Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1913. The W. S. G. A. is to charge one fourth cost for second hand books. We have seen some used volumes, especially in the language courses, that brought double the original price. Simplified spelling again demonstrated its superiority in the basketball game last week when the final result was K. U., 44; Cayon, 25. GET BUSY We yeary studies that have stood in line and know what terror enrollment for the second semester's work at the University of Kansas has for the ordinary earthly mortal, don't stand hurling imprecations at the system and management. Don't do it. Get busy and conact a few formulas of your own. Get your system before the public. That's what counts. The Daily Kansan will be pleased to print any suggestions you may offer. Yes, even poor ones. But busy but anyhow; lend your brain to the struggle for a same enrollment. Who knows but what you are the student Moses to lead the weary into paths of happiness. We beg to repent, get busy. If you have any brilliant ideas concealed about you, for goodness sake divulge them and win the gratitude of the 2403. Even more than quizzes the enrollment system is a relic of the age of barbarianism. And now for a week at least we can indulge ourselves in every form of ex-quiz-ite pleasure. THESE RED CARDS Now is the time for all good—pardon us, habit prompted the start, but honestly we did have a few words to say concerning the red cards, and wished to say that all good earnest students would soon come to the aid of their standing. For verity, several red cards have been issued; no more than is usual perhaps, but the number of students who are seeing red these days is large enough to deserve notice. A red card means four and one half months more of wee and drudgery. For who wants to flunk twice in the same course. But here is the meat of what we intended to say: If you have been the recipient of a red card, don't mean and wall. That's childish. You can't change the color by taking thought, at least not for some four and one half months. And in this last sentence lies the moral. CRUDE He was a junior politician, no names mentioned. Coming up to a fellow classmate at the far end of the junior enrollment line the wily one "You a junior? Why, I didn't know that. . . Er. . . Thought you were a senior." suddenly beamed upon his seatmate and smiled his ro-to-meeting smile. Enrollment has one point in its favor, at least. The Medics really enjoy having lots of patience. The Thespians are to take an aeroplane flight. They should be warned. At the University of Kansas there are more drops in dramatics than that of the curtain. ENROLLMENT "American Government? Why, I thought that you were looking for snaps." Tatting furnished occupation for the girls while waiting their turn to enrol, but the boys—well, they beat a tattoo on each other noses with cards . . . . Yes, the ambulance is coming. A junior was unfortunate enough to drop his fountain pen in a crack in the floor of the gallery. With the aid of a borrowed hat pin, two pencils, some chewing gum, and a piece of string he soon recovered his Waterman. A freshman boy of the School of Fine Arts caused a momentary panic when he pulled a mouse from his pocket and tossed it upon the floor by his sisters. STUDENT OPINION He is Bored. Editor Daily Kansan: He is Bored. Headliner I wish to protest against the system of enrollment that is in vogue in this institution. I stand in line all day and get no nearer my advisers than I was yesterday. Is there anything that can be done to stop this? I am wondering if it is cusseted on the part of the students who are fortunate enough to look glancees with the boar dof advisers, or whether it is stupidity on the part of the last board of advisers, or whether it is that I am deuced bored.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor. Purge out of every heart the lurking grudge. Give us grace and strength to forbear and to persevere. Offenders, give us the grace to accept and to forbear offenders. A PRAVER Forgetful ourselves, help up to bear cheerfully the forgetfulness of others. Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare us to our friends, soften us to our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endowers. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in warch, and in all changes of fortune, and down to the death of death, loyal and loving one to another — R.
