MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1914.
It is encouraging to note how well the students are following Cheerleader Jo Berwick's request for new yells. Several have already been turned in, but an infinite supply can be used.
WANTED. NEW YELLS
At the Missouri game two years ago when the Tigers were caught in the underbow of the Mosse-Frank machine, the versatile cheering of the Kansas cohorts was one of the big features. The city papers commented on it in clever feature stories. The University of Kansas could ill afford to do less this year.
The promises are that an extra large delegation from the Tiger school will come over to see the annual clash, besides the usual crowd from the surrounding cities. A large variety of yells, properly led by efficient leaders will do more than any other one thing besides the game itself, to make the day an interesting one for the 15,000 that will gather on McCook Field November 21.
O telephones! O manners!
TELEPHONE MANNERS
Did you ever try at five minute intervals for half an hour to call up a rooming house or chapter house, only to be put off every time with "Line's busy"? Did you ever live on a party line and try to get in with something important, and be held up by a long drawn out rhapsody about what he said, and I said, and "Oh, you awful thing!" punctuated by giggles? Did anybody ever call you up when you were boning for a quiz, and talk your arm off for half an hour, while you leaned against the wall in helpless misery?
If you can answer in the affirmative, this is not for you. Having suffered, you are not likely to offend. But oh, you Marathon talkers! If your business requires a twenty-minute interview, please don't transact it over the phone. If you live on a party line, remember that the other folks need to use the phone occasionally. If you have a comfortable chair by your telephone table, remember that some of your friends have to stand up and hold the receiver an indefinite time by main strength and awkwardness. Have a heart!
AN ANALOGY
A recent law passed in Massachusetts prohibits the display of red flags or banners. This has unintentionally stopped the using of Harvard's crimson banners and pennants at all football games and in all the parades.
Instead of defying the law and using the colors, as many wished to do, the student leaders have carefully seen to it that the law is complied with. It is considered that in showing this kind of a spirit that the next legislature will be much quicker in taking action either to repeal the present law or to place in it an exemption for the benefit of Harvard.
This attitude on the part of the Harvard students in a difficult situation is a very commendable one and will work for the glory of Harvard.
A REAL LECTURER
Women of the University and of Lawrence who heard Dr. Mabel Ulrich's lectures on "Social Morality" were fortunate indeed. The subject is a most difficult one, and Doctor Ulrich handled it with dignity, simplicity and directness. Although scientific, her lecture was not so technical as to be difficult of comprehension, nor was it sentimental and fatuous, as talks on such topics are all too apt to be.
Faculty women of other universities where Doctor Ulrich has appeared testify to the wholesome interest and constructive value of her lectures, and to the enthusiasm with which her work has been received by both faculty and students.
FAIR PLAY TOWARD GERMAN'
"Fair play for Germany and Austria-Hungary is the slogan of "The Fatherland," a weekly published in New York in the interest of Germany, now coming to the journalism library. In a front page article, "The Fatherland" says this "To the Civilized World:"
"We protest to the civilized world against the lies and calumnies with which our enemies are endeavoring to stain the honor of Germany in her hard struggles for existence—in a struggle which has been forced upon her.
"We cannot wrest" the poisonous weapon—the lie—out of the hands of our enemies. The all we can do is to proclaim to all the world, that our enemies are giving false witness against us. You, who know us, who with us have protected the most holy possessions of man, we call to you:
"Have faith in us! Believe, that we shall carry on this war to the end as a civilized nation, to whom the legacy of a Goethe, a Beethoven, and a Kant, is just as sacred as its own hearths and homes."
The Point System
The so-called point system, which has been employed at several universities for four or five years, is a plan devised to limit the number of offices in student organizations which one must be present to secure a broader and more equitable distribution of honors. Without such a system, it is only too common for a few persons to be prominent in everything—not necessarily because they are unduly ambitious, but because the busiest people are always the ones who need to work hard and when a person becomes well known and has a reputation for capability and efficiency, it is natural for every new organization to make such a person an officer. This is unjust to the few people who hold all the offices, to the many who might aid them, to the many who support those officers have multiplicity of interests. Hence the point system.
