Much discussion has arisen as to the identity of the be-moustached slack wire artists featured on the advertising of the Indoor Circus.
A POOR INVESTMENT
At sixteen and two-thirds and thirty-three and a third cents each the senior invitations do not appear to be a good investment.
Of course, it is now generally understood that an invitation to the commencement exercises means that the recipient should sent some graduating present, but there are always a number of persons who will overlook that part of the obligation and merely send a brief congratulatory note. Unless the senior has an exceptionally well selected list, he must figure that at least fifty per cent. of his receipts will be uncollectable notes.
Assuming that he sends out three dozen invitations, a fair estimate, the cost will be six dollars if he chooses the paper-covered kind or twelve dollars if he goes the limit and sends out the leather. Of the eighteen presents he gets, about half will be gold-washed cuff buttons and stick pins. His collection will also include a few out-of-date necktie that he would not wear to a masquerade party, a pink silk handkerchief or two, and other junk that he could buy for ninety-seven cents at the five and ten cent store.
When the senior has assayed his box full of presents, we believe that he will change his expenditure for invitations from the investment column to profit and loss.
Of course, he gets a new golo watch or something equally handsome from his parents, but he would have gotten that anyway, so it can't be counted in as a return from his investment.
Needless to say, the jar in Rowland's window was not filled from the Jayhawker profits.
WHY NOT SOME PEP?
WHY NOT SOME TEEN?
When Missouri visited us last fall, Rock Chalk echoed at all hours of the twenty-four for a week previous. Since that time such evidences of the Kansas spirit have wafeted away, and diligent research in the archives of memory is necessary to recall the time when a Rock Chalk has been heard since that glorious twenty-third of November.
The band has been showing up at the ball games, and nobles doing its duty, but the bleachers haven't had a chance to do their share. There has not been enough pop manifested to give a cheer for the team, to say nothing of the tremendous effort required to show that the efforts of the band are appreciated or to make the hills ring with a Rock Chalk.
The teams that have visited the University this year may have heard rumors that Kansas had some yells and could give them with spirit, but from evidence of their own ears they probably disbelieve these stories.
Missouri comes to Kansas for a couple of games tomorrow and Friday. They were given a royal reception last fall, so why not show them that the Kansas brand of pep lasts the year round. If the cheerleader cannot come, why not have at least a third or fourth assistant cheerleader to keep time for a few good yells, and give the rooters a chance to get into things?
Loud applause from the galleries should greet the announcement that the Student Day speeches are to be short and meaty.
It is just a year since that abolition of Poll Tax here. By Poll Tax is meant the miniature nails used to fix posters and advertising matter on trees and telephone poles on the campus.
We rise to inquire the proper method of getting in on those twenty-ent domestic science feeds, whose nenus sound like a three-dollar banquet.
TAKE A PLUNGE
Naturally supposing that you greatly desire a copy of the 1913 Jayhawker as usual, and the report is well confirmed, is to be the best yet, why not take advantage of the liberal offer of the management and hand in your guess as to the amount of money in the jar in Rowland's window?
A guess it must be, not an estimate, for, although a reliable University official filled the jar, who knows to whom the cash really belongs? It is for this reason that the Daily Kansan wishes to gve a few of the theories that are being advanced—theories which would aid in making a good estimate.
First--Suppose the jar is filled with 1913 Jayhawker profits. Then it would be safest to consider that the inside is a mass of pennies.
Second—Consider that the hidden sheckles are possible 1913 Jayhawkder deficit. Judging from last year you would do well to make the amount large. Perhaps the hidden portion is a real gold mine—ten dollar gold pieces.
Third—For a moment consider that it is really University money. Then we are unable to give you any help.
The theories are many but the ones given here are enough to make you think a while and finally decide that it is a mad stab—a mere guess—not a logical estimate.
Who is luckiest? Try it.
In most cases the sending of invitations is ridiculous anyway. There are very few people whom we really expect to attend our graduation exercises, and the few persons whom we want and expect to attend hardly need to be formally invited. But a simple card or letter of announcement would be an announcement and nothing more, and in all ways would be much more practical and appropriate than the present elaborate and expensive invitations.—Daily Illini.
ESS ELABORATE SENIOR INVITATIONS.
The cost and elaborativeness of senior invitations has so increased of late years that if this increase continues they will soon be purchased by seniors only as souvenirs of commencement to keep in their scrap books. The reason for making them so elaborate is not apparent. Seniors as a rule do not want to send out these expensive, formal documents. They often have a good many friends to whom they would like to send some sort of notice of their graduation, but the idea of sending these expensive, formal other-covered booklets is out of the question, and would be entirely inappropriate. What would really be of some practical use would be simple, neatly-engreed announcements, which might appropriately be sent to a number of relatives and friends.

ADVENTURES OF THE MUNCHAUSEN CLUB
The first four acts already past;
The fifth shall close the drama with the
last.
While spending a few weeks in South Africa, I was challenged by the native club to a handicap match. The day was extremely warm, ever for Rhodesia. At nine o'clock in the morning the game started. By noon I had worn out seven of my opponents, and they had been dragged from the field. Without stopping to rest, I continued my fast game. By four o'clock each team had succumbed. I went into the game weighing 162 pounds, and came out weighing 94. So great was my excessive perspiration that my caddy slipped in the mud that followed my course, and broke two tummies and a atee. I have kept the golf ball to verify the truth of this story, and will be glad to produce it at any time.
THE UNIVERSITY OF BERLIN Although younger than many of the great universities of the older countries, the University of Berlin is one of the most important. In 1807 King Frederick William III invaded the city and an accident to which he called the most noted of German scholars.
Time's noblest offspring is its Last. —Berkeley.
UNIVERSITIES OF OTHER COUNTRIES
Its brilliant success was due chiefly to Wilhelm von Humboldt, a scholar, a statesman, and an administrator. He brought its direction and support into the hands of the Minister of the Interior. In 1809 the King by royal order established the University on its present basis.
The chief feature of the new organization was the stress laid on securing men of the first order of ability to fill professional chairs. This policy has been continued and among the prominent educators that emplymen from our faculty are Sherer, Bopp, Ranke, and Helmholtz. Its faculties comprise theology, jurisprudence, medicine, philosophy, and arts and science.
"It thought you said Kelly an Casey were quite calm and collecte after the explosion."
The University also includes several "institutions" comprising the seminars, the institutes of physics and physiology, clinics, museums, and observatories. It is supported by the State and is now under the control of the Minister of Education. It is practically a self governing body with corporate freedom and responsibilities.
Men of all nationalities are admitted, and women (not German) to certain lectures under some restrictions. Over 11,000 students are enrolled.
