No, freshman, corn oil is not a pat ent medicine, but a food product.
Has anybody here seen the inves-
tigating committee?
Freshman Harrison will probably stick his finger under the shower next time.
P. C. IS AT IT AGAIN
Our old friend, the Physics Clock, which we may presume made a resolution at the beginning of the new year to conduct himself decorously soon fell from grace. This morning he was having a fine time amusing the students.
DO IT NOW
The well-worn saying, "in time of war prepare for peace," is applicable to the coasting situation. There is no coasting now and may not be any more this winter. Some day there will be, however, and if the same old conditions are allowed to exist, the same accidents will happen.
The city commissioners should pass an ordinance unequivocally prohibiting coasting on the streets. Theirs is a tremendous responsibility as lawmakers, and theirs is a share of the blame arising from negligence in the matter of public safety.
"DUTCH" GALLANTRY
One of the ladies of the faculty in telling of her experience while a student at the University of Göttingen, Germany, related how she once held the front door open while eight or ten men students entered. It was one of that enormous unwieldy kind of doors which are so hard, to open and which tax a woman's strength. These men, although they might at least have opened the door for her did not offer to do so, but stood idly by while she tugged and strained with it, and then walked in, leaving her to hold it open for them.
The explanation of their action is that they had probably attended school at the University of Kansas, where if one holds the door open for anyone, a half a hundred are apt to troop in, ignoring him completely. And it is not only the women. Frequently, not wishing to shut the door in someone's face a student will hold it open expecting the one behind him to take ablod of it. As often as not the one behind will bolt through, and leave the student who tried to be courteous still holding the door.
PROFESSORIAL COURTESY
Why is it that the authorities in "Spooner" favor faculty members, and especially gentlemen faculty members, so?
If a mere student dares even to let his heels touch the floor in there, let alone bringing his hat into the room or even whispering, he immediately discovers two or three black-browed librarians bearing down upon him with all sails set, and he flies
for safety to the outer regions.
but what of the aforementioned faculty members. They "stomp" unconcernedly about on the bare floors, scouring the strips of noise-deadener in the aisles that a timid student will step a mile to hit, rather than let his rubber soled shoe touch the floor.
Moreover the professor upon entering the library retains his hat clamped solidly down over his ears as if he were afraid some untrustworthy student will snatch it up, if he takes it off.
As for talking—it seems to be a favorite aorte of some faculty men with deep bass voices to hold gabbests in the very center of the library, to see which can outroar the other.
"DATES IN AMERICA"
No, savage reader, as Mark Twain used to say, "Dates in America" is not the title of a treatise on campusology, but of a paper recently read before the Botany Club. Think of a mere botanist trying to cover such a comprehensive subject! Doub-less he did the best he could, but imagine calling a date a berry and putting the price at a dollar a pound. Any man who ever had a date knows that they can be classified as lemons or peaches, depending on circumstances. Also that many of them cost more than a dollar a pound
Our botanist said that dates are not native to America, and flourish in only a few states. As if America wasn't the land of dates par excellence. To be sure, he was right in locating the fruit principally in the West, where chaperons are few and far between, and the mid-week rule is the date's most deadly enemy.
He might have truthfully added that dates grow thickest in college communities, and are the chief ornament of many campuses. They are commonly a rather expensive crop, but some persons have solved the problem of getting a good yield without much expenditure in money. This is easiest accomplished in the spring and fall, and demands a good deal of time. People who are not very particular can get a good lot of dates by sacrificing quality to quantity.
Dates are perfectly harmless in moderate quantities, but the date habit is a most insidious one, that steals upon its victim ere he is aware, and works havoc with his peace of mind. It induces weakening of the will, loss of sleep, flattening of the pocketbook, and often symptoms of flunking. Under its baneful influence the most promisng candidate for Phi Beta Kappa may join the ranks of the ineligible; the best athlete may go off his feed; the most inoffensive freshman may begin to put on airs and exhibit enlargement of the head. In its earlier stages the habit may be broken by using will power, but if it once gets a hold on a man, he might as well give up. The only thing that will cure him is matrimony.
