FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1917 EFFECT OF DISLOYALTY Pretait que yu bodies a living teacoli your reasonable service. New Teesta- your reasonable service. New Teesta- In a state the richest per capita in the United States; which boasts of being out of debt; which claims more automobiles, proportionate to the population, than any other state; in such a state, the higher educational institutions are handicapped by lack of sufficient maintenance funds; and the excuse for the condition—a desire on the part of the legislators to keep down taxes. Chancellor Strong, however, did not cite the excuse this morning in chapel, he told of the real reason—disloyalty on the part of the University of Kansas alumni. It is bad enough to know the legislature in the richest state in the Union even offers an excuse for inadequate funds but it is pathetic when K. U. graduates lead the fight against their Alma Mater's welfare. The pages of Kansas history show few such men. It is unfortunate they should spring into prominence now. LET'S HAVE 'EM OFTEN Free "pop" concerts, like that furnished Wednesday night by the band, should be given often. The crowd that attended gives proof there is need for such entertainments at the University. And the members of the band derive some benefit from these performances. COURTESY You wouldn't deliberately turn your back on a fellow creature and walk away in the middle of a conversation even if you were bored to death. Of course not! You are at least courteous and stick it out to the bitter end. And you wouldn't put on your hat and coat in the middle of a party and sit nervously on the edge of your chair waiting for a chance to escape, even if you weren't having a particularly good time. Are we always courteous? And yet students leave Fraser chapel in the middle of a lecture without a thought of the affect on the lecturer or the annoyance caused others in the audience. Some professors draw less attention than they do salaries. WHY STUDENTS SWEAR It is a popular thing in these days for reformers to uphold the student. He is accused of indulging in, and adhering to, about all of the bad habits ever invented by man in his leisure moments. Almost every student has some bad habit; few have them all; and still fewer have many of the worst type. Perhaps the most universal one is swearing. It still takes a good man to forego the pleasure of expressing himself bethertingly when the occasion arises. Nor can over-hasty exposition be abolished or condemned. Who feels gratitude toward a professor who invariably keeps his classes till 12:30? Who loves to spent his whole time listening to the inane superfluities of the house fool? Who dots on listening to harangues by stewards, collectors, ticket-sellers, advisers, and petty politicians? Who smiles and enjoys eating soup when that check doesn't come? Who likes to shine shoes for the whole house or wash all of the windows within an hour? Who enjoys being forced into courses he doesn't want, simply because some professor insists. The life of a student is just one occasion after another and it is small wonder that he frequently throws decorum to the four winds and expresses himself as feels best. Cussing is one habit that can be remedied by removing the causes of irritation and would-be reformers among the faculty and outside could help a good cause along by being a little reasonable with the demands they make upon the temper of the student. THE CRABBY CRAB—A FABLE There was once a menagerie in which everything was happy except one little crab that lived under a clod down on the edge of the pond. Everything got on his nerves. He thought that he could endure his surroundings no longer. Finally in, desperation he went to Dr. Pokeyospine, for advice. "I if live here a day longer," he said "I shall go insane. I can't endure that white rabbit with her blinky staring pink eyes. And when that sneaky fox comes near me I think I must burrow so deep in the mud that I can never crawl out. That old big clumy bear with his grinny face and shambling gate, why he's a disgrace to the place. If I were bigger I would like to fasten my pinchers in the noses of those sleepy deer that stand about in the corners all day and chew their cubs. The lazy things; why don't they go swimming every day like I do and get a little exercise. Doctor—please say I must go—my nerves are too delicate to endure these abominable creatures!" "You are in a dreadful state," said Dr. Pekoyepine with a bristle, "But all you need is to pay less attention to the faults of others." If war should be declared Kansas would develop into a most popular visiting place for the Easterners. A musical organization that possesses as much talent and ability as the K. U. Band should not hide its light by giving only two concerts a year. HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY These untutored folk who sniff at the co-eeds wearing their new spring hats in mid-winter should know that some people are more likely to