One is about as unreliable as the other. We're waiting anxiously for someone to ask Oracle something about sport. She doesn't know the difference between a baseball and a golf club. OUT DOOR CHAPEL Our new chapel has been knocked in the head by the Legislature. Our old chapel is not big enough for more than one-half of the student body. What is to be done? Spring is coming and, with its coming comes the desire to sit on the green grass and hear the birds twitter. Therefore why cannot the University adopt out-door chapel for at least once a week? Let the Friday chapel happen on the campus where we can hear the flowers twitter and see the birds blossom and at the same time be inspired by the matchless eloquence of the Friday chapel speaker as he urges us to take advantage of our opportunities. Let the band play "Boola." Let the Rock Chalks verbate and re-echo between the law building and Fraser. Let there be at least one place where the unified spirit can be developed, and our memories of our Alma mater made precious in the years to come. ECONOMY'S THE THING "Why, John W., isn't this the economy that you have been asking for?" Governor Hodges or the legislature, or both, should have Professor Dyche go back to the Kansas University and go to work, because he still holds a position there, and resign the office of State Fish and Game Warden. There are too many fellows in Kansas wanting jobs to have one man holding two of them. —Paola Western Spirit. KANSAS GETS OFF CHEAPLY From the Springfield Republican. The per capita cost of education in the Kansas University is $175. Wisconsin spends $340 a student to maintain its state university; Michigan, $249; Nebraska, $208; Missouri, $255; Iowa, $180; California, $270; Minnesota, $202; Illinois, $331. The average cost a student in those states, in whose company Kansas has been classed the last ten years, is $255. The cost in Kansas is $175, or $80 a student less than the other state, and to maintain their efficiency, Kansas educates more students in proportion to its population than either Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa or Indiana, and it is doing it for less money. The state university now has 2,056 students. Seventy-five per cent of the number were born in Kansas. Only 27 of them are nonresidents of the state. Of the 2,055 enrolled, 1,295 are from the rural districts, either from the farms or from the villages of the state. Out of the total enrollment, 1,048 are self-supporting—are "making their own way" through school. Out of sixty-nine occupations represented by parents, there is one farmer in every three. Kansas does not maintain the average of any of the progressive, up-to-date states with which it has been classed, in any feature of its support of its state schools, except that of the number of students who are seeking an education. The average amount spent by California, Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin is seventy-nine cents for each inhabitant of the state. Kansas spends only sixty-five cents. Last year California spent $203,441 for new buildings for its state university; Illinois, $55,154; Iowa, $175,-00; Minnesota, $1,825,042; Missouri, $144,000; Nebraska, $202,500; Wisconsin, $230,476, an average of $476-517. Kansas spent last year $21,250. This year Missouri University is asking for $300,000 for its university extension work alone. Minnesota is asking for $80,000. Kansas is asking for only $54,650. The maximum salaries paid to professors is $5,000 in California, $4,600 in Iowa, $4,000 in Oklahoma, $4,000 in Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, $3,700 in Minnesota. The maximum allowed in Kansas is only $2,500. And at that Kansas seems to have a pretty fair little basket-ball team. It seems that the legislature is so set in its ways and means that it is impossible to budget. Ouch! We admit our guilt. We should like to announce that we positively will not print any communications relative to the red bird that sang to the Adams Street parade last week. HELP! There is no harm in it, but a fellow does feel a little set back when one of his friends sees him come out of a five and ten cent store—Daily Illin. Speaking of cabs reminds us that there were a number of dances Friday night. THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE She--They tell awful stories about you. Are they true? —Princeton Tiger. "Ah, what a picture!" sighed the artist, looking at the lady in the pink gown. "Over-exposed, over-exposed!" com- pared the photographer, terseedly. vermont Crabbe. Johnny—Gad, but you chickens wear your gowns low! Chorine—Yes, I almost caught cold in the wings last night. —Stanford Chaparral. —Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. When the Swiss shepherds feel a desire for some culture they drive their flocks up the mountains where they find the high browse. Take a peach and stir around for some time on a corrugated wax surface. Then place the peach in a small warm hack, and while the hack is being vigorously shaken by the man who forgot to pave Langdon Street, squeeze the peach.