THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1914
There never was a bad man that had ability for good service—Burke.
"TWO-BITS A THROW"
Save-a-quarter chapel.
That is what the students mass meeting at eleven o'clock tomorrow amounts to.
Yesterday the Student Council had five hundred signers. Thirty petitions have been circulated with more or less energy since that time—so the necessary six hundred names are practically assured.
But—if eight hundred men are interested the fee will be 75 cents, not one dollar. And every man who helps convince those three hundred is putting a quarter in his own pocket.
It is advantageous to the big Union idea to save the quarter because three hundred more men will get the benefits of the Union and will be ready to push the permanent Union when the time comes.
Honor societies, organizations of all kinds, engineers, laws, medics, pharmacies, collegians—everybody ought to be in Fraser tomorrow, or elbow up as close to the door as the crowd will permit.
The talks will present new ideas, one of which may astonish the heartiest Union booster on the hill by its seeming radicalism.
Try to be early enough to get a seat Save a quarter.
The new football rule barring coaches from the side lines may be sufficient in some cases but we move that Jumbe Stiehm he locked on the county jail.
A "HIC JACET" FOR SENIORS
Financially, the success of the Jay-hawker seems to be assured. With this matter out of the way, the seniors have the memorial question to settle.
An expensive memorial is out of the question now at the eleventh hour, but the officers, or some member of the class ought to think of a scheme to make the graduates of 1914 long remembered at the University in a way which does not involve a prohibitive fee.
The juniors and sophomores have already started their memorial funds, and even the freshmen are talking about the matter.
The seniors have a golden opportunity to lead a long list of classes with memorials on Mount Oread; but they will have to step lively.
By the way, what sort of a seismograph record did we get when the tango first hit Lawrence?
BIGNESS AND ENTHUSIASM
So the College, the oldest school in the University, and the one from which most of the others have sprung, not only leads in the number of students enrolled, but is far ahead of the rest of them in the matter of growth for the past few years. Standing sixth in numbers it is
indeed prominent among the colleges of the country.
At last this school, furthermore, has raised enough enthusiasm to carry through the College Day idea, if the committee recommendation is adopted by the University Council at its next meeting. This "day" ought to foster a school spirit which has been lacking in the past.
Enthusiasm is not always commensurate with Bigness but if a big school really becomes imbued with enthusiasm it ought to start things worth while.
If there is anything that makes a person desire corporal punishment in Kansas it is when somebody calls him "hid" or yells "ishkabibble" in his ears.
THE LANDLADY
Consider the landlady. We are often inclined to believe that she must be a millionaire or a miser. She forgets to make up the beds in the mornings, particularly when company comes; sometimes she sweeps the dust under the dresser and we blame her for that; and it seems as though we are continually giving her money.
But remember the time she hunted up some tooth-ache gum when that molar commenced to hurt, or how she extolled your good qualities when your parents visited Lawrence last fall? And yet you crack jokes at her expense, and kick the register when the Kansas Natural runs low, and walk into your room with your shoes covered with mud and audibly wonder why floors are never swept in this township.
The landlady is human and you shouldn't forget it.
A "PROBLEM" WE MISS
One of the great cards of the booze boosters is the bluff of joviality—"be sport," "good fellow," and so or this false atmosphere flourishes especially at colleges. But for some year Princeton has been publishing figure showing the average age of students a entrance to be 18.7 years. For eve more years the State of New Jersey has become an island to minors. The dean recently put two and two together and stopped the great part of the local liquor traffic. H is supported by college opinion, an class dinners henceforth will be "dry. Can't other universities tackle the sam "problem in the same way?" -Colliers
ENDS AND ODDLETS
"A Connecticut laborer lived on bread and onions and saved $10,000." —News note. If that report is true there are going to be a great number of wealthy citizens in Lawrence before long.

REPARTEE
I met an aged gentleman
Whose locks were like the snow
He raised himself up Adams street
With feeble steps and slow.
I threw a double somersault
And stood upon my ear
The aged man did question me
In words I loathed to hear.
A New Jersey man left $500 in his will to recompense his son for a long forgotten spanking. If the average student could collect at that rate hundreds of Kansas farmers would go into bankruptcy.
"Grinnell Takes Lucky Game From Drake Five. Score 31 to 9."—Drake Daily Delphic. It certainly was exasperating.
"Good youth, why do you thus delight?"
With the temperature two degrees below zero a Pennsylvania man was overcome by heat. Perhaps an egg was served to him for breakfast.
"Mistake Incubator For Mail Box." Drake Daily Delphic head. We stand ready to wager that an incubator would not add to the warmth of some of the letters which are sent from K. U, just before the first of the month.
To drape your manly frame
Upon the cold and ice bricks.
'T will be your death, for shame.
Pray spare a moment of your time.

EACH IN HIS OWN TONGUE
By
William Herbert Carruth, '08
Formerly
A boy and a woman.
And caves where the care men dwell,
Then a sense of law and beauty.
And a face turned for the shed.
A crystal and a cell. A jelly-fish and a saurian.
hen a sense of mel
And a face turned from the elod,
ome call it Evolution,
and others call it God.
Base on the far horizon,
The infinite, tender sky,
The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields,
And the wild geese sailing high;
All and all upland and bowland
The charm of the golden-rod,-
Some of us call it Autumn,
And others call it God.
Like tides on the crescent sea-beach
When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high yearnings
Come welling and surging in:
Come from the mystic ocean
Whimose rim no foot has trod,—
Some of us call it Longing,
And others call it God.
A picket frozen on duty,
A mother starred for her brood,
Socrates drinking the hemlock,
And Jesus on the rood;
And millions who, humble and nameless
The straight, hard pathway plod,
Some call it Consecration,
And others call it God.
THE COLLEGE WISEACRES
It is amusing to hear the remarks of wisdom that fall from the lips of the wisecreas, who are walking the campus, unappreciated. To them the matters of the administrative policy of the college are mere notions, that might be settled in a moment if the persons in charge would only call upon their vast funds of knowledge. One can hear them almost every day standing in the halls of the buildings telling any listener that will stop, of the actual simplicity of enforcing a semester fee, and of the childishness of those that are at present trying to persuade the student body that there are difficulties in its way.
These are the persons that in the cross roads grocery stores, settle the questions that are puzzling the national government. It can be said that these country gossippers are harmless, but so little importance can hardly be attached to those that are in the college. It is this element that is stirring up public opinion of the rabid,狂人 kind that causes confusion and strike. It is they who are continually distressing the way matters are going that are in the minds of those who are many times more competent to carry them on. To hear one of these students talk makes a sure man smile, for all his statements bear the unmistakable trademark of the mature judgment of a three year old child. I - S. C. Student.
