Would it be carrying matters too far to suggest that the legislature has taken the gents out of regents?
This ad was handed in to the Daily Kansan recently: Lost—A pair of brown gentleman's gloves.
SPENCER'S ADMONITION
To certain college students is commended for reflection this incident told about Herbert Spencer. Spencer was fond of billiards. One day he was badly beaten by a young sharp at the sport, whom he proceeded to admonish and disinfect of in these words:
"Young man, a moderate proficiency at billiards is the sign of a well rounded education. But such proficiency as you have shown is the sign of an ill spent youth."
We earnestly request that no more jokes be handed in about the piece of crepe in the printing office. Everybody knows that it is a towel now
Wonder if More can explain the romantic movement of couples about the campus last evening. We have understood that every movement has a meaning all its own.
$668,784.
The University of Kansas has been cut down $668,784. It is not a question now as to how the institution may forget ahead during the next two years, but it is a question how we are going to keep our balance.
We are not going to rise up and wall and weep for that which cannot be helped. We have no intention of maligning the legislature as that body is acting as they think right. We shall go ahead and do the best we can for the next two years at the end of which time we expect to get better treatment.
It seems to be the will of the legislature to lop off the amount mentioned above. What we are going to get is not what we need, but what we must use to the best possible advantage. Therefore we let the matter rest.
There is a question comes to us, here, however, that causes worry. Why is it, Kansas, the richest state in the Union judged per capita, is unwilling to give her sons and daughters an equal chance with those of Missouri, Illinois, Washington, Texas, etc.? We cannot think that this state of affairs could exist except through misunderstanding.
The way matters are trending today, and as they have been going for some time now, there is a new phase of a University career to Kansas sons.
Having the University crippled financially, and therefore lowering
the standard on which state universities are run must mean ultimately that the student must summon all his state pride to attend a Kansas school; other state institutions are making a strong bid for Kansas men and women.
Goluff may be a great game, but we are of the opinion that it is another case where the bean specialist should be consulted.
Will initiation into any of the local clubs be made any more or less strenuous if the legislature passes the initiative and referendum bill?
HIGH OLD TIMES
In ye olden days a student did no think that he had done his duty to his class unless he voted at least six times in every election. The last election was a gala occasion— lots of ineligible either voted or lieed to vote.
But in the recent election for editor and manager of the 1914 Jayhawker about fifty-five per cent of the juniors voted. The entire election was a rather tame affair.
The cause of such a light vote is not known definitely. Some contend that the girls and engineers were afraid to go into the law building. At any rate it seems that the old order is changing.
What has happened to the student who carried his books up the hill by means of a book strap?
THE OREAD ORACLE
Dearest Oracle.
We girls are having the dreadfulst time and we just knew, dearie, that you could help us out. You are such a dear and we know you will answer this right away so that we can show them how to do it. This is how it is, girlle. Several of us are distressed to death because we don't know how to remove liverspots.
Affectionately,
Kappa Theta Pi.
Oracle considers that this question belongs more properly to the pure food department than her column but out of pity for the terrible distress of her sisters will undertake to answer it. First, take a stiff wire brush and work up a lather of Sapolio or Dust Cleaner upon it. Strong lye will do if the other preparations are not available. Then tie the liver firmly in the left hand and brush vigorously in a transverse direction, working the lather into the pores. Wash liver in boiling water and examine for spots. If they persist, repeat the treatment.
My Dear Oracle,
Anguished.
I am in great perplexity and want to tell you my troubles as I know your sympathetic nature. I am sure that you will treat this communication as strictly confidential, because I would not have the facts known for the world. There is a young man in school, a fraternity man, who has been paying me the most marked attention for the past week. He has been at the house almost constantly and the other girls are objected to him. He professed for the second time in three days and although I succeeded in putting him off he swears that he wil not take "No" for an answer. He professes the most ardent devotion. What shall I do? Shall I follow the yearnings of my heart and confess my love for him?
Oracle consulted a calendar before answering your heart rending note, Anguished. The invitations for your spring party are scheduled to appear before the first of the month. WAIT.
I have petitioned the College faculty to allow me to take an extra hour in the Physical Science group as by doing so I will be able to get my degree one semester sooner. Is there any possibility of their granting a petition?
Dear Oracle.
Waiter.
Oracle can only quote the well-known statement, "The age of miracles is past."
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Paraphrase of the twenty-third psalm.
'he Lord my pasture shall prepare'
And feed me with a shepherd's care:
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
And guard me with a watchful eye;
And all my midnight hours defends
In the salutry globe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pan
To fertile vale and dew meeds
My weary wandring he leads;
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow.
Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall feel no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still'
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through he dreadful.
Though in a bare and rugged wav.
Through devious, lonely wilds
The bounty shall my wants beguile;
The barren wilderness shall smile.
With sudden greens and herbage crowned.
And streams shall murmur al
around—Joseph Addison
HERE'S A REAL BOUQUET. Editor Daily Kansan.
I want to compliment the Daily Kansan upon the journalistic enterprise displayed yesterday in issuing an extra giving the first report of the senate committee on the University appropriation.
The extra was delivered at my home at 12:30, more than three hours before any other paper in the state brought the news. I do not believe that this instance of service to the students and faculty should go unrecognized. Congratulations.
Ralph A. Johnson.
The University is to give the state a little aesthetic training. This is what we should call a beautiful idea.
I had a lovely suit of gray
MY OLD GRAY PANTS
Which to my work I wore one day
But circumstance
Destined a muttin-headed gink
Whenever again those pants I'd wear
The public at that spot would stare
With steady glance
To pace a big black daub of ink On my gray pants.
Soon from the ragman they were bought
On my gray pants.
Then to the pulp mills quietly brought
So to avoid embarrassment,
Out to the greedy rag man went
My old gray pants.
And there amidst grinding noise and strife
A strange romance.
For into paper they were made
Of extra quality and grade
Of extra quality and grade
What strength advance
The stock without flaw or spli
The stock without flaw or splinter
Went into the Kansan Printer
Machine.
Was given a new lease of life To my gray pants.
No doubt you at this tale will jeer
And say with overbearing sneer
The law of chance
My old gray pants .
—Henry Malov.
Yet as this page I gaze upon
I find my rhyme is written upon
My old gray pants .
Dean
Crumbine
From my old pants.
Yet as this page I gaze upon
Says
"Catching cold" is an accurate expression, because most colds are "catching," or contagious.
