Are we to understand that the Indoor Circus management promises to stage all the attractions featured on their bills? THREE MORE KNOTS THREE MORE KNOTS Three more victories over our ancient rivals, the Tigers, in a space of two days add to the general impression that this is a Kansas year. Two baseball games and a debate were annexed to the string of Jayhawker triumphs Friday and Saturday, and the general intention is to keep right on winning the rest of the year. The bunch of knots tied in the Tiger's tail this year has been varied, but the job has been none the less thoroughly done. Football, three out of four basketball games, indoor track, and now debate and baseball have been recorded in favor of Kansas, and so far Missouri has been given good ground for sadness. Only outdoor track and return baseball games offer them a chance for revenge, and people here feel that our chances in these events are excellent—excellent. If the Missouri teams this year were weak or if they were not worthy rivals there would be little cause for rejoicing, but the Missouri representatives have been strong, well trained and able. They have fought gamely and cleanly, and in no contest has Kansas had an easy victory. Beteween our universities there has been no enmity nor bitterness but only wholesome rivalry. This seems to be a Kansas year. Perhaps next year or the next year, Missouri's turn will come, but when it does it will not be because Kansas has not done her best. Here's best wishes—and more knots—for our best and oldest rival. Haven't the votes been counted yet, or why is it that some campus Sherlock hasn't made public the name of the May Queen? One professor's son lost haught while growing. Perhaps that explains some of the dwarfs here-abouts. JUST A JUNK PILE? Despite our recent and somewhat continued instinations in regard to the game of handball, we wish to state that we agree with Dr. Naismith and other authorities that the game is one of the best forms of exercise. Two, three, or four can play at once. It is a game that really makes all your muscles work and it does not take long to get a good "work-out." It has been improperly called "poor man's tennis" but it has an advantage over tennis in that weather conditions do not affect the courts. However in Robinson gymnasium other troubles exist that make bad weather seem insignificant. The gymnasium is used for plays, dances, etc., and the handball enthusiast must suffer from the fact that the courts are made the general dumping ground. Chairs, mats, staging, planks, and gymnasium apparatus are all piled into the little rooms and when the would-be players arrive (if, perchance, he gets by all locks) it is all that he can do to get his head within the room. There are only two handball courts in the Gym. Should these be junk piles? You wonder why the above. Well, one editor is a handball fan. You wonder why again. Let us hope that the W. S. G. A. election will not bring forth any of the English variety of militant suffragettes. OTHERS HAVE IT, TOO We may say, without fear of getting poetic, that the joyous springtime has come at last, and with it spring housecleaning, spring poetry, spring fussing, and spring fever. Yes, paradoxically enough, amid all this overflowing energy and new life, that dread pestilence creeps maliciously among the sons of men seeking whom it may overwhelm with its soothing lethargy. On one of these blazing hot afternoons, when one can catch a glimpse of the cool waters of the Iowa and the woods beyond, the recitation room looks about as inviting as a stone quarry at Ft. Madison. The belated student lets a cane trip up the river encearch upon Look's Essay concerning the Human Understanding, while trigonometric formulae dwindle into itemized accounts of fussing expenses. Everyone now, at least 99.999999 percent of us, feel about as much affection for concentrated study as the small boy does for the proverbal hoe. But like the cartridge in the gun that nobody thought was loaded, there lurks in even the laziest of us, an impulse to achievement that spurs us on to dogged effort in spite of persistent drowsiness and inertia. We should in these days, take this little spark of life which we have left, fan it carefully and endeavor to make it a blaze. Incidentally we beg to suggest that weather may come and weather may go, but classes go on forever; also that, cruelly enough, the quality of work done now helps to determine just as much our percentage of A's as that accomplished last September. Therefore, in the words of the immortal bard, let us then be up and doing. If we hit for the woods, or try to row our canoe right side up for at least thirty yards, or recreate ourselves in the city park, let us do so without the spectre of a flunk card haunting us on the way.—Daily Iowa. ADVENTURES OF THE MUNCHAUSEN CLUB When I was a small boy I lived with my grand-parents. One Thanksgiving day my grand-parents were sitting before the fire, moaning for food. Unable to witness their suffering longer, I hitched up my grand-father's team to the wagon, and drove to an adjacent wood, where the wild turkeys were in the habit of congesting. 4Y HAPPIEST THANKGIVING G. A. G. Gesellschaft Taking the end-gate rod from the wagon, I ran it into the ground, filled the hole with corn, and scattered a few handfuls over the leaves. Withdrawing to a nearby hill, I was overjoyed to "see the turkeys begin to sally forth and pick up the corn. Soon all the grain was picked up except that in the hole, and the birds began to scatch. A wild turkey is very headstrong, and never goes up. In a short time the whole flock had scratched themselves to death. I now drove up with the wagon, loaded the turkeys into it, and hastening home presented them to I now drove up with the wagon, loaded the turkeys into it, and hastening home presented them to my proud and happy grand-parents. When fools pretend to wit and sense, And wish to shine at your expense. Defy them to the proof, and you Will make them their own folly shove.—Anon. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE Students are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith. Some rube from the country hopped on my cartoon Friday, all spraiddled out and said that I pulled off a rank bonehead in drawing the boy milking the cow from the left side. STUDENT OPINION Editor Daily Kansan; Again, look at the angered expression on the cow's face and the threatening twitching of her tail. This shows that she is unaccustomed to being "juiced" from the left side. The critic is a very shallow thinker. Yes, I put the kid on the left side, but get out the cartoon again, and look at the timid, inexperienced expression on the face of this boy scarcely seven years old. It is the first time he ever had to pull out the milk. How should he know which baby was coming? And had to this time is because the rest of the family were going to the Exposition. Pro Bono Cartoonicum. Editor Daily Kansan: I am a senior who has been much interested in the Jayhawker plan up before the Juniors. For the last two years, especially, I have watched the work of the manager and editor of the annual and feel that a change must be made in the system if the book is to be kept up to the present standard—a standard worthy of the University of Kansas. Last year a large deficit was the result. Even if the proposition pays out, it lays an unfair burden on the manager and editor, for they are held personally responsible and have no definite budget upon which they can depend. They are simply the "goats." The juniors will do well to change this condition. Nevertheless, I do not believe that the plan proposed at the meeting of the class was what it should be. To keep a student out of all school activities as a punishment for not "digging up" seven dollars is too much. If this was a school of aristocrats there would be no objects in this but a large percentage of our students earn their own way and to say that he must pay seven dollars as an annual fee or be thrown out of everything is going too far. However I believe that the plan as proposed would save the average senior money. For this reason it should be adopted, leaving out the objectionable portions. Show the senior that he will actually save money by paying the fee and he will be glad to pay, but never should failure to do so keep from other privileges of Mt. Oread. The plan should be revised and again submitted to the class. Give it another trial. Consider the fountain pen which never does its best work until it is full.—Chaparral.

Three Good Reasons Why a tailor's customers cannot be weaned away: Service—You get every dollar out of the garment in actual wear before it becomes shabby. Comfort-You don't have to "break it in" because it was made for you, sitting or standing. Appearance—The graceful way it conforms to the body causes you to recognize the difference at a glance. That is because it was fitted to the wearer and will stay that way. TAILOR MADE CLOTHES THE GREAT SHIP SEANBEE The largest and most famous ship in the world.
