Silence and reserve suggest latent power. What some men think has more effect than what others say. —Chesterfield.
When they start out to face the hard, cold world those senior engineers will at least have the protection of a pay roll.
RESERVE "K'S" AGAIN
"Two of the Accused" seem slightly aggrieved over the criticism which has been caused by their mutilation of the reserve football "K's" which were granted by the Athletic Board. Their side of the case was presented in Friday's Daily Kansan.
The wearers of the reserve "K'S" could have presented their case to the members of the Athletic Board before action was taken by that body had they so desired. An interval of several days elapsed between the recommendation of the Student Council and the meeting of the Board.
The decision as to who deserved the regulation "K" was settled by the Athletic Board, and is entirely beside the issue. The reserve "K" was intended to give recognition to those members of the football squad who had rendered valuable service but who had not fulfilled the requirements which make the regulation "K" an emblem to be highly prized. If this recognition is not appreciated by those for whose benefit it was intended, doubtless the Board will not insist on conferring it.
It is unfortunate that the reserve emblems shock a sensitive taste, and the designers should be arraigned for trial before a jury of art critics and severely punished. Until that time, it might be well, however, to consult the members of the Board before censoring the insignia which they have given.
The W. S. G. A. is to run the "movies" in order to get scholarships. Too great attention to those institutions usually has an opposite effect.
POLITICAL PEP
The politician—yes, he is the man who has always been considered of limitless zeal, of unbounded pep, of the greatest enthusiasm, of—well, of all those qualities which keep a man in the foreground and finally land him as king of his constituents.
At last it has been found that the germ of spring fever, too small to be seen with a microscope, can deal the politician a severe blow—in fact, can take all the zeal, pep, and enthusiasm which he possesses. In a couple of weeks the annual Athletic Board election will be held, and a week later will be the Student Council election. No candidates have appeared for the first race and only
today has the second ticket been entered for the Council election. Whatever several dozen students may be considering, not enough to make up the Council have so far announced themselves.
An election on Mt. Oread, besides furnishing an opportunity for selecting representatives to manage student affairs for the ensuing year, furnishes several days of social activities, surpassed only by the Junior Prom. If several candidates do not appear for each office, students are deprived of social opportunities which are theirs in inheritance and long established custom.
The cry for traditions continues and at the same time the undergraduate body is in danger of being deprived of one of its oldest practices —simply because our politicians have lost their pep.
We wonder what would happen if someone should shout "Votes for Women" behind that visiting professor from the University of London.
In classifying the ancient conceptions of the universe, an English professor told his class that 'for the next day's discussion he would give them Heaven. And for the day after that ___
Why is it that while the juniors can prom, the sophomores can merely hop?
ON SNOBBISHNESS
It is interesting to note the different attitudes of the various people we meet on the campus. Some go along with their heads bowed, never seeing the crowds that pass them and never thinking of speaking to them in this way. The heads in the air. They see all those who pass but they do not speak to many. Occasionally they crescentse to favor a passer-by with a nod.
Then there is another class and we are glad to be able to say that we think it is larger than the two classes just mentioned. These persons hold their heads neither too high nor too low. They see everybody. And they speak to most of the people that pass them.
They have the right idea. They may not know everybody that they speak to but that does not make any difference with them. And it should not. We should feel that every student is peculiarly related to us. We are all here together in one university, so we can show to that we have the true university spirit, which recognizes all men as brothers.
We must guard against snobbiness. The man who passes along the campus never speaking to anyone is a snob and there is no denying the fact. He thinks he is better than you. He thinks it is fundamentally wrong and the sooner he changes his attitude the better it will be for him.
This is an age of democracy. Indiana University is making, and has been making, rapid strides in the direction of democracy, especially since the birth of the Union. But there are still a few perverse persons who persist in holding themselves aloof from most of their fellows, and cherishing the worn-out idea of aristocracy. They are really no more than we are. Why do they not admit it? Let us rejoice that there are only a few of these persons in our midst and hope that soon the species will be entirely extinct at Indiana University—Indiana Student.
FRANK OLIN MARVIN Dean Frank O. Marvin was born May 27, 1852, at Alfred, New York. Allegheny College granted him the degree of Bachelor of Arts with science honors in 1871 and the degree of Master of Arts three years later. He then studied engineering with practical work in the field in irrigation, sanitary and city work.
WHO'S WHO AT K. U.
In 1875 he began his work in instruction in the University of Kansas. He was assistant in mathematics and physics to 1883, professor of engineering in 1883, and dean of the School of Engineering in 1891. He also became a dean off duty on a leave of absence on account of poor health. In 1901 Marvin was president of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education. He is also a contributor to engineering publications.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE

THE OREAD ORACLE
Rudyard Kipling
I am in love with a young Professor. He is the dearest man and I shake every time he comes around This is the first time I have ever loved. How can I win the Professor? Violet.
Oread Oracle:
Yours is an unusual case, Violet Oracle has never heard of anyone else experiencing this divine passion for a faculty member. Shaking when the Professor comes around is not necessarily a sign of love, however. The first step in this case is to read carefully the complete works of Mary J. Holmes, Laura J. Libbey, and Elinor Gliner. Now begin taking a box of candy to the Professor every morning. A Professor's weakest point is his stomach. After you have been filling this vacancy in the faculty for several weeks he will doubtless begin to suspect something. Now invite him down to dinner. It is advisable to soak your hair in perfume. Perfumed tresses are something that few Professors can withstand. In case he is a bachelor, you may offer him a demi-tasse with perfect propriety. Sigh deeply every time you pass him. A good sigh in the right place is invaluable. If the Professor still holds aloof, spurn him, as he is not worthy of further attention, and marry an engineer. You will probably experience no difficulty here.
Oracle.
