The greatest advantage I know of being thought a wit by the world is, that it gives one the greatest freedom of playing the fool—Alexander Pope.
STUDENTS WILL "CHIP IN"
We can not too strongly urge upon professors and instructors the desirability of attending on Thursday and Friday the meeting of the State Teachers' Association in Topeka. The student body unites with Chancellor Strong in saying that it is of great importance that the University be largely represented at the association.
University or be a Chancellor has met with such hearty approval among the students of the College as that giving permission to the teachers in the College to dismiss classes and attend the meeting in Topeka.
It is unnecessary to mention the benefits to be derived from the comparing of ideas with other members of the great profession of teaching. There is hardly an instructor in the College who thinks so much of his method of teaching that he will not admit there is room for improvement. Such improvement may be gained at the teachers' conference. We can see no reason why every class should not look in vain for its instructor Thursday.
We hope that no serious handicap to the cause of international peace will result from the failure of Langdon Davies of London to speak in chapel Tuesday.
II PENSEROSO.
The appearance of the history reference room at the library has been greatly improved by the addition of fifty beautifully bound books printed in Italian. For decorative purposes it occurs to us that Japanese lanterns and autumn leaves would have been more effective and considerably cheaper.
Or, if the Italian atmosphere were desired, sprays of spaghetti and bunches of bananas might have been used.
RESOLVED. THAT
"Only high class films will be shown" at the theaters when the Y. M. C. A. has charge tomorrow night. We infer that on other nights the films will be lowered to our level.
A society for the simplification and furtherance or comprehensibility of resolutions to debate has a great field in which to labor. When such subjects as "Resolved, That the several states should adopt a unicameral form of legislature," are chosen for inter-collegiate debate, is it any wonder that the laymen evinces little interest?
ATTENTION, THEOLOGIANS.
Out feature editor has again unearthed the told topic "The religious value of the study of botany." Assurances from the professors in the biology department that there is no doubt as to the religious value thereof will now quiet the popular clamor for information on this subject.
subject.
Prospective theology students are urged to enroll in courses 52 and 58, Taxonomy of Phanerogams, and Special Morphology of Bryophytes and Pteriodophytes.
We are more easily persuaded, in general, by the reasons we ourselves discover, than by those which have been suggested to us by others—Pascal.
ENTITLED TO 95 IN TABLE MANNERS
E. E. Kelley of the Toronto Republican, who delivered an address at the University of Kansas last week, writes; "The Missus wishes to know if we made any table breaks at the Greek letter fraternity luncheon. You see, several years ago we were invited to a tea where the writer happened to be about the only man at the table. We got interested in conversation as well as the actuals, and in the course of about five minutes had forks at our plate. We kept every Missus that came to us in a dish. It mortified the Missus awfully and she has never quite gotten over it. We only made one break at the luncheon. We were busy talking and all at once we noticed the fellows folding napkins. Our napkin seemed some way to have crawled under our plate and spread itself out there. We slid it gently from under the plate, folded it beside our plate, and what was our surprise on rising, to find our napkin had been on our lap all the time!"—Kansas City Star.
God bless the man with an idea. It may be visionary but it starts something. That's its glorification—Personality.
COMMUNICATIONS
One of your correspondents suggests that everybody "Ask Dean Templin" why "Kicker" was not permitted to carry nineteen hours although he was abundantly able to do so. It is a pleasure to answer by saying that one of the oldest and most rigidly observed regulations of the College faculty provides a maximum limit of eighteen hours for all students, whatever may be their ability or ambition. I may add that there is probably not an institution having the rank of the University of Kansas in which a college student would be admitted to more than eighteen hours. Olin Templin.

Daily Kansan:
THESE AUTUMN DAYS ARE FOR USE
Now and then one of us stirred by the wanderlust which is in the air just now, seeks out a friend buried in his books and suggests, "Let's go up the river today," or some other alluring pastime. The friend shakes his head in dismay at the proposition in the face of the work piled at his elbow. So he works on and his face sours as he works until at length he gives up in disgust.
Meanwhile his friend has opened his ears to the insistent call of the out of doors and the demands of the pen and note book go unheeded. So he, in turn, plays on, and his face is flushed with the joy of living.
There are two ways of doing good work* but there is only one best way of being satisfied when the task is done. You can't give too much for your satisfaction and still be happy. Some of us as students become slaves to our books. Long ago it was proved that a free man is worth a chain of slaves. Be free. Get out and enjoy some part of the days that are left to this wonderful season. Take up athletics or just go out with Her. She will enjoy it too, and in the long run a better and more successful school year will be your reward for taking time out for Living—Drake Delphic.

THE SMOOTHEST TOBACCO
In a debate, there is no evading the issue. Does your smoking tobacco bite or doesn't it? Velvet is aged 2 years—which eliminates the leaf harshness and mellows and tones the richness. Produces a fine flavor and a smoothness that smokers appreciate above all else.
Gentlemen—there is only one side to this smoke question—that's the smooth side—"Velvet." Ask for Velvet at your dealers.
