Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
Lawrence.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913.
Blessed is he who expects nothing,
for he shall never be disappointed.
Pope John Paul II
"Fair orators to convene?" Headline. Maybe so, but we've never yet seen a fair orator when there was a chance to be otherwise.
ELIGIBILITY
Students engaged in the various activities of the University who are subject to eligibility rules should make every effort in their power to see that they do not lag behind in requirements.
And once they are behind, they should see the eligibility committee and come to some understanding with its members. To do this would be fair to everyone concerned, while to continue in the rut is unfair to themselves, to the committee, and to the head of the activity in which he has a part. If students would do this there would be less misunderstanding, and more harmony in every line of student enterprise.
The Daily Kansan regrets that three communications relating to the spring poem contest and the proposed questions and answers column came in too late for publication. Communications must be in the hand of the editor by three o'clock the day preceding their publication.
ECONOMY
The fact that the 1913 Jayhawker is in danger of losing money should cause every student to sit up and take notice. Until February 1, annual tickets may be purchased for $2.50.
If you are going to buy an annual this year, it would be a great help to the annual board if you would place your order immediately. It means economy to get a ticket for one now; and you can spare the money just as well at the present time as later.
Surely 1000 students out of 2408 will, buy a Jayhawker. If not, it may be up to the seniors to make up a deficit. How does the University look at this matter?
CRAMMING
Don't cram. Students, guard your health. It's not that you run any great risk of injury to the brain through overwork. It's not that any sudden shock to your mental faculties in the way of consistent effort might prove fatal. It's none of a dozen reasons we might mention. The danger lies here: Do you know a landlady who enjoys having you sit up with your books into the wee small hours of the night, with the electric light shedding its mellow rays in every corner and the meter running off kilowatt hours or whatever hours they are?
The lady of the house seldom appreciates the dire need for this.
Consequently, she feels that she cannot conscientiously let the furnace burn on. Now you get the point undoubtedly. At least you who live in furniture heated houses do.
For a cold room is not conducive to good health. Neither is it good for the temper. It is likely to make the student wish to say something real reproachful when the landlady asks him if he fell asleep reading his book. Bear in mind that several students have changed addresses already this year.
The remedy is very simple. Do not cram. Flunk if you must but under no circumstances should you put your health and the good will of your landlady in the way of being sacrificed.
With the advent of so many spring poems, one might almost expect to see the grass turn green overnight.
We have been asked to write an editorial on the subject, "The Aeroplane in War." The subject is too high sounding for us.
WHAT UNIVERSITIES COST
The U. S. Bureau of Education compiled statistics for the school year 1999-10 showing the per capita cost to the State of maintaining such a system which presented the following facts;
Wisconsin . $311
Michigan . 204
Nebraska . 143
Missouri . 200
Cornell . 364
Columbia . 274
Yale . 293
Iowa . 181
Ohio State . 191
Chicago . 246
Stanford . 283
California . 330
Minnesota . 169
Illinois . 194
Texas . 160
Kansas (1911-12) . 157
The present legislature will much mistake the temper of the people, we believe, if it acts upon the theory that they are not willing to pay the price of keeping their University at least within speaking distance of the great schools in other States—Iola Register.
Jaysquawks By Ponce
We never knew until the other night how much we preferred Rabbit to Spring Chicken.
Notice
"Mis Pearl Cox, a junior in the College, has the grip." Maybe some coed will turn up with the lost trunk yet.
We suggest that the owner of the bridal trousseau publish a list of the contents of the trunk. Might helpOME.
It might be a good plan for the daring society to regulate their prices as to the position of the hole. If the hole is above the shoe-top, stick 'em a little harder, but if the hole is in the toe or heel, go easier.
Speaking from a climatic and political standpoint, we are forced to hand out the news that Kansas is a mental attitude, a brainstorm, as it were.
The missionary and explorer of Africa could do some bully work on the Mount of Oread.
The investigation of the Masque Club Play reminds us of some of the Senatorial Investigations which have been conducted. Let's see. The Boys of Company B appeared some time in December, did it not?
We wish to warn the Spring Poem Editor that we are oiling up our old owling piece.
We are pleased to note that Registrar Foster has not changed our address.
Now that the owner of the Myserious Rag has been found we can sleep in peace.
The "Doughty Ninrods" should be ashamed of their chasing that poor rabbit. It was perfectly tame, and he property of the manager of the "Spring Maid" company.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.

A few years ago Kansas University was getting a bigger appropriation than the University of Minnesota. Last year the University of Minnesota got four million dollars more than Kansas - Iola Register.

Says
Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges
Copyreader—Here's a story about a policeman reaching headquarters with two drunks over his shoulders. What kind of a head shall I put on it?
Some Big Gym, Yas?
Some Big Gym, Yas?
Dartmouth College has a gymnasium so large that a full sized baseball diamond was laid on its floor last spring and the men practiced daily.
Old Lady—They tell me you are a college man now. Are you a Columbia man?
Evidently the suffragette is coming into her own in college circles at least. A charming co-ed of Washington University has become the "roster queen" there and leads yells with the ease and ability of a man while Louisiana State University has a co-eed representative on its Varsity debating team.
No. 999 - No, can't you see, I'm a Penn man? - Columbia Jaster.

Fine! Water For This Tug
The freshman-sophomore rush at
Columbia took the form of a tug
of war. A stream of water was
kept playing over the starting point
at the centre of the rope in order to
give the losers a drenching.
City Editor—"Policeman wears a pair of tights around his neck," will do—Chaparral.
To Make Themselves Solid
The sophomore class of A. & M.
have given some beautiful concrete
goal posts to the college.
To Make Themselves Solid
The 1,320 students who are working their way through the University of Kansas are naturally surprised to hear that numerous demagogues are referring to the university as a "rich men's school." -Kansas City Star.
Minnesota co-eds are making a plea that the "M" be given to them in acknowledgement of athletic proficiency.
M-M-M-Why Not?
—Chicago Tribune.
Fair Visitor—My gracious, what a room, and look at that mirror. I'd just like to see myself dressing in that.
WE ARE
"Brother Haddesty, can't you make your contribution for the education of the heathen a little larger this year?"
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
"Dr. Goodman, I'm more than doubling it; I have just started that youngest boy of mine to college."
New Bell Hop—Yes Ma'ma, so would I.—Cornell Widow.

INTRODUCTORY ECONOMICS
This new course is recommended to the general student who is interested in biology and to the student who is preparing to teach botany, zoology, or agriculture in the high school. It is a general introduction to the life of the insect world. Its aim is to lead the student into a fuller appreciation of nature by a study of the varied and interesting life histories of insects. This course is a combination of lecture and laboratory work, in which an abundance of illustrative material will be used. It is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors, who have had zoology either in high school or in College. This course is offered by Professor Hunter and Mr. Hungerford.

Great benefits for you
MAYBE you feel that you have clothes enough; but it seems to us as if the prices we're making in our clearance sales ought to change your opinion about it.
clothes really don't need much price inducement to make them sell; but we like to finish up a season's business clean and clear; and we're offering values that ought to do it. Come and see them.
