"Who drains the cup of another's happiness shall find it bitter; who drains the cup of another's bitterness shall find it sweet."—Newel DWRRH Hills
TIME FOR THE CITY TO ACT
Here and there on the many streets approaching Mount Oread are little strips of grey and brown peeking through the snow blanket. These little strips mark the sidewalks in front of the homes of those who have had consideration for the hundreds who must pass to and from classes along these walks every day.
The lamentable thing about these little strips is that they are in the minority, and the steepest places on the sides of the hill are packed hard and slippery. Such places are traps that breed such little inconvenience as broken arms, cracked heads, and sprained ankles—all little things, but serious enough to stand as evidence in a prosecution for criminal negligence against the property owner who fails to clean the sidewalk.
The accident last night should be the usual calamity that locks the barn after the horse is stolen. Just how serious was the injury to the young lady who fell, when walking in the street, because the sidewalks were too slippery is not yet known, but it should be a warning to clean the snow off the walks. Dozens of minor falls, resulting in bruised elbows, sprained wrists, bumped heads and skinned hands did not gain any response. Perhaps an accident of more serious nature will.
Immediately after every snowfall every foot of sidewalk on the side of Mount read ought to be cleaned off—not only with a scoop, but swept clean of all snow.
It is the duty of the city of Lawrence to see that this is done, and the city commission should see that it is done, or do the work itself and charge the property owners who fail.
"It's easy enough to be pleasant, when life goes along with a song, but the man worth while is the man who can smile—" when he has an examination in Chemistry and Physics both on the same day.
TODAY AND TOMORROW
The fight is on.
The fight is on.
The first appropriation bill for state educational institutions has been introduced into the Legislature by the three representatives from Douglas County, asking for $350,000 buildings on the campus at the University. Of this appropriation $200,00 is for a Fine Arts Building and Auditorium, and $150,000 for the completion of the central portion of the Administration Building.
It is useless to comment further on the pressing need of the University for these buildings. The essential thing now is to urge everyone to keep his shoulder to the wheel and to see that the University does not drop into
the mire of inadequacy on account of the lack of necessary class and laboratory room.
The average student will be surprised to find what weight his word wil have with the legislative bodies of Kansas, even though the legislator may think the student view point prejudiced. The University students of today will be the leaders in their respective communities tomorrow, and their requests will at least get respectful attention.
The students of Today can help the K. U. of Tomorrow by using their influence to get a bigger and better University from the present legislature.
You never can tell. This time we had planned to go sleigh riding Saturday night.
STUDENT-FACULTY MIXERS
Students at the University of Kansas are passing up a big opportunity when they fail to promote more fellowship between themselves and faculty members. About once every two years some bright student puts on a faculty-student mixer, makes a good start and then the matter is dropped.
The members of the faculty are not the pedagogical taskmasters they may seem. Of course, one can't learn to know them in the class room but great returns are to be bead by the student who cares to cultivate the friendship of the men on the faculty.
And the faculty man likes to talk to the student—to get on a common ground which can be reached only at some informal gathering like a mixer. The student will understand his professor better, and take more interest in his work if he gets a chance to see the inner and human side of him occasionally.
Each faculty member has a distinctive personality and individuality. He has seen some phase of human life that you may not know or he has traveled in parts of the world that might interest you. To know men of this type is largely what constitutes an education. So since they are here for the purpose of "teaching the young idea" why not get all the benefits possible? Why, not get the students and faculty members together on a common basis occasionally.
Every day or so we get optimistic only to have the whole dream spoiled by having some tightwad refuse to lend us his notebook.
We have no kick on Chicago University women swimming in sterilized, perfumed water. We would venture a guess, however, that there is some daily scrap over whether the perfume of the day be Mary Garden, Ambre Rayale, or what not.
Among others, there is the bore who insists on telling you about the "girl back home."
And the freshman who was a "bear"
in high school.

CONCEIT AND ASTRONOMY Editor Daily Kansan;
"No indeed! Think of all the homeless bats and owls.
Occasionally a student enters the University who is so conceived that even the diminutive freshman cap and other treatments prescribed by upper-classmen do not lessen his high regard for himself.
No course offered next semester would do him more good than the one in descriptive astronomy. Of the many facts in that course that will help him understand the nature of his relative importance in the universe, the following are typical.
There are possibly a billion stars in the sky. Each of those little stars is as large as our sun. The volume of the sun is more than a million times that of the earth. The largest telescope in the world could detect the nearest planet, could not possibly detect Kansas, let alone any one of its million and a half inhabitants.
One semester of astronomy is a guaranteed cure for coneit. The course, is interesting, which cannot be said of every course offered on the Hill. Jules Verne, in the wildest flights of his imagination, never concocted fiction as strange as the facts of astronomy.

MOVIE, MUSICALE, MORAI
Once upon a time two frreshmen attended a musical given by a university organization. All through the program they fidgeted and fretted—interrupted each other, each other that on the morrow they would attend something different.

When the evening of the next day arrived they met as arranged and sallied forth in the search of diversion. The faring posters of our town told them, "Here is where we will go—this is just the place that we have been looking for." So they entered and seated themselves upon a front seat. Soon the "man above" threw the bright light on his screen and the show began. Charlie Chaplin dodged bricks—some successfully and sometimes unsuccessfully.
Annette Kellerman did the jackknife neatly from a 300 foot cliff; Douglas Fairbanks teaped from a three-story building into a treetop, smiling as usual, an unknown girl jumped wildly from a speeding passenger train into the seashell; a mobile which, at least nine mobile phones, and a little girl with a big revolver captured three highwaymen in the act of throwing a railroad switch. Yea many such marvels were shown upon that screen.

When the show was over the fresmen arrose with beaming countercessances. "We will never attend musicals or lectures again," they said, "It is here that we will come—my, wasn't that fine?"—Daily Iowa.
"O! George. You will soon be home from college and we can go bathing. I haven't been in the water for nine months."
