It would be better if men built their own houses on a scale commensurate rather with their condition at the commencement, than with their attainments at the termination, of their worldly career-Ruskin. As the time for the beginning of the Masquers' vacation draws nigh the Men's Student Council begs to state that no more applications for a week's suspension can possibly be considered. We understand that the Middle Laws will soon blossom forth with "swagger sticks," a sort of whittled down replica of the seniors' canes. It is hard on the juniors but nothing remains for them but to carry clothespins—or toothpacks. CHAMPS AGAIN? Looks like another basket-ball championship for Kansas. But in basket-ball as well as in other things over-confidence is dangerous. No team can win all the time and a losing team needs more support than a championship squad. Keep that in mind. Which, by the way, has been a rather frequent occurrence in late years. So frequent, in fact, that we have come to consider first place as our own private property. Such a feeling is all right as long as we win. This year's five can be too highly commended for the fighting spirit which it has shown in "coming back" after a none too auspicious beginning. Those two Aggie victories would have been enough to discourage any but the Kansas Spirit. As it was, they only served to bring the team into its present form. Although Missouri is practically out of the way as far as the championship is concerned, there still remain two games with the Tigers on their own court. If these go the right way nothing but the Cornhuskers remain in the running. Here's to the Jayhawk five! May it play hard and prosper—and incidentally bring home another one of those Missouri Valley championships. And the Glee club concert lived up to its name in being a joyous occasion. KALSOMINE. Rastus Johnson, the gentleman of color who lives in the little brick shack with the sign "CALCIMINING DONE" dangling on its front, hasn't a monopoly of the business. Undergraduates in the University frequently intrude on his trade. Many are skillful with the whitewash brush and are wont to make much use of it. Calcimune on an old wooden fence is a mighty good thing in a "Village-Beautiful" propaganda, but when the lime is smeared on university campus affairs to hide disagreeable truth it hurts—it makes hypocrites of well-meaning men. With all its commendable features and development toward ideals, the university campus life is not free from faults. Undergraduates are not blind to these, and in the seclusion of dormitory rooms and the secretory of various meetings they decem them. Unfortunately, when publicity is involved they resort to the whitewash brush. This phase of hypocrisy is frequently a fault of college publications, especially the news-telling kind. "Oh hevkins! it's wrong, but don't mention it. It might get outside and reflect discreditedly on the University." Sometimes this is more difficult than being misguided but conciseness attitude. Frankly, this whitewashing makes Punch Bowl tired. Concealing bad truth fosters it; publishing the whole truth in the long run cannot do harm, and it can be a factor in making a better campus and university—Pennsylvania Punch Bowl. Reports from Topeka indicate that our new buildings seem doomed. Unless that repair item on the budget goes through some of the old ones will soon meet the same fate. So far, no one has calculated how `ar` the cokes consumed quiz week would reach if placed end to end. In order to cut down her mail several hundred per cent, Oracle wishes o announce that no answers will be given to the question, "Why is a nackinaw?" Jaysquawks By Ponce "Central? Nine nine please."The above inquiry was addressed to a Bell phone. It is double nine on the Home. "Hello. Is Helen there?" "What Helen?" Voice shows hugure surprise. "Why, the Only Helen For you?" The phone wobbled and died with a gurgle of agony. Apparently the first requirement for a concert singer is to have an unpronounceable name. This agitation for a Co-operative book store should be stopped at once. It might lower the price of books. That Row Row song is a bear. We just love it to death. Oh, slushywushy! We are wondering why some individuals accentuate their lack of a lower jaw by growing a fuzz upon the upper lip. However the "musstaash" would help some in straining the bugs and other invertebrates out of the city water. And helps out the poor down-trod-den barber. This has been bothering us for several days. Now there is one infernal strain, I wish would take a rest, a fiendish haunting mad refrain, I can't get off my chest. "Cummoner-thee" they warble low, in tones I cannot stand, but why the hun-heck should I go to Alexander's Band? Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges Russell Campbell of Bates City, Mo., who has been in school here, departed this morning for his home. He will not return this year.—Missourian. There have been men of great mental caliber, men with messages, men of great prominence, lecturing to the students and public at the university vescers but when Rev. Newton comes there is always an anticipation of something out of the ordinary for he has the keen interest of young people at heart, and he knows how to get to the hearts and minds of all classes of people. When on an errand of this nature he is always at his best forcing his great character into the very lives of all those who hear him—Daily town. In Short, A Silver-tongued Orator Explain Yourself. Russ? And At A Y. W. C. A. Fair, Too! One of the interesting features of the Y. W. C. A. County Fair will be the oriental settings and costumes. It is planned to have a "street fair" or "pike" or "midway" or "coney island" and to season it with settings that are unfamiliar to the average student. —Daily Iowan. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE he bell strikes one; we take no note of time. The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor. Is wise in man. As if an angel snoke. - TIME But from its loss. To give it, then, a tongue I feel the solemn sound. If heard aright, It is the signal that demands despatch: Then away with Longing It is the knell of my departed hours. Where are they? With the years beyond the flood, OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS Then away with Longing, And hot! For Labor! for Love- Each one for his Neighbor, —Anonymous. To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not how we end, of what we want and not of what we have—Stevenson. While the University Daily Kansan ranks with the best college papers, in my estimation there is one feature which, if added, would add greatly to its interest. Why don't you devote an article every week or two to some prominent alumnus of this institution? Some of the students who graduated under me ten or fifteen years ago have since become prominent in the business or political world. Most of us know absolutely nothing of these former K. U. men who have made good. These articles need not be so numerous as to become tiresome, but they would undoubtedly be of great interest to many people over the state. Faculty Member. -Edward Young. Dean Editor Daily Kansan: To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.—Stevenson. Whoseover is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god. WHAT ABOUT IT? For a life of Labor and Study and Love, How much is to be done. Can any man charge God that He hath not given him enough to make his life happy? - Izak Walton. Crumbine Open your windows for the fresh air and you will seldom have to open your pocketbook for the druggist. Is the Life that fits for the Joy above. When men do not love their hearthes, nor reverence their thresholds, it is a sign that they have dishonored both—Ruskin. To make us love our country, our couch might to be lovely—loved Burke. Says 1 Of great riches their is no real use, except it be in the distribution: the rest is but conceit—Bacon.
