WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, 1913.
Oh how hard it is to die, and not able to leave the world any better for one's little life in it.
THE JAYHAWKER "GOAT"
One professor in the jail is nothing—absolutely nothing. Last week Professor Helleberg and his whole class were in the state penitentiary.
The brow of Manager Hobson of the 1913 Jayhawker is growing furrowed and his hair is graying around the edges. He hopes, however, that he will succeed in making the annual pay out. The receipts for the annual last year lacked the trifling sum of $800 of paying the cost of producing the book—not an encouraging reminder for him.
It is obvious that a new method of financing the annual must be devised or a return made to the smaller and cheaper books of former years. The present system throws too much risk on the shoulders of the manager and makes him most decidedly the "goat."
A committee of juniors is now working out a plan which will give the manager an idea of what he can expect in the way of finances before he makes his contracts and starts the work. The plan aims to place the responsibility on the class which issues the annual rather than on the manager.
They have the opportunity of inaugurating a new and better era for The Jayhawker.
A mass meeting of the class will meet soon to consider the proposals of the committee. At that time the question of what the members of the class wish in the way of a year book will be checked squarely up to them.
Speaking of quarantining, there are still several cases running at large on the hill.
We desire to inform our readers that the abbreviation, "H. Ballists" does not mean high ballists.
A MISPLACED TRUST
Is there an unpardonable sin at the University of Kansas? If there be such it is surely the betraying of a trust.
What would happen to a man who would steal a "K" granted to a football man and appear on the campus wearing it? Laws and engineers would forget former troubles and the men of all the schools would join in punishing the offender.
Last fall reserve letters were granted to several of the football squad who had not played e to be awarded the official "K." Some of these men have removed the qualifying letters of the insignia and
are wearing the red "K" alone. Thus they pose as "K" men when in reality they are not. Their action is entirely opposed to the spirit in which the reserve letters were granted and the Athletic Board has acted wisely in notifying such offenders that unless the original insignia are restored immediately the reserve letters will be withdrawn. There should be no hesitation in carrying out this resolution.
These men have taken advantage of their position and have broken a trust—they have broken faith with the Athletic Board. Unless they correct the present injustice they should be made to suffer for the wrong they have done.
The attendance at chapel yesterday was unusually large when Registrar Foster spoke on "Flunks and Flunkers." Perhaps everyone feared that the Registrar was going to refer to him.
SPRING FOOTBALL SPIRIT
The interest shown these days in a winning football team for next fall is truly remarkable. One day recently three men appeared for practice and the coach has announced that unless there is a decided increase in the interest, spring football practice will be numbered among the relics of the past.
It is truly a matter for congratulation that the men who will be candidates for the team next fall, already know so much about football that they have nothing more to learn. With such recruits there is no doubt of having an ever victorious team. Playing football, you know, is a matter of inspiration, and not one where careful training or knowledge count.
Ambitions are hazy and loafing is pleasant on warm spring days.
One student is persistently advertising for a misplaced blue chinchill cap. What's a freshman doing with more than one of those caps, anyway?
LEARN TO PLAY
The spring vacation is over now and the only prospect ahead is dig and fight the "spring fever" and the "call o' the campus." Not the most cherry feeling in the world is it, that "after vacation feeling" especially "after the spring vacation feeling" but it need not be so bad if we could take our vacations in more of a play spirit.
We have all heard often enough that the one trouble with the American people is that they do not know how to play and a careful observer might note that students do not know how to enjoy a vacation either. Some plan to see how much they can get done of hard work and study during vacation; others go on one long "tear of a time" and must spend a week resting up afterwards to meet their normality, while a few others seem to strike a happy medium and have a "lark" or so, or some time to spend with close friends and some quiet hours to read and be alone.
However, there's no use talking of how to spend the vacation that's past. One of the greatest accomplishments one could acquire in college days would be the art of playing. One thing to learn would be to play a little each day, a long vacation may be as harmful as none, and another thing would be to play hard while one plays and forget for the time being everything hard and unpleasant and dutious.
We know we must study, we must work, committees, we must—a thousand things but lets learn to play, it will be worth something in our life outside as well as in college. Come on then, you college man, take that grouch out on the tennis court in a fast game instead of a crowd of people in a stuff little room. You college girl, instead of giving up to the blue thunder that make some people in an apre seize, make some fudge and laugh like a six year old maid while you're at it; or put on your sweater and walk to the woods. You won't be blue when you get back and you can study too.
Let's not be so serious all the time and so sober and wrinkled and old. Let's be Rooseveltian in our working and playing—Wesleyan Advance.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE

STUDENT OPINION
Students are invited to express their opinions. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, as an indication of good faith.
In your editorial on "Perfectly Ladylike Rooting" you said that there were a few freshmen "who found it necessary to express their emotions" at the first baseball games of the season.
Editor Daily Kansan;
As I was one of the freshmen thus accused I wish to most humbly apologize for my enthusiasm. Last Fall the freshman who could yell the loudest was welcomed on McCook. Naturally I supposed that a little "talk" was allowed at a baseball game also.
I sincerely feel the inconsistencies of my reasoning processes and promise that I will profit by my experiences—unless, as you suggest, the student body decides to support the team.

A telephone girl?

Neither—it's a calling.

I should call mother.

Don't you think it's cruel to cut off a dog's poor little tail?

But mother is in Chicago.

Why, yes—it's one of yours.
But my hair is blonde.
Well, I haven't worn this coat for
