FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1913
Humor crops out in unexpected places. The regents have decided that the freshmen may hold smokers in the Gym, provided only they do not smoke.
WHAT WAS THE SCORE?
When Oklahoma came up last fall to encounter the representatives of the University on the gridron the student who could not tell just what and just why the score the previous year was would have been regarded as strangely ignorant.
Tonight Oklahoma has again invaded Kansas for a contest which should rank as of major importance to the student body. At the same time other representatives will be engaged at the University of Colorado.
Unfortunately, for the interest of undergraduates, the contest happens to be an intellectual rather than an athletic affair, and it is doubtful if more than a mere handful know either the names of the members of the team or the question for debate. And should you ask them for the results of similar contests last year they would be completely stumped.
By the way, what was the score a year ago?
The University Council is trying to devise means to increase chapel attendance. Why not make the exercises interesting?
The try-out for a position in the wild man's cage on Engineers' day is still on. Apply early.
THE SENIORS ACT
Aha, the senior class is about to do something!
Certainly action is to be condemned but it is so decreed. Students and faculty will have to submit—unless perhaps the members of the aforesaid class are seized with a violent attack of spring fever and fail to execute the memorial plan adopted.
Considering the fact that the die is cast and that inaction must cease, the Daily Kansan may, perhaps, join in congratulating the seniors upon the "pep" shown at the meeting yesterday. Two good propositions for memorials were presented, either of which would have provided something suitable for the institution. A gateway near Myera hall will be attractive and worthy of the class of 1913.
Just to show the `inhabitants` of
Mt. Oread that the fourth year men and women are loyal Jayhawkers and that they appreciate the value of memorials, they should be busy at once and put the plan through according to the desire of the class as expressed at the meeting.
Our idea of a patriot is a man who will smoke a K. U. cigar.
The last meeting of Skull and K was held at the University Infirmary.
INTER-CLASS TRACK
One of the most interesting athletic events of the year takes place tomorrow, when the annual inter-class meet brings out the track talent of the University. The close rivalry between the different classes and the fact that several men have been showing record-breaking form lends additional interest to the contests.
This meet gives the students a good opportunity to get a line on the standing of the track men, and compare the men who now compose the team with those who may possible succeed them in other years. The coaches expect one hundred men to participate.
Track is beginning to come into its own at the University. The team has already show its worth by defeating Missouri for the first time in an indoor meet and with the support of the student body, there is no reason why they should not add other victories to their string.
The students generally attach great importance to the effect of student support in helping the football men to do their best work and in giving them the spirit that wins games. Why not try the same thing to aid the track teams to bring home scalps?
Begin your rooting for track by attending the inter-class meet tomorrow. You will find it an enjoyable occasion.
The May fete may be big, but that does not mean that the April feet are small.
SWAMPING THE IDEAL
We are caught in a maelstrom of activity and controversy. On all sides the lure to activity other than that of the classroom is so strong that some of us are prone to question whether we came to college to study or to give ourselves occasion for later regret that we did not study.
The men and women in the University who receive our respect and admiration are not those of high scholastic ability, but rather those who are prominent in outside activities. We have placed a premium on working with these students that demonstrate our versatility rather than real scholarship.
And this is true because we have come to look upon the University not so much a place for classical education, but as a mill for the grinding out of practical and efficient "doors of things". While it is not wholly true that we are becoming a community of higher-business-college students, the tendency is undoubtedly in that direction.
We are so busy trying to get things done that we are forgetting how to live. We are amassing great stores of practical knowledge and failing to transmute it into well-rounded life. In a word, we have gone from one extreme, formal learning and philosophical speculation, to the other, ultra-practical efficiency.
We really need at Wisconsin a greater emphasis of the intellectual, contemplative student life. We need groups devoted to discussion of life problems, art, music, literature; groups from which in earlier days came such men as Franklin, Webster, Bascom.
We need to pause now and then in our mad chase after the purely practical and devote ourselves to the ideal. After all, these things which so fill our student life now belong to the category of things which "satisfy not"; those which we are "swamping in the leadmstom of activity", which need our encouragement, are the things through which "a man shall be satisfied from himself".
A little room, please, for the ideal!—Wisconsin Cardinal.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE

THE OREAD ORACLE
Oread Oracle:
I have been invited to a swell party. Being from Lansing, I have never mixed in society very much. There will probably be lots of ladies at the party. How shall I act when I meet a lady?
Oracle can mention several standard forms, but the "make and break" method is the one commonly used. It is very simple. First, you make the lady's acquaintance, then she breaks you. When the lady is introduced to you, step forward quickly and seize, whichever hand she offers you. Now place your other hand on her elbow and use this as a fulcrum. You will need the elbow, she will think you don't like her. Now is the time for you to begin to shake. If you show hesitation or timidity she will spot you at once. The ladies like a man to be bold and self-confident, but not too rough.
Medic.
After you have shaken for several minutes, secure a half-nelson or a good neck hold on the lady and conduct her to some nearby divan. Now is the time to talk. It is well to throw your arm back and display a couple of ten cent cigars. Tell her that the last time you drove your father's car you killed a young child in case the lady appears blase, make sure she has been able to herself and she will probably say to her, "Gee, this kiddo is some sport, what?" When you have said all you know, stop. It is very essential to stop at this point. Now shake hands again, employing the former modus operandi. Now walk away to the next lady, taking great care not to fall down. A fall now would spoil everything.

THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Friend—You are wasting your time painting pictures, old chap.
Artist—But I sell my pictures.

It shows that you could sell anything, so why not take up something there's big money in.
