We can find nothing more in stud; than we bring to the study. Frasert.
There is one consolation. That handball tournament will be finished in another week.
Students who have had English terms returned all covered with red ink, will agree with the statement that English teachers work too hard.
THE JUNIORS WILL DECIDE At a class meeting tomorrow morning, the juniors will pass final judgement on the proposed plan for financing the Jayhawker for next year. So far no objections to the new order have been heard, but it is to be hoped that the meeting tomorrow will be well attended so that the action taken shall be thoroughly representative of the sentiment of the class.
Under the new plan, each senior will pay seven dollars at the beginning of the year, for which he will receive a copy of The Jayhawker and his picture therein. Those who fail to pay the annual fee will be debarred from voting in class elections and from participating in class activities.
The new plan offers so many advantages over the system employed heretofore that there seems small doubt that the class will adopt it. The seniors this year paid nearly as much for their book and cut, and at the same time stand a chance of having to make good a deficit.
It will put the book on a business basis instead of making it a speculation where the manager has much to lose and nothing to gain. By enabling the manager to tell how his finances are coming out, it will enable him to get out a better book And it is much less than the students at sister colleges are paying, without a murmur, for the same purpose.
The juniors of the University of Kansas should be unwilling to lag behind.
There is a call for the sophomore class to make up the deficit from the Hop. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.
A CLASS REUNION
A man or woman comes to the University four years and receives a diploma. And then, at least in great part, his connection with the institution and his relationships with his fellow students are broken. No more is his class united; no more does it meet as a body.
Indeed during every commencement week class banners are carried by a few of the more loyal of the alumni but at best it is a poor representation. There is little enthusiasm evident.
Two years ago the seniors decided that their class would not let this condition continue to exist and formed an organization with a secretary, the purpose being to keep the classmen interested in the University and each other. They decided to hold a reunion on Mt. Oread at commencement time, five years after their departure. It remains to be seen whether or not the classmen will return as they pledged themselves to do but their decision was at least one that is worthy of the class of 1913.
Why not repeat?
If that snake hadn't been found soon, we predict that several students would have been taking the Keeley cure.
Harold Henry, besides being a great pianist, has the distinction of being the only K. U. alumnus with a reversible name.
LIMITING ACTIVITIES
The student's interests committee has started a movement, evidently, to limit the number of activities and reduce the importance which they are beginning to assume in the eyes of the students. That is an awfully good step in the right direction. It will aid somewhat in returning to the scholastic spirit—the spirit which makes the pursuit of one's studies enjoyable, and in all cases paramount. But there is lacking in this way of going at the problem a fundamental correction.
It is to be noticed that the professional men in the university have much less part in student activities than other students. Just in proportion as the men take their school work seriously, so are they refraining from activities. This would argue that the difficulty with the scholarship in other schools is not because of the number of activities and so forth but rather in the courses themselves.
It seems to be true that undergraduate energy must be used up by some sort of endearation. If the schoolwork is such that it leaves a time—and enthusiasm surplus in a young fellow he must naturally use it up in some sort of activity. Remove the wholesome activity and he must turn away. It turns out that haps not so wholesome. The remedy then does not lie in doctoring the effects, the activities. The remedy lies in curing the cause.
Just how enthusiasm for scholarship is to be produced, we suppose, many educators would give much to know. This much is fairly sure. Where the student is forced to really work to gain passing grades, he is generally, if not enthusiastic, at least serious and, force, industrious. As we said in a previous editorial, the students of Wisconsin raise its standard of requirements. If it does there will be fewer activities, better scholarship and fawer flunks—Wisconsin Daily News.
"WANTED—AN ANGEL"
With Sir Walter Scott we say, "O woman! in our hours of ease, uncertain, coy, and hard to please," when we cast our eyes over the "ideal" young man of the Kansas college girls. Height, 5 feet 11 inches; weight, 159 pounds; chest, 40 inches expanded, 34 inches contracted; waist $30 \frac{1}{2}$ inches if a dandy; true sportsman; not a flatterer; reverent of the aged; courteous; not a smoker or drinker; not a sneaker at religion; and who does not recognize a double standard.
For one thing we thank the Kansas connoisseurs, they are assured not dilettantes, and that is for the saving clause, "He must make a good appearance, but need not be handsome."
AS HIGH SCHOOLS SEE IT
From what the Daily Kansas says concerning caps and paddling at K. U. this must be a rather miserable time for the fresies. Perhaps, though, since the freshies make up such a large part of the whole school if they can't take care of themselves, should capped paddles padded by a paddler, padded with a two by four. Wonder if such treatment could safely be administered to our freshmen. No doubt it would do them good, but when we cast our optics upon that herd of six-footers—well, we decide not to begin just now. -Hiwatha Phoenix.
The news columns cover the case when they say "Angel Wanted."
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
A weapon that comes down as still
As snow-flakes fall upon the sod,
Yet executes a freeman's will
At lightning does the wall of God;
Nor from its force, nor love nor locks
Shall turn us—'tis the ballot-box.
THE OREAD ORACLE
Oread Oracle:
A Middle Law is liable to do anything, Bluebell, and you should have known better. In these affaires d'amour they are often put in the same category as Chemical Engineers. The only thing for you to do is to reject him violently at the first opportunity.
I am in deep, deep trouble, Oracle. I was very lonesome and became engaged to a Middle Law some time ago. Since then I have met four other girls who also engaged him. The say he has broken the Middle Law record of six in one semester. Dear Oracle, you must tell me what to do.
-Anon.
Bluebell.
If you are so lonesome, dear, why don't you try to win the affections of some honest man from the college? As a rule, college men are true and constant, and you will be taking no chances. Several fair, buxom youths make the Daily Kansan office their habitat, and would be overjoyed to meet you. While plain, simple, and unassuming, these youths are entirely unattached, and would make kind and affectionate helpmeets; either for the semester or ad infinitum.
Oracle's heart goes out to you,
Bluebell, and she will be glad to
make an appointment with you some
evening to talk about things.
(Oracle).
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.
Don't you think that the "Umpty-Ums" idea has been worked hard enough? I suggest that you start something new in order that the "Umpty-Ums" may be used again next year.
A RINGING PROTEST Editor Daily Kansan:
Not-a-candidate.
I am glad to hear that the speeches on Students' Day this year are to be short and snappy. Students' Day is, no doubt, valuable but it is one of those affairs which is not made more interesting. I spend three hours listening to dry talks.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Before putting anyone on the program I suggest that he be made to sign an agreement that his "spasm" will be brief.

WEITH CHAMP RIFLER
Wins From Wood By Default--
Club To Ask Association
Support
Miss Frances Lavender of Williamsburg is the guest of Miss Clara Dehn.
"It itsems only fair to me that we be allowed a certain amount with which to buy supplies and guns, just as football players are furnished suits. Rifle shooting is a sport induged in by more people themselves than the average, and in a school like this it should be supported better in the future than it has been in the past."
The rife shoot scheduled for last saturday to determine the championhip of the local club did not materialize. Woods who had won first inions in the undergraduate division did not show up to meet Weith, champ of the faculty and graduate school. Woods defaulting, Weith will get the medal offered by the United States government.
"The support of the Athletic Association will be asked next year and we will try to arouse more interest than was shown this year," said Weith this afternoon. "However, they are turned out for the season are to be commended because they did so at their own expense and accord."
