TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1917. Let brotherly love continue—Hebrews. ART EXHIBIT It all began when someone with a real love for art made arrangements for an annual exhibition of the works of American artists in the Administration Building. There, each year, were assembled the most representative pictures that were being done in America. Of course the thing grew in more immediately; and the annual exhibits became exceedingly popular. Townspeople, for instance, gladly climbed the Hill and paid an admission of twenty-five cents to see the exhibition. The students, being on the "inside," were given free tickets at the registrar's office. And each year the record for attendance was raised higher and higher. This year—right now—the annual exhibition is being held on the top floor of Administration. There are assembled there a considerable number of pictures which critics say are the best ever shown at Kansas. Now, the way to learn to like good pictures—if you don't already—is to see them. The way to see them is to apply for a ticket at the registrar's office, and then wander over to the Ad. Once there, it's safe guessing that you'll hate to leave. Perhaps you don't believe this T'ry it and see! EXPERIENCES Only too often we shirk experiences if we imagine they will be hard or unpleasant. Yet no life is full and rich and really worth while without unpleasant or hard experiences. If one has never had temptation himself, he will have very little tolerance for the failings of others; if he has never been wounded or hurt he will never understand the hurts that rankle with others. We must not allow our experiences to make us hard hearted or materialistic, but rather more gentle, tolerant and helpful to others. Human nature. Stude who pulls a "I" says, "Anyone with a little stuff can get by in that course." Same stude when he flunks, "It's not a question of knowledge; it depends on whether the prof slept well the night before he graded your quiz paper." Fischer's shoes are good shoes___ How many students sleep with their windows open at night? It is appalling to note how many persons who should know the value of fresh air, sleep with tightly closed windows, breathing and re-breathing the same air they breathed while studying. FRESH AIR It is true that we are becoming more enlightened every day as to the value of fresh air, and with this enlightement come the modern sleeping porch, ventilating systems and fresh air cures. Yet, many supposedly educated students still cling to the old idea that all cold air should be carefully excluded, and they try to keep healthy by the use of pills and patent medicines. Some class rooms are crowded and ill-ventilated, and the library is often close, but this is the more reason why the student should have fresh air at night to refresh his system and strengthen his resisting powers. Night should be the time for rest and recuperation, and pure, fresh air is as necessary to breath, as pure, unpulsed water to drink. "But," the student says, "our room is always so cold, if we can never get it warm again." The ordinary room cools off at night anyway, with the heat turned off six or seven hours, and it takes no longer to warm fresh air than to warm stale air. Do you study late at night in a close, stuffy room, and then retire in the same room with every window down, depending on the cracks to furnish you oxygen? And do you wonder why you are so sensitive to cold, and catch cold so easily, and why you never feel well? And then do you write to the home folks, and tell them that you think you are overworking? Maybe the ground hog crawled back in his hole but the ground dog is still with us. Ask any Greek whose frat is building a house? Open up the windows at night. Fresh air costs nothing, and is often a life saver. And furthermore, it is one of the few things, the supply of which, is not affected by the war. It is told that a local girl found a diamond ring inside her breakfast egg. If it is a genuine diamond it may yield a slight profit on the purchase of the egg—but only a slight one. And what has become of the old fashioned girl who was thoroughly satisfied with a dime's worth of candy? Now comes the natural history enthusiast who announces a woodpecker's idea of Heaven is a job in a Swiss cheese factory. And then he chirps in with the unusual statement that the mule has a kick like a mule. Remarkable. A headline tells us a woman was pronounced insane because she hung hams on doorknobs. Many a steward would be glad to place a whole house full of doorknobs at the lady's disposal. Other sensations may come and go but the water bill comes promptly on the first of each month. SECOND-HAND THOUGHTS He is the man who has positive opinions and information on many matters-opinions and information which, when you trace them out, you find always to be based on what somebody else has said. He is the kind of man who is given to dogmatic assertions on any and all subjects of discusssion, and whose opinions are fully outlined in a recent magazine. The "echo" is an interesting type of personality. Devoid of originality, recording and later reproducing the thoughts of others, the "echo" never seems to be a real thing — even now it's the most forceful in an conversation. Because he does lack originality, he never can see any flaw in anything he says. The person who does not agree with him in every detail is entirely wrong. He alone is the man who knows what he's doing because the first man he heard express any views whatever on the subject in question agreed with him. Even though he may make grievous and ludicrous errors at times, certainly the man who thinks his own thoughts is more endurable than he plays the role of a phonograph record.—Ohio Lantern. "The Mississippiian" has been conducting a ballot to determine the opinion of the students as to the most qualified ones for various honors. Among the celebrities to be chosen are Mr. Jordan, the Mendosa man, and best student; but others are not so commonplace. Among the latter are biggest liar, biggest ladies' man, biggest grafter, greenest freshman, and "freshest" freshman. In the vote as to what kind of grief the students participate in the majority. Other answers to this were fat, skinny, strong, and white—Daily Texan. Mississippi Popularity Ballot POET'S CORNER We are blind to a snowy morning, With its myriad sparkling gems; The things of the earth We've just the same beauty around us, if only our souls weren't blind; But the artist who painted the picture Or the poet who wrote an ode, or a song.

Some people take college as a first resort, some as a last resort, and others as a hybrid. `erhaps we did desecr from monkeys I ain't savin' the theory's bad.

Why, O why, should the Star leave the throbbing metropolis of Kansas City when looking for street cars to ridicule? Anyway, it's a mean trick to steal the thunder of our local humorists. Grey is a beautiful color. Indiana University has come out strongly against "fussing."

Shivering along the tempered steel And the sombre grey of a num Kneeling in prauer. Did you ever stop to think why you knock on wood when you have just boasted of some good fortune? Well, if you don't know why you do it, I'll tell you. It is so that your good fortune will not be taken from you and you will still fall into the fall. But why don't you rap on tin or dirt or something? Why wood? Knock on Wood People used to believe that wood had a magic charm and power against evil. Sacrifices were made to the deities of the trees, and it was the chief aim of our forefathers to keep these spirits out of harm. In many cases a piece of wood, a twig or any part of a tree, insured a certain amount of success, good fortune and safety. That Yale University is strongly in favor, of universal compulsory military training in the United States was shown by the result of a straw ballot that would have last week. The total number of votes amounted to 1,400 of which 1,112 or 80 per cent., were in favor of some form of universal training. In addition it was officially announced that two representative undergraduate students from the Student Council, supported the majority. This may be taken as a clear indication of Yale's attitude in regard to the general idea of compulsory military service. However, no particular form was specified, nor was the answer to the special pill should be discussed at present.-McGill Daily. Lovers and warriors always wore a little piece of wood to bring them success. After a while men forgot the spirits, but they never forgot the wood, and the sacredness of the tree still remained, so they only needed to touch it to bring them success.—Ohio State Lantern. Yale Holds Straw Vote Harvard Men for France Harvard Men for France Seventeen Harvard undergraduates have volunteered to go to France, and have been accepted as ambulance drivers in the Field Service. These men will leave college immediately after mid-years and go at once to Europe on the French-American liner Chicago, sailing from New York on February 17th. Upon arriving in Paris they will be outfitted and formed into one unit known as the Harvard Section. FOR SALE -Remington typewriter No. 10; used but little; a beauty. Loves and works like new.
