DUMBBELLS FOR THE PROFES- SOR
An editor spoke in Kansas City last week on the subject of "The Value of Play," and in the course of his address remarked, "I know college professors who now play at things we would have called frivolous twenty-five years ago."
Many professors at the University own up to playing handball, tennis, and even golf, while their students look on with grins and helpful exclamations. But in the long run students are benefited by such professional exercise; the instructor is able to conduct his classes better, the student finds things interesting all the hour, and better social relations between faculty and students are created.
Well, why should not college professors take some form of muscular excitement besides "bathroom exercises?" A professor who sits for several hours at a time listening to the daily grind of recitations certainly needs a good hour's workout in the gymnasium.
Why not a guardian or a dean of men for the students who threw stones at Santa Fe insulators?
Was is intentional that prayer service in chapel came so near to quiz week?
WANTED—A NEW SCHEME The controversy over week-night dates will be placed for final settlement with those most affected at a mass meeting early in February. And, no doubt, an interesting campaign will be waged between now and then by those who favor existing regulations, and those who wish to lighten the alleged bonds.
Perhaps the week-night date rule as enforced is worse than nothing but originally it had good cause to exist, and has yet, if adapted to present conditions. Those who wish to destroy it should not be content with merely abolishing it, but should suggest a scheme to take its place and lead in enforcing such.
Blessed are the pace-makers, for they make college styles interesting.
EACH ONE HIS OWN GUIDE Now that quiz week looms up in the foreground, how about the movement for an honor sentiment? Although the question has been temporarily shelved as regards the entire University, there is no reason why each of us should not have his
own private little honor system; for
after all, matters involving questions
of honor and conscience are personal,
and must be settled by each one for himself.
Self respect should be too precious a thing to be bartered away for a more grade, or even to save a flunk. No one but you can injure your self respect, and on one but you can keep it intact. No one has yet improved on Polonius' words to his son:
"To thine own self be true;
And it must follow as the night the day.
man."
Thou canst not then be false to any man"
"Suggest Dropping Chapel on Tuesday."-Kansas head. The suggestion comes too late. "Everybody's doing it now."
Oh wnd some power the giftie gie us
To see ourselves tango as others see us.
WRITING HOME
An observer standing near a Massachusetts street mail box last Sunday night was surprised to see the steady procession of students who were mailing letters. For the first time he realized the amount of mail which must daily go out from University students.
Yet the probability is that the majority of students are not sending weekly letters home. Too many have the habit of writing only when they need checks.
Some may feel that they haven't the time to write, that the folks "sort of instinctively" know they are well and prospering; but such should not be the case. Students waste time enough each week to write a dozen letters; and even if they took time from some lessons to do so, could they put that fifteen minutes on anything else from which the results would be more gratifying?
HOW ONE GIRL WENT TO COLLEGE
A young girl who lived in Mississippi asked her brother to give her the money to go to college. He told her he could not afford it, and tossing her a nickel, added, "Unless you can go on that."
The plucky little girl took the five-cent piece and bought some calico, from which she made a bonnet that she sold for twenty-five cents. With this money she bought more calico and made more bonnets. After she had made several dollars in this way she determined to raise money. She did all the work in the field except the ploughing. The venture was a success, and she had enough money to start to school. She did not stop work, however, and it is not surprising that a girl of so much determination was able to borrow enough money to supplement what she made.

She was graduated with honor from the State College for Women, attended a medical school, still earning all her expenses, got her degree, and is now a successful practising physician in a large town in the south; and it all began with a nickel! Youth's Companion.
Don't be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It's the horse who finishes a neck ahead who wins the race.—Andrew Carnegie.
Faculty (hard one); a group of semi-fossilized beings located at seats of learning for the purpose of dispersing knowledge; those who have (but seldom use) reserved seats in chapel.
Freshmen (derived from fresh; synonym, awkward); something of a raw and green nature; the young sprouts on the tree of body in football rallies and papyrus demonstrations; purchasers of chapel tickets.
Fraser; a place where chapel used to be held.

The whole affair was so ridiculous that the sick man burst into peels of laughter, and the recovery of health—Eli Perkins on Health.
"No smoking shall be allowed in the University buildings or on the steps or approaches to the buildings. Smoking on grounds where women or visitors congregate is regarded with disfavor by the Board and it is the request of the Board of Administration the student refrain altogether from smoking on the grounds."
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
Now that the students are obeying (?) the tango rule why not turn our attention to smoking on the campus. Here is the order an issue with the Board of Administration last fall.
And yet the weed is burnt on the steps of Green Hall with unabated fervor. Deprived of their smoking room the aristocratic laws assemble there as did the Fourth century followers of Zeno and gave tobacco of all comers, cannot enough means be obtained to get these lovers of Lady Nicotine to refrain, at least in public, from their erotic courting?
CAMPUS OPINION
Laughter has often dissipated disease and preserved life by a sudden effort of nature. We are told that the great Erasmus laughed so heartily at a satirical rumark that he tumor and recovered his health.

Thus emboldened, he swallowed the whole, but found it such a nauseous poison that, after many strange and fantastic grimacres, he grinded his teeth in agony, and in a violent fury threw the goblet on the floor.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
That the University dances of today are a conglomerate mess of original ideas expressed by writting contortions of the body and writing pinyin less than trip is to be denied. And still, who doubts that the final outcome will be the formation of the "Happy Medium," a step which helps you afford more opportunities for graceful waltz, or two-step?
"EVIL TO HIM WHO EVIL THINK- ETH."
Smoking.
I believe that one member of the faculty should act as censor of University dances, but why should not this man be familiar, to a small degree at least, with his friend and teacher real purposes. Such an arbitrary one is the one above referred to shows a marked lack of knowledge in the terpsichorean art.
However, in the process of elimination and development let us be reasonable and logical. If it not the ease and elegance in manner, which may be expressed in a dance rather than the mere form, that should determine its real value, then domende a dance which causes it requires the young man to put both arms around the young lady is absurd and disables a peverted idea.

Joubert gives two similar instances. A patient being very low, the physician, who had ordered a dose of rubrumb, countermanded the medicine, which was left on the table.
