THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1917.
HALLS OF RESIDENCE
It is the business of articulation to
kill, kill and thought in the world—
Matthews, who wrote it.
Every year sees some new trouble concerning housing conditions, especially for women, in the University. There are always wrangles over house rules, terms of contracts, and general sanitary conditions.
bill recently introduced into the legislature offers a very effective remedy for these troubles. The proposed measure would allow each of the large state schools to issue bonds to the extent of $100,000 to build halls of residence for women, to be run by the institution at only enough profit to retire the bonds and provide a sinking fund.
The student district is entirely too small to meet the demand of an increasing enrollment. There are very few more rooming houses today than there was ten years ago when the enrolment was but one-half as large as it is today. Students are living many blocks away from the hill, and every year the number who must ride the street cars to and from classes increases.
The passage of a bill to provide dormitories for the women of the University would not cost the state one penny. In passing the bill the legislature merely puts its stamp of approval on a thing that has long been recognized as a necessity by the alumni and students of the University.
It is not necessary to expand on the benefits of halls of residence for women. The elements of democracy, better school work, and cheaper and better rooms under direct University supervision and their benefits are only evident.
In studying labor saving devices one can't get away from the fact that the easiest way is just to let the labor slide. Take for example, the windows of the Lawrence Street Cars.
The question now is will the legislature shy at the expenditure of $100,000 extra for each of the big state schools even if the schools themselves secure the money and pay it back without any added expense to the state.
MERCHANTS' WEEK
Each year merchants' week is becoming more popular, both with the merchants and with the University of Kansas, until now it is regarded as one of the few big weeks of the school year. It has come to be a sort of family reunion inasmuch as it brings together several hundred scattered Jayhawkers and unites them with the highly organized group that composes the Thundering Thousand.
But it is not the fact that several hundred fellow Kansans are guests at K. U. that makes the occasion one of
major proportions; it is the conditions under which the get-together takes place. There is no social pump and ceremony, no dash and vim of the football gathering. We simply get together as Kansens as fellow students.
With a common basis upon which to work the union between visitor and host is easily completed and as a result the merchants each year leave here with a firm resolve to return next year, not as visiting merchants but as Jayhawkers. They have profited from their visit and association with the University and the institution in turn has learned a good many new things from them. In other words the benefit has been mutual.
That is why Merchants' Week has come to mean so much to both the University and business men of the state.
Now that the fine weather is here isn't it about time to begin taking visitors to the top of Fraser?
THE TIME-KILLER
"My time is valuable. Get on out of here and leave me alone, I gotta study."
How many times has this cry gone up from a Mr. Wood B. Worker who has idied away many an hour wondering why the other fellows get all the grades—and "grapes" in their college life. This gentleman is the man who puts in eighteen hours of every twenty-four the last few days before the finals working like a dog—and immediately when the next semester opens and he has pulled through by the skin of his teeth, other fields of endeavor loom up more enticing than mere studies or school activities.
And the sad part of it all is Mr. W.
B. W. figures the only way to get in
condition for the next spurt is to loaf
continually until the eleventh hour is
at hand.
This is an age when the big men are keeping ahead of their work—not letting their work get ahead of them. They are capitalizing the spare moments that fall between intervals of necessary routine work by doing the best thing at that particular moment, whether it be to read a book, take a walk in the fresh air, clinch a friendship, win over an enemy, whistle a tune, talk politics, or write a letter home.
The real problem is the fellow who "just sits." The man who will deliberately spend the best hours of the day "just killing time" is not only holding back himself, but he is committing a crime against society by robbing it of interest on the principle that it has given him in the shape of opportunity.
Time will pass of itself. There is no necessity of aiding it in its flight. The problem is to take as many of the finer things of life from the little niches called moments in the endless belt of time.
The Kansas City Star's recent action in calling attention to the mistake made by the Kansan in referring to Mme. Bloomfield Zeisler's first name as Anna instead of Fannie recalls some of the spelling used by the Star in naming Kansas football players during the past season.
Art can be appreciated by Americans only when expressed in dollar marks. An unknows artist can achieve a masterpiece and remain in obscurity unless chance brings his painting before the public. And even then its reception will be gauged by the buyer and not the artist.
And speaking about spelling, a Kansas paper recently referred to Dr. Neigh Smith, of the University of Kansas, as the inventor of basketball. Should this not vindicate the Frosh?
MERCENARY ART
Let some millionaire's passing fancy light on a painting and the reputation of the artist is made. All his subsequent efforts will be eagerly applauded and bid for not for themselves but because big money fathered them.
The art exhibit in the Ad Building contains real works of art—paintings that can be appreciated by anyone. yet the artists name will not be asked as often as the price of the picture.
JES' FILLER
He thought it is.
Clever to see
As a tough
Guy.
He considered it a
Mark of manhood
To talk of
Calamari and
Sud-sparlers in
Terms of
Familiarity.
His escapades were
Terrible to
Think of.
He thought the
Quickest way to
City ways was
To do what no
City man ever
Does.
So he encountered
His first real
Counsel.
It welcomed him as it
Welcomes every
Small town sport.
What he did and
What he didn't do is
None of our affair
But—he ain't yearnin'
For city ways
No more.
Nevah Mo'!
"Young man!"—It was her father's voice—
"My watch says eleven-thirty!"
"Well, I didn't hear it say a word." Chirped clever, artful Bertie.
Had I better take 'em off?
Molly likely.

