Gratitude is the memory of the heart—N. P. Willis.
Now that the senate has done its share toward giving us our appropriation the blame for any further trouble will be "on the house."
HELP THE POOR SENIOR
"Little Cafeteria" is to pass away
The good die young.
Examinations are not regarded with particular favor, in this age, by either students or teachers. This disfair is caused not so much by the time and energy expended on them but because it is felt that they are illogical, unsatisfactory and unnecessary.
The senior who has successfully negotiated seven semester examinations is not likely to fall down on the last test. No one who would otherwise fail would be allowed to graduate by excuse him this time.
Some universities, Illinois to name one, are excusing from the last semester finals all seniors who have averaged a certain percentage. The idea should be adopted at Kansas.
The last few weeks are busy days for the average senior. He is preparing to leave him Alma Mater. These last days are woven strongly into his impressions of college life.
Why add the last straw of examinations to his last days? Why not let his last impressions be pleasant ones? Allow all who are worthy to escape the last finals.
It is to be hoped that our goal-tossers remember a certain score of 14 to 3. Revenge will be more than saccharine.
DATE NIGHT CONVERSATIONS
A great deal of complaint is heard about the quality of the conversation that obtains on date nights. A girl speaking very frankly a few days ago said she was disgusted with the fellows who had come her way. She explained that almost without exception the men seemed to think that girls were of a delicately inferior type (that they possessed the "feminist" mind; that they were unable to think strongly about real things. And so they pitched the conversation on a low plane) and talked of vain, transient, and superficial things. Two hours of valuable time was thus spent in talking class gossip, reviewing the last dance, criticising the professors, and playing all over again the last game that Iain lost.
One of the strongest men in the University said recently that he had practically eliminated date nights from his program because he felt that it was in many cases a loss of time. He complained that the girls were unable to talk on subjects of
any consequence. So long as he confined himself to the little happenings of the week about the University—the dance, the game, the club,—he found that the girls could talk; but when he shifted the conversation to weightier matters he had to do all the talking himself, and very soon the girl lost interest and the whole thing went dead.
These two criticisms are given for what they are worth. All will admit that conversation here in the University might be greatly improved. But that will never be until we develop better tastes. So long as a girl thinks chiefly of the dance, and a boy of the game, the subject of their conversation will be the dance and the game. We talk about the things we are interested in. The person who has thought all week about private parties and picture shows will not talk interestingly about the Mexican revolution or the literary career of Joaquin Miller.
Let Indiana men and women extend their interests and push out their horizons. It is the only way to improve conversation that has grown cramped and petty.-Indiana Student.
Clarence Williams, Harlan Hutchings, and Oscar Rieger are now trying out for sporting editor of the Kansan. The field is open to all students interested in newspaper work.
Fraternity baseball will start soon. We wunder whether the Greeks will shine on the diamond as well as in other places.

THE GIRLS AND GARGOYLES.
THE GIRLS AND GARGOYLES.
Two girls were strolling past the Natural History Museum one day, when looking up they noticed near the top of the building a row of grotesque figures carved in stone. "Arent they hideous?" asked the first girl. "What are they?" "Some-what obscure," the throat answered the second, "but I forgot what it is." "Will you tell me why you put such horrible things on a building?" asked the first girl. "Oh," the second one replied, "it is somebody's idea of adornment."
Two gargoyles guarded the name of "Agassiz" on the Natural History Museum, and watched the strange figures walking on the pavement below. "How awkward they are," said one gargoyle, and "how flabby." "Yes," said the other, "and how expressionless they are their faces." "Perhaps you can tell me," said the first, "why one of them carries a fur rug and the other wears a horse-blanket?" "Oh," the second one replied, "it is merely their idea of adornment."

THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Adam drops the leaflet he has been reading and scratches the back of his neck vigorously. "What did you laugh at this shirt, Eve?" he asks angrily.
The Origin
Eve leaves off washing the fashion plate and considers. "Well, there's fig leaves and one or two burdocks, dear. It's getting so cold now and I thought that the burdocks would

why Adam what terrible language."
He—Ah, I see, kind of Worcester
eh, what? —Williams Purple Cow.
He—Do you Boston?

She—Half way.

FROM THE RUBAIYAT
To gras this sorry Scheme of Things Entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits—and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart's Desire!
Yon rising Moon that looks for us again—
How oft hereafter will she wax and wane;
Tow off hereafter rising look for us
in THE GARDEN--and, for
one in vain!
And when like her, oh Saki, you shall pass
Among the Guests Star-scattered on the Grass,
And in your joyous errand reach the spot
The Ball no question makes of Ayes and Noes,
Where I made One—turn down an empty Glass!
But Here or There as strikes the Player goes;
He knows about it all—He knows—
He knows!
ETIQUETTE DONT'S FOR MEN About collars—Don't wear a wing collar to a plain, soft-fronted colored shirt. It will look sloppy. Try a stiff fronted shirt, or, at any rate, a soft shirt with a pleated front. The wings of the collar are then likely to sit correctly.
And He that toss'd you down into the Field;
Don't wear a collar too large for you. Up-to-date firms now sell quarter sizes, and nine out of every ten middle class men would look much neater if they selected a collar a quarter of a size smaller.
Don't wear a double turn down collar—intended only for lounge suits—to dress clothes.
About ties--Don't wear a bow tie too long for the collar. It looks as incongruous as a small-headed man in a big-brimmed hat. The length of the bow intended to be self-tied should be in strict keeping with the formal dress code, becoming increasingly favored, though knots are not incorrect.
Don't wear a black bow to a dress suit when taking a woman out to dine. If you are dining with a party of men a black tie is correct.
Don't put on a white dress waist-coast when you are going to wear a black bow.
Don't forget that a soft shirt with a silk pliated front looks particularly chic.
Don't imagine that, because double turn down collars are now frequently worn with morning coats, it is absolutely correct style. It is now tolerated, but it is not in strict obedience to the law of fashion.
About shirts--Don't be persuaded into buying detachable cuffs to wear with a morning coat. They are out of date. The starched cuffs must be part of the shirt.
Don't be under the delusion that it is necessary for a short-armed man to accept a shirt merely because it fits around the neck. Up-to-date firms now offer sizes in shirts with three different lengths in sleeves.
Don't put a diamond pin or any other ornament too near the collar if wearing a knot tie. It is not necessary to wear any ornament at all, but if one is fancied it should be placed as far down the tie as conveniently possible—New York Sun.
Don't have square-shaped soft cuffs on your shirt when wearing a lounge suit. Round cuffs are correct.
Don't wear shirts with stiff cuffs to a lounge suit. Soft double cuffs are the fashion.
