Ill can he rule the great that cannot reach the small. - Spenser.
The Daily Kansan is pleased to announce the following as elected to the Kansan Board: Omar Hite, Earl Plowman, Wayne Wingart, and Henry Maloy.
HELP!
Do you know that barely thirty men have turned out for track? Do you realize that K. U. is short of men in nearly every event? If you do know this, how are you going to take it?
Going to sit around home and pat yourself on the chest thinking that next year you will have more pep and will be able to run away from every track man in the conference? Dear sprinters and distance men, jumpers or whatever you are, don't hesitate. It is likely that that manly front of yours will never bear a "K" if you wait until you have the pep necessary to make you feel industrious and ambitious.
Get out and lend your aid to K. U., not so much from a personal stand-point as from a desire to see that the Jayhawk has the best that there is. You may be the very cog that is needed to make a winning track team.
Bear in mind that the Kansan's spring poetry contest does not bar valentine poems. In fact these will be seized upon eagerly.
And now the head writer is spelling it vooded.
EXAMINATION
Examination is a mental grilling process that is carried on by the Profa so they can have an excuse for flunking students they do not like, but who have kept up their daily work so well that it would be inadvisable to hand them a goose egg without having some good reason.
The first examination of course was given by Adam (it is necessary to bring this gentleman's name into all expositive articles) but we are unable to discover just what the first quiz he pulled off. One time Adam missed his can of fish bait and he was not certain' whether Cain or Abel took it, so he held an examation when the two little shavers came home, to find out who had hooked his can of worms. Cain flunked. He had swiped the bait.
This was probably the first examination. The next examination will be held on Mt. Oread two weeks from now, and, as was the case above, about fifty per cent will flunk. Examinations on Mt. Oread differ. An examination in Freshman Hygiene consists of ooing down the list of 'names' thus: One, two, three, flunk; one, two, three, flunk. In such a class, if your names happen to be
a multiple of four, you get to take Hygeine again during your sophomore year.
However there are exams of other species. Some Professors have the questions worked out on a mathematical basis, as if our think tanks were built on a geometrical plan. In this kind of an examination a good joke counts for nothing in the eyes of the heartless instructor, and if the ninety-nine questions are not answered in ninety-nine answers you get a post card from the dean.
Examinations like all other barbarous customs are fast becoming extinct except in Kansas where the students are veritable Spartans as regards stoicism in such matters.
We see that a laboratory class was baking bread the other day. It is thought that a good many of them are prone to loaf at such times.
Directory statistics show that man is more migratory than woman. After considering the matter carefully we have come to the conclusion that there's a reason.
WEWOULD SERVE YOU
If a sufficient number of students wish it, the Daily Kansan will start a column of questions and answers. This column will deal with all the problems that are met with while in the University and we believe will prove of great benefit to the lower classes.
Everything pertaining to behavior, or pertaining to the rules and regulations of the University could be settled with no trouble to yourself except that of asking the question. In a pinch we might hunt up beauty recipes if theail were urgent enough.
If you think that such a column, once a week, or every other week would be a good thing and of any benefit, send in your opinion. Or if you think the other way about it, give your objections. We should like to get the students' ideas before we begin such a feature.
There's a fortune waiting for the man who invents a paste that will not dry out. And salvation, perhaps, for he will do much toward keeping language undefiled.
Jaysquawks By Ponce
"Bill Would Make Sweeping Changes" says the headline again. Might be well to state that "Bill" is not the janitor, but merely a proposed statute.
The reason that men change their addresses more often than women is because men go broke trying to establish a permanent address for the coeds.
We refuse to say anything about the spring poetry contest. We have a sixteen gage shotgun that speaks for itself.
And we can't help but think that "Commanche" is now giving somebody the horse-laugh.
And we refuse to countenance the assertion that Freshman coeds are of an average age of 19 plus. Paragraph. No one could get as wise as the average first year coed in that short space of time.
Jay Hawk says that a son of Governor Hodges visited at the Kappa. house Sunday. Sorry we failed to see him. Intended to have words with him concerning the present political situation.
Again we insist that the Washburn pencil pushers consult a bean specialist. They are entirely too superlative.
Heard later that Jay Hawk was mistaken. It was some one else.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Pray for powers equal to your tasks!
Then the doing of your work shall be
enjoyed.
THE MIRACLE
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
THE MIRACLE
Q do not pray for easy lives!
But you shalt be a miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come in you by the grace of God.
O do not pray for easy lives
Pray to be stronger men!
But you shall be a miracle.

Says
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Agricultural Prof—What is the best environment for calves?
*Student*- Silk stockings. -William, 'urple Cow.
"Going to walk all the way up to the postoffice?"
"No, little one, I'm going to meet it half way."-Stanford Chaparral
He (bragging)—There is not a coed in our small college.
"Yes, he got fifteen pennants in
the state tournament coups.
"'Stanford Chapalari."
She—That is why it is still a small college. —Vermont Crabble.
Prof—Give an example of an image inary spheroid.
Stude—A rooster's egg, sir.—Cornell Widow.
We should like to, J. H., but kindly bear in mind that we are students too, and that final quizzes are approaching with appalling rapidity.
She—I suppose you wish you were free to marry again.
He—Oh no! I simply wish I were free, my dear.—Pennsylvania Punch Bowl.
'13—What's your roommate like?'
'16—Darn near everything I've got—Cornell Widow.
"Dad, wont you join us?"
"What do you think I am, daughter? A minister?—Pennsylvania Punch Bowl.
She—Is it true that a sailor has a wife in every port?
Old Salt-It it that mum. And a parrot to fuss at him at sat, too. But a horse to fuss at him at sat, too.
If you would look after the wants of the students a little more and not try to do the high brow stunt so often I believe that your sheet would be received more cordially than it is now. Not that I do not like the D. K. as it is but I think it could be made better. For instance, get us up early when your pamper about once a week. Lampoon the professors. Tell them just what you think of the way that quizzes are conducted. Lower the professorial egoism. Do this and the students will think more of you than ever.
