The University extension division has received requests for package libraries from 48 women's clubs of Kansas. We trust that no bundle will go forth without a White House cookbook. ENCOURAGING POETRY According to the reports published yesterday, 137 students have shifted their residences. isn't it about time for some kuttup to coin that gay jest to the effect that it is cheaper to move than please the landlady. The Daily Kansan has never made it a custom to pat itself upon its editorial back. Although not infrequently occasions have arisen during the past year where important campus reforms have been directly brought about on the initiative and through the support of the Daily Kansan, the student newspaper has never drawn attention to its work. "I wish to offer my congratulations to the Daily Kausan upon the inauguration of a contest tending to encourage the writing of poetry by undergraduates. I have felt ever since my appointment to the faculty that the student attitude toward poetics was rather a harsh one; indeed, I have found that the actual original exercises in writing verse were looked upon by the majority of students in my classes as drudgery." But so marked is the approval voiced in the following communication from a member of the faculty who wishes his name withheld that the Daily Kansan feels that it would betray the trust imposed upon it by the student body if it did not print the article: "When I read the plan of your paper to encourage the writing of poetry, I considered it a peculiarly happy one. That it has borne fruit almost immediately cannot be doubted when one reads these lines, penned with the fervor of a Rossetti, which I believe are from a contribution in your last evening's issue: "Ah! There down between the stubble Bursts a single floweret gay—"Such a move upon the part of the Daily Kansan looks toward the day when I am confident our American universities will hold tournaments of poetics as important as those of that day when Sappho won the laurels in the rare old Hellenic contests." 2403 GRAVEN IMAGES The lungs of the Kansas rooter must be fearfully and wonderfully made. From all appearances these organs hibernate in the winter months and only partially revive in the spring. It is true that their activity in the fall is not equaled either in quantity or quality, but we question whether a year's rest is necessary for that habitable result. In short, we reserve our cheering for the football season exclusively. To judge from the amount of yelling we have only one sport that deserves any consideration whatever. The opening game of the basket-ball season revealed the same collection; of graven images that has always looked on these contests with about the same vocal disturbance as the Sphinx. Just why we should organize Thundering Thousands and invent yells and stunts for use during a few weeks in the fall has never been discovered. It is true that football is our greatest sport, but are not any of the others worthy ofcommendation? If cheering will win rampage battles, will it not help our basket tossers and track athletes also? The gym is an ideal place for roaming. Instead of it being necessary to fill up a considerable portion of Douglas County with noise before the effect is appreciable we need only emit a few cubic meters of sound waves to convince the opponents and inform our team that the same old Jay Hawk is among those present. The desire for such rooting is evident to everyone. The unorganized shouts that unconsciously burst from our lips during the critical moments and the scattered applause that follows each brilliant play is but the result of this desire. May we then not give our basket-ball and other athletic teams the same organized support that our gridiron warriors enjoy and to which they are entitled by reason of their work and sacrifices to uphold the honora of the school. Professor Dunlap advised the undergraduates yesterday to read their Bibles. A better policy right now would be a review of lecture notes. We must draw the line somewhere in our Spring Poem contest. No "prose poems" will be accepted. "Students who do not sign their enterprise tickets will be refused admittance at the basket-ball games hereafter," says a notice. Where in h- do they have basket-ball games? DON'T ASK US Who bought the triceratops into the public eye. Who started the fad of writing editorials and communications concerning the water barrel. Why the walks are narrow. What is the greatest number of books that a single student can corner the library at one time. Why students persist in wearing mackinaws. Why students who visit the museum every day never see any of its sights. Pardon, please, we mean specimens. "Smokers Under Ban On Montana's Campus," says a headline. They generally stay under cover here. In spite of reports to the contrary, the four professors who were entertained by the home economics girls last night with a twenty cent dinner, were able to attend classes as usual today. Now that the "Mystery of the Missing Powder Rag" has been unraveled we suppose that the agitation against this class of terpsichorean exercise will break out afresh. How we happened to run out of "from the Chinese." If you believe that story of the missing trunk is true so do we. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor. Follow the deer? Follow the Christ, of the King. Man am 1 grown, a man's work must 1 Man. LOVE'S MAGIC int king; int queen, speak, trust, *right* wrong follow the *King* —Tennyson. Avoid patent medicines as you would a pestilence. Says Else, wherefore born? Dean Simpkins' relations got awfully sore When he married a model named Ann, But "Father," said he, "You always told me That I was a model young man." —Cornell Widow. A—There was a big rooming house dynamited this morning. Did you hear about it? A—That's strange. The air was full of rumors —Yale Record. B—No, I did not. Ignorant Landlady—How can keep this house quiet? Rude Stude—Aw shut it up. Cornell Widow AND HERE'S ANOTHER Editor the Kansan: keep this house quiet. Rude Stude—Aw shut it up. I want to protest against your asking poem contest. It is danger-ous. STUDENT OPINION Cornell Widow. I took occasion last night to read the selection published to my family and within one hour my little girl was taken violently ill with the cough. ADAM A MORMON? Editor Daily Kansan: Can't something be done? Arthur E. Mackinnon. I read your article in the Kansan last week* pertaining to the identification of a bone you stated that the collection of bones was Adam sure because one of them had been broken and taken the trouble to walk over there and I find that not only one of the late Mister Adam's ribs is gone but eight or ten others are also not. F. M.B. As I said in my reply to the Triceratops story, I think you do your readers an injustice by drawing such images. How do you know that one of those ribs that are gone went to make Adam's wife? And if it went to such purpose what did they do to make him go? How to make more wives for Adam I suppose. See if the guy that thought he said something smart to my objection to the Triceratops story to this also. I believe that especially at this time is the publication of such nonsense especially harmful to our university and to true purposes of our institution What would a legislator think or pick up a supposition represented by me? It is a series of quatrains depicting golfing in a vulgar manner? Our English department is making a worthy effort to teach the undergraduate the true beauty of poetry and the mechanics of the art. If you feel that you must run poetry, why not select some of the best of the somets submitted by the English students for their class work? A Well Wisher I notice that someone has started a spring poem column in your paper. Can't something be done to prevent this? WHAT NEXT? Editor, Daily Kansas Consarn Those Trusts! Consarn Those Trusts! The statement has gone out from Mt. Oread that the University must have the appropriations asked for in the two million dollar budget or lose rank as one of the twenty-two leading educational institutions of the country. The twenty-two referred to constitute the "University trust" of America that has assumed the power to rule all the colleges. The purpose of study, library and laboratory equipment and virtually dictates to its membership the amount of money that must be spent annually for maintenance and buildings. The colleges of the country are all striving to retain the good will of the trust no matter what a strain it may be on the purses of their own supporting patrons. It would be well for the college heads to study their own people a little more and pay a little less heed to the artificial standards required of the associated colleges. —Salina Union. Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges Well, Well! Will Will It?
