Some department head writer
spells it Bull Meese. Or should we
say spells them?
WHY NOT?
Since the old-fashioned water barrel is coming in for so much publicity, it might be a good plan to start a poetic contest. It's a pretty safe guess that a normal stude will never be able to think of the water in poetic terms.
Our idea of useless worry includes that pertaining to the location of the Garden of Eden.
ON THE JOB AGAIN
It is with much joy and satisfaction that the regular staff announces the close of Journalism week, and we assume that our readers take the same view of the matter that we do.
The past week has been one ot drudgery for us. We are worn out in mind and body. We seem to have lost our pep. For verily we have spent countless minutes in a seemingly vain endeavor to do a semester's work in five days.
But we don't begrudge the time taken from this sheet. No, indeed. And we wish to extend our hand to the cubs and the department of journalism. The paper last week seemed to us of rather high standard, and worthy of our own efforts. Some may think that the department has it on us for efficiency but even if we did think so we should keep still about it.
It is rumored that several of the varsity swimmers are "plumb dipy" about the proposed Aquatic Club.
Wonder how many students took note of the fact that yesterday was the birthday of one of America's writers, Edgar Allen Poe?
Jay Hawk says that the nearest he ever came to going insane was the time he joined a chess club.
PROVIDE FOR SCHOOLS
PROVIDE FOR SCHOOLS In former years criticism has been directed on the heads of the educational institutions of the state because of the fact that they were spending time at Topeka, lobbying for big appropriations for their schools. Possibly there were some grounds for criticism but if so, it should not have been aimed at the executives of the Kansas schools of higher learning but at a system that made such a course of action necessary in order to secure appropriations that have enabled the state educational institutions of Kansas to take a high rank among the schools of the entire country.
This year similar criticism may be launched against the heads of the schools unless the legislature shall take some action that will provide for the schools of the state in a permanent way and eliminate for all time the necessity of the administrative heads of the institutions spending weeks at Topeka interviewing legislators and arguing the claims
and needs of their respective institutions.
Kansans are proud of their state schools and despite an occasional criticism it believes in supporting the institutions in a way to make them most efficient and most serviceable to the state. The way to show that appreciation is to provide for the permanent maintenance of the schools on a basis that will maintain the highest efficiency most economically.-Salina Journal.
Suggestion for suitable and useful class memorial—dig a well that will give up real water.
The Ergometer. We're glad that none of the regular staff fell onto that story.
RATHER PLEASANT
RATHER PLEASANT
The Jayhawk tromped on Washburn Friday night, and did the tromping up in good style, thus gaining partial revenge for a certain defeat last fall.
There was a good crowd out to witness the contest, although not as good as K. U. will send later in the season. For a victory over Washburn seemed practically certain. There seemed but small prospect for a good fight, and really there wasn't much fighting although the game was a better one than the score would indicate.
It is time to begin rooting right now, and take the basket-ball team through the season without a defeat if possible, and at least to the Missouri Valley Championship. And this year to the championship of both southern and northern divisions.
After looking over the list of requirements for a pledge to Sigma Delta Psi, we are led to wonder what the initiation is like.
DO YOU KNOW
That the University is not the stat poor house?
That an undertaker cannot do a mail order business?
That all newspapers are not news papers?
That the "bull movement" usually restricted to the stock exchange has spread?
That "home rule" does not imply domestic supremacy of the female? That student enterprise tickets would be a good thing to carry in the class room?
Jaysquawks By Ponce
In reviewing the career of the "Boys of Company B." we are forced to admit that Charles, as per usual, got all the money, lying around loose.
Root wants more men to tumble. Our antics, (and others) on the recent slippery-slide yclept Adams, would make a good act for his circus.
If the Cherokee Sentinel can prove that this department is a "Rich man's son" we will divvy up half the proceeds.
L'Anuiral is a French comedy in two acts. "L" being the first spasm and "Anuiral" the second.
We are very glad that some of the editorials that we are forced to read do not settle the matters that they discuss.
In order to allay any unjust suspicion we will state publicly that we did not hang the infernal machine upon the water barrel.
Politics will make an ass out of anybody who sticks with the game long enough.
And now that they have the duty of voting we expect that the women's debating society will indorse the candidacy of Laua Jean Libby and Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
For when the average editor takes his old-fashioned quill in hand he usually assumes the attitude of Atlas, upholding the universe.
Our experience with a pan of fudge is that is usually requires the services of a coroner, later.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
o be moved to our kids.
To earn a little, and to spend a little.
To make upon the whole a family
harmier for his presence.
A CREED
To renounce when that shall be necessary and not to be embattered. To keep a few friends but these without consultation—
Above all, on the same grim condi-
Above all, on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself—Here is a task for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.

Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges
Rawther Thick, We should Say The College Glee Club is one of the most enthusiastic, the most entertaining, as well as one of the best beloved organizations at Washburn.—Washburn Review.

POOR STUDES!
With faces drawn into wrinkles and deep lines from hard work and worry and the disappointment in connection with spending the Christmas vacation away from the old folks and the young folks at home, the small contingent of Washburnites that was left in Topeka when the holidays began have been spending their time going and coming between their rooming houses and the library or Chemistry laboratory, slaving to meet the requirements of a term theme or a smelly quiz.—Washburn Review.
Put Spirit In "Dry" Meeting The Prohibition Association held an inspiring monthly meeting on December 9, in the Gamma Sigma room.-Washburn Review.
Frank Parker, ex'12, will perform in a number of oriental dances at the Whitney Opera house this afternoon.—Chicago Maroon.
Attention, Mister Censor!
The inefficiency of some of the professors of the University is not shown so much by their lack of ability to teach and to instruct, but in a deficiency to control personal prejudices. The dislikes and likes of a college professor are like those of any other average individual, but the purpose of the professors in the class room does not warrant the abuse of his privilege in taking out his spite on the grade of the individual. The purpose of a University student is to work, and the amount of work and the standard thereof constitutes a means whereby to judge the efficiency of the student. It is as cowardly for the professor to take refuge behind the bulwarks of a misused privilege as it is for a student to take advantage of the intellectual discrepancies of some professors. Give the student a chance. J. G.
