One may smile and smile and be a villian.—Shakespeare.
We suggest that if the commission form of government be adopted the state give the legislative halls to the University for a chapel room.
Wonder how the famous "democratic spirit of Yale" will mix with Prof. William Howard Taft?
7 WONDERS—7
Seven has always been a romantic number. There are seven stars in the big dipper. An old man down in southern Kansas swears by the "Seven Knot Holes in the Kraft Barrel," there were seven years of famine and seven years of plenty in Egypt when Joseph proved himself so valuable. But this seven is still a characteristic number in civilization. For instance—there are seven wonders on the University campus.
Suppose some stranger had heard of these seven wonders and some day as you were strolling down by the Museum, would puff up Adams street and ask to be shown the famous seven wonders. In this case what would you steer him to first? In nine cases out of ten you would seize him by the arm and drag him under the shadow of P. C. and with Pride point a lengthy index finger at the smiling face of that celebrity. Mr. P. C., since the pigeons were chased out of his gizzard a year ago, has never failed in his lofty movement except the morning when the icicles hung like snow whiskers under his shivering chin. Yes, P. C. would be the first wonder to show him.
But here, how much farther can we go? The Daily Kansan hesitates to take any further responsibility and respectfully solicits the other six wonders from the student body. We might give a prize if the selection were good enough.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Professor Gerald Birney Smith of the University of Chicago will lecture before the students of the University of Kansas March 14-20 on Religion and Social Ideals. Professor Smith has just finished a similar series of lectures at Yale. The University has gone to a great deal of expense to secure this lecturer and others of equal note, and in the past they have been characterized by a lack of interest and attendance on the part of the student body.
As students in a great university, preparing ourselves as best we can to take our rightful places in the
cultured society of the nation, we owe it to ourselves to attend these and similar lectures.
No one should stay away because of trammeled beliefs. The lectures should be attended from the standpoint of students who are in search of general knowledge of every kind
of general knowledge of every kind Religious subjects are especially hard to present to the people because the people are loath to listen. The generally conceded belief that every man has a right to his own religious opinion has probably caused this fact to be true. We as students know that sufficient study of any subject is both revealing and gratifying. Why not attend these lectures by men who have made a life study of their subject? Surely we are not waiting for better authorities.
Our sanctum sanctorum was invaded yesterday by a laundry collector. Hereafter all peddlers and agents must apply in the rear.
A student was heard in Fraser yesterday wearing low tan shoes and lavender socks. Can't something be done to stop this?
PROMOTING EXERCISE
With several sports now going on in full blast and more on the way, the class athlete may well be said to have come into his own. This brings up the question of how liberally the rules governing participation in class athletics should be interpreted.
When a man is placed on probation or on the warned list because of his scholastic work, his right to play on class teams is thereby forfeited, but a rule of the board of regents gives his respective dean the power to waive the general rule if he sees fit to do so. In at least one department of the university the rule is always waived if it appears from a survey of the circumstances that the scholastic grade of the man in question is not due to lack of application. The strict observance of the eligibility rules occurs only in those cases where probation or warning is the result of the man's inattention to the department's requirements.
This liberal interpretation of the eligibility rules should be the policy of all department heads. Oftentimes, the cause for low scholastic work can be explained by the maxim "all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy." In other words, a healthy body is a prerequisite for a healthy mind, and the one should be healthy, and the one should be the other. Class athletes take life to their titipant's time, in the majority of cases, and are instrumental in the giving of beneficial exercise to hundreds of men who otherwise would not give this fundamental need a second thought—Michigan Daily.

The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
FROM THE RUBAIYAT
Oh, but the long, long while the World shall last,
When You and I behind he Veil are past.
Which of our Coming and Departure heeds
Ah, but my Computations, People say,
As the Sea's self should heed a pebble cast.
Ticas only striking from the Calendar
Strange, is it not? That of the myriads who
Unborn Tomorrow, and dead Yester day.
Not one returns to tell us of the Road

