KEEP 'EM OPEN
The library stacks should be open at night, on Saturdays, and the library should be kept open on Sunday. The plea of those in charge is "too little money." While the Board of Administration is making out its budget, it ought to make more liberal allowance for the library.
Students who have a great deal of library reading to do, and cannot do it in the daytime, or on Saturday, and there are many of them, should have the opportunity of working on Sunday. The plan meets with great success in other schools, and would be popular and sensible here.
WERE ALL RIGHT
Readers of the Kansas City Star out over the state think that the University is on the road to ruin, according to the reports of students who spent the holidays at home. The communications of the "alumni" are doing harm that it will take K. U, a long time to overcome.
The worst part of it is that the University can't "come back" at its critics.
The injustice of it all is appalling. Everybody in any way connected with the school, from the Chancellor to the jantors has been censured, except the alumni. As a matter of fact conditions in the University were never better.
PAY YOUR DUES
The Union needs the money Whether you have subscribed or not—and there are many who have not—you should pay your dues. A permanent Union is an impossibility unless some proper support of the temporary Union is given.
First call for Student Union pledges!
And still that county club central committee is unformed The legislature meets in a very few weeks, and any work to be done must be done quickly if it is to be effective. The individual clubs are willing, but their energy would be far more efficient, if directed by a central organization whose business it would be to seek out the best methods of campaign.
Senior women at the University of Nebraska are responsible for a revival of the custom of wearing caps the last convoction before Thanksgiving. Nebraska, you're effeminate, and you are developing into a seminary.
The University of Washington, like the University of Kansas, has joined the ranks of "co-rooting" institutions. Every woman feels free to express her spirit at all Varsity games.
Now that the football season is out of the way, we may expect a revival of the campaign for class memorials. The advantages of an early beginning are obvious.
MORNING IN KANSAS
There are lands beyond the ocean which are gray beneath their years, where a hundred generations learned to survive the sons of Shem and Japhet wet the furrow with their tears—and the moon is departed, and the night is closed.
Long ago the shadows lengthened in the lands across the sea, and the earth grew taller. So nearer we nearer alas! There are long desert homesheds in this country of the free-but it's morning here in Kansas, where I live. It is morning here in Kansas, and for breakfast bell is runge! We are not used to it; we mean to do; we have all day before us, for the morning is but young, and the skies are blue; and the skies are bright and blue.
Walt Mason.
HI is morning here in Kanaa, and I am ready to begin. One of the empires of an empire it is ours to do our best; with our hands at work in Kanaa, we shall be able to conquer. We shall not be counted idle when the day comes.
Browsing Around Spooner
Some books never get out of date, and University students will by no means be doing an old-fashioned thing by reading some of the old ones. Alice Hegan Rice's "Mrs. Wiggs" is thirteen years old, but is still selling at the rate of over a thousand copies a month.
"Neutral Nations and the War," is a new book out by James Bryce, at one time minister from England to the United States. He is known by school people as a writer of governmental and political books. The new book is published in large papers of Switzerland, and it is proposed to distribute the book in Swiss schools to lads in their latter teens.
To show that Julian Street writes other things than "Abroad at Home" this item is taken from the New York Times Book Review: "Julian Street's little masterpiece of humor, 'The Need of Change,' has just celebrated its fifth anniversary with a thirteenth edition newly illustrated by James Montgomery Flagg." The Times Book Review appears in the Sunday edition and can be found in the journalism library.
How to Have Better Football
The present football season is witnessing the first serious effort ever made by Eastern college teams to test and utilize the best features of the English and Canadian Rugby games. Princeton and Yale, in particular, are working with commendable zeal to open up the American game and to diversify its attack by employing the passing game so highly developed in England and Canada. Those of us who have been waiting for this move are the hidebond conservatism of the Eastern game welcome the experiment, no matter what the result may be.
It is difficult to single out individuals who should be thanked for this progressive action but the major portion of praise belongs to Donald G. Herring of Princeton and Frank Hinkey of Yale. Herring is the second graduate coach at Princeton, while Hinkey's head coach at Yale.
What Princeton is endeavoring to do through the coaching of Herring and his assistants Yale has been doing with quite as much success through the personal efforts of Hinkey and a group of Canadian stars imported to teach the passing game. Hinkey was an All-American end of years ago, but he has subsequently abstained in advance of it to judge by what Yale has done this fall. One of the things taught at Yale has been the quick, accurate side pass which makes the English game such a treat to watch. For instance in more than one game this year the Elis have featured the English play by which a runner, just as he is about to be tackled, passes the ball to another player who in turn passes it to a third when his progress with the ball is slowed down. In the section of the writer this play has wonderful possibilities, and if used in conjunction with the forward pass, or even the punting game, can speedily break up any defense.
The new features being taught at Princeton and Yale will do the college game incalculable good, but their success will be lasting only when the new ideas are taught in the schools. Our college players have a chance to play the ball, and that is the principal reason they refuse to risk its loss by trying the passing game. To the English and Canadian players passing the ball and catching it on the dead run are only second nature, they have just learned that they must just as soon as American school boys master this feature they will be just as expert as the English.—Edward R. Bushnell in Leslie's.
ONE BETTER
The University of Kansas is boasting of a freshman who has just passed his 16th year mark, but as usual
It is seldom that so young a student enters the University, but Bryan says: "I spent only five years in the grammar school, and was not eleven when I entered high school. I spent four years in high school and entered the College of Arts and Sciences with fifteen credits."
A prize of one thousand dollars for the best thesis written on a scientific subject by a woman, is offered by the Naples Table Association for Promoting Laboratory Research. The award commends an embody new observations and new conclusions based on independent laboratory research in biological (including physiological) chemical, or physical science.

