THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1922
"I am taking a course in English Usage," explained the college girl who was home on vacation, "but I'm not learning much."
TOO MUCH CHRISTMAS VACATION
A the manufacturer may succeed Postmaster General Hayes in office. The present incumbent is considering quitting his chair in the President's cabinet for a job in the movies. As the old poem goes, "Life's a funny proposition, after all."
Everybody on the Hill has been talking about his Christmas vacation for the past few days and perhaps many others will talk about their vacation when they find time to return to school. Everybody seems to have completely forgotten school work during the two weeks in which we have been recuperating from the first twelve weeks of the school year's study, in which period we had a few days off for rest.
One students seems to have voiced a rather widespread opinion when he said, "I would just as soon transfer this long Christmas vacation either to the period between semesters, when I feel that I really need a vacation, or else do away with this waste of time during the school year so that I might get out of school a year earlier next June."
Perhaps this students is right. We all know that although we take our books home with us at the start of vacation, most of us never look inside them. Two weeks are so long that many of us get accustomed to home life again and get started back on our old habits. Then we find that for two or three days after vacation we are foggy concerning everything that pertains to class work.
The student mentioned above had this suggestion to make, "Why not give us, say, four days, or two days, before Christmas and two after. These four days are sufficient time for everybody to go and come from his home, and this would give him Christmas Day at home. I know that a long vacation is appreciated by most of us, yet I am sure that those two we do spent, usually in indifference, are not the best thing for the University."
Some playful correspondent sent a news story out of Topicka recently that state oil inspector Hugu Duff intends to institute a "free air" inspection department. The idea was suggested by state printer Bert Walker. If taxpayers over the state are the same sentiment that was expressed at a meeting of Douglas County residents Monday, this little joke may not even get a smile.
DUDLEY BUCK'S SORE THROAT
When Dudley Buck suddenly packed his traveling bag last summer and started back East, no small amount of adverse comment was forthcoming from disgruntled singers of the mid West who had gathered on Mt. Oread for training in the great artist's master school. People had come from eleven different states. The sudden conclusion of the master school seemed a great blow to the University, for the enterprise had been so widely advertised as being connected with the K. U. School of Fine Arts.
Somehow the impression got scattered that Dudley Buck was not badly afflicted, and that he could have stayed had he been willing to display any degree of stamina. It was said that the artist just had a sore throat and a dislike for Kansas. Those who were closely connected with the master school knew better than that. They knew that Dudley Buck was in a serious condition.
Now, the great artist writes that he is willing to
come back and try it again. Such a promise is indeed a fortunate thing for both Kansas and Dudley Buck himself. If he cares much for his reputation in this part of the country he will return here and conduct his master school, thus giving Kansas the distinction of his services. If K. U. cares much for her reputation she will get behind the master school proposition and push it. The artist has a chance to clear himself of all accusations of being a quitter. K. U. has a chance to clear herself of all charges of be a grower.
AN OPTIMISTS OPTIMISM
We had just arrived at what might be termed a peaceful state of mind, and had settled back in our leisurely way to enjoy a few leagues of calm sailing, when along came the announcement from the women, "We're going to wear bloomers." This is once when that time worn saying about a change being appreciated even if it is for the worse seems to be poor philosophy.
Just as we had become accustomed to short skirts and had even agreed with all the arguments set forth in their favor, whether we believed in them or not, blasting headlines tell us, and photograure sections in Sunday editions prove to us, that it is true. Yes, it is true.
The time is not far hence when the whole family will go en masse to the tailor shop or to the "hand me down shop" and order their tweeds, their serges, or what not, in hopes that they will be given a reduction for the order lot.
duction for the other order.
Hereafter the politician will have to look well before he offers the proverbial cigar or slaps his comrade heartily on the back. For who can tell—the weaver of those mammish tweeds might be distinctly feminine!
But after the men have aged with surprises from having soprano voices emit unexpectedly from masculine apparel, and after they have again arrived at a peaceful mind, they can still hope that the women's styles will change, as the wind does, every day.
Plain Tales from the Hill
HOW DID "IKE" KNOW?
In a paper read in the Feature Writing class mention ones made of the seventh command. Wilson Riley was troubled and finally protested "But I don't understand the significance of that reference to the seventh command." Ice Massy "piped up!" "Of course not, nobody does, that's found in the Bible."
Prof. A.J. Boynton "sounding off" after it has been reported to him that someone had taken a reference book from the library: "Any on who will take a book that ninety-five other people want to use is a human hog! With apologies to the hog."
In the first recitation following the vacation a K. U. instructor called for the papers she had assigned. The class in unison, informed her that she had said no written assignment would be required of them the first day. Surprised, she finally conceded that she might have been so lenient, but attributed it to an overnight or a momentary fit of weakness.
After the last revocation of the holidays a rhetoric instructor said to his class: "I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope that you will all come back with more brains than you have showed so far this semester." The class answered in union, "The same to you."

On Other Hills
The University of Arizona held its first annual Horse Show, this fall, under the supervision of the Military Department, and the Women's Athletic Association. The events included class riding, ladies' saddl e horses, and jumping.
Editorially it is a timeworm subject—it is one of reminding the instructors that when the bell rings, time is up and that it is the end of the period. It may seem an academic topic, but it is one of importance to every student. Many instructors and professors have been guilty of keeping their students overtime. This offense is not a single occurrence, but is rapidly becoming a habit.
An open court, composed of justices elected from the law school, will try all violators of campus rules and traditions at the University of Utah in the future, according to a recent decision made there. The court will be open to the public.
WHEN THAT BELL RINGS in the Minnesota Daily
The instructors themselves are the ones who insist upon students being to class on time and yet they are the very ones who talk and talk after the bell has rung. They become very angry if the students get restless after the bell has rung and are harsh in their criticism of the more courageous ones who try to leave. In these cases in practice is not frequent, but with many instructors it is as much an offense against the University rules as cutting classes is considered wrong for students.
We ask more consideration by the professors and their lesser lights on behalf of the students and we can assure them that the same consideration will be shown the teachers in return.
SHOULD THE PLUNKER PAY
THE MOST?
Should a wealthy student pay more for his education than a poor student in a question receiving consideration by some of the universities. The Daily Princetonian, under graduate newspaper of Princeton has suggested that the wealthy students pay more for their education than the poorer ones, in an effort to cut down the deficit of $200,000 obtained by the university every year. Northwestern University invites a defiant double that of the charges levied by the university in educating the students enrolled.
"If some possible method could be devised whereby the financial standing of every student could be made known, it would be very fair to charge the wealthy students more than the poor ones," said Dean Rory Flickinger. Dean Flickinger also suggested a humorous method to check this defect incurred. All A students pay $100, all B students pay $200, all C students pay $500 and D students and all lower pay $1,000.

The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year; the steps we heard on cinder paths no more nagain we'll hear, trim anilies be no more, wools will be no more, wool now is all the rags and hucklebs are the show. As comes the cold, so she furs, and coeds all dress light. To match old Nature's robe of snow, they ought their white. But go it, and have your white. And what you will; for though we laugh the way you dress, we idolize you still.