The fox, at the beginning of his junior year in the University of Animals, decided to run for class president. He had wished to run for office but, but circumstances had never appeared favorable.
100d.
Which to discover we must travel too.
THE CAMPUS AESOP
Accordingly when the caucus of the faction to which he belonged was held, he attended and took as many of his friends as possible. His friend, the civet civet, proposed his name for president, praising his cleverness.
The shepherd dog, renowned for his frankness, rose and in a somewhat embarrassed manner objected to the nomination.
"The fox will never do," he said. "He is known to be sharp and clever, but he has a reputation for not being strictly honest. He is smart and capable, but he has never done his own work since he has been here. He copies his notebooks from others, from friends, from his neighbor's paper or from the book. Such a candidate we do not want."
The other animals agreed to the shepherd's statement with such acclaim that the fox knew his cause but hopeless and slunk from the room.
Moral: "More than cleverness," he mused bitterly, "is necessary to win
A Cub.
STUDENT OPINION
Now our Physiology Professors and others tell us that lock-jaw and other very fatal diseases arise from just such things by getting dirt in sores and skin abrasions. This is bit of neglect, then, not a menace to the health of our athletes when they are working for the honor of the University on the mat and could it not be corrected before it is too late?
GRAPPLE WITH THIS Editor Daily Kansan:
Has the editor ever been in the wrestling room of the Gym and, while wrestling, had the skin taken off his shins and elbows? Has he ever suffered from the sores that stay with him for about two or three weeks and which often result in a facial laceration? In the memory of the oldest inhabitant, the padding in this cell has never been changed and has been cleaned only superficially and consequently not very thoroughly.
The School of Journalism at the University of Missouri sent its students to Kansas City to inspect the various printing plants. Previous to this trip the students visited the plants in St. Louis.

TAKO SOKO
Han Editi
In Hon. Weather Report for this wk. I are delightful to refute that everything are O. K. along banks of Hon. Old & Stingy, xcept 1 respec. Yours truly visited those Library Reading Room 1 Day last Tuesday, and become deeply disgust for it. Hon Ed., I inquire fondly if these answers are the correct answer are, "Nay! Nay!"!) These注意的是 not come-across soon with, something are to be doing, for it have got on my Hon. Goat.
After chapple 1 moring about 10 A. D., Yours truly maks ingress to those Reading room for-sake of looking references in Sporting Dope & also Mutt and Eiffel. In vainness I roll eye around for finding place to Hang Hat and Cat, & so spread Pancake on top of 16 others which inhabit top of young table about 7 by 2½ lbs.
Hon. Ed. I are hardly stung! Pretty soon somebody ring Hon. Doorbell, & everybody make outgo to see about it, I guess. 73 Genta mak bargain-counter rush for those Wrappings, & are wrung dry in the mix-up. Somebody have once remarked they should copy same place at same time of day," but they are proved unright, & I are from Miss. on this.
When I are at last squeezed forward, I mak excavation where I have deposited those Derby. All that are remained of those Derby (which only 2 yrs. ago priced me $2.29) look pretty homesick, and resemble 30c. Those upper coat are studied more deeply. The over are Hon, covering marked "No. 44 Monnett," which fit only in sections.
TAKO SOKO.
Hon. Ed. I reign if this are righteous in Christian Institute of Learn? Maybe it are o. K. for those to get their 1st, however, next time Yours Truly are going to take along Hon. Suitcase. Your Humble Servant,
P. s.-Ly: Somebody imbibe that reforming are begun, and only must go through 47 miles,Hon. Red Tape. (I don't know much about these Tape,how I guess it are what Hon.Faculty employ to rope-in those $ bills.) T. S.

BIBLE STUDY
In many of the fraternity houses and club houses an hour was given over last evening to consideration of the Bible. Members of the faculty met with various groups for the purpose of interesting the student group members in a Lenten consideration of the Bible. The meetings were the first of a series to continue throughout the remaining weeks before Easter.
Of course it is not expected that an exhaustive study can be made, even of one book of Scriptures, in the short time allotted for the series of meetings. But what can be fostered, and in many instances created, is the need to make certainures among men who are prone to neglect the reading of their Bibles.
The Bible is the official document of Christianity. Should not a man, then be familiar with the Bible? If he has formulated his own religion, personal or established, should he not be familiar with the Scriptures?
Truly a man's religion is personal. A man may accept no established creed and be a Christian. A man may believe firmly in an established creed and be a Christian. But in any man's religion, should not the Bible be a factor?
