TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1913
Gratitude is the memory of the heart—Willis.
The general impression is that the last two days of this week will be fairly strenuous.
CONCERNING THE ANNUAL
Has the junior class no class spirit?
That they haven't, to all appearances is the most significant thing of the failure, last week, of the juniors to take any decisive action on the matter of putting the Jay-hawker on its feet.
Had the class all been present at the meeting, and then refused, for one reason or another, to adopt the plan offered by Chairman Ross and committee, nothing better could have been desired. But the class has let the matter of the annual go by under the cruelest of punishments—indifference to it.
Some 75 out of a class of nearly 300 were there. The seats were hard, it is true, and the speakers, worn with doing the dirty work that keeps a class or any organization together, were judged "thumbs down" by those too lacking in initiative to even follow the plan outlined. Result: someone got tired, moved to adjourn, and procrastination took the place of action.
Are the juniors a lot of dead ones? Are they going to let this matter drag out the year without a solution? Do they not realize that another important matter, that of a manager of the annual, should be settled before summer in order to give next year's manager a fair show?
Or do the juniors care a rap whether they have any annual or not? It would seem that they do not.
Another meeting is to be called this week. Bug up, juniors! Get alive to the year 1913!
ARGUMENTS VS. ORATORY
The University has never beer famed for its prowess in debate as it has in other lines of activity but within the last three years quite a change has taken place. The present policy is to lay stress on facts and plain arguments and to pay less attention to flowery delivery. The plan has been very successful.
The teams have been taught to go to the bottom of the question in hand, to get at the fundamental
points of the matter, to know both sides of the proposition thoroughly and to depend on this knowledge to win their debates. In some universities the question is looked into superficially and most of the energy is spent in perfecting delivery in such a way as to make a good impression on the judges. Often debaters so trained win upon their good appearance on the platform or some technicality. But the men who work in this way really get little benefit from it. They do not go into the question as they should and consequently do not get results.
Every team, at least within the last few years, representing the University of Kansas has had a thorough knowledge of the subject being debated and has thus been repaid fo rits work no matter whether it succeeded in getting the decision or not.
The juniors are to have another chance to put the annual on a stable basis. What the Jayhawker needs is a Russell Sage foundation.
Now that the Music Festival is over there is no good excuse for the Engineers who do not have their lessons.
KANSAS LEADS ONCE MORE
An association of college papers with news service, a cartoon exchange bureau, and an advertising agency is the dream of the Daily Kansan. Such a project may not be entirely etherial in substance either, since that paper backs it up with an invitation to a meeting of college newspaper men sometime during the month of May.
Why not? All over the country there are press bureaus, and associations of dailies joining closely the newspaper interests of many large cities. By these methods they are able to cast their great dragnet over the country so that hardly an item of news escapes. Back of these efficient organizations is a vast amount of capital.
This the college papers do not have. Some of them live a hand to mouth existence, getting the mechanical work done wherever they can, always under extreme difficulties. Others have their own plants, and are consequently more fortunate, being able to follow out their plans more freely. Although lacking in capital, it is possible for all the college papers to combine in such an association and obtain for themselves many of the advantages which the larger papers derive from their organizations.
Through its advertising bureau the association should be able to pull much foreign advertising for its members. Under the present conditions, each paper is dependent largely on the local tax and ultimately the university paper published in the small town is handicapped.
A cartoon in each issue would lighten the front page of many college papers. Such an association would make this possible for many papers which at present can only run cartoons and cuts at rare intervals.
It seems very reasonable and possible that such an association could be formed for the mutual benefit of the college publications. We shall be glad to assist in the movement and shall watch with interest the further plans as the Kansan discloses them—Indiana Student.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Breathes there a man, with soul so dead.
As home his footsteps he hath turned
from wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him
well;
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim:
Despite those titles, power and self,
The wretch, concentrated all in self,
Lish, shall forfeit fair renoun;
And, doubly dying, shall go down
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name.
who need to know how man is born.
"This is my own, my native land!"
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned.
And, doubly dying, shalt go down
To the vile dust from which he sprung
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
Who never to himself hath said,
Scott.
ADVENTURES OF THE MUNCHAUSEN CLUB
Gentleman, will you believe me when I tell you that I once had a long, flowing beard? One summer I was spending a few weeks with a party of surveyors in the wilds of the Wasatch mountains. My beard was about 18 inches long at this time. The woods were full of large, ferocious owls. I was standing guard one night to keep the savage birds from attacking us. Toward morning I fell asleep. A tickling sensation awakened me, and I was horrified to find that a family of titmouse had moved into my beard, and had all but consumed it. My cries aroused my companions, and we drove the hungry rodents off. But my beautiful, curly beard was a complete wreck. Gentleman, to this day I have never grown another beard. My smooth, hairless face will speak for itself concerning the truth of this story.

ANOTHER REPLY
Dear Brother Corn Tassel—I noticed your little article in I-friday's Kansan, in which you took it upon yourself to hand out a little information about "jucing" a cow and incidentally put the cartoonist in bad repair. It seems to me that if I were trying to pose as a "tiller of the soil," as you are, I would hit back to the woods and investigate the matter before pulling another bonehead. Now as a matter of fact cows are often milked from the left side. It appears to me that you have not been on a farm much or else have a great deal to learn.

FOR CLEAN SPORT Editor Daily Kansan:
Opinions differ, but how many real gentlemen think that visiting teams in our athletic contests should be "roasted" or otherwise maligned? To be sure, occasionally an opposing player makes us tired, or maybe real sore, and we feel like characterizing him—from the bleachers, mind you, where we are perfectly safe. And of course their team should be "rattled" as much as possible, but it doesn't sound well.
Admitted that it is fine to amuse one's companions, that it is the height of accomplishment to make one's lady friend laugh by cute remarks about the player—loud enough so that he can hear it—yet the true sportsman does not do it. Now at our ball games you fellows who are so anxious to "kid" an opponent, just step down where he is and be a man about it; give him an equal chance with yourself. Or, far better, remember that the umpire is very efficient running the business end of the game.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Fritz—How do the sausages happen to be so tasty today?
"Butt-in."
"Have you figured out your allowance?"
Fritzi—Oh, one of the neighbors gave me a pointer.
"No, what's the use of bothering about nothing?"
—Jester.
—Exchange.
A man entered a shop where they sold game, and seeing a deer that pleased him, asked:
"How much for the doe?"
"Ten bucks."
"Too dear!"
But by fauning entreaties the trader negotiated the sale--Siren.

On the other hand, turn not away from the man to whom Velvet is unknown. Tell him of its tempting fragrance, its delightful richness, its satisfying smoothness. Do unto others.
Manners mirror the man. If he passes you a big red can of Velvet it is safe to assume he's one of the elect.