Under the point system, when a student has held so many honors, he is automatically excluded from any more, and it is up to the organization to dig up fresh material from their membership. This encourages many different persons who would question, be content; or at least畏缝, in allowing a few of their brilliant classmates to be the leaders in everything. The system is a democratic innovation, and should work for the benefit of all.
As worked out in western universities, the general plan is something like this: Each class is limited to a certain number of points. For instance, no senior shall be allowed more than fifty points, no junior more than seventy five points. The office has a fixed number of points credited to it, and all offices and honors are grouped in such classifications as councils and governing boards, publications, associations and clubs, and miscellaneous, which includes such things as debating teams, leadership training, and leadership. Of course every university has its own classification and determines its own scale of honors.
Drake Women Publish Booklet
The women of the Y. W. C. A. m Drake University are getting out a little booklet containing the pictures of the yells and songs. The booklet will also contain the scores of the football games played so far this year.
Girls also like the exciting incidents of adventure but confine their reading more closely to the popular novel though they are fond of the old fashioned books such as "The Arabian Nights' Tales." They read in a large measure the same books as the boys.
Chief among the adventure books read by the boys were the Alger and Optic series. Others were the "Price of the Prairie," "The Three Prisoners," "Lion and the Mouse," "David Copperfield," "Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come," and "A Certain Rich Man."
Q—Who calls other persons "Grinds?"
A. —A person who has the unusual but highly laudable habit of having his lessons every day.
Our Daily Quiz
What kind of books did you prefer when you were a child? Did you bury yourself in tales of adventure or were you more fond of popular novels and educational books? A committee working under the direction of Prof. F. W. Blackmar, head of the department of sociology, found that the largest per cent of books read by children in Lawrence under the age of fourteen years were books of adventure for boys.
Q. —What is a grind?
A.—Any dog-in-the-manger who is too lazy to study but hates to see anyone else get the credit for it.
Q—Do most professors like
A.—Yes they are about the only

A. —Moses—anyway he was an awfully precocious child (you remember he cursed the day he was born).
Q. —Are University professors ever grinds?
A.—No. The average grind would die of stagnation in such a position.
Q.—Is it considered good form to be a grind at K. U.?
Q——When a grind least noticed?
A. Oh that's too easy—just before

A PROFESSOR AND HIS CLOTHES
LINES ON A PROFESSOR
It is really funny, sometimes, when I think of the way I manage my clothes. Only a few days ago one of the other professors apologized to me for the appearance of having troubles, too, poor man), and intimated that my clothing looked very neat and new. Well, at that particular time, I did have on the best suit I own, but I have worn it three winters, and there was a hole at the bottom of one trouser leg, where I had put an invisible badly. My wife has darned that hole now, and let me say, just that she is very efficient in darning and cleaning my clothes. I wonder how many of the readers know that men's clothing can be washed? Last winter my wife fished an old suit of mine out of the rags and decided to wear it. Then I worn this suit in a chemical laboratory for a year and the acid had eaten it full of holes. I had caught the coat on a barbed-wire fence and torn it badly, and I had spilled some paint on it. She washed this suit in a tub with warm water and Ivory soap, dried it, darned the many, dried it again, and pressed it nicely and put it on it and wore it—and everybody admired my new suit—Raymond Dollany, in the November Atlantic.
When a man has taught school twenty years, by all means he should look like a school teacher. In fact, I have heard that after one has taught three years, the stamp of the profession is on him for life. But Professor ___ is an exception to the rule Although different characters which this worthy man suggests at different times, range from the tramp to the king of the land, he never once takes his school shoes. He walks down the street with a swaggering stride like the town "neer-do-well"; he performs a gallant duty as Sir Walter himself would have done it; on Sunday morning he announces the hymns like an earnest young minister; he pitches the baseball games like a "professional"; he leads the students to class like the Captain of Regiment A on parade in class; he pravisions and artisys prowice and raves and tears around like a pretty young prince; and after class, as a penitent backsider he apoiizes wards in his eyes. Yet this man has been a successful school teacher for twenty years!
