Considering the fact that "what Christmas means to most of us" is about like this: U. ELITE A week to prepare for Christmas, and a week to recover from it; two weeks of good home cooking and late rising; time for a K. U. banquet and a Rock Chalk; a sudden realization of our own importance, or perhaps, just the opposite; a round of boresome "parties"; longing for the day when resumption is over and school work will be resumed: CHRISTMAS VOCATIONS FOR K. U. ELITE Here's hoping you all pull through and get back safely. A DEAN OF WOMEN Feeding cattle. Washing dishes. Running a grocery wagon. Clerking in a 10-cent store. Milking cows. For many years the matter of having such an office has been discussed by the faculty and friends of the University because of the feeling that there is a place here for someone with the sole duty of looking after the interests of our eight or nine hundred women students. In its action last week concerning the appointment of a dean of women for this University, the Board of Administration took a step toward filling a long-felt want. At present all this work is being more or less effectively handled by the Y. W. C. A., the W. S. G. A., and some of the faculty women. While each of these groups certainly does a great deal of good, none of them is in a position to give the girls' welfare undivided attention. A dean of women will do this. The security girls have house mothers, the dormitories (when we get them) will be presided over by matrons, but the majority of women students are thrown pretty largely on their own resources. In many matters except for the uncertain and variable good offices of the landladies. certainly the question of a dean of women has raised at the University that the idea has been created at a great many schools, and there can be no doubt whatever that the idea is a good one. By all means let us have a dean of women. 19dftr SIMMING COMING The basketball season commences shortly after the holidays, and from all indications the University will decidedly be in the running for first honors this winter. With six "K" matching for places the students have a right to expect some exciting games. This is not intended to work anyone into a state of over-confidence, but with, such a line-up and with the leadership of "Lefty" Sproull and Coach Hamilton, we wish to change the order of things by predicting some victories this year in basketball other than "moral" victories. Heard on the campus: "Did you see how those conceived laws formed the spillway out of the door of Fraser in the movin' picture?" ARE YOU WORTH IT? To Freshmen: Friday you go home to see "Dad" and "Mom" for the first time since you "went off to college," unless you managed to slip away at Thanksgiving time. The moment you step off the train you'll know Dad and Mom are mighty glad to see you. Mom will look at her big son or her handsome daughter with all the pride and affection there is showing on her face, and Dad will be just as glad to see you, though he may not show it. A blind man could see they think there is nothing quite like you. OUR CHRISTMAS GIFT Have you done what you should at the University to deserve this pride and hope? Have you really made as much progress as your letters home would indicate? Take stock of yourself, and see if you have been living up to what your father and mother think you are doing. The Daily Kansan has received its first Christmas gift in the form of an "autograph" copy of W. Y. Morgan's new book, "The Near East." The irreverent humor and charming modesty Mr. Morgan uses throughout the book combine to assure him a full vote from the of-age members of the Board when he runs for governor. Thank You "Billy" Morgan. Battering Her Baby Mother will never like football until the players quit making a battering ram of the boy she used to sing to sleep.—Toledo Blade. An Unknown Tongue A young man just returned from college was out cycling one day when suddenly he came to a steep gradient. While he was descending he lost control of his machine and was thrown. Two men came and found him lying in that predicament. When asked how it happened, he replied, "Well, I came down that decline with the greatest velocity and lost my central gravity and was precipitated on the hard macadamized road." "Away, lad, let him alone," replied one of the men. "He's a foreigner."—Ideas. OUR DAILY QUIZ Use honor system and grade yourself CHRISTMAS A. It is that time of the year when generosity is a drug on the market and gratitude can't be had at any reasonable price." A. The custom started when the first cave man bestowed on his neighbor the bone he himself didn't need, establishing a permanent relation. O. —What is Christmas? Q. —Who originated the idea of giving presents? A.—Hard quizzes from the pro- fessors; poor returns from the students. Q—What exchange of presents | made between students and profes- sors? Q. What is this first instance called in history? Q—Do many students cut classes day before and the Monday after? A—Freshmen are required to be the latest rule of the Student Council. A. —The first bonehead. Q. —What is the main student wish of the season? Q——Do students hang up their tacklings at Christmas? A—Hush! Silence! Maybe the profs won't call the roll. A. —A resolution from Dad to increase the allotment after January 1st. A. —No, but Mother said she would. Q—Have you told Dad what you wanted for Christmas? Q. —What is the student's favorite Christmas saying? A. "It is less expensive to receive than to give." CAMPUS OPINION NEW YORK SUN. October 11, 1913. THE KIND WE WANT In spite of this proverb cant I think 'will be agreed It is a friend in funds we want. And not a friend in need. NEW YORK SUN. Editor of the Daily Kansan: Some student with a “jes fore Christmas” desire for knowledge about the mysterious Santa Claus tore an article, "The Meaning of Christmas" by George A. Goodwin and December Atlantic Monthly is in the library. A deed of this nature is not childish, but is a case of vandalism and the guilty one should not rest with an easy conscience on his hands. Revenge. Editor of the Daily Kansan: Editor of the The recent holiday furnished another of that old custom been at the University that has been complained of since the beginning, towty; the practice of certain faculty members holding students responsible for work regardless of the holiday declared by the authorities. What is a holiday for anyway if it is a uranium time for relation and enjoyment? To the Editor of the Kansan: Wistful. to the one I would like to express, through the communication column of the Kansan, my most severe contempt for the student government in this University, as conducted this year. The last straw to breast abuse came from student government because the fare call system might date rule." Last week and other times, too numerous to mention, I have seen instances by the score of open violation of the rule and yet nothing was ever done about it. If the case were not properly filed, the institution knew about it, and they certainly did, they winked at it and it let the culprits go. Please don't think I am against student government, for there is no other institution in college life for which I have a higher regard than for a government of the students, by the students, and for the students. But I dislike to see the ideals for which student government has stood in this University trampled under foot and passed over lightly. The W. S. G. A. should enforce the "week night date rule" or openly acknowledge that it is a farce and cannot be enforced. C. C. C WHAT NOT TO GIVE To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: A proposition has been made to the Board of Administration to assist in building new skyscrapers. The proposed skyline drive would run down the main driveway of the campus. Aeroplane. Every student knows the nuisance already existing of having motorcycles, farm wagons, and automobiles running through the campus. If this proposed speedway is constructed, imagine the countless number of cutout friends and fast drivers who would be brought through the campus, disturbing classes and soopping the lives of students who throng across the campus each hour. Such a bedlam carverring through the campus at the pace which local motorists seem to prefer would not be likely to assist the concentration of the student or faculty member's mind.
