UNIVERSITY COASTING PLACE
The deplorable accident of last week shows that even with every imaginable precaution, coating on city streets is not safe and cannot be made so. In spite of everything, irresponsible persons are able to bring about dangerous accidents. As long as the city does not feel able to close a street to traffic and give it over to coasting, there is no way of insuring safety.
Now coasting is rare sport, and under such inviting conditions as Lawrence has, young people cannot be kept from trying it. Nor should they be. But since coasting exacts its yearly toll of lives, and since the city cannot provide a safe place, it is up to the University to do so. This project is by no means impracticable or extravagant, as will appear.
For a moderate sum, between three hundred and four hundred dollars, an absolutely safe coasting place can be constructed on University grounds. It will not be dependent on snow, but could be flooded and frozen whenever the weather was at all cold. Thus the coasting season could be prolonged beyond the usual and uncertain four or five days, and everybody could enjoy the sport in safety
When so small an expenditure can produce such desirable results, there should be no hesitation on any score. The students need a place to coast and they ought to have it.
THOSE ACCOUNT BOOKS
Those student organizations which do not use the books provided for their accounts by the Board of Administration may have to explain to that body why they have not.
It is but right that they should. They have nothing else to expect. The books have been at the Registrar's office for months, their arrival was announced in the Kansas, and instructions given by Secretary Lardner as to what organizations should use them.
There is no excuse for the organizations to lag in the taking up of the books. The Oklahoma club, formed this late year, was the first organization to check out a book. The old organizations should have been the first. The officers should be glad to have some good method furnished them to keep their records.
COLLEGE DAY
As the day draws nearer for another trial at a College Day, the men in charge are wondering whether their attempt will prove a failure as did last year's. There are enough students enrolled in the College to accomplish anything if they just want to bad enough.
It is conceded that last year's failure was due mostly to the newness of the idea and the super-claborateness of the plans. No one seemed to realize just what it was all about. The faculty recognized this and hence refused to give a holiday unless a certain number of tickets were sold. The result is well known.
With the undesirable features of last year's flasco eliminated, College Day will come to mean all that its creators hoped for it. If the Faculty will grant the holiday, if the committee will not make arrangements for too elaborate a program and if every collegian will get behind and push, College Day will have "come back."
SOME MORALIZING
Is it presuming for a little high school with two hundred students to offer its sympathy to as large and prosperous an institution as K. U?. Ever since the day 2 there have been people who lived in yesterday. "The old school aint like it used to be; we did things." We have a few of them who came in, carved their names on a desk or two, got a few grades and went out; but is it not a fact that they all show their actual worth by what they do afterwards? Tell me, alumnus, do you admire the fellow who puts in a great deal of time finding fault with the power that helped to make him a man, father, mother or Alma Mater?-Galena Cosmo
HE'S THE GOAT
A cub complains because the "higher-ups" take all the credit upon themselves when he writes something good, but when he makes a "bone" they never want to take any of the blame—Ex.
So? Well, we never saw a "cub" who didn't advertise his own good stories far and wide, while as for bones—why, everybody knows that the editor is to blame for all of them.
THE SHELL GAME IN FOOTBALL
BALL'
Under this head Harper's Weekly for November 23 prints an article by Herbert Reed on one of the ways he made a winning team this season.
"Sitting up in the stadium at Harvard one looks down on the field of play, and on this very neat little shell game of Percy Haughton's, and wonders why something so apparently simple cannot be solved by the opposing eleven, says Reed after excerpts from the book he met merely hiding the ball like the circus man bides the little pea under one of three walnut shells.
"Well, Harvard happens to be supplied with a good center, one splendid and one very good guard," continues the writer. "They are imbued with the old idea that 'the territory behind the line is sacred to the backs.' No one comes through on Logan, while he is playing his little shell game. He can make one delay or two delays in solid comfort; he can even give him a chance to reappear again before turning it over to the man who, at the end, is depended probably will be defeated from time upon to make the good gain.
"Harvard teams of the future to time, but the very pretty 'hidden ball' passing will remain as one of the best systems in the Crush's system of play," concluded Reed. "Let those who are inclined to call it old fashioned, play against it and learn just how thoroughly up-to-date a great fundamental, that of hiding their head and arms, brought with a real genius at hand to do the coaching."

