PORTMANTEAU PLAYERS
As a rest for the mind overtaxed with the humdum of musical comedies, recitals, and operas, the advent of Stuart Walker and his Portmanteau Theater will be welcomed. He brings with him a production of recognized merit, produced by the best craftsmanship, and above all—new. Leading critics have given their approval and the performances Monday should not be overlooked by those persons interested in dramatic art.
MORE LIFE!
Lack of affiliation of class officers with school activities is a big fault of the student system at K. U. Each fall sees a period of about three weeks in which affable office-seekers make their presence known on every occasion and seem interested in every student enterprise on the Hill.
This certainly is not the right attitude for class officials to take. They are chosen as the leaders of the class and should make every effort to further the interest of their class. There are many worthwhile movements on the Hill that any energetic class should be glad to promote. An example of the failure of class organization is the student campaign for the Armenian Relief Fund. The work of solicitation was turned over to the classes and they failed absolutely.
But after election it is different. Apparently the only work connected with being a class officer is that of being elected, and by the end of the first semester not more than half of the students can name the class presidents and not more than one in ten can name all of the officers in the four classes.
The inactivity of class officer seems to be a hopeless case, but occasionally one musters up sufficient optimism to hope that some day class officers will do more than pose for their Jayhawker pictures and stand in the receiving line of their class party
INEXCUSABLE
It is fortunate, out here in Kansas,
that the flower of music grows on a
hardy plant. Otherwise, the blossom
would become pale and faded, and
would die from sheer lack of nourishment.
Crowded into a residential dwelling designed originally to accommodate a family of nine, the School of Fine Arts of the University of Kansas is in a deplorable condition—a condition that is so incongruous, so inappropriate, as to be positively ridiculous. Two grand pianos occupy the kitchen of the house. Two pianos—an upright and a grand—are crowded into each tiny bedroom. Classes of from twelve to twenty students are forced to meet in dens and parloors with scarce room enough for ten peo-
que. And the head of the violin department has his office—his "studio"—in an attic! The thing so nearly approaches the fiction one reads about starving musicians hidden away in a garret that is almost unbelievable.
And while a class in one small room works religiously away on harmony exercises, playing cadences, and modulating from one key to another, violins in another room mourn out plaintively the melodies of Kreisler or Cezar Franc. In the next room—separated only by a thin, easily penetrated wall—pianos bang away at Beethoven, and Mozart, and Bach. And above all rise voices—sopranos, altos, tenors, basses—attacking the glorious notes of Shubert, or of Schumann.
Laughable?
Lamentable! And the more so because a few thousand dollars, donated by a state that is among the richest, could make a wonderful change.
Will the legislature allow this condition to become permanent?
As a measure of "Safety First" in our university, it might be advisable to move one or the other of the English or German departments to the south' end of Fraser. This would leave the chapel, a place of inviolible neutrality, between the two.
Opportunity knocks but once. And it won't batter the door down trying to get in, either.
"Don't stop long enough to say,
'Get thee behind me Satan.' Walk on
and he will soon be behind you."
When a man volunteers to teach a Sunday School class, if he does not cover the lesson in the allotted time, he thinks he is a competent S. S. teacher.
A man is known by his works—that is, how well he can work other people.
A college boardinghouse diplomat, is a student who gets his living free from the landlady for keeping her flock up to size. The most important part of his job is to gain an ascendancy over the herd early in the season, that he may later use it in opposition to the inevitable but inconvenient tendency of the restless young animals to change their feeding place.—The Ladies Home Journal.
SCRIBISH SCRIBBLINGS
Why are the students of K. U. like
rue provebal children? Because
hey like to see what the preacher
ells them not to!
Curiosity once killed a cat. But it hasn't had that effect on the freshman yet.
"The Greeks were the most perfect people."
"is that why they are shining examples today?"
The "Under Cover" ad says that "extreme uncertainty exists throughout the play as to the identity of a certain mysterious stranger." Anateurs are always so clever with the make-up.
"K. U. Will Keep Fossil", says a Kansan headline. Must have raised his salary.
Two sets of books printed in Dutch have been received at Spooner Library. Don't crowd! There's plenty of room.
The question is asked, "Who has become of the old-fashioned girl who was thoroughly satisfied with a diner's worth of candy?" That's easy! She's nice, club dad, club kid, etc. does jazz-time and wears a $15 hat over a two-bit head.
Dr. Gray pleads with us to think.
Have a heart, Doctor. We're just
college students.

Prof.: Do you design to tread the intricate and thorny path of a profession, the straight and narrow way through the fieldways of literature?
And doth the engine wheeze and grunt?
It stops.

POET'S CORNER
O dear, O dear, I feel so queer.
My ears ring so I cannot hear;
But yet I feel all kinds of noise
Which dampens all my earthly joys.
ODE TQ LaGRIPPE
If there be one who does not know
What tis 't to ache and suffer so,
He's missed experience most dear,
And knows not what he well may fear
No one can truly sympathize
Unless he's had it and grown wise;
He cannot coach his friend and
To all his wallings say "Amen."
Who never suffered with la gripe
Will turn his back and curl his lip.
And strut, and pose, and scorn you
And boast, "He never would complain."
But he'll whine like a brindle pup,
And moan and wheeze, "The gig is
With eyes rolled like a dying calf-
And then it is our turn to laugh.
If you would be a worthy friend,
Go get the gripe that you may lend,
to the other people.
And when you've had it good and right
You'll roll your sleeves and even fight The one who dares look with disdain On your good friend racked with the
that gripe brings on from teeth to toes.

RESOLUTIONS
This is the time of good resolutions. Very nearly every college publication has some sort of an editorial on taking a new start or "buckling down to work." It is right that this should be so, for we are all more or less capable of applying ourselves to our studies during the opening semesters.
The poor student has the threatening C's still staring him in the face on his returned blue book, the more efficient scholar is having excited dreams of Phi Beta Kappa, the mediocre student is at once fearing he will not "make good" and hoping he may "make" the key-wearing circle.
However, this is merely a perennial wave of enthusiasm. Every one was just as determined to do better work at the mid-year semester of last year, but they forgot their good resolutions, and the temptations of blossoming out-of-doors coupled with the languor of students in the number of B- students to "flunk out" and the usual number of A students to get B*.
You feel an eagerness to "make good." This is just the usual epidemic of good resolutions. You will have to have more than "feeling," you will have to outgrow it, you will have to plot out your time and systematize your work so that you will have gotten THE HABIT of working efficiently by the time you become the computer is covered to the navy in Spring fever—Knox Student.