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE And if I said it not, I say it now: "I'll follow thee through sunshine and Adriana, Nay, said I not— Andriana, Nay, it did not. I I will be with thee in thy weal and woe. In thy afflictions, should they fall upon thee; appet trees; In thy temptations, when bad men in all the perils' when must now And should they cease such in the I'll follow thee through sunshine and through storm; best thee; In all the perils which must not Let but thy love be with me to the last. press round thee, And should they crush thee, in the ground. -Henry Taylor. Artevelide. My love is with thee ever; that thou knowest. Although the Junior Prom is in the dim distance, I want to ask this question, "Are the Junior girls going to expect cabs and flowers this year?" Of course if it should rain they would be a necessity, but if it doesn't rain then they become luxuries. TIGHTWAD SPEAKS Editor Daily Kansan; Tightwad, despite the fact that your query should be handed over to the Oracle, the editor will attempt to answer it. The truth of the matter is this: If cabs are proposed, and flowers are bought the girls will accept them undoubtedly. Salvation lies in silence. Junior Tightwad. Two Minute Interviews With Campus Celebrities "Gerhard Adam Gesell. They named me Adam because I was too little to kick. I came from the University of Wisconsin." "Kindly state your full name." "You can't judge a man by his looks. Some good men have come from there. When I was three years old I carried a keg of nails around the block." Dean Crumbine "How old are you, Mr. Gesell?" "When I was four years old I smoked a strong cigar. When I—" "Do you belong to the Munchausen Club?" "Are you sure it was nails, Doctor?" A dirty well is more dangerous than a dirty kitchen. "No, not yet. I got caught in a threshery machine once. I thought for a minute that I was a gone gosling." "Never heard of it. Oh, I was some healthy baby." "I like to sit around and play solitaire." "Are you married, Professor?" "No. When I was ten years old I proposed to my teacher, but she spurned me. I have been here five years. Some day I am going to uncouple myself and get a good job." "Were you ever a Sunday School School Superintendent?" "Are you married, Professor?" Says "They say that you read the Police Gazette." "Did you ever wear a full beard, Doctor?" "Not for some time. There isn't much money in talking." "Did you ever have a convulsion Doctor?" "Not since I got my last check."

SHAKE “There's one grand little institution on the Hill that is not heralded in song and story,” said an Emerald-herd one from the Short Grass tomb. “The family has a place in the assets of the school. That is the K. U. handshake. Goss-darned if my knuckles ain't all bow-spring and knock-kneed under the pressure they have received this week. I have met about three hundred chaps, I guess, and every mother's son of them has grabbed hold of my lunch hook like it was a life line, and literally squeezed his delight into my system. I haven't been famed for my delicacy in matters of the hand, having been grand viser of the Handholders' Union at home for three seasons and take honest pride in the achievement, but upon my word, a chap needs reinforced phalanges to get through here. These Kansas kids who developed their grip milking cows and snagging on to plow handles before they could talk don't realize their power. I have achered clear to my wishbone each night since I landed on the townsite. "But I like it," continued the Rustic, as he scratched himself above the ankle on an affectionate light blue sock, "and I want the public to know that I do. There is a vigor and a friendship in that hard clasp which bespeaks the cordiality of the school, and gives out much of the breeziness and derogacity of this school. May the K. U. handshake wax fat and prosper, and its days be long upon the land that the Lord has given us." ON FRIENDSHIP The great man down, you mark his favorite flies: The poor advanced makes friends of enemies. **hehemes,** And hitherto doth love on fortune tend; For who not needs shall never lack a And who in want a fellow-friend doth try Directly sees in him an enemy. Directly sees in him an enemy. Shakeenae. Send the Daily Kansan home.
