Literature is the immortality o speech.—Schlegel.
Owing to a tie-up in the "back office," the Daily Kansan is issued today under a severe handicap as to amount of matter that can be gotten up on the linotype. Two illustrated issues in a week are rather too many to pass unnoticed, but we expect to be back in shape again soon.
OMAR HITE, Editor
Editor.
Just as the automobile, a la donkey power, passed Green Hall in the parade yesterday. a Law hissed, "Well, well, they don't even know which end to hitch up to."
REVENGE
Ping Kong, the Hawaiin right fielder, had a narrow escape. He missed being an American parlor game by only one letter.
No doubt the gymnasium should be used principally for French plays, music festivals, proms, hops, and receptions.
However it is possible that interspersed among these many activities this building with its basketball floor, its running track, its handball courts, and its gymnastics could be profitably used as a place for students and faculty to get the kinks out of their muscles, to make their blood flow with a little force, to assure themselves that they are still living beings, not mere pegs.
What is so rare as—well, as a chance to get even with your profs. for those long assignments, those unexpected quizzes? How would it do for students and faculty to go to the gymnasium and "mix," really "mix?" Understand us, Mr. Student, we do not mean to intimate that you are a better man than your august professor and that you could show him up but we merely wish to suggest that perhaps you could make it interesting for him. We will at least give you the benefit of the doubt.
A great temptation, n'est-ce pas?
Give it a trial.
Our liniotype operator threatens to leave. He insists that following names of Music Festival artists with a list of Chinese baseball players is asking Too Much.
WHERE ARE THOSE CAPS?
The decrease in the number of freshmen attending the University is greatly to be regretted. Last fall when the freshman cap ordinance went into effect the number of those who blossomed out with the little blue caps was astonishing, but nowadays the diminutive headgear is a comparative rarity.
Is it really the case that there are so many fewer freshmen than last fall, or are the sophomores and their paddles loading on the job?
A news story said that the engineers were ruling the University yesterday. Slide ruling?
Now that the Zoology boa constrictor and an educated frog have disappeared, some Sherlock may discover that they have eloped.
The Hawaiian team seems to be able to play ball in spite of the handicap if two inning names.
COMMUNICATION
A KICK ON THE LIBRARY Editor Daily Kansan:
In the name of common sense, I like to know the reason, if reason there be, why the stacks of the library are closed at six o'clock every night. I am on the hill all day, and at night, if I wish to read a little—even the common classies that are on the shelves of every public library—I am told "the stacks are closed." I have heard men from other schools talk, and so far as I know, though I may be badly mistaken, this custom is not generally followed elsewhere.
And then I'm not allowed in the stacks because I'm a freshman. I might get lost, it is true, but I would like to look over the books and see what there is to read. It reminds me of the way books used to be prohibited by the clergy back in the middle ages. Maybe a freshman couldn't understand the books, and maybe they would pollute his morals, but it looks like an extremely foolish system to me.
