A sign of the times—the 7:30 whistle. Judging from the many spills that coasters have had this last snow, we should like to suggest that a coach] for the sport be procured. THE SENIOR PLAY Manuscripts for the Senior Play must be in by March 19. This means that those who are to enter the contest must get exceedingly busy at once. Much work is required to write a play that will be a credit to the senior class and the University and the committee in charge should and will not accept any other kind. The new plan of offering a prize for the best play is being tried out for the first time. On its success this year depends its survival in the future. Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their-class and school. The play this year should be the best ever given by a graduating class. The plan is all right. Let its working out prove it so. Some of the P. S. B. are objecting to the Kansan's policy of running ten years ago items. They want the time lengthened. We see that the art exhibit was a financial failure. Evidently it did not draw as well as the Kansan head writer would have led one to expect. There is an old saying about March coming in like a lamb and going out like a lion, and vica versa. After the ground hog has flunked out so badly, we hesitate to believe any of these old traditions. THE CAFETERIA It may be that the bad weather is over for the season but it is highly improbable. And the students shy at making the ascent and descent of the Mount of Oread any more than is necessary on the days when the path is hard to follow. Consequently the little cafeteria has been patronized to a greater extent than was at first expected. Last year the cafeteria was a success and undoubtedly proved a great boon to many. The greatest drawback to the establishment of the cafeteria again this year is the lack of room. But there has been suggested a plan by which the stand could be continued on the lawn. This would be an experiment, and might turn out badly; at first mention it does not seem practical but we believe that it is worthy of a trial. Again, the students will not need a place of refreshment when warm weather comes, at least not as much as they do now. If the cafeteria could be started, even in the spring, and get in good shape as far as organization is concerned, we believe that next year it might run continuously, or even become a permanent University organization. A hot time was had at the Pan Hellenic smoker. ANTICIPATION, REALIZATION AND THE NEW AD. BUILDING For two years more the central portion of the new Administration building will exist only in our hopes. The legislature has decided that we shall not behold it in reality this biennium. Literary societies for ages have debated whether anticipation or realization affords the greatest pleasure, and in the long run it has been an even break. The legislature has given the preference to anticipation. In our mind's eye we have seen that building arising for two years We have paused to admire its beauty, we have strolled through the light hallways which will echo to the feet of coming generations, and have sat in spirit in the modern classrooms where Kansas will train its children for life's work. In it we have centered our hopes as the next step toward the greater University of Kansas that we feel sure is coming. Perhaps had the legislature and the state realized how much it means to us and to them their action would have been different, but "if" furnish no bricks for a permanent structure. We can only wait and dream and hope for two more years; and when hopes grow weak and dreams misty we can stroll over to the Museum to gaze at the plaster model there. Let us be thankful that two years ago we were given a solid foundation upon which to build our air castles. To visitors and newly arriving freshmen we can show that foundation as a tangible promise of what is to be; and couples, in the moonlight, wandering over it can find it a fitting place for the discussion of the question of anticipation vs. realization in regard to other things than University buildings. Oracle is overwhelmed with queries concerning the proposed fratory. She promises to give the matter her attention and answer them Thursday. The Regents met Friday for the last time. And we are more confident than ever that the remark is a true one which runs, "We never do anything consciously for the last time without a feeling of regret." The quotation is not exact but that is the sentiment. Is is that the students here are different from the students of other institutions, and haven't spirit enough to organize a publication of the kind advocated? Or do they fear to weaken the Daily Kansan through competition? UNIQUE Several days ago the Daily Kansasan spoke of a comic magazine for the University of Kansas. It seems that the students must have taken the article as a joke as we have heard but little about it. Is it that the students here are would not benefit the Kansan, and indeed might work the Dally harm. But we feel that it would be a good thing for the school if conducted in the right manner, and will welcome the appearance of one. We do not think that we are selfish. Consequently, if any student has ambitious in that line, let him get busy and see what he can do. The Kansas will aid in every way it can, and will look on the project as a friend, not as a rival. Other universities support a humorous publication, and it seems that Kansas is unique in being without one. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor. There are smiles and tears in that gathering band, . . . Where the heart is pledged with the trembling hand. trembling hann. What trying thoughts in the bosom As the bride bids parents and home farewell! If we gave you any advice you would accuse us of having a creeek motive. And besides, Oracle is the only one in the office who has nerve enough to discuss the faculty dress.

I would like very much to arrange it properly for him, but I was wondering if he would be likely to take offense. Can your staff give me any advice? The junior hop at the University of Michigan has just been abolished. Extravagence feature dancing, andotous behavior were the reasons for the placing of this time-honored function under the ban of faculty disapproval. THE JUNIOR DANCE This is not, however, the first movement toward the banishment of the annual junior dance. The legislature of Wisconsin recently considered a law which provided for the limitation of the finance of the University of Wisconsin, because of the great expense involved in the giving of the function. It seems rather fortunate that students cannot give annual events if this nature which are democratic and not limited to a comparative few who can afford to pay the high cost attached to attendance at the affair. Dances like the junior prom at this institution are something to look forward to as bright occasions during a college career. As they are run now, they afford a luxurious pleasure for a few, and a tempting sigh for the many who cannot afford to go, and can therefore only look on. A little less elaborate decorating and a lesser standard of luxury, would mean more democracy and enjoyment to a far larger number of persons—Daily Illini.

Lee, who was a reporter for the Daily Kansan last year, has changed his address to 200 Kennedy street, Winnepeg, Manitoba from Regina, Saskatchewan. He failed to notify the office and consequently missed several issues of the paper. In a letter asking why the Daily Kansan was not coming to the new address he assures us that such a delay "could never have happened in the good old days when I was a cub on the Kansan." The Kansan Deteriorates Chas. J. Robinson is now associated with the Emerson efficiency Engineers in the McCormas building at Chicago. He gives us his best wishes for the success of our paper when telling us to change the address of his Kansan. R. E. Smith at Larnaca, Cyprus, has his copy of the Daily Kansan sent to him in a weekly bundle. "We only get mail here once a week, on Friday, anyway," he says. A number of students at the University are having a copy of the Daily sent to their parents for the second semester. Missed Penmanship Course Missed Penmanship Course. Some of the pledges which came to the office at the beginning of the legislative session from alumni who accepted our special three months' allowance, We ciphered the address of Rawson L. Bennett into 6108 Heiser avenue, Chicago, and sent his paper there until the postmaster notified us that there was no such street in Chicago. We are trying Steiner avenue as the next most likely translation. M. C. Conley of Dewey, Oklahoma was one of several subscribers who missed the issues which failed to appear during quiz week. Conley asks us to explain the delay and insists that we "send it along, as it is received with great interest." The McGill University Daily at Montreal, Canada and the I. S. C. Student at Ames, Iowa asked us to add their paper to our exchange list last week. ANNOUNCEMENTS All announcements for this column should be handed to the news editor before 10 a. m.
