We have seen women go sick on the McCook field bleachers from what smoking used to go on there; and certainly we have our opinion of any University girl who will permit (not an unheard of thing) a cigarette to be smoked in her presence. (Old fashioned, isn't it?) Add to this the fact that in schools of high standing such as Columbia University students are very seldom seen smoking on the steps of buildings, and perhaps it may justly be said that general smoking is selfish and objectionable if non-smokers are around, and no credit to a University in session.
Comradeship is one of the strongest forces in life-- Hugh Black.
The ruling concerning smoking which in addition requests that such be refrained from on the campus or near visitors or women students may sound like an infringement on the manly rights of some students to blow smoke in the faces of others, but it looks to us like a good suggestion.
SMOKING AROUND A UNIVERSITY
We have tried this business of smoking and have exhausted all its virile possibilities; yet, while we would not for a minute insist that those who like to smoke cease doing so, still we think there is a place for smoking, and that place is not in the immediate vicinity of a University.
We think the Board is dead right in its suggestion; if you must smoke, smoke where you won't affect anyone but your elf.

One thing worse than a quitter is the chap who is afraid to begin—Personality.
The visit of Mr. Langdon Davies to the University today brings as an echo from the powers that be in regard to peace, war, armament and other things pertaining to the gentle art of civilization.
THE PEACE MOVEMENT (?)
We can't settle the Peace Movement question just at this time, since this will be in cold type before Mr. Davies appears; but we are in sympathy with him if he is out gunning for the lawless element in the world's powers.
Kansas has no use for this war business. In her time she has had armed guards in her coal fields, and the sound of shots in the Colorado coal fields of late have been fairly audible; and our fathers and forefathers didn't hesitate to load up the old musket in '61.
But in Kansas we go to war in a different way now. We refer everything to the legislature, and let it be a war of words.
Seriously (for we can be serious) we think Mr. Davies is engaged in a worthy movement; and in view of the situation in the Balkans, Mexico, Colorado and other places, we hereby extend him our hearty support.

Some people are like low grade ore. They have gold in them, but it is so imbedded that it isn't worth the trouble of getting it out—Personality.
THE CLIMBER
When an army pack-mule is being loaded for an expedition, his eyes are covered and as great a burden is laashed on his back as he can carry.
It is among the latter type that we find the treasurer who never made out a check, the coillion leader who never attended a dance, and the manager who never could keep his own accounts straight—a condition that can be remedied only by the exercise of discrimination by those who have the power to give offices and by those who receive them—Yale News.
The only difference between this patient beast and a certain number of undergraduates is that the mule is blindfolded. Every man ought to know when his load is heavy enough, just as he should have the good sense to refuse an excessive one. Unfortunately, many forget that every election gained, every competition won, every appointment received means work in the future. To the man who picks and chooses among the positions open to him, comes an adequate heritage of interesting pursuits, which he has selected to suit his taste and ability. To the climber, the office-seeker or the thoughtless one, come unsuitable, uninteresting labor, late hours, and neglect of the curriculum.
None are so blind as those who believe anything they cannot see.—Personality.
Drifting with the tide is very likely to land you on the rocks.—Personality.

COMMUNICATIONS
CHICAGO'S HONOR SENTIMENT MOVEMENT Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Because the articles which have been appearing recently in the Kansan show a strong sentiment in favor of an honor system here, and because I had the opportunity of seeing the establishment of the Honor Sentiment Movement at the University of Chicago, I am taking the liberty of giving some of our experiences there in the hope that this may be of some help in inaugurating such a movement here.
The matter of cheating had been agitated for years, but no definite work was done until the year 1911-12. Then many things happened. The College paper took the matter up, having an honor sentiment box on the front page for weeks. There were mass meetings among the men and women. The Honor Sentiment Movement was organized.
At examination time those who had joined the Movement wrote in the front of their quiz books, "I affirm, on my honor, that I have not given or received help during this examination",
Of course, some who cheated would lie about it, but when they found that this did not add to their popularity, they stopped. Some, too, who would not have accepted help under any circumstances, thought it stingy not to give help. But they soon realized that it was a pretty low-down trick to help another to do something that they considered beneath them. Others, too, who would not cheat in examinations, had to learn that it was as much a violation of the honor system to "sponge" or to hand in other people's themes or padded term papers.
As to the punishment of the violation of the honor system, our strongest weapon was public sentiment, which, since the establishment of the Honor Sentiment Movement, had become very keen on this subject. They now have at Chicago, as at Wisconsin, a student court for trying cases of violation of the honor system. But their ideal is a public sentiment so strong that cheating will result, as in some of the Eastern colleges, in the social ostracism of the offender.
This may seem a far cry from the present conditions here, but Chicago with many of the same conditions, has practically cleaned the thing up in two years.

University Daily Kansan:
Ye Editor: May I air my troubles before the general court? After carrying nineteen hours work and showing creditably in the grades at the Dean's office I am told that I must cut down my work to sixteen hours. Is this fair to me? If I can carry a certain amount of work why shouldn't I be allowed to do so? I've shown in a third of a term that I am capable of turning in satisfactory work and can't understand why I should not have the privilege of continuing to do so. Can some one please explain? Kicker.
TALKING IN THE LIBRARY
Editor University Kansan:
Dear Sir: I wonder if a mere student would be allowed to say a word regarding the tendency toward talking in the library?
Ever go to the library in a hurry, with the knowledge that you would have to work every minute to get the assignment in time and then have a couple, or perhaps three talkative and enthusiastic K. U. co-eds sit down at the same table? First it will be a difficult lesson that has been assigned, then it will be the newest acquisition at the dance last night, or how perfectly lovely some girl friend is, or isn't.
Perhaps they will be absorbed for a few moments in diligent study, until one has a new inspiration after which another whispered consultation will be held, winding up perhaps with "I don't he a perfect dear?" By this time you have disgestuled taken yourself to the farthest corner of the room from the source of your troubles, and perhaps wasted many precious moments trying to keep your mind on the pages before you.
Why, oh, why, can't folks have a little consideration for other students in the library even if they themselves come there to enjoy each other's company?

Chantecute Tribune: "The monaca is becoming fashionable at the state university, according to a late news item. Think of it—the monaca—the badge of the empty pated, simmering, hair-tipped sclon of rotten European royalty, being worn at the Athens of Kansas by the sons of the patriots who carried muskets in the Pop rebellion of '93. Verily these are degenerate days and the downfall of the republic is at hand."

Our suggestion to the Tribune: before taking it too hard find out how to spell "monocle."

The Honor System
In the minds of many who are watching closely the partial test of the hour system of examinations in one of the departments of this college, it is doubtful whether it will be a widespread success in this institution, because of the attitude of students toward it. General dissatisfaction has been expressed by those who have taken examinations in that department. Those who are hostile do not mind the supervision of the old system and those who would take advantage of the honor system, if there are some, are put on a more equal basis with those of the first class under the old system.
Almost everyone will be willing to admit that the honor system is nearer the ideal than any system of supervision, but the advisability of its
introduction does not rest on this point alone. If it is to be used to any great extent, it must be looked into pretty thoroughly before it is accepted. Its success requires first of all the student's attention, the extent to which they are trusted, and the kind of work in which it is tried.
A letter from a student now in a western law school tells of the honor system as it is used there. It is the accepted standard in the law department where it is an entire success. It is also used to a limited extent in the liberal arts department where it has been used but not a success, and states that the character of the examinations in the law school are such that it would be impossible to use a pony or book to any advantage—I.
