Man is more childlike than woman—Nietsche.
College life has its disappointments. The check that enables you to ask Her to go to the Prom seldom comes before it is too late.
PROM DATES
The annual call for Prom dates has been sent out. Each spring the tardy ones must be reminded that there are only 'steen fussing days before the big event. Early dates insure a better Prom. The managers are able to estimate more closely the money at their disposal and the arrangements can be made with more certainty and care.
Even if the check from home has not arrived take a chance and ask her right away. To make the Prom the "best ever" we should start in by settling the date business now.
Not to mention a dearth of "wings" and "soup bones."
The inter-club baseball club is a good one. Ought to be enough plates and pitchers to go round.
OUR DANCES
The University council seems to have stirred up a hornet's nest of criticism by its ruling in regard to giving and attending dances by the students of the University. Even the members of the student council, who are supposed to have ratified the report of the committee on Student Social Affairs seem to be in doubt as to what provisions they endorsed and what ones were added later by the University council.
Most of the criticisms of the council's action have been directed toward the provision forbidding any student to attend a dancing party during a session of the University, which is thrown open to the public at a fixed price. There has also been criticism of the University council for passing on a matter which comes under the jurisdiction of the student council.
The matter is not yet definitely settled and until it is all discussion is futile. The Social Affairs committee submitted its plans to the student council and they were ratified. The original draft did not forbid attendance at subscription dances but this change was made in an amendment. Members of the student council and faculty differ as to the author of the amendment.
It is the opinion of the Daily Kansas, without considering the question of jurisdiction and responsibility for the rules, that there has been no cause for the passing of such measures. Their adoption implies improper conditions now existing and reflects upon the conduct of the student body.
The ruling that the University name must not be used in connection with outside dances is a good one. The week night dances are the only ones that can be criticised and they are not University affairs in any sense of the word. If minor evils exist it is not necessary to pass such sweeping rulings to correct them.
The Daily Kansan hopes that the matter will be threshed out between the two councils and that neither the rights of the students nor the jurisdiction of the student council will be infringed upon.
"Everything looks rosy," chuckled the stude as he glanced at the headline which put the ban on flowers for the Prom.
COMING—OUR WORLD'S FAIR
OUR WORLD'S FAIR With March over half gone, how many students are there who can say that they have any definite idea concerning the plans for the University Exposition which is to be held here May 2 and 3? Or rather, how many have ideas on how to make the affair successful?
The University will be on trial, so to speak, and you, as a student will be in the role of defendant. We have taken it upon ourselves to show the people that we amount to something, and it is up to us to make good when the aforesaid people come to look over our good points.
If you hear of any clever ideas lurking about, or if you have any that are your very own, let them come forth. The University needs them.
NO FLOWERS?
The question of flowers at the Minnesota junior prom has arisen this year after several years of successful proms without flowers. The Minnesota Daily has the following to say on the matter:
The whole idea is wrong, and is based upon nothing better than the unwholesome and vulgar object of displaying wealth on the part of those men to whom the additional expenditure of five or six dollars means nothing. The university long ago decided that flowers are an unnecessary adjunct to a successful party, and there has been a growing tendency to eliminate all objectionable extravagances and to bring the cost within the means of the average student. The movement has not made much progress this year, but it should not be permitted to lose ground. The officers of the J. B. Association announced sometime ago that in accordance with custom flowers would be tabooed, and if the mobbish few persist in their plan of sending flowers, they should be refused admittance to the ball-room. We believe that our formal parties are an essential element in the social life of the university, that they are good for us and for the community, but there is always danger of the extreme. Minnesota's J. B., Senior Prom and Military Ball have escaped many of the charges that have been entered against like
We believe that our formal parties are an essential element in the social life of the university, that they are good for us and for the community, but there is always danger of the extreme. Minnesota's J. B., Senior Prom and Military Ball have escaped many of the charges that have been entered against like parties in other colleges, and we cannot afford to subject them to new criticism.

And, as the cook crew, those whi stood before

I know none time will see here to stay.
I should have grown up without you.
IN DAYS OF OLD
Wherefore the recent ruling on the part of the University Council against attendance at all dances which do not come under their control? I am over twenty-one years of age, able bodied and intelligent enough to be allowed to toddle around without a guardian, and it is this that is an infringement on my right to a freeform American citizen. By what right can a group of professors legislate on intimate affairs of my life, and tell me where I can go or cannot go in my spare hours?

Squealing.
NO FINAL QUIZZES?
Editor Daily Kansan:
Are the Seniors going to take any action toward having the faculty excuse from the final examinations all seniors who have made a reasonable average grade? I heartily endorse the editorial position taken by the Kansas in the matter, and think arguments present for the scheme are very logical clearly expressed. What reasons can any advance against such a scheme? "Excuse the Seniors from final exams," for a battle- cry.
"Dig."
Eva-That's the only way she can get her hand squeezed.

The Quill club had a meeting last Tuesday at five o'clock. Papers were presented by Fred Barnett and Miss Blue.
The tournament to decide the ping pong championship of the University was played Friday night on the billiard tables at Monk's. Roy Feitshans won the tournament, defeating his opponents in straight sets. His use of the various tennis strokes on the ping pong balls was something impossible. Among those who made credible showing were Clarence Powell, who reached the finals, also Vinton Clifford and Fry.
Preparations are being made for track meets west of Snow hall. All track meets in the future will occur there. The preparations will cover accommodations for high-jump, pole vault, and jump throw, shot put, and broad lump.
C. L. Edson is at work upon a humorous lecture embracing a number of his own poems which he intends to spring upon the University, public soon. No stone should be left unturned in the effort to head Edson off from this dastardly deed. The attention of the Chancellor should be called to this matter and stringent measures are recommended. I am confident that this is the Mild Eyed Poet's last term in school and his poetry reading scheme is unobdettely a low down method he is taking for averaging himself for all the fancied injuries at the hands of his fellow-men.
