorized dance at the Women's Studiotalk if it had been desirable to do so.
Fraternity women were further governed by a penhellenic rule which reads that no fraternity women shall go to a party given by a person or persons conditioned by the rules of night's except holidays, and nights, preceding holidays.
Both the Student Government rules and the Pandhellenic rules were passed by the majority of women of the two respective organizations.
When the representatives of the American Legion asked for authorization of their parties they were informed of the rules governing a dance given at such a time and so really have no justified room for com-
In view of these facts, does it look as though the American Legion had been especially discriminated against by rules that were passed for the most part before the Legion was organized?

Plain Tales from the Hill
THE NOTBOOK BLUES
I am blue, yes, notwell blue,
(Wish "twas done and I was through)
Got a HILLA notebook due.
Overdue.
I can't eat, nor go to sleep,
Till it's finished up for keeps.
How I wall in anguish deep!
How I weep.
I resolve, I have before,
That I'll not neglect it more.
Won't neglect it as of yore.
Anymore.
Yes I'm blue, and so are you,
If you've got a notebook too,
And the blamed old thing is due,
Over due.
During a recitation of one of the classes in Green Hall, a Senior Law admired the silk shirt of the Middle
L. J. C.
"Show me the fifteen."
"Fifteen dollars," was the answer.
The senior took out his check book, wrote a check for fifteen dollars and threw it down on the chair. The secretary
so was sitting next to him. "How much for the shirt?" he
"How much for the shirt?" he asked.
The man in the seat in front of him felt suddenly cold. He left the room and returned at once with his overcoat, which he draped over the back of his chair. The man was bent down toward the floor of the man behind him from the front of the room.
The Middle Law's coat came off; his vest followed it; and next came the shirt bargained for, which he handed to the Senior as he picked up the check. Then he reached for his coat and vest but they had been lost in the room. He entered the room, while all the men in the back of the room, with interested grills on their faces awaited developments.
Being in somewhat decollete attire, the Middle Law hesitated to cross the room after them so he remained in his seat clothed scantily as he was until the end of the period when he managed to borrow the overcoat of the man ahead of him until such a time as he could recover his lost wear apparel.
In one of the History classes a man went to sleep. The instructor called on him to recite. The sleeper's neighbor nudged him. "What'sush matter?" he yawned. The professor's question was repeated. "Oh fine!" he answered without opening his eyes. Then his head fell down. He clenched his jaw and rupted. His reply was evidently considered "incompetent, irrellevant and immaterial" for the man was speedily dismissed from class.
The professor dismissed the class all unconscious of the business transaction which had transpired before
Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey will visit the University on the Friday after the Democratic state banquet which will be held at Topkea on Thursday, February 21. He will address the students in Robinson Cymnusium probably on Friday morg. ing, February 23.
Ten Years Ago Today
The enforced vacation that came with the cold weather is affording students ample opportunity for coating. Many of the student board materials protect them over "shells" and all of them are kept busy in the evenings.
The college basketball team won the opening game of the 1912 season played yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymaismium. The final whistle found the score 32 to 30 with Washburn on the short end of the score.

Contemporary Comment
DRAB WORK?
University of Washington Daily
Listen! If you don't like your work better than any other activity on the campus you don't belong here. Your work is the fundamental reason for your coming here, and if it is not the first thing in your heart's desire you are out of place in this or any other university.
If you are a journalist and you would rather go to a show than write a story you shouldn't waste any more time here. If you are a chemist and do not take real pleasure in the pursuit of an illiquid unknown, you should get on with tomorrow. No matter what you are doing, you should like it or leave it.
The university is no place for unwilling work. Just consider the ordinary hand laborer, the unwillingness with which he picks up unproudful things, and the toll that just what you avoid by coming to the University. Here you have the opportunity to choose the kind of work you wish to do, the kind you are most adapted to. Do your work cheerfully, glad of the opportunity, in doing your chosen field or go home and give another person a chance.

Procrastinium is described as the universal collegiate ailment. The disease is fully as bad as the name sounds. It needs very little foothold before it claims a victim, it is very contagious and spreads rapidly. It is difficult to control, but enough at the time, that the after effects are even worse.

PROCRASTINITUS From The Pennaylvanian
More delinquencies proceed from procrastination than from any other source. The habit of putting work off from day to day is very dangerous, because it has a tendency to result in continued negligence. Duties must remain consistent and not when it suits the inclination. Too many people defer action from one day to another thinking that they will be more in the mood later, but the mood never comes and the tank remains undone. Such habits are symptoms of procrastinitus. He who prefers the theaters or who listens to programs for entertainment is delinquent courting the worst form of the disease.
One newspaper, writing on the subject of procrastinium, declares that there is only one cure and that rests with the patient. The prescription reads: Mix ambition and determination with good intentions and apply conscientiously to each duty as it arises. - Clipped
