K. S. A. C. AND K. U.
In its account of the third game of the Kansas-Nebraska basket-ball series played in Manhattan the Students' Herald of the State Agricultural College says in part:
"The Kansans had things all their own way. The Nebraska team tired early in the first half and simply stayed in the game by hanging to the alert Jayhawkers. It is indeed difficult to see how the Nebraska five ever walloped the Lawrence team. . . All through the contest Aggies forgot old time rivalry with K. U. and pulled for the state."
Which is as it should be. The idea that the Agricultural College and the University are enemies is a false one. Such occasions, as the above serve to bring out the real feeling between the schools.
And why shouldn't we be working together? Many of us came from adjoining farms, or perhaps live across the street from each other.
We are all Kansans and the state comes before everything else. There is a wholesome rivalry between the Aggies and us and both schools are the better for it. The student who will not stand up and fight for his school in football or any other contest is not worthy of the name.
But let the Cornhuskers or the Tigers or any other outsiders come against either K. U. or K. S. A. C and the real feeling between the institutions comes to the surface.
The admittance of the Aggies to the Missouri Valley conference will bring us into closer relations in athletics. Naturally we will have rivalry and lots of it in the contests between the schools but it will be the good-natured sort that will only intensify the feeling that we are all from Kansas.
The light fantastic seems to have really been tripped at last.
Reno and Sterling picked the plums. It is to be supposed that the other teams plucked the lemons.
A NEW VIEW OF GRINDS
So much has been said about the grind, to his discredit, that most of us had forgotten that there could be another side of the much abused specimen of college life. In Missouri they have a different way of looking at it, presenting a point in this connection that may cause some of us to stop and think twice.
"I didn't get any 'E's' last semester because there were so many
grinds in my classes. I wouldn't be a grind."
You've said that many times, but did you ever think what it meant to be a grind? Didn't it ever occur to you that the men who are at the top of the ladder are the grinds while the men who take life easier are down where the ladder is crowded?
Among the leading men of today, none is more conspicuous than Thomas A. Edison. But he is a grind, a grind of the worst—or best—type. He works for days on things he invents, hardly taking time for meals. Rarely does he get up in the morning to sleep of a day. Has it paid him? has brought him the title of the greatest inventor of the world.
Of the great journalists of the world, Joseph Pulitzer stands among the highest. But he was a grind. He read so much that he became blind while a middle-aged man. He was grinding away in an effort to win the respect of his readers; he studied several hours in making a choice between two words to use in expressing an editorial thought. But it paid him in honor and wealth.
Another striking example of the grids is Napoleon Bonaparte. He was continually planning new maneuvers to wha a battle. He was always working out new ways to build up his empire. He is quoted as saying: "Three hours sleep is enough for Napoleon, him he brought him the title of the greatest general the world has ever known.
Take the man that you know who are leaders in their works, and you will find that they are grids. You will find fairly successful men who not worked so hard but you will not find them at the top of the ladder.
If you want to lead in your life work, you had better begin to grind now. If you are not a grind before you are 30 years old there is no chance of your being one."

Newton High paid fifteen dollars to telegraph a single yell to their team during the tournament. Which reminds us that for $14.98, they could have had the support of a dozen of the noisiest men on the hill.
One of the things that is going to hurt the University Exposition is the fact that it gives no extra holiday. Even the smallest county fairs have a special students' day.
Many laws and engineers are cutting classes this week to attend the meetings of the Institute of Religious Education.
"A GOLD MINE UNDER FOOT"
Last week the entire news staff of the Chicago Daily Maroon exchanged with that of the Gary Indian Tribune for a day, and the undergraduate writers issued a real twelve page newspaper on schedule time, while the professional staff, from society editor to the police reporter, reveled in the publication of the five-column college daily. The following editorial from the pen of the college-editor-for-a-day is the result:
Metropolitan papers frequently do not permit their reporters to enter the press room and the mysteries of the "make-up" are known only to the "boss" and a few helpers. All of the other little angles whose absence may render an experienced metropolitan reporter incapable of looking after the actual printing of a paper are unfolded in work on the Daily Maroon.
This is an editorial written in the regretful mood by one who achieved the position of campus reporter after six months of desultory work, and then struck out of college into real newspaper work. In two weeks he learned that he had missed by not taking advantage of the Daily Maroon, and after three years of experience on big city papers and some time in the Associated Press he is still learning.
If the college man is going into newspaper work, why waste a year out of college simply picking up the routine?

Editor Daily Kansan:
Put me down as heartily in favor of the seniors erecting a stone fence on the campus as a class memorial. The question of expense will be insignificant, and it is simply a question of the willingness of the seniors to use a little of their strength to help them learn for their alma mater. The seniors surely have enough class and University spirit to cause them to rally to the support of the plan. Here's one who will be glad to work.
THE CAMPUS AESOP
THE BURDENED STUDENT
A lively lonely donkey was sent to college by an ambitious mother; he went up for matriculation, bearer of the diploma, teachers might put his needed books.
They gathered eagerly about him, each striving to the be stole one to fill the panniers. The mathematics teacher dumped in several algebraes, trigonometries and notebooks. The language professors piled in some tremendous dictionaries, many grammars, exercise books and classics, a chapter on whether he laughed with a quart of ink, a dozen pens, aREAM of theme paper, and the collected works of several authors.
Senior.
By this time a sympathetic onlooker could no longer control his indignant pity, "Why," he cried, "the poor beast is almost invisible under his skin. So you will crush him to death!" But the wise old teacher only laughed.
—The Siren.
Just at that moment the coach's whistle sounded from the athletic field, announcing the first kick-off of the season. Then donkey's cars gave one ecstatic rolling back, and away he plunged, rolling bucking, and kicking his bucket, for frettil he reached the athletic field, freed all his burden.
Moral. Very few students die of a curriculum.

THE MODERN IDEA
Pig-Why is Mr. Rooster so blue? Turkey—Good heavens, why shouldn't he be? His wife has already made him change his name to Mr. Hen, has taken all his finest feathers but one, and says that unless he lays three eggs by evening, she'll punch his nose.
