SAVIORS
Saviors live now as of old,
When ancient saviors bled;
Who lifts me to my higher self,
He saves me from the dead.
J. P. Shea.
Well, fellows, tomorrow's the first football game.
Well, fellows, tomorrow's the first football game. You all know the dope on it. At three o'clock we meet at South Park and get in line for the big parade and march out to the field with Governor Hodges leading the bandwagon and the rest of us thinking about seats in that rooters' section.
When we get out there we'll beat it to the best seats we can find and watch the autos line up. If a pretty girl walks down the line with one of the fellows, we'll not whistle—oh no. For he's a jolly good fellow.
We'll probably win tomorrow, all right, but that doesn't make any difference. We're there to give the team a big send-off, and get warmed up for the work we'll have when the harder games come along and our cheering will count.
We'll show the Chancellor we think he's all right, and give nine rafs for the coaches, the team and Manager Hamilton. If Governor Hodges will make a speech, we'll give him nine too; in fact, we'll do so anyhow.
Then we'll lick the tar off those fellows from William Jewell, but we'll do it so nicely and in such good sportsmanship that they'll feel favored in taking a liking from us. And after it's all over, oh you shirt-tail parade!
THE STATUS OF THE TANGO
Whenever in doubt about the standing of a new fad, go to a paper with some standing and see how it handles stories dealing with that fad. For that reason we quote the following story from the Kansas City "Star," with a Chicago date line:
The snaky, sinuous, senual Argentine tango dance of the lawless Spanish-American underworld of Buenos Aires, trailed into the United States by way of Paris, has become in Chicago a veritable dance of death in its relation to the tragic murder of Mrs. Mildred Alison-Rexroat.
Through the story of the woman's complex life in the last year, the music of the tango runs like the motif of all opera, faintly at first, then insinuatingly, then rising to overwhelming passion, and finally crashing into tragedy.
It was the tango that brought together the principal actors in the tragedy. Mrs. Mildren Allison, dissatisfied with her home because of the lure of the gayer life of tango dancing, left her husband and three children, supporting herself by teaching the dances she found so alluring. Everett Rexroat, coming from his father's farm to the livelier ways of the city, went wild over the tango.
The married life of the Allisons was just at the breaking point when Everett Rexroat met Mrs. Allison. Rexroat had come to Chicago with a determination to learn the tango.
To the country youth the tango can represent the gayet, the brightness, the social pleasures of the big city. Even before he met Mrs. Allison at Sans Souci, Rexroat had sought training in the tango, studying in a class conducted in the Powers Building here.
His obsession for dancing the tango was the bond between RexoRT and Mrs. Allison. Their courtship was in the dancing academies. And their association was the reason for Mrs. Allison's final quarrel with her husband and their subsequent divorce.
After her marriage to Rexroat Mrs. Allison-Rexroat told her former husband that she didn't love the country youth, but simply was danced into marrying him.
While Rexroat stayed at his father's farm his wife remained in Chicago, teaching the tango at an academy. To the academy came Spencer, the man accused of having murdered the woman. Spencer wanted to learn the tango. He became Mrs. Rexroat's shadow. It was through her interest in tango teaching that Spencer was able to lure her out to the lonely road at Wayne. He had promised to form a class in Wheaton that she was to instruct. The last conversation she had that anyone except Spencer heard was of the tango.
Mrs. Rexroat is dead. Her three boys are motherless.
Allison, her first husband, grieves for her. So does
Rexroat.
Spencer, accused of the murder, is a fugitive. If he is found there will be an epilogue.
But the curtain has gone down on the last act of the tragedy of the tango.
Thomas J. Hinshaw, K. U. law student, charged with being an accomplice in forgeries against the University, says that at the time he wrote checks for another man he did not know what they were going to be used for. Furthermore, he says his arrest is an outrage. When a man of 24 doesn't realize that it's wrong to sign another's name—well, maybe the law school is the place for him to get straightened out. Walnut Valley Times.
"AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS CHARITY"
It may be, as the state University professor and Dr. Crumbine find, that eggs three years old are edible. If so they must regain their edible qualities after having lost them for awhile, but a perfectly fresh egg, after exposure for an hour or two to the hot summer sun of Kansas loses its taste with us. We are a little particular about our eggs - Wilson World.
WAR IN MEXICO TAME
The war in Mexico will have to go back and sit down for awhile. The K. U. faculty has given out the decree that there must be no more wearing of skull caps by freshmen. The student body takes exception to the order, and thus war is threatened. The freshman cap has become a tradition at the University, and the older students hate to lose the privilege of ordering the first-year men to don that badge of subserviency—Wellington Journal.
OF INTEREST TO PROFESSORS
The state Board of Educational Administration has been doing a great work. Heretofore all the state educational institutions have been run under separate boards and have been practically "f faculty run." The new Board of Administration has already reduced the maintenance cost of the institutions under its charge by something like one hundred and fifty thousand dollars by the elimination of useless employees and professorships. One of the most difficult problems which confronts the board is that of convincing members of the faculties of some of the schools that these big institutions really belong to the people of Kansas. And in some of the institutions there is evidence that some of the old hands are endeavoring to start something that will embarrass or discredit the new Board of Administration. The press bureau takes this method of notifying these gentlemen that whenever the Board of Administration has even a good healthy suspicion that anything of the kind is afoot, there will be a lot of professors hunting jobs in midwinter, or earlier. Neither the governor, nor the board, intends to stand for any foolishness—Salina Union clipping from S. T. Seaton agency.
Unfamiliar Verses
RAVAGES
A fairy, you say, is a wonderful thing,
From the travolr of life quite apart.
Yet the thorns of a rose tear each gossamer wing,
And the fairy shoes worn to a ball in the Spring
May be drenched by the dew in a yellow rose heart.
—Anna P. Manley.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE AT DAWN
Out of the cleansing night of stars and tides
Building itself anew in the slow dawn.
The long sea-city rises; night is gone,
Day is not yet; still merciful, she hides
Her summoning brow, and still the night-car glides
Empty of faces; the night watchmen yaw;
One to the other, and shiver and pass on,
Nor yet a soul over the great bridge rides.
Frasil as a gossamer, a thing of air,
A bow of shadow o'er the river flung,
Its sleepy masts and lonely lapping flood;
Who, seeing thus a bridge a slumber there,
Would dream such softness, like a picture, hung,
Inwrought of human thunder, iron and blood?
—Richard Le Gallienne.
