THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1913
The name of the May Queen is to be kept secret until May 3, but the winner should see to it that the newspapers get her photograph in time for that day's issue.
J. Grouch says: "Any judge that would send some of the professors to jail certainly would get the solid student vote."
THUMBS DOWN
The honor system has never been adopted here, but most of the professors give only a perfunctory scrutiny to prevent cheating, relying rather on the honesty of the students.
Handcuffs, padded cells and other police methods of conducting examinations have long been out of vogue at the University of Kansas. Most students seem willing that these should remain fashionable, but occasionally some misguided mortal appears who works for their installation.
When this trust is betrayed an injury is done, not only to that particular class, but to every member of the student body. The man is gaining credit for work he has never done, and his lowering of the standing of the institution reflects upon every one connected with it. The student who has really worked feels a sense of grave injustice when he sees another stealing his way through.
Two cases of cheating come before the Men's Student Council next week. Members of the Council say that no mercy will be shown if the men are found guilty.
"Thumbs down" is the word.
The French play is making a strong bid for popularity. No admission fee will be charged.
It would be a good idea to allow the men of the senior class to elect the May Queen, were it not for the fact that each one would want to propose a different candidate.
THE NEW SECRETARY
No small opportunity is it that the University Y. M. C. A. has for service. Within the last few years the association has taken great strides—has accomplished much within its sphere—but a great deal remains to be done. The new student work, the employment bureau, and social service, for example, can be expanded and made more useful.
It is now practically certain that Conrad Hoffman, an assistant pro-
lessor of bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin, will accept the position as general secretary of the Mt. Oread association. Giving up his position where he is in line for rapid promotion, he will accept a position where the pay is comparatively small and where his reward must be the realization of service instead of dollars and fame.
At Wisconsin Mr. Hoffman conducted one of the greatest Y. M. C. A. campaigns ever waged, and if he comes to Kansas would take up the work so well begun, and more than ever before realize the possibilities of the association.
If there is anything in a name, Ketchum, who now ranks tenth in the hand ball tournament, should win yet.
A hard one: Since Miss Stone plays the leading lady in the French play why shouldn't Mr. Flint be leading man?
ONE ON PROF. CARRUTH
Es ist mit tiefem Bedauern, ja mit druckende Schirmwurth, dass wir dem Tag entgegensenheen, wo das hochverhte Haupt der deutschen Abteilung, unser Fuehrer und Freund, Professor Carruth, Abschied von uns nehmen wird, da er beakttilch den Ruf nach der Universitaet Leland Stanford angenommen hat. Wie ein Donnerschlag als klarem Himmel traf uns die Nachtricht, dass er sich entschlossen habe, nach dem golden Westen zu ziehen, und denn kochen wir ens ihm nicht verdenkten, denn die dortige Stelle, abgeschehen von dem bedeutend grosserm Gehalt, gibt him die laengt erwuneschte und hirstes versage Muse und Gelgenheit, seinem schaffenden Geist wirken zu lassen. Dass Kansas and ganz besonders the Universitaet in Rat und Tat vermissen wird versehren sich von selub. Seine mehr als dreissigiachre Taestigkeit als professor hat ihm hier eine Bedeutung erworben, die auch der beste Nachfolger so bald nicht wrerereichen können. Die Leistungen in diesen wichtigen und früchbraten Jahren seines Lebens werden immer unsere teuerne Erbschaft bleiben, und unser Trost koennen wir darin finden, dass sein Ruf und Rhum als Lehrer, Schriftsteller' und Gelehrter immer mit der Universitaet Kansas verbunden sein werden. Dennoch tut das Scheiden weh. "Es ist bestimmt in Göttes Rat, dass man vom Liebsten was man hat, muss scheiden." Es wird ihm aber auch nicht leicht sein, sich mit allen Wurzeln aus dem heimmatlichen Boden loszureisen.
"So lebt dem wohl, ihr Ihreunde ihr,
Ich ziehe traurig fort von hier;
Und find'ich einst ein groess'res
Glocke.
So denk'l gern an euch zurueck." E. F. E.
WHAT COLLEGES CAN DO
"College doesn't makeools; it develops them. It doesn't make bright men, it develops them. A fool will turn out a fool whether he goes to college or not, though hell probably turn out a different sort of a fool. And a good, strong boy will turn out a bright, strong man whether he's worn smooth in the grab what you want and eat with one eye skinned for the dog school of the street and stores, or polished up and slicked down in the 'give your order to the waiter and get a sixteen-course dinner' school of the professors. But while the lack of a college education cannot keep No. 1 down, it boasts No. 2 up.
"I's simply the difference between 'jump in, rough and tumble, kick with the heels and butt with the head', nigger fighting, and this 'grin and look pleasant, dodge and save your wind till you see a chance to land on the solar plexus' style of the trained athlete. Both styles win fights, but the fellow with a little science is a better man, providing he's kept his muscle hard. If he hasn't he's in a bad way, for his fancy sparring is just going to aggrivate the other fellow so that he'll eat him up.
"Of course, some men are like pigs, the more you educate them the more amusing little cusses they become, and the funnier capers they cut when they show off their tricks. Naturally, the place to send a bag of that breed is to the circus, not to college."—Old Gordon Graham (George Horace Lorimer).

WHO'S WHO AT K. U.
Professor F. H. Hodder was born at Aurora, Illinois, November 6, 1860. At the age of 23 he received the degree of Master of Philosophy from the University of Michigan. Later he studied in Gottening and Freiburg. He became assistant professor of chemistry at Cornell University in 1885 and professor of American history at the University of Kansas in 1891.
The hand of the reaper
Takes the ears that are hoary,
But the voice of the reaper
Wails manhood in glory.-Scott
Professor Hodder is a member of the executive council of the American History Association. Among his works as an author are an a "Civil Government of Kansas," published in 1895, and an "Outline Historical Atlas of the United States" which appeared in 1900.
THE OREAD ORACLE
Oread Oracle:
I enrolled as a freshman from Nebraska last fall. I am smart enough, but when called on in class always perspire copiously, blush, and become extremely embarrassed. Is there any way to stop this blushing and self-consciousness?
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
You do not state whether you ever blushed and perspired before you left Nebraska or not. Nebraska is a good place to come from, however, so your condition is probably due to nervousness. It is only natural to perspire somewhat when called upon in class. Oracle suggests, however, that you try wearing a cold sponge on your face.
FRANK HEYWOOD HODDER
As to blushing, there are two ways of stopping this. First, provide some close, intimate friend with a long hat pin. Now, when you are called upon, have this friend insert the pin violently into your person. You will probably perspire a little, but the super-imposed sensation of the pin will cause you to forget your embarrassment and you will not blush. The second way is to saw a hole in your wrist and let your blood run out. After your blood is all out, you will notice that your face has lost its customary flush. This method has certain drawbacks, however, and is usually employed only as a last resort.

Morris—Yes, but the patent expired.
