Do cheeks aglow
Do joy dat Christmas render;
Do sleet, De skate
Do cold does make
Do mighty fine De-cember.
WELCOME, FATHERS AND MOTHERS!
In our "working clothes" we we come you, our fathers and mothers
We're not putting on any airs. In the first place, it wouldn't be any use. You know us too well. And in the second place, we don't want to. For we want you to see us just as we are, day in and day out. We want you to see for yourselves what we eat and wear, who our friends are and how we pass our time with them, what our lessons are and how long it takes us to get them, what kind of men and women our professors are and what kind of information they are stuffing down us in the classroom, what our buildings and our classrooms are like. We want you to be acquainted with our campus. We hope you will come to love it as we do. We want you to share with us the inspiration of the view from Mount Oread. We want you to understand what it means to us. And the long pull up the Hill, the rush for 8:30 classes, the boning for quizzes and the sigh of relief after a hard one, the movies, Brick's, Lee's, Wiedemann's, the physic's clock and McCook Field—these things are important on our horizon. We want them to become parts of your lives as they are parts of ours. We want you to work and play with us—even as you used to when we were wee swa youngsters back at home. In short, we want you to live with us our college life for a few days.
In our working clothes, we bid you welcome.
DEPAUW AND HER FRESHMEN
Seeing and hearing a woman like Mrs. MacDowell kind of helps one to doctor up his belief in humanity.
DePauw University offers a course called "How to Study," open only to freshmen, and giving regular college credit. It is said that the scholastic standing of the class has undergone a shift since the installation of the course.
This is one way of solving the problem suggested in the complaint frequently heard: "I flunked because I was too late to be until after I had been here a year."
Some method of scholastic guidance for the freshman seems advisable. To the student, a good situation, in a manner which is certain to have an effect, is undoubtedly better than other attempts which have been made in the same general directive.
The Big Brother plan may do some good along this line, although its primary object is different. Even so, it is scarcely reasonable to expect such a voluntary scheme, so vitally dependant on people's capabilities, to produce perfect results.
The system of advisers, under the loose organization which was in vogue here, cannot be expected to be superiority guidance by upperclassmen for freshman sounds
better than it ordinarily works out in
practices, and besides, applies to but a
new kind of work.
Perhaps DePauw is on the right track toward cutting down the number of freshmen who flunk out through sheer inexperience.
Don't boast; keep busy!
HOW OLD IS MARY?
"Achievements of life depend upon the ability to keep young," says an editorial in "National Flood-Marks." What is youth, after all? Is it only something physical—merely a master of years, of bloom in the cheeks? Is Mary old when she has reached maturity, of bloom in the Mary! Her age is determined by the condition in which she has kept her body, by the books she has read, the things she has observed, the society she has kept, and by thoughts that have passed through her mind. Youth, then, depends upon the feed-ment sources of Wepon constant materials. You want more than a mental state. Mary is just as old as she thinks she is, if, with the first signs of coming gray hair, she gives up her outdoor sports for fear of stiffness in the joints, confines herself to the sitting room, to sitting, and the Ladies' House where she lives her black, and wears an old lady's bonnet, just ask the young folks about her if they consider her one of their laughs and take note of their answer!
THE TIGHT ROPE WALKER
Some people regard life as a straight and narrow path, and a thorny one at that! Others look upon it as an elaborate code of rules and formality. Life is more like walking a tight rope. Lean out as far to either side as you wish, and all is well, as long as you keep your balance. But for an in-depth study of equilibrium, and you bound for the start of all over again.
Jayhawk Squawks
The University of Kanaa is unfortunate in having more boys and fewer men.
What we need more in these days, and will need when the present generation of college students is out fighting for a living, is a race of men with character, intelligence, and can meet men in all positions and still know where they stand.
The recent trouble with the faculty over the so-called "Naughty Rally" has shown that the men of the University of Kansas as a body are lacking in the spirit and punch that counts.
With the suspension of eight fellow students staring in the floor, eighteen hundred who called themselves men crawled into their corners and called the faculty *v* crowd of old moss-backs.
The men were suspended November 28. Every student in the University knew it by November 29. Not a public statement was made nor any action taken with the Senate until Wednesday, December 6, the day after the regular meeting of that body.
It was then to late to take any action until January without a special Senate meeting. And it takes plenty of wire pulling and wading through red tape to call a special Senate meeting.