live when it isn't time for a new hat. No doubt each of the warring powers wants peace, but it wants too big a one. Before they're married, a man always leans on his sweetheart's arm, as they go down the street. After they're married, she leans on his. Professors who do all of the talking, working under the impression that students should be seen and not heard, should not be surprised at the number of students who fall asleep during their lectures. Cutting across the campus in order to save time is like turning your watch back for the same purpose. Now that the bone dry law has passed, what will become of the old saying that "It's enough to drive a man to drink." The most important part of some statement is the "stew", and of others the "dent". The freshman who is the loudest in boasting that he will not wear his little cap this spring will be the first one to do it. Some student pay more attention in selecting their neckties than they do in selecting their courses. Students are like automobiles. The one that has the least power often makes the most noise, and the ones that have the most speed often have the least control. POET'S CORNER like the kind of a school you like, you needn't slip your clothes in a grip and start on a long, long hike. for you'll only find what you left be- "I IT HEN? YOUR SCHOOL, 'IT'S YOU" "f you want to live in the kind of a For there's nothing that's really new; It's a knock at yourself when you watch it. For it isn't your school—it's you. For you'll only find what you left behind Real schools are not made by men that are afraid When everyone works and nobody You can raise a school from the dead And if you make you a personal employee Your neighbor can make one, too. Your school will be what you want to It isn't your school—it's YOU. LEVITY WITH THE GRIND —The Merchandiser Professor (to student who handed in some one else's notes): "You're an abominable, contemptible, ignominious cheat!" Student: "Oh no, professor; nothing like that. I'm only a plagiarist." He (wearily)—"The intermissions," -Froth. She (after the dance)—“What did you expect to see the dance?” "Are you the assistant in this course?" Which is More Than Some Can Do Dick—Think I'll use this old piano for kindling wood. "Naw. I've just had typhoid; that' my look I this way," Lampoon. An Apology Due Freshman—Some of the meat please.-Pelican. Boarding Dog Mistress — What part of the chicken do you wish? "Art wins the heart," a maiden cried. And then, with some constraint, She rather artfully applied— Another coat of paint. Widow And So is the Onion The onion differs from the peach; Few people of the onion screech But fortune always makes amends. And those who are the onion's friends. SELF-RELIANCE Emerson tells us that self-reliance is the aversion of society. And yet he says, "whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist." The purpose of a university is to so train and develop the mind of the young man that he may take his place in society—a citizen capable of thinking and acting independently of learned subjects, experienced men who in their respective spheres of knowledge are masters. To the discourses delivered by these men the student is privileged to listen and to absorb, in a degree proportionate to his capability, the learning and understanding of each respective professors. Such at least constitutes one important process involved in the university training. And yet of what material benefit are the brief hourly associations of the class room? Truly they are of most appreciable value as a component part of the system of education, but in themselves of what avail are they? But lectures are by no means depended upon to fulfill the purpose of the university. The need for a supplemental training results in the production of great books. With books to supplement the seed sown in the lecture room, the student flourishes, progressing in knowledge and finally graduates—a scholar. But is this all? Has the purpose of a college education been accomplished attempting to point out the aim of a university, we did not attribute to it the mere production of a scholar, but rather of a citizen capable of independent thinking, and possessed of initiative. After all, of what real interest does a citizen learn assuming it is permeated and dominated by a self-reliant mind. Lack of self-reliance is too often the wet wetland upon a career which with it might have excelled in brilliance. This want of independence and initiative unfolded as well as inflicted college men, as in cases where individuals content themselves with allowing others to solve college difficulties, and are merely "driven cattle." The time eventually comes when the individual must stand against their own power, difficulties by his own power. How will you stand the test when your turn comes. The answer to this question depends entirely upon the scope which your self-reliance is now allowed, for the present; or whether the future, "insist on yourself; new imitate." — McGill Daily.
