BLEACHERS AND FIELD
Watching the game is fine sport, but actually playing it is incomparably better. The men of the University of Kansas are getting down from the bleachers this year, and preparing to take a hand in the game themselves.
The third baseball league has just been organized among the students. The Inter-Club league starts out with thirteen teams enrolled, and the probability that several others will join when they see that the league is a reality.
A league of local and honorary fraternities was organized a short time ago, and the Pan-Hellenic league, which has been in operation for several years will again be in the field.
These leagues will add greatly to the interest in the Varsity games, and the service they will render in developing Varsity material for succeeding years should make Kansas ever-victorious in baseball. The benefits which the men who participate will get, in recreation and physical exercise, is beyond computation.
This gives the University three baseball leagues, with twenty-nine teams, in addition to the Varsity and the usual class teams. Alltogether at least five hundred men should be out on the field, either as players or substitutes.
If you are still on the bleachers, get down.
Regarding this "hash-house" baseball series, is Lee's College Inn?
We hope the boarding house cheese will not join in the movement for inter-club baseball.
DATES
Athletic events, student plays, concerts, receptions, and class dances are all of interest to the average student. However, under the present system,—or rather lack of system,—dates often conflict and the student is unable to attend those affairs that he desires. The result is that the college activities do not get the support which they need and deserve.
Last Fall the Men's Student Council engaged down-town halls for class dances throughout the year. The
dates were apportioned among the classes in a way most advantageous to all.
The Daily Kansan proposes that this plan be broadened so as to include all student productions, student dances, reception, etc. Let a committee be selected consisting of representatives of the Men's Student Council, the Women's Student Government Association, and the University Council. Give this committee full power to schedule those affairs of interest to the student body of the University.
A calendar could easily be arranged in this way whereby both students and student activities would be benefitted.
THE CAMPUS AESOP
DOMESTIC SCIENCE AND
The OLD FASHIONED HEN
An intelligent but home-keeping old Hen spent several days visiting her her Speckle at Padbury University, where she did various modest Science. The brilliant pallet enthiasciastically explained the work of the department to her admirable but out-of-date parent.
In the laboratories they watched the pullets dutifully scratching up wax flowers and shrubs in a miniature garden. Speckle proudly called attention to the fact that real earthworms and grubs had been imported into the garden, implying value to add interest and practical value to the courses in scratching.
The gymnasium classes in fancy jumping and dodging were highly entertaining to the old Hen, and she cried, "Speckle, if I weren't so heavy now, I could out-jump all those pullets!"
In the Dietetics class her own Speckle was working a balanced ration of green tomatoes, grasshoppers and gravel and weighing everything by the hundredth part of an ounce from the body by the mile in the form of mathematical equations. The Hen gulped, but resolutely shut her beak on her amazement.
Finally they inspected the work in Home-making. When the old Hen saw several spruce pullets demurely watching incubators, with a watch under one wing and a thermometer under the other, she could contain herself no longer.
"Speckle," she cackled scornfully, "how can any warm-hearted fowl substitute that horrible machine for the pleasure of bringing up her own chickens by wing? And as for the rest of your Domestic Science, don't waste any more time and money here. Haven't I scratched up gardens and jumped fences and hunted grubs and raised chickens all my life without a single day's schooling?"
But Speckle answered patronizingly: "Indeed you have, poor Mamma, and that is the very reason why nobody ever paid you a cent for doing it. Now I'll have a hundred-dollar position as soon as I finish here."
Moral. It often pays to do simple things by an impressively scientific method.

THE OREAD ORACLE
I am a Senior Law, and intend to propose to a young lady as soon as I can bring myself up to the necessary point. Shall I give her some idea of what is coming, or shall I have the whole matter before her at once? I act? I act? I do not think that she suspects anything yet.
(Hopeful).
Oread Oracle:
Oracle cannot urge too much caution in this case. By no means to be too sudden with the lady. Call her up the day before you intend to propose, and give her some idea of what to expect. This will give her time to compose her feelings. Then, when you can keep commenting on how lonesome you are, or how lonesome she is. In most cases it makes no difference. A rash move might spoil everything, so lead up to the proposal by degrees. When you feel certain that the lady knows what you mean place your right arm gently around her neck. Remember that you are not handling a sack of potatoes. She is a shy, timid girl, and you must treat her as such. If her head drops on your shoulder, look closely at her. If she is not asleep, now is the time to propose. This is as far as Oracle can advise, as we have never been accepted.

WANTS A MEMORIAL ARCH Editor Daily Kansan;
"Do you like a man who quotes poetry?"
Having noticed in Tuesday's edition of the Kansan an announcement of a meeting to be held by the members of the senior class for the purpose of deciding upon a memorial. I have planned allowing plan for their consideration;
At the present time the University has no gateway which is recognised as the official entrance to the University campus. Why then, could not the class of 1913 build a gateway similar to those which often mark the entrances to parks or boulevards and place upon it a bronze tablet bearing the numerals of the class. Such a gate, if properly constructed would be suitable as a memorial and in addition would be a decided improvement to the campus. It could be built entirely of the native stone and located on Oread Avenue in front of Meyer's Hall.
The University authorities have already expressed their willingness to furnish the stone for such a structure for the mere cost of hauling to the proper location, and since the stone would be the principal material used, the cost would be comparatively small.
The plan would need to be decided upon by a committee from the class, but, as a suggestion, the gateway would be both simple and attractive if it consisted of four heavy columns, two of which would be on each side of the drive and on opposite sides of the walk. Those on the side of the walk nearest the street, could be made somewhat larger than the others and, if the class wished, all of the columns could be mounted with ornamental iron or electric lights. In one of the columns could be placed an iron box containing the names of the members of the class together with any records that they might wish to leave. The bronze plate bearing the numerals could also be inserted into this form. It might even be suggested that the 1913 Jayhawker be placed in such a box, for it would be the most complete record that could be obtained. If plans for a gate of this kind were decided upon at once and the construction started, it could be completed before Commencement and a very appropriate ceremony at that time would be the dedication of the gateway by the graduating class
