FIRST CALL FOR QUIZ WEEK Only twelve days more!
In times past quiz week has been a serious time for seniors, since it often brings results that keep some of the mighty ones from obtaining degrees. Likewise, it is the time of year ...en spring fever gives way to "sore eyes" and an "urgent summons home" on the part of a number of freshmen; and, of course, is bargain week for the Hon. Alleg. Com.
Yet the coming quiz week should not be so bad after all, this year. The new schedule commands admiration for the way the quizzes are arranged—in chronological order, instead of holding some 8 o'clock quiz on the last Friday. And then—does not quiz week imply a change of professorial menu?
"Flunker's Harvest Begins January 31."—Kansas head. "O, what shall the harvest be?"
DESERVES A MILL TAX
The Harvard student who is dancing his way to a college diploma by giving tango lessons would starve to death at Kansas.
Of how many universities can that honestly be said?
DESEVERES M AIL TAX
"The people of Kansas have come to think that if they need help in any line whatsoever, the University and other state schools can supply it—and they do," said Mrs. Cora G. Lewis before the Woodrow Wilson club last week.
Fifteen thousand students from every county in Kansas receive direct aid from the University through its lectures, package libraries, municipal reference bureau, lantern slides, and state service work; cities of the state bring their problems to the University and receive skilled help; even the mighty Santa Fe seeks its engineers.
And the University gives all this on an allowance of $157 per student as against $225 of many other schools of the same rank. Surely the University deserves to have a mill tax.
The seniors of the University of Illinois must swim a certain distance this semester or fail to be graduated. Looks like a soaking either way.
Because the Humane Society objected Wisconsin has abolished pig chasing between the halves of football games.-News Item.
At Kansas the freshman is the pig and no humane society could save his bacon.
"A Wisconsin man left $40,000 to a woman who jilted him." And there are doubtless many married men who would give $40,000 now if they had been jilted.
SPRING FEVER
Impossible in January, you say? Not so. Philosophers tell us that nothing is impossible—especially in Kansas—and it wouldn't take a philosopher to diagnose the insidious visitation that has crept upon us unawares during the last few days.
You know the symptoms—a pleasurable languor, an irresistible inclination to loiter, an unreasoning contentment, and a total inability to feel duly concerned over the imminence of quiz week and all that must be done between then and now.
What if all your professors are piling up mountains on mountains of work for you to do? Suppose you do have a quiz the first thing in the morning for which you are totally unprepared? What if your check hasn't come and the laundry grafter is hot on your trail? The sky is blue and the air is warm; you can almost hear the grass grow under your feet as you idle along, and you can't worry to save your life.
You know quite well that all this loveliness is a delusion and a snare, that there will be two or three months of winter before spring really comes, and that you are eternally lost if you don't get right to work on that term paper. And yet you're as happy as a clam—and as energetic.
Tomorrow it may be snowing, and then you will remember your responsibilities, and kick yourself for being so lazy and worthless, but today the sun shines and the breezes are balmy, and it takes all your energy just to draw your breath.
Ah, Spring Fever, how many
things are left undone in the yh name!
A man named Cake addressed the Missouri School of Journalism last week. Wonder if he was of the home economics department brand.
ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL PROM In every school the Junior Prom is the most important social event of the year, and stands out in the traditions of the school as probably the most romantic. Old Grads remember it with great pleasure; new students look forward to it.
The date of this year's Prom from just been announced. While at many other schools a week is often devoted to such festivities, at Kansas but one night is given. For this reason all the more should be done to make this year's Prom a memorable and delightful social gathering of real college students.
DEPENDS ON THE MAN
"Whoever says that a college education is not worth what it costs makes an extreme statement which cannot be moved in every instance. "College is like a good many other things in this world, but none is it worth. It ruins some young men and greatly helps others. All depends on the man."
"Many have succeeded brilliantly in the most exacting lines of life work without the benefits of it."—L H. Jones, in Silver and Gold.

MOTHERHOOD
You were hidden in my heart as its desire, my darling.
"You were the dolls of my childhood's games; and when with clay I made the image of my god every morning I made and unmade you the doll."
You were enshinned with our household in His worship I wore garments.
"In all my hopes and my loves, in your life, in the life of my mother, you
"In the lap of the deathless spirit who rules over home you have been given."
When in girlhood my heart was opening its petals, you hovered as if to take the wind away.
Your tender softness bloomed in my youthful limbs like a glow in the dark.
"Heaven's first darling, twin-born with the morning light, you have floated down the stream of the world's life, and as last you have
"For fear of losing you I hold you tight to my breast. What magic has snared the world's treasure in these slender arms of mine?"
"As I gaze on your face, mystery
who belong to all have become mine."
SO ARE WE
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
All in favor of decretly intertwining
this whole dance business, say "aye."
Theaves have it.
CAMPUS OPINION
The word "tango" makes specks float before my eyes. It gives me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach, something thinkin' to sea.
For the love of Mike give us a breathing spell.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
References have several times been made to the fact that members of the faculty do not attend chapel in large numbers, the inference be- deds is that in excuse for students not attending.
"Sick and Disgusted."
There are several reasons why this idea is quite wrong. In the first place, the students do not follow the example set by the faculty in way any more than in any thing and that is not the reason they stay away.
Facultatus.
Moreover no one should go to chapel or fail to go because someone else goes or stays away. The real point is this, that the faculty has already had and will continue to have the opportunity to hear many good speakers while many of them will not. The years here give students their only opportunity and they should take advantage of it now.
If there is anyone who thinks seriously that lack of attendance on the part of the instructors means that these things are not worth while for students he should know. Whether we consider chapel a religious exercise or not—which most at present do not—or as an opportunity to get broader and more intelligent ideas from people who have had larger expertions we should not set our standards according to what some one else does.
He had been on probation for the bird time
Of course we realize that the students have only been trying to distract attention from their own shortcomings but a little thought will show that this attitude is wrong and I protest against it.