To the Mothers of Martred Dead
My flesh cries out for its own flesh!
My blood demands its own heart's
And bear with Him the tortures of the Cross;

To bring forth I did pass through
Kethsnage.
The thundrous roar of cannon is the answer to my call.
And to what end? to add one more unto the
Martyrd dead upon the field of battle.
His dear face, covered with my
burned face. Uturned in marble coldness, blood-
Uturned in marble coldness, blood-
The death-dew gathering on his brow.
Upturned in marble coldness, blood
stained,
Their mother was not a monarch.
His sweet voice, lingering fondly
at carewell Mother!" forever
forever
His loving arms entwined about me,
and shell, O Mother of the Christ!
Again I pass through dark Gethse mane,
Box Stationary All Grades—All Prices McCulloch's DrugStore
And share with thee tortures o
the Cross.
The Conqueror
A little while ago, I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon—a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold, fit almost for a deity dead—and gazed upon the sarcophagus of rare and priceless marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man. I leaned over the balustrade and pricedessible marble, greatest soldier of the modern world. I saw him walking upon the banks of the seine, contemplating suicide. I the Sine, contemplating suicide. I saw him at Toulon—saw him putting down the mob in the streets of Paris—I saw him at the head of the army of Italy—I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi, with the tricolor in his hand—I saw him in Mideu—I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags. I saw him at Marengo—at Ulm and Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wild blasts scattered his legions like Wainer's withered leaves; I saw him in Winter's defeat and metets back upon Paris—clutched like a wild beast—banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former kind. And I saw him it to Saint Helena, with his hands it to the sea, with his arms and so sollen sea. I thought if the orphans and widows he had made—of the tears that had been bed for his glory, and of the only woman who ever loved him, pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would farther have been a humble, hardworking, French peasant, and worn from the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the Autumn sun. I would rather have been poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day layed out of the sky—with my children upon my knees, their arms raised, their hands held, their hat man and gone down to the ungueless silence of the dreamless lust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of force and murder, crown as "Napoléon the Great." Robert Ingersoll.
Kansas Alumni Shown in Facts and Figures
The women, generally teach in secondary schools or get married, many are on the faculty of universities and colleges. Their third choice, or fate, whichever it may be, is to work in farming. Seven are engaged in farming, an equal number in writing or editing, and nine in pharmacy.
Did you ever wonder how many people have been graduated from your University? At the present time the University of Kansas has granted diplomas to 5,448 people. Of this number, 1,679 have been women, and 3,769 men. Only 247 of the alumni are dead.
Lawrence Church Directory
The living, 5,201, are widely scattered, although not so much as one might expect. A large majority, or to be more exact, 3,104, is in Kansas. Next comes Missouri, with 455, and following closely are Oklahoma and California. More than 70 are abroad, and five have visited Philadelphia, but India and Canada claim 6 each; Africa, Alaska, Central America and Cuba, 4 apiece, and Mexico 8. Turkey, Tasmania, Italy, or Bulgaria hold as many graduates as Alamaca, Georgia, Maine, South Carolina or Vermont. In fact a University man may be found almost anywhere, and he may be engaged in engineering, or among the men is law, next comes engineering, then medicine. Many are teachers or administrators, in universities and colleges.

HOW TO CUT YET NOT MISS CLASS
Use the "Dry Cut" System
To begin with, Dry Cut is no relation to Plug Cut and it has nothing to do with a Feather Edge Cut class in the form of "cutting" class without doing it.
Now the students know, and the faculty knows, that many cuts are recorded because the student is uninterested in cutting class and get "bawled out." Of course there is always the chance that it may be a lucky day and that he can bluff or not be called upon, but then he will be bawled by nature and do not take a change.
At Yale the "dry cut" or half-cut system is used to cure the cutting evil. If a student is unprepared he may go to class, signify that he does not wish to recite, and be credited with one-half a cut. Thus he gets the benefit of the lecture and the recitations.
The system works satisfactorily, and is desirable from both the instructors' and the students' points of view.