Essays Picked Young
In Lawrence snow is a very useful phenomenon; it keeps the acrid dust of Massachusetts from blowing about the village for a time, furnishes a gratefully received supply of water for the harassed householder, and serves to bring the one-way street cars into the lime-light.
Snow is not what it seems to be. Hence snow in a college town is a particular feature of the landscape. A plaque applique to the Christmas spirit
To the week-end fusser, snow means $1.50 per evening, to the fusse it means an opportunity to let the other girls of the house know that her date isn't one of the tight-wad variety.
SNOW
Snow is of several kinds: one is seen in pictures of Switzerland as the background for a picture of a pleasant girl with a red girdle and wooden shoes; this shows a mountainous aesthetic. The other kind of snow is seen in the mental picture of the home town at holiday time; it includes the thought of the small brother laboring about the basement with buckets of asses and niggers to keep the elderly to help him, and of the village marshal shoveling away at the drifts. This picture rarely appeals to the aforementioned aes. sen.
DEBATING
In the early kashmir the three men debated tryouts the were more than forty new men out for places on the Varsity debating squad. In the second tryout there were eighteen who survived the first one and five old men from last year. Out of these twenty-four men fifteen men were picked to represent the school in intercollegiate contests .
Assuming all of the old men will get places on the teams there are only three men to be chosen from the original forty. And I might remark in passing that there were only about forty men out for football this fall. Can it be possible that the president of the debating council is a man who will be the tyrants in the future will be so well attended if the men know before hand that only three or four new men will be chosen?
In baseball we compete with four different schools. The same is true of track athletics. In basketball we compete with six different schools. And in football we compete with eight different schools.
To the Daily Kansan:
What we need is more contests with other schools if the debating council president expects to have the men in the school tryout in the future.
It seems that the logical school for us to meet is the Agricultural College. We have every kind of athletic contest with them. They are in the field. We also have a larger enrollment than we do. It is a certainty that if the debating council president doesn't get more contests for the University that in the future there will cease to be the mustache that there has been in the past.
In debate we only meet one school that is in the Missouri Valley Conference or has as large an enrollment as we have. Oklahoma doesn't have as large an enrollment as we do by half.
And in closing I might say the
time begins to get more contests
laws now.

ABOUT THE "TERRIBLE TURK"
The popular Western conception or the Turkish army is something in the nature of a wild Zoonave, marshalized in battalions and fired with a fanatical, homicidal machete. You find such a conception realized. The great majority of Ottoman regulars are singularly plain, unpicturesque, unpretentious soldiery. On their heads they wear either gray basylkys wound turbanwave, or plain fezes or "kalpaks" of a yellow brown color corresponding to their German-made uniforms of rough, woolen leggings, legs or knee bumpy way with the same material in a Turkish conception of a puttee, and on their feet either short boots or the soft leather moccasin-like shoes of the Balkans give them a comfortable agricultural look. Singly or in bulk there is nothing at all smart about them, but they look exceedingly equal to the delivery of goods. Altogether, these make a fashion fade indistinguishably into the landscape as anything human could. Many of them are Anatolians and some are ruddy-faced Kurds from the Caucasus; others come from the Taurus Mountains, back of Konia and Aleppo, swarty Syrians and Arab types. Any one of them will fight at the drop. He will fight any other anything. There is nothing about him to polish or to be kept clean. As he stands he sleeps and eats, drills, marches, and goes into battle—George Marvin, in "The World's Work" for January.
Princeton University is sending Dean Howard McClenahan of its faculty to Europe to study the war at first hand.
During the past four years the number of accredited high schools in the state of Missouri has increased 78 per cent according to the reports of University of Missouri. In this time the number has increased from 226 to 402.
In 1911 there were sixteen counties in the state without an approved high school, but now there is but one, Warren county. The increase was that the town from the University was constantly making entrance more difficult.
