HOW?
FOR WHOM IS FOOTBALL, ANYONE.
The suggestion that the Oklahoma football game be played each year at Wichita is a fine one—for Wichita.
Why not, then, play the Aggie game at Topeka, the Nebraska game at St. Joseph, the Drake game at Leavenworth and the Washburn game at Lecompton?
Then, if the Missouri game is played at Kansas City, University students will need bother with only the unimportant practice games on the home grounds.
"Huerta went to a bullfight and Villa executed 300 federalis Sunday." —News note. The peace and quiet of a Mexican Sabbath must be something astounding.
START TONIGHT
Now that the tango artists have left town, tonight is a good time to start keeping out any other dances that may be objectionable, whatever their name.
Will the chaperons or those in charge enforce the ruling that "the tango and other suggestive dances of like nature...will be regarded as a matter of serious consideration from a disciplinary standpoint?"
The German lieutenant who ordered the arrest of a man because he suspected him of having laughed missed his calling; he should have been a college professor.
PAY UP
The three "days of grace" given signers of Jayhawker notes to meet their obligations should enable every senior to meet his annual dues before Monday without trouble.
Paying up for the book at once is not a mere matter of convenience; it is good business. Not only will it enable the management to make the book more nearly a finished product, but the success of this year's scheme, in which the notes play an important part, will mean much to coming annuals.
Pay up.
It appears that the only escape from the dozens of would-be cornetists on Ohio, Massachusetts and Louisiana streets is to procure one of those aereoplanes equipped with sleeping quarters and to do your dozing high up in the ozone.
The newspapers and magazines are full of plans and patterns for new and wonderful creations in the
line of dress for women and in the midst of all this glory is the humil-lating statement for the benefit of the male population that "galluses are coming back." It's tough, sometimes, to be a man.

DANCING
The world will dance. It always has danced. It always will. And so long as it does, it will dance the best dances on tap.
On with the dance.
Dancing is a gift of the gods. It sets the blood racing, drives away black care, exhilates body, mind, and spirit. It is the one sport that sets the sexes together on an equality of execution. This same team must apply just with shade of difference in responsibility that keeps the male primus inter pares.
The new dances, par excellence, give oxygen to the blood, vigor to the muscles, gayety to the spirits, refreshment to the mind. Already their early exuberance has squirmedward and baredyety, are torn squintly. They have received no fiercer denunciation than the waltz when it first appeared.
The simple truth of the matter is that the new dances are better than the old. Now we would not be quite so iconoclasm as to aver that anything could be better than a sensous, dream waltz, well written, well played, and well danced. But, take the things by and large, the dances of the new day are inmeasureably better than the dances of our youth
For this there are several reasons In the first place we have discovered a new dance rhythm. The good old waltz went one two three, four three, a perfect rhythmic of its kind—a perfect step—may it rest in kind—went one two, one two—a perfectly good rhythm as devoid of beauty as a bass drum. The one-step has reduced the rhythm to its lowest terms—one, one, one, one, one, one—a rhythm as fascinating as it is primitive. When the rhythm that rhymeed through the rhythm "Too Much Mustard," or any other tune of the moment, it cannot help but dance." The Independent.
Stop calling it Kansas University. Its name is the University of Kanaas.-Western 'School Journal.
Election; something that some students never attain; the goal of the seekers of Jayhawker honors; the popular vehicle by which a class may confer himself at the school and personal himself; an occasion on which the "barbs" are annually led to slaughter.

L'ENVOI
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it—lie down for an aon or anon
Till the Master of all Good Workmen
shall nut_us to work anew,
When the oldest colors have faded,
and the youngest critic has died,
The battle is to decide whether you shall become a New Yorker or turn the rankest outlander and Philistine. You must be one or the other. You cannot remain neutral. You must be for or against—lover or enemy—bosom friend or outcast. From The Duel, by O. Henry.
And those that were good shall be
happy they shall sit in a gold-
dust gown.
Your opponent is the City. You must do battle with it from the time the ferry-boat lands you on the island until either it is yours or it has conquered you. It is the same whether you have a million in your pocket or only the price of a week's lodging.
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comet's
They shall find real saints to draw from—Magdalene, Peter and John.
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!
They snail work and we never be tired at all!
And on the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of working, and
each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Things as he sees it
for the God of Things as they are!
CAMPUS OPINION
WANTS DANCING DEFINED Editor of the Daily Kansan:
I am a dancer. I was at the dance last Friday night and came away so disgusted that I refused a dance date for Saturday night. I know all of the new dances if I choose to dance them, but I chose to be one of the very few who danced the Boston on Friday evening.
-Rudyard Kipling.
I am not kicking against the chaperon of Friday night, nor against the one on Saturday night; I have heard the reports, but I like to ask a question in all fairness to the dancers and to the chaperons.
A Puzzled Girl Dancer
If a standard form of dancing in regard to position or steps is not made in the University, how is a dancing couple to know when they are stepping over the bounds of convention until a chaperon steps up? Also, if a standard is not made, how is a chaperon to know when he is stepping over his bounds as a chaperon in order to tell some person he must keep this or that position? One chaperon may know that the position or dance is not as he would do it, but does he dare to stop it? The next chaperon may know that the same as the first, and he does dare to stop it. The answer is—why did he dare to do more than the first chaperon? The dancers are violating no rule because there is no standard or rule. How does a dancer know? How does a chaperon know?
The best laid plans o' mice an men,
Gang aft agley,
And leau its nought but grief and
plain.
For promised joy.
But every man Jack when he first sets foot on the stones of Manhattan has got to fight. He has got to fight at once until either he or his adversary wins. There is no resting between rounds, for there are no rounds. It is sluggish from the first. It is a fight to the finish.
A Battle with New York City
Burns
LAKE WINNIPEG WITH NEW YORK CITY
The gods, lying beside their nectar on Lympus and peeping over the edge of the cliff, perceive a difference in cities. Although it seems to them the large vine town as apart from the small or small ant-hills without special characteristics, yet it is not so. Studying the habits of arts from so great a height should be but a mild diversion when coupled with the soft drink that mythology tells us is their only solace. But doubtless they have amused themselves by the comparison of villages and towns (nor, perhaps, to many mortals), that in one particular New York stands unique among the cities of the world.
New York City is inhabited by 4,000,000 mysterious strangers; thus beating Bird Centre by three millions and half a dozen nine's. They came here in various ways and for many reasons—Hendrik Hudson, the art schools, green goods, the stork, the annual dressmaker's convention, the Pennsylvania Railroad, love of money, the stage, cheap excursion rates, brains, personal column ads, heavy walking shoes, ambition, freight trains—all these have had a hand in making up the population.

AMUSEMENTS
We have been assured that Mr. Arthur Hammerstein's new comedy opera success, "The Firefly", is absolutely the first and only production that he has ever presented in this city.
"The Firefly" recently had a season's run at the Casino Theatre, New York City, and is booked to appear at the Bowersock on Saturday January 17, matinee and night with the bright shining star.
As "Tony," the little street gamin of this operetta, Miss Thayer, is given opportunity for the spontaneous expression of her frolics effervescence of spirit and she "bubbles over" captivatingly. She can not do as a sociologist nor a mournor a sheer but more pleaseas pleasing as a madcap. The lavish lingerie that betokens the frivoliously feminine would as ill become her as an artisticor langour. So she has been allotted a boy's part—a small boy whose chief stock in trade is in nimb wilde fashion—and Ms. Messier puts it into as much does he into his clothes. "The Firefly" will come to this city with a company of 60 and an augmented orchestra of twenty."Adv.