Had I better leave 'em on?
Mos' likely.
In its efforts to stop outsides.

Do you think it's gonna freeze? Meal!likely
With heavy furs to keep it warm?.
Mos' likely.
With fragile garments on my hide?
I'll wear them and need a form.
with fragile garnishes on my hide
will I shamp and wrap and pad my form
Leaves a-sprintin' on the trees?
Most likely
Dressed for sunshine or for snow' Mos' likely.
"Tell me, Oscar, how do they seven diplomatic relations?"
Kansas weather's awful queer—
keeps a man in constant fear.
How shall we poor Kansans go—
dressed for sunshine or for
"That's easy! They never diplomatize me by it!" He sharp note full of cutting remarks.
And then the speaker of the house cleared his throat and said, "Will some gentleman lend me his watch? I've busted my gavel."
If anything sets heavy on your stomach, ten chances to one are that it's the board you've been eating.
Why mention the conglomeration
of fork holds" when there is such
harmlessness?
I am eating my soup with a fork
O divine fork!
Fork that smells of garlic and gumbo.
It is noon.
The odor of grub permeates the place
Humans—burry humans—
Are gargling their soup eloquently. A waiter screams:
"A slab o' moo and ditch the trim min's!!"
**
The glasses tinkle.
A maiden smiles on me.
O wonderful hour of bliss!
Like the soft whispering of angels She beamed upon me.
sweet chords of music were her eyes;
and her check a fresh bloom petal!
In 1924, the composer

I looked again.
And her cheek a n breath...
Once more I looked yet closer—
The cost of white paper has not seriously affected the mail man's load.
What has become of the old fashioned girl who braided her hair down her back?
Velvet petals capped in acid. My vision was eating fried onions!
Regardless of the skating craze we have not observed any Charlottes on the local ponds. Which will probably result in the fad going by the boards
A good many lasting impressions he made, lately. Jayhawk picture, images.
A notice reads that a certain fraternity will hold its annual mock initiation soon. As to whether it is a mock affair depends entirely upon the point of view. Our guess is that some of the fresh have other opinions.
Another advantage in being a woman is that you do not have to depend upon the city water to maintain a clean looking complexion.
Prof: "Did any of the problems in today's lesson bother you?"
Our idea of something real exciting would be a race between two Lawrence street cars.
Of course the fact that students get a holiday on Lincoln's birthday has nothing to do with their devotion to the Great Emancipator.

POET'S CORNER
Aln't it hard, this life we live
One thing, then,
If it all a prof it's a girl or two
I ain't no head, so what's the use of it? I don't make a show.
It's "New all this term
We'll keep you on the rack."
And string the prefix with a line of dope—
The profs they said, "Till you go home."
If it ain't a prof it's a girl or two
That's always causin' bother.
home; Now since we are back We all this farm
A "SAM" OF LIFE
They pulled those gags when they was
They're old Friends to your junk; But they smile real smile when you pass
Then hand you out a flunk
Then hand you out a flunk.
They think it's their personal heaven sent right
To put your neck en-rope.
But I don't care a blamed eight much if they can me out of school,
I sure ain't such a fool. —M.E. 17.