SCHOLARSHIP WILL GO
TC BRIGHTEST FRESHMAN
In awarding the scholarship the scholarship committee will consider the efficiency and spirit of the study, the results, and that the scholarship would do him.
Asked as to what he intended to study, the youngest freshman said, "I think I shall major in English, and I will be studying it for four years here for it is the finest place I was ever in."—Daily Oklahoman.
The Charles Griffin Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to the freshman in the College who makes the highest average for the year. The scholarship amounts to $50. It was given by Mrs. A. J. Griffin, of Lawrence, as a memorial to her son, Prof. Charles Griffin, who was an animator and director at Kansas. He died while teaching in a Chinese university.
The Naples Table Association maintains a research table at the Zoological Station at Naples for qualified women students, and since 1893 has offered every two years a research prize of one thousand dollars. The American Women's Table is well equipped with apparatus and is sometimes used by four or five research students in the course of a year. The faculty member of the table has been Miss Nadine Nowlin, for several years assistant professor of zoology at the University of Kansas.
Last year Edward H. Hashinger, of Kansas City, was awarded the fund, having obtained thirty-three hours of straight ones.
The Association reserves the right to withhold the prize, and in the twelve years it was inaugurated it has been awarded but four times, twice to English women and twice to Americans. This is the prize known as the Ellen Richards Research Prize, and should be so designated in applications or requests for information. Application blanks may be obtained from the secretary of the Association, Ada Wing Mead, 283 Wayland Avenue, Providence, R. I.

Three plays, all serious dramas, are being considered, but to define what they will be called, Arthur MacMurray, who is to direct the club productions, in touch with several manuscript houses, in an endeavor to find the best, play possible. The action of the committee will be announced later. Until something else may be decided upon, no meetings of the new Dramatic Club will be held.

PRIZE SCIENTIFIC THESES
A closer union of sympathies between the two universities is hoped for as a result of this interchange. Heretofore there has not been the best of feeling at all times between the students and faculty; this venture will depend the establishment of a custom of yearly exchange of staffs.
Laying aside all animosity aroused by the big football game, the two humorous publications at Stanford and California will interchange staffs for special editions next month. The Pelican staff, all California men, will get out a Chaparral edition of the Pelican on the Stanford campus, and the Stanford men will return the compliment by getting out a Pelican edition of the Chaparral.
Wyandotte County Club will meet Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock in Room 110, Fraser. Arrangements will be made for a banquet in Kansas City during the Christmas holidays.
