ON VARIOUS MATTERS
ON VARIOUS MATTERS
There seems to be no good and logical reason why the Summer Session of the University of Kansas should not be just as much of a University session as the so-called regular session. There will be 600 of us or more, there ought to be just as much work and just as much play as in the Fall session and the Spring session, and we ought to go away feeling just as kindly toward our "Summer Session" as the students who sailed away last week felt toward theirs.
The big thing to be gained in any University work, we have been told, is the opportunity to meet other men and women. Books are valuable, but not as a steady diet; professors are worth something, but not everything; our fellow students play the leading part. There has been criticism in years past that the Summer Session people were digs, that they didn't "mix," that they took themselves too seriously, and because of all these things the Summer Session was charged with being dry as a bone, a torture and a delusion, and a sad, grind.
First, let's get acquainted.
It takes enthusiasm in big chunks to accomplish big things. Big things can be done in a summer session but not without enthusiasm, and mutual help and forbearance, and walking together under the trees.
IN EXTENUATION
Omar Hite, editor of the Daily Kansan took leave of the office this morning, with sad heart and heavylimmed features. A good many hard things had been said about the Daily Kansan last semester. Some were said to the editor's face, some to his back, and some struck him in the form of anonymous communications. Brother Hite was sensitive and the cruel iron tore his soul.
Especially stinging were the rebukes for the editor's leaning to poetry. The tumult and the shouting caused by his spring poetry contest is still in the air. But we wish to submit something in his favor, not a long brief, with a firstly, secondly, thirdly, in favor of the muse; nor a justification on other grounds. No, we wish to submit a lone scrap of copy found in the deserted desk of the editor, a heart pome, which he refrained from printing. This restraint we offer in his extenuation.
Here it is:
THOSE K. U. BELLES
Those K. U. belles! Those K. U.
bell!
How many a tale a maiden tells
Of dates and parties and good times
As long as dad doth send the dimes
Those joyous hours will pass away:
When their own bills they'll have to pay
In some small town each school ma'm dwells,
How changed we see the K. U. belles.
And so it is when they are gone—
That other bellies will yet go on;
Still having dates with K. U. swells
Who sings the praise of K. U. belles.
And in the face of the sentiment, the music and the atmosphere of the pome itself, the editor had to fly in the face of the official endorsement, in red ink, of the English department itself.
The defense rests, Your Honor.
To Irate Subscribers
Circulation Mgr.
Will all subscribers who do not get their papers promptly please notify K. U. 25. We are adding 400 new names to our subscription list, and it will require some time for the carriers to get their routes running smoothly.
Denton Dunn, the only representative of the class of 1887, ran six blocks to get his class banner as the procession was about to start. He determined that '87 would be represented if he had to do it himself, and Denton Dunn it. (Help! Help!)
The downtown Commencement Information Bureau was the inspiration of Edwin F. Stimpson, '90, who had charge of the booth at the corner of Massachusetts and Henry streets. One old grad from Kansas City was especially anxious to secure the address of an Aunt Jane, but Stimpson refused to come across with the information.
W. D. Ross, '33, in addition to being state superintendet of public instruction, is state censor of motion pictures, and therefore, we suppose, a frequenter of the "Nickels." He did not visit the Aurora while in town, because he was too busy and besides, the Aurora is a dime.
Myrtle Hyre, K. U. '12, who has been teaching botany and English in the McPerson high school has returned to her home in Lawrence.
Katherine Tupper, K. U. '12, who has been teaching in the McPherson high school, is studying domestic science at Boston University this summer.
Normal Klein, of the staff of the Central High School Seminary is taking work in journalism in the Summer School.
Bessie Chase, who is teaching school near Kansas City, is enrolled in the Summer Session, taking special work in journalism.
Certain Summer Session students wish to announce to their friends and others that the late Santa Fe train from Topeka to Kansas City has been taken off.
Helen Rose, '13 attended the Jones-Kingsley wedding in Topeka Wednesday evening.
Of all the old grads who came back for commencement this year, the oldest (in number of years since graduation) was Mrs. Flora Richardson Coleman, of the class of 1873.
Sixty-six and two thirds of the per cent of the 1876 alumni who returned was Smith; C. W. Smith and wife, who was Lizzie Williams. Six of their family have since attended K. U.
Col. E. C. Little and Judge F. D. Hutchings, both attorneys in Kansas City, Kansas and graduates of the class of 1883, were back. Little is big on humorous speeches of which he made three at the alumni meeting.
Edwin C. Meservey, '82 retiring president of the alumni association, put in numerous good licks to have the Kansas-Missouri football game returned to Kansas City.
H. S. Maxwell, president of the medical class, '12, who is attending Washington University in St. Louis stopped here for commencement on his way to Clarida, Iowa, where he has a position as laboratory assistant in the state hospital.
Billy Morgan, of the Hutchinson News and T. H. Rockwell, medical director of the New York Life Insurance Company, arrived Monday and were as inseparable as in the days of old when they were roommates on the hill.
