“A page digested is better than a
volume hurriedly read.”—Macaulay.
What's the matter with the chess tournament? Isn't it about time for somebody to move again?
The sophomores are to stage "The Elevator." Taken in connection with the Thespian's presentation of "The Aviator," this indicates that the movement for the uplift of the stage is receiving quite a boost at the University.
WHICH CLASS NEXT?
A class smoker—a real class smoker with its stunts, its talks, and its good fellowship—was held by the sophomores just before the Easter vacation.
A success in every respect, it thus paves the way for other such affairs and a consequent feeling of unity which has hitherto been lacking. The University of Kansas has been known as a democratic institution. To really deserve that distinction there must be more interests common to all the men of the University. There must be more opportunities for them to get together on a common footing.
The sophomores have led the way. The men who attended the smoker are enthusiastic over the lead which their class has taken. Only nine weeks remain after this week until final quizzes and any plans for class affairs must materialize quickly if they are to accomplish their object.
Personally, it would be necessary for us to have a pretty bad cold be fore we would tackle a two year old egg.
Is there any connection between the fact that the proposed University Club is to be a gentleman's club and the fact that undergraduates are not eligible?
A BOOST FOR KANSAS
Editorial in the Editor and Publisher.
State colleges and universities naturally have a greater responsibility resting upon them in their relations to the people of the state than other institutions, because they are supported by the commonwealth and tax payers. This entitles his share of the expense. To give back to the people an adequate return for their money is one way of insuring a combination of the annual appropriation.
The men who have been instrumental in establishing schools of journalism in connection with many of the state universities have not limited the scope of these institutions to the education of youth in newswriting, reporting and filming them a wider field of usefulness by giving practical help to adults.
The University of Kansas is the first to show what can be done in this direction. The department of journalism has placed its equipment and
resources at the service of the news paper publishers of the state. It maintains a clearing house where buyers and sellers of Kansas newspaper properties may get together. It assists printers in estimating technical jobs. It furnishes cost system data and if the legislature permits will serve as help instill cost systems and promote efficiency in country offices.
It uses its monotype at odd hours to cast up job type which it exchanges for the Kansas editors' worn out type, the only expense being a dollar. It also weights for the actual time spent in weighing, sorting, packing and shipping.
Is there any doubt as to the benefits which such a service will confer upon Kansas journalism? Will it not enable the publishers to put out better and more attractive newspapers, help them to make more money while increasing the efficiency of their plants? Will not the standard of journalism in the state be advanced to a higher level and will not all Kansans be directly benefited?
Let us hope that the other colleges and universities of the country, in which schools of journalism are maintained, will follow the example of the University of Kansas.
With the Parcel Post installed on the hill, fudge can now be received from home at a nominal cost.
IT'S UP TO THE SENIORS
Will the seniors of 1913 leave a class memorial on Mt. Oread?
Within a week the senior president will call a meeting to determine the desire of the class in regard to this proposition. Several good plans have been proposed by those interested in the project. From among these and any other plans that may be proposed the best, the most appropriate, should be selected.
Surely the fourth year class can make the effort and sacrifice necessary to leave something on the campus as a mark to future classes—to show them that 1913 was a year when things were done at the University of Kansas.
THE CAMPUS AESOP
One day a chicken was wandering over the campus. He was a typical chicken, and as he strolled along the cinder road he now and then stretched to his full height and sent his chantaclear call into the ether.
Now as this chicken had wandered down to the Library, "Tubby" Hutt came bubbling up Oread avenue in his forty-five horsepower wheelbarrow. Brer Chicken stood on the library side of the road until the speeding vehicle approached within twenty feet of him, and then in true chicken fashion started to cross the road.
There was a flurry of feathers and when the dust had cleared away, a headless chicken flopped upon the ground.
Moral: When you see an examination or anything else dangerous approaching don't wait until the last moment.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
Be calm in arguing, for permeant makes
More than his sickness or his poverty?
I love I love, but anger is not love,
Nor wisdom neither; therefore gently
move.
Error is fault and truth discourtesy.
Why should I feel one another's mis-
George Herbert.
STUDENT OPINION
Students are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith.
Why can't the girls here have a suffrage parade during the Exposition in May? While it is true that the women of Kansas have the right of suffrage now, still I think that such a thing would do much towards helping the cause outside of the state. If entered into with the right spirit it would undoubtedly receive much publicity, and the cause would be advanced that much. Many of us girls are anxious to help out this great cause, and I think that here would be a good chance to show our loyalty. If the sentiment of the student body is with us, why can't some such thing be done during the Exposition?
Editor Daily Kansan:
E Pluribus Unum.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Enter—a new era in track and field athletics at the University of Kansas.
For years some students have contended that this branch of sport would not receive the support of the student body until we beat Missouri in Convention Hall. Others have said that we would never beat Missouri in the indoor meet until the students gave their support.
The former have vindicated their position or at least the latter have been proven wrong. Without the active support of the student body our track squad has gone to Kansas City and walloped Missouo. Now let's get the football team out there, should the football team and show the men we're with them win or lose.
"Enthusiastic."
Right you are that there are "seven wonders of the University campus," but as you suggest the responsibility of naming these is considerable.
Editor Daily Kansan:
But now let me suggest as wonder number 2 that ancient animal, triceratops, who receives guests on the third floor of the natural history museum—that same triceratops who heard the whistle 1,000,000 years ago.
"Peeved."
Last year if a stranger should have inquired for the seven wonders, the writer after pointing to the P. C., would have led the visitor to the basement of the Ad. building. There he would have beheld Susie and her two companies, those very canines which gave Professor Dockeray such wide publicity and which incurred the wrath of certain profs, less scientifically inclined. But these dogs—the real intellectual pups—are no more as far as Mt. Oread is concerned.
In a recent issue the Daily Kansan speaks sarcastically of the "annual renunciation of cabs and flowers for the Junior Prom" by the girls of the Junior class. I feel that an injustice is being done us. We realize that the aforesaid renunciation has taken place before without accomplish its object. Nevertheless its failure is due to the men and not to the women of the University. When we said "thumbs down" on cabs and flowers we meant exactly that. Let the men take us at our word and these "enemies" of the student pockebook will be mildly but effectively dispensed with.

SEEN AT A MODERN DANCE
The Turkey Trot-ted silently away when it saw the Airplane Dip; the Grizzley Bear gave a low, plaintive sigh, curled up, and expired; the Crab Crawl-d back into his hole, and the Gaby Glide-d softly out of sight; the Jelly Roll-up and disappeared, while the Crocodile Clutch-ed its tail between its teeth, shuddered convulsily, and swallowed itself; the Chicken Flip-ped back into the chicken house, and a painful silence prevailed, broken only by the admonition of the caller to secure pardners for the next set.
