There's life alone in duty alone, and rest alone in striving...Whittier. KEEPING FOOTBALL AT HOME The decision of the governing board of the Missouri Valley Conference not to repeal the rule forbidding football games on other than college grounds looks like the end to any hopes of reviving the Kansas City game, so long as the Lawrence-Columbia arrangement continues as successful as it has been during its first three years. Missouri has had two games on her home grounds, and Kansas one. The stand against any change taken by Missouri is prophetic of what Kansas will probably do in case the matter ever should come up again. The question, for whom is college football in the Missouri Valley seems to be settled. FOR QUIZ WEEK Hint to students who desire to pull through in the coming quizzes: "The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden sept. Were toiling upward in the night.' —Longfellow. might, But they, while their companions Were not attained by sudden flight, Solomon had his problems and Job had his troubles, but neither of them ever took a final quiz. STUDENT COUNCIL'S CHANCE Again all eyes are on the Student Council awaiting its move on the dancing problem, in the solution of which the Council has a great chance to prove its worth. The Council's delay in enforcing the distasteful disciplinary authority so suddenly shoved into its surprised hands in order that the tango reception offenders be punished is not surprising. The Council evidently sees the inconsistency in punishing students for attending a tango exhibition when dances far more extreme are permitted at student parties. By immediately refusing to enforce an inconsistent disciplinary ruling, and then going ahead on its own hook and putting University dancing above any possible criticism, the Student Council may offer a good excuse for its existence Will it rise to the occasion? REVIVE DEMOSTHENES ET AL The need of organizing literary societies in the University, advanced by Professor Hill of the department of public speaking, deserves serious consideration. The absence of such organizations has been felt by almost every student coming here in the last few years. All over Kansas literary societies are to be found meeting in school houses, halls and even private homes during the winter months. Young people coming from these communities necessarily miss the literary society when they reach the University. Such societies would undoubtedly find immediate and hearty acceptance on Mt. Oread. They afford a type of social life to be found in almost no other University organization. They have been prominent in years past, why should they not be brought to life again? When it comes to elasticity the Tango and Mid-week date rules have the common ten cents per yard brand of "stretch" beaten to a frazze. "Taft Has Thirty-six Pairs of Pants Remodeled." And the average stude has to go to bed when he gets one pair fixed up. Rah for Socialism. The disinclination of the Student Council to discipline the tango offenders suggests that the council likes the sidestep as well as the one-step. The Hawk dramatic club has promised the students a "bird of a show." "Flunkers Harvest Begins January 31."—Newspaper heading. This does not necessarily mean that grades are bound to be cut. Football may be rude and dangerous sport but as a college diversion it has one thing in its favor. During the football season the students have no time to devote to the tango which now appears to be the principal subject of discussion in Lawrence and eductions seats of learning - Salma Union. For twenty years F. W. Blackman has been on the pay roll of the University of Kansas. He is a big brained, scholarly, vigorous man and educator. He is an author of note on economic questions. He probably has given value to many people as well as he has all along been capable of rendering a very much greater public service than has been exacted of him. FOOTBALL VS. TANGO Blackmar, on invitation of Governor Hodges, has just investigated conditions at the state penitentiary. He has made a report that is exhaustive. The governor is so well pleased with it that he will recommend to the legislature activity along the lines laid down in this report. In consequence, the probabilities are that evils that have existed for years will be eliminated and this penal institution will be brought to a standard worthy of Kansas civilization in other respects. USING OUR EXPERTS Isn't it strange that former Kansas governors have not thought to make such use of the state's experts? - Hutchinson Gazette.

"A COLLEGE JOKE TO CURE THE DUMPS" Some people with great merits are very disgusting, others with great faults are pleasing.—La Rochefoucauld. "Tell me, Pat, is it sure that they hurried old Mike to his grave?" "Well, he arrived there in a breathless condition." -Peglican. The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up—Hazlitt. —Swift, Cassinus and Peter Customer—I think this meat is spoiled. A generous friendship no cold medium knows, THE NEAR EAST (As seen by W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson.) medium knows Burns with one love, with one Captain—I say, General, let's call off the battle today and have a double header tomorrow—Harvard Lampoon. Meat Market Proprietor—Perhaps so, Muum, but that meat came from a prize lamb and it may have been petted too much—Pelican. "My dear boy, I wouldn't take it as a gift." - Pelican. The modern auto gets along without any crank. Why can't the world do the same? - Gargoyle. "Doctor, will you please give me something for my head?" "That's where I shine," said the student as he showed his blue serge suit to the pantatitorium. -Awgwan. What made you laugh so uproar- iously at that bum joke the Prof. pulled in class the other day? Those colleges must be pretty dern extravagant. Ora writes that he has to wear a fresh cap every day. -Gargoyle. I owe him three papers.—Awgwar in the evening our party from the ship wanted to do something exciting. We hired a guide and told him to show us Algiers by electric light. He marched us up and down several streets and into a moving-picture show. The first film was one of those thrilling melodramas of the Americas can cowboy, the sheriff, the final triumph of innocence with matrimony. That was the best Algiers could do for us in the way of devilishness, so we went to the city square and heard a good French military band. An Arab woman is dressed in proper fashion when she winds a sheet of soft white goods around herself and puts on a veil which covers her face up to her eyes. The gown culminates in some way as a turban and on a man can be a ghostlike figure with two bright eyes. I was naturally interested, because the costume was different from that which is worn at home, except at an early morning fire. At first I refrained from curious faces for fear I might offend ladies, but I took to look at them and she did not seem to mind. I looked at her and she looked at me. I imagined I saw the beginnings of a lady-like Arabian wink. Just to be polite I would have winked once myself, but I saw a half-dozen male Arabs or serving the situation, and possibly decided that not in good interest for an American at such a time. So I never will know whether that Arabess was a winker or a deceiver, but I am alive and well, which is some satisfaction. This is the road to the East, the land of dreams and memories. Before we meet the Serb and the Bulgar we are visiting with the ancient Greeks and Romans by the aid of the moonlight and the waters. From The English Department Prof.—What is a category? This is no place for a young man or young woman to come who is afraid of sentiment. A moonlight night on the Mediterranean would extract affection from a statue. The age limit would need to be high—higher than I have heard of. A bachelor on the Franz Joseph who could not get on the list for the maids was found holding his own hands, with an eastatic expression in his eyes, thinking of one far away—personally his sister. No wonder old Greek gods and goddesses were cut up when they played around the Grecian archipelago on a moonlight night. Freshman—It is a little room on the fourth floor where the pre-medics keep their cats—Indiana Student. From Utopia—"P-s-t, p-s-t, the landlady has got the headache."—Gargoyle. resentment glows. Pone.
