Wonder how many of our brilliant young Shakepearian players will stay over for the Coburn productions this summer. Doubtless the water would be improved by the addition of a little peroxide. EFFICIENCY. Are we practicing efficiency? Are we getting as much out of our University work as we should for the time spent? These are questions that concern every man and woman in school. A university education is a matter of business in large measure. Are some of us going bankrupt without being aware of it? Dean Blackmar says that it is not the difference in intellects that causes difference in grades, but difference in the methods of study. Every student should have his work so arranged that he will receive the greatest return for the effort he makes. When we learn to have a certain time set apart for everything in the day's work we are getting the best training possible. Efficiency is the greatest asset the working world has yet devised. Let us practice it. Let us make an appointment with ourselves for certain hours of the day and see that we keep them. Let us set aside a time for doing our library work, for instance, and make it a point to get it done at that time. We should have certain hours for getting our lessons and be as punctual in preparation as in recitation It begins to look like that class memorial idea is suffering from infantile paralysis. The pure food act has saved us $6,000 on oysters. We have long suspected that that business was a half-shell game. The proposed senior memorial would probably result in including the masculine centingent in the wallflower class. A CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES. Will Nebraska and Kansas get together this year to settle the basket-ball championship of the Missouri Valley? That is the question that is now occupying the minds of every follower of the great indoor game. Last year the title was left in doubt after the same teams had triumphed in their respective divisions. It would seem at present that there may be some such hitch in the arrangements this season. It is unfortunate that the athletic authori- dies of the two schools can not pate up their differences and play a series to decide the supremacy. It is due the students of the two institutions as well as the other conference schools to have the championship clearly settled. As the matter stood last year there might as well have been two separate conferences of three schools each. Surely the difficulties in the way of arranging the games between the two claimants are not so great that they can not be overcome. There is no doubt but that Calpurnia is the most tragic figure in the play. Remember her Caesar sees her seize her—our emotions o'ercome us. APPRECIATION Paul E. More, editor of the Nation, whose journal was last spring the medium of a vigorous attack upon the sensational character of newspaper headlines, especially those of the Daily Kansan, spent last week at K. U. delivering a course of literary lectures. During his stay Mr. More took occasion to visit the Kansan office, and handed out a spicy interview to that journal's delighted cub. The Kansan printed the interview with appropriate headlines as follows: “More Goes to Mat With Slangy Headers–Edges of Nation of Slipps Kibosh on Paste Gems of English—Highbrow Lingo Tobobbans—Argot Touted Distance Classics Unless Dog Flops, Opines Salmon Essayist. After Mr. More recovered he found himself properly quoted in the story. —Ottawa Herald. MORE REFORM. Before each play the campus reading public is treated to editorial invective against dress suits, and since the sartorial question is again du', why not ask the women for a dress reform? An old grad returning to a campus dance thinks he has straysed into a belated Sophomore Cotillion, for there he sees satin gowns, all the jewels the family can spare, while the men, sole victims of the local reform, appear in brown shoes and informal attire. Now is a good time to carry out the spirit of the first campus dance with appropriate simplicity and note the increased attendance at about eighteen or twenty of these affairs each semester. On the Quad there is the eternal fashion show, veluets and varied degrees of decollette putting the old leather roughneck sweaters in the shade. This incongruity of taste can be easily lived down, making our campus dances of the future sander and more really enjoyable functions. Anyway we are too near a metropolis to set the pace in fashions.—Women's Edition Daily Palo Alto. THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE "Say," remarked the wit, "why is it that night falls, but does not break, day day breaks without falling?" Minnesota Minneaha. The last daffydil of literature—If Emerson was sober, was Hazlitt? —Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. Life is all a daily grind, complained the dago with the organ. Invest in rubber —It's bound to rise. —Jack-O-Lantern. Bronx—Quite a coincidence, isn't it? Bronx—Why, Miss Summers opens in the Winter Garden in the "Spring Maid" this fall—Judge. Whose picture is that, Geraldine? The King of Portugal. Lenox—What? —Tiger. Dean Not what you eat but what you digest nourishes you. The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE K. U. Forges Ahead. The enrollment at K. U. is 2521, here it is 2476.—Students' Herald, K. S. A. C. Her voice was ever soft, Genius. She wore a little thing in woman—Shakespeare. FROM THE RUBAIYAT A Book of Wines underneath the Bong, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread — and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilder- Oh, Wilderness were paradise enwet! Some for the Glories of This World some Sight for the Prophet's Paradise to come; ah, take the Cash and let the Credit! go. Nor need the rumble of a distant Drum! Whether at Naishapur or Babylon Whether the Cup with sweet or bitter wine? The Wine of Life keeps oozing drop by drop. The Leaves of Life keep falling one The Leaves of Life keep falling one by one. STUDENT OPINION I don't like to appear fresh, for even though a freshman I am 29 years old. There is something troubling me, however, and I thought perhaps you might inform me the facts published this so that someone else can. Editor Daily Kansan: Of course the fraternity has not yet been established, and I may seem over anxious, as in fact I imagine I am. The fact of the matter is this: I haven't a very wide acquaintance on the hill and being older than most of the other students do not mix with them very well. I concede that I have no chance in the world to make a fraternity, but I do like to have a few congenial friends about me and I want to get into the fraternity when it starts. I am not exactly married, however, but I have been and have been divorced but a year. Do you think I am eligible for the fraternity, or will I be kept out on a technicality? Editor Daily Kansan: H. D. McTatler. Mother. I have been much interested in the movement to establish a fraternity at the University and had made plans to join the organization, together with my husband, but I now find that it is possible that couples with children will be barred from membership. I have the sweetest little boy in the world and do not see why he should be the cause of our rejection by the society. Is this not unfair to us as well as undemocratic? I should like to see the matter taken up in your columns. T. R. tried to mix in this race suicide question and soon found himself in water of an extremely high temperature. "Fools rush in," but we plead guilty to being angelic in this instance, try someone else. Stevedores—worst of all. Truck drivers—a little better. Cafe loungers—swear to kill time between drinks. Strap hangers—almost justifiable. Baseball fans—most picturesque language. Structural iron workers—very hard. Workers—very bad. Brokers—improving. Teachers—very gentlemanly. School children—in need of reform—Washington Herald. The great American anti-profany campaign began at noon a few days ago, under the shadow of Benjamin Franklin's statue, in Park Row. A. S. Colborne, president of the Anti-profany League, addressed the crowd and attributes cards, reading: "We have made us use obscure or profane language." Mr. Colborne said that ten years' observation had led him to classify CUT THE ROUGH STUFF The entire annual board will meet Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 7:15 in room 8, Green hall.
