"A man can never be a true gentleman in manner until he is a true gentleman at heart."—Dickens.
Even the butter at the boarding house tables is strong for the proposed inter-club baseball league.
A student appeared bareheaded on the hill this morning. Other signs to the contrary notwithstanding, spring is here.
DANCE REGULATION
Those students who are greatly alarmed by the new regulations for dances at the University may calm their fears. It does not seem likely that the rights and privileges of the undergraduates of this institution will suffer to any noticeable degree
The new provisions, in the main, simply put into written form those conventions which the students have observed in their parties. The rules are the same which apply at other universities, and are not designed to prevent the holding of student dances or to make irksome restrictions.
The new regulations will also prevent the use of the name of the University in connection with dances which are given by outsiders for profit only, and which might be a source of scandal and misunderstanding.
Unregulated social affairs have given those who were not acquainted with conditions at the University a chance to spread stories which were not only untruthful, but actually injurious to the good name of the institution. Supervision will make the circulation of such stories impossible, and put us in the proper attitude toward the people of the state.
It is a matter of congratulation that these regulations, come not because there are improper conditions in the dances given by University organizations, but because the students and faculty feel that the moral standing of the University of Kansas must be above suspicion.
The papers are announcing that K. U. students will eat two-year-eggs, as though that were an unusual occurrence here.
One professor says that small students are better mathematicians than large ones. It's the little things that really count, after all.
DON'T LIGHT UP YET
Smokers who were rejoicing that the Men's Student Council had repealed the rule forbidden smoking in any University building may be sadly disappointed.
The Board of Regents, it chances,
is responsible for the anti-smoking
restriction, and the Student Council
has but little more authority in this
matter, excepting in punishing orenders, than does the freshman cap committee.
If the Council really wants to win the undying gratitude of its constituents it should revise the tariff or appropriate enough money from the state treasury to finish the Administration building.
If anything should happen to take the "lawski" out of the name of Boguslawski, the violinist who appears in Kansas City this week, we predict that he would prove to be a fake.
CHAT BASEBALL GERM
THAT BASEBALL GERM Indoor baseball practice—though indeed very necessary—will soon give way to that more enticing outdoor work with its preliminary games and later contests. If the University is to have a winning baseball team now is the time for every man who would rather be on the diamond than in the bleachers to appear on McCook field.
There have not been enough men out up to this time to form two practice teams. Without men, and lots of them, we cannot ask our coaches to produce a team to beat Missouri, Nebraska and our other diamond opponents.
The team represents the University of Kansas. Let's make it represent the best baseball material in the institution. Every man should try out. Do this and we will be proud of the result.
TRADITIONS
"College tradition adds its distinctive and forceful factor to the campus life of the undergraduate, particularly in the older seats of learning. A good tradition makes it easy to accomplish things worth while without the spasmatic campaigns that characterize many younger institutions. Students are often more zealous to uphold the ancient customs of their college than anything else connected with it. The annual conflicts between freshmen and sophomores have become a part of the institution. Certain traditional habits, often humorous, sometimes doubtful, in character, have grown up in nearly every North American college. An old account of life at Cambridge tells of the manner in which both occupant and furniture of a freshman's room were menaced by a missile as big as a cantaloupe that was thrown into the room, and used as a "transmitter" (it went down to the room), and was handed down in such forcible manner from one generation of freshmen to another. The desire to link the past with the present at Harvard is also shown in the custom of registering the name of each occupant on the doors of certain old frame buildings long used as lodging houses by students. The old college pump has been a traditional means of graze to many freshmen, and the custom restriction to upper classmates of caps, canes, and pipes has added pugilistic zest to understudy life."
—Clayton Sedgwick Cooper in "Why Go to College."
THE CAMPUS AESOP
THE SOPHOMORE AND THE TWO MAIDENS
The Highbrow was a Soullful Senior with Ideals like Cartilege Stretchers. She emptied one box of Mennen's and two dictionaryes a year. Her Creed was that a Man is sure to love the Girl who is Strong where he is weak. So she made herself a Walking Library with Lecture-room attached, all for the Sophomore's Sake. And he kindly let her work off his Faith. Condenses and writes his Term Paper. He goes to Germany. When he gave her a Job that tilted till two a.m., she tasted pure bliss. He was just as Happy and Comfy with her as a Little Boy at church with an Old Maid Aunt.
Now, the Clinging Vine was a Frivolous Freshman, with more Curls than Convolutions. She knew that He knew she was Just Dear. He knew that She knew he was Handsome and Brave and Wise. They rode the same Anabasis Pony and he held her on, for it was his Second Triip.
A Certain Sophomore was beloved by Two Maidens, a Highbrow, and a Clinging Vine.
Contrary to all Reason and Justice, the Clinging Vine won the Ring. Moral: A woman should always Look Up to a Man, even if she has to Sit Down to do it. —E.H.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
A still small voice spake unto me,
"Thou art so full of misery
Were is not better not to be?"
Then to the still small voice I said,
"Let me not cast in endless shade
What is so wonderfully made."
STUDENT OPINION
Students are invited to express their opinions. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of a name.
THOSE DANCES AGAIN
The Student Council seems to have seen made the goat in the recent action taken in regard to dances. After the council had ratified the report of the Social Affairs committee the University council amended the rules by adopting them and have made no objection matter to the Student Council again
The only way for the matter to be taken up now is for the Student Council to petition the University Council to reconsider its action. The move of the University Council is a direct blow at student self-government.
As the matter now stands every time that any organization wishes to hold a formal party they must fight out the question of a time limit with the members of the University Council. Several of these members are known to be in favor of closing every dance, of no matter what nature, at twelve o'clock and should they be in the majority at the time the application was filed that particular dance would close promptly at midnight.
Chancellor Strong is known to be opposed to the amendments leaving the time limit for the Junior Prom, Sophomore Hop, farewell parties and all other formal dances during the year to individual action by the University Council. He favors a fixed time for such dances to close right for the Social Affairs committee to make exceptions to the rulings.
The action of the University Council is changing the provisions of the resolution after sending it to the Student Council for ratification was unfair to that body as the members were put in the position of sanctioning matters of which they had no knowledge.
Such actions injure student self-government and tend to destroy the prestige and authority of the Student Council itself.
