WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1913.
The scholar in these times should believe all he can—March.
Again the Jinx is after our holidays. Easter comes on Sunday this year.
Good morning, professor, when do YOU leave?
OUR VISITORS
On Friday and Saturday of this week 400 students from 50 of the high schools of the state will be our guests. It is from them and their friends that the future students of this school are to come. Their impressions, therefore, of the University should be the most favorable possible.
So far, no entertainments arranged especially for these high school friends of ours have been planned. Of course, everyone will do his best to show them a good time—that goes without saying—but to make our hospitality seem more heartfelt we should do more. Why not arrange a reception and dance in the gym Friday night?
Let's get together on the proposition and try to make the high school boys and girls understand the interest that the University and the students feel in them.
Such an entertainment would serve to get our guests acquainted with the students here and with each other. The expense would not be great and the Student Council should be able to make the necessary arrangements.
Professor Carruth evidently harkened to the advice of Horace Greely, "Go West, young man, go West!"
Is the importation of Walt Mason's verse for the Jayhawker to be taken as an indication of disapproval of the home-made brand?
"Board of Regents Goes," says a headline. Sure it does. The board of students goes, too—almost as fast as the board money.
EVER KNOCK A HOME RUN?
"Rotten, rotten! Pull him out! I could pitch better ball myself."
That's what you yelled at the last baseball game you witnessed.
Seriously, can you pitch good ball? The Daily Kansan has an idea that perhaps you do have that ability and that you may have been telling the exact truth.
This is what we mean. We think that there are enough good ball players in the student boarding clubs to start an inter-club league that would be a winner. Even if the quality of the playing would not be quite up to National league standards the members of the teams
would get more fun and exercise out of the games than they would in ten thousand years—if they remained on the sidelines.
The athletic department has donated the use of the University grounds and will provide competent officials. It is up to the students. What do the men in your particular club think about it? Talk i. over with them tonight and let the Daily Kansan know their sentiments.
If you are for it, push!
What's happened to the sock-darning bureau? Can it be that the studies are emulating the example of the Hon. Jerry Simpson?
CARRUTH LEAVES IN JULY
CARRUTH LEAVES IN JULY
Wouldn't our legislature, the same one that stopped the Mexican war; raise a terrible howl if Vice-President Marshall should resign "because Germany offered him a larger salary!"
Even Taft's enemies must admit that the Kent chair at Yale will be well filled.
THE UNIVERSITY TEACHING
PCTG
Kansas University not long ago lost Robert Kennedy Duncan, the brilliant young professor of chemistry known from one end of the country to the other, because the University could not pay him a living salary for his work. Now Prof. Carruth, one of the stand-bys of the University, and one of the foremost scholars of Kansas, is to go to California, for the same reason. Other professors are receiving inducements that may draw them away from Lawrence.
Kansas might build forty palatial buildings on Mt. Oread, that magnificent site for a great Kansas institution of learning, but these palaces would educate nobody. It is great teachers, great scientists and great scholar who make a great University. Far better pay big salaries to big men, and go slow, if necessary, on the physical plant, than become a third-rate University by refusing to pay scholarly men who have the magnetism of great teachers and leaders of youth good pay for work whose value can not be measured with the dollar mark.

GETTING THERE ON TIME
A large number of interesting and profitable lectures are scheduled at the University at this season of the year, the interest in most of them however, is not a general one, and the audiences are limited in size, so that a few stragglers come late invariably spoil part of the lecture for the whole audience. We have all been sufferers as a result of circumstances; a great many of us have also been guilty of causing them.
This sort of thing cannot be stopped by rules; the only remedy possible is an appeal to reason and courtesy. Being late is with most of us a matter of mere habit, in the practice of which we have come to a point where we almost believe that it is proper etiquette to arrive after a lecture or a play has started. But there is no element of propriety in it; it is an insult to the rest of the audience as well as to the speaker; it is a display of bad manners. Think of that next time you get to a lecture ten minutes late—Daily Illini.
Because a private enterprise used the word "university" in its name the state legislature of Nebraska has introduced a bill to prevent the use of the name of the University in advertising any private mater.

We are no other than a moving row
Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come

Round with the Sun-illuminated Lan-

In Midnight by the Master of the

But helpless Pieces of the Game he plays
Upon his Chequer-board of Nights
and Days;
Hither and thither moves, and
checks, and slays,
and one by one back in the Closet

THE FABLE OF THE FOOLISH PERSON
Once a Foolish Person Went, from his land of Discontent, to a college there to gain Pearls of Knowledge, true and plain; The land the Foolish Person left, the from Culture quite Bereft, with Golden Opportunities was filled, and Many Beds of Ease. The Person's Father had rich lands, his cattle roved the hills in bands; yet nought of these would Foolish choose, he wanted Women, Song, and Booze. So quick a College Club he joined, and many Stars in Heaven coined. He traveled with a Merry man and let him go hang. When'eer a party bought a keg, he hobbled There, if on one leg. Where eer the pastebastes flipped and flipped, he bet his coin and never stopped. He saw each hand the dealer dealt, and bet right back straight from the belt. So night and day he forjoyed for his friends all called him "Good Old Boy." They flattered him and took his change, the coin his Dad sent from the Range.
When Springtime came he met a maid, who swiped his heart and, unafraid, began to tease and worry him in fact she had him on the Limb. He Swore Off all his habits mad, and when she smiled his heart was glad. He pestered her from morn 't night, he hardly ever left her Sight. Another Person now began to worry him—The Other Man. The Other Man had wooed his books in Quiet and Secluded nooks, his grades all hung 't Iens 's and 2', he never drank a drop of Booze. The Maiden kept them chasing round, the Foolish Guy put on a pound. The Other Guy, with mighty brain, became a Confidential Swain. He knew that such a nice Co-Ed, would never "pick a gink like him," he said. "Why he is tough as Hotel Steak." "She's much too Wise to Make a Break." The Foolish Kid reformed for fair, he even combed his rough-neck hair, he joined a frat and fussed her right, her Stock was Higher than a Kite. The Girlie kept the pair around and laughed as they Tore up the Grouch but when the Grouch tasted to wane, she man from out the Twain. Which one she picked I never knew, the narrative broke—Bing! in two; The Brinny Guy —The foolish Gink? Excuse one while I chase a Thoral. Moral: "All's well that ends well" so end the story to suit yourself. Penguin.

Carrol—Yes, I came down to the big game and so I just dropped in for a "kiss and a cup of tea," as they sav.

Visitor—Have you only one undertaker in this burge?

"O, just because," she sweetly said.
He—I see you're back.
She—Yes, I'm cool this way.

ENTER BOLD BAD DELILAHs:
EITTLE LITTLE HENRYS BEARD
To go through the freshman year without shaving has been the ambition of Henry Ithen (pronounced "tin"). Henry Ithe will be remembered started into school last fall at the age of fifteen years. He placed in long pants and did to be the "Little Kid" of the University.
And so day after day he mounted Mt. Oread in his knockerbockers but although said knickerbockers maintained the youthful appearance of his lower extremities, the gradual laying down on his face begua to tell
Comrades at the rooming house maintained that the condition of his countenance was passing into an unsanitary state; however, Henry steadfastly refused to touch his smiling face with a razor.
The climax came Sunday at his roming house at 939 Indiana street He was bound, gagged, and shaved by the upperclassman—that is, they scraped everything but his muscled. This like a knife let to blanch and if it were not for abbreviated trousers one might easily take him for a senior law.
The mustache is very pronounces