And we want men who can think they can be as nearly right as the Senate; men who will come out and stand openly for their convictions; men who don't write communications and say "You can publish it if you publish it under or—if you publish it under my name cut out these last sentences."
We want alert men. Men who jump at the crack of the gun, and find out why, at least, instead of raising a howl only when requested to do so by a newspaper reporter, and making it a weak howl at that.
We want substantial men. Men who will propose consecutive measures instead of knocking behind their victim's back. Men who will work to gain their end and substantiate their convictions.
The students themselves are responsible for the faculty holding the reins of discipline, but despite the fact that they haven't any final say, if raised immediately would have sounded mighty loud to the Senate.
To speak scholastically we need more of the active and less of the passive.
There are these men in school, but there are also those who prefer to be tailor's models rather than men. Their spirit saps the real spirit out of those who have the real stuff in them.
We need more of the spirit of the old sailor who translated the tattoo-on his onik "Dum Spiro Spero" as "While I'm Alive I'll Kick."

Where did the students stay at school of schools for starting college realty?
A STATEWIDE PROTEST
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good but with names will not be published without the writer's consent
Practically every student, on the campus and at the rooming houses is discussing means of showing disapproval of the action of the Senate in the case of the assaults that were suspended because of their part in the naughty rally. If the Senate refuses to modify its decision by the first of the week, the suggestion is made that men composing the statement may show up publically, the affair state wide publicity.
The suggestion is that as a last resort each man in the University write a personal letter to his home paper and another letter to his father and mother, setting forth in detail the facts of the case. It is thought that if the people of this state know the real reasons for the rayl that of more than 500 implanted rats rally only eight are being punished, and that the Senate in reaching its decision used mediaeval methods of procedure, making no pretense that it is punishing the leaders or instigators of the rally—the justice-loving citizens of Kansas would make a protest which could not be disregarded.
SHOULD A WOMAN PROPOSE?
W. C. G.
In answer to the article in Wednesday night's Kansan, "Should Woman Propose," I say emphatically "No." True it is that woman is now sharing her passion for education, business, politics, all feel the powerful influence of feminine minds.
The privilege of proposing is the only thing left for mere man. Therefore I say let him enjoy this privilege alone.
A FRESHMAN'S PRAYER
signed M. R. (A junior woman)
Dear Father Time! Hasten, we pray thee, the day when all good freshmen shall be no more; direct our erring paths through the blind maze of college endearment; teach us the beauty of obedience; may our students have occasion for regret because of their sludders; may we learn to be humble.
Signed
And, dear Father—when at length we are ushered forth as sophomores, give us strength and wisdom—strength to tharry any erotic freshic, wisdom in selecting a fitting board; close our eyes to reason—away with senti-
A Freshman.

THE LITTLE THINGS
Two pretty girls came breezing into the bank and laughingly up to me, their window. They present their checks receipts on a lightly out again. A few minutes later they return, their faces a little more serious. "How much was that check? Oh, you gave me two dollars it." It is the little things that count.
SCRIBISH SCRIBBLINGS
The "stuck up" aren't all confine to the other side of the Alleghenies. The other day we heard of a K. U student who was too proud to stand at the door and take tickets at a recent University function.
The ukulele, which, translated means "dancing flee," was invented by a Portuguese immigrant about forty years ago and was given its name because of the "jumping" manner in which it is played.
No, he wasn't a "son of the idle
thief." He is working his way
through school.
A large shepherd dog was parading the Hill yesterday with this sign in his mouth, "i eat at the Sanitary Cafe." This is one of the most novel bits of advertising seen yet, especially for a sanitary cafe.
Last week we could hardly wait to see the Sour Owl—like the law student who drew a room with a bath in a hotel. When shown the tub tub he exclaimed, "Gee, I can hardly wait 'til Saturday night to get in it."
Just when a fellow thinks he has his allowance under control, some one has to start a campaign for the Ar-
tector. The coctioner raises the price of chocolate.
Where is the fellow who used to sing it, "Bringing in the Cheese?"
But since the nearest stellar source of nocturnal illumination is distant some 70,437,632,898 miles, its imposition on the surface of the midnight oil is negligible.
"The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one."
"The woman of the house answered the knock at the door of the tumble down."
"How do you do?" asked the visitor,
"I am Miss Smith the school nurse,
and I have come to give you a few suggestions on child welfare."
