There is no vice so simple but assasin- ment. In his outward parts—Shakespeare, A TRAGEDY TO AVOID A. Man, the Legislature. Suit of Clothes, the University. Price Tag, the Appropriation. (Time elapses between Acts I and II) ACT I. A. Man is buying a Suit of Clothes. He is interested only in the Price Tags attached. After some hesitation he purchases a Suit at a ridiculously low price. (A. Man leaves stage with Happy Expression. Orchestra plays Quickstep.) Curtain. ACT II. A. Man, at his home, locks at his Suit. He finds the Suit corresponds much too closely to the Price he has paid—it is full of moth holes. (A. Man is angry and looks Vainly Regretful. Orchestra plays Hearts and Flowers.) Quick Curtain. The only objection to the manner in which the snow was finally removed from the ice on Potter lake. is that the same process also removed the ice. HAVE YOU AN IDEA? Bronze doors, decorative arches, censent seats and statuary are some of the things that have been talked about. Have you anything better to suggest? There will evidently will be no opposition *v*b the plan for class memorials on Mount Oread. The question that seems to be up to the different classes for decision is not whether they will leave a memorial but what sort of a memorial they will leave. HE BOUGHT A STAMP HE BOUGHT A STAMP "You go to school here, don't you?" "Certainly." "You are interested in the growth "You are interested in the growth of the University, aren't you?" "Yes." "You know there's nothing to this talk about the budget being outrageously high, don't you?" "I certainly do, why we need twice as much equipment in our lab —" "Have you or any of your friends let your representative in the legislature know the student's side of the question?" "Why, no." "You know, do you not, that they hear plainly from those who are unfriendly to the University, many of whom do not know actual conditions here?" "Well yes, I suppose they do." "And you haven't done anything to correct any erroneous impressions which may—" "Stop right there. Say, will my representative get a letter if it is addressed to him at the State House?" Think of it! The University women are going to organize a debating society to learn how to talk! FEEL LIKE A PLUTOCRAT? The 1820 students at the University who are self supporting will be surprised to learn that our institution is referred to by a few Kansas newspapers as "the rich man's school." Perhaps these papers mean to be complimentary, however, and, are talking about the students whose parents are Kansas farmers. The chief of the campus detective force might also try his hand on some of those "cases" around Spooner library. DO YOU KNOW That a boiled egg and a fried egg are the same thing before they are cooked? That the University is a plant that grows both in summer and winter? That a cub reporter has a lot to bear? That you cannot flunk in a subect if you do not take it? Perhaps the nerve specialists in the University hospital at Rosedale will make scientific use of the Varsity Chess club by sending patients to its meetings for treatment. BUSINESS PRINCIPLES APPLY We hear a great deal about running our state "just like a business institution," yet some of the politicians are objecting to the University budget for no other reason than that it is large. A merchant who is building a new store up on main street doesn't think only of the expense he is put to. He plans to invest his money wisely and expects good returns. A commonwealth might do well to follow the merchant's procedure. If the lower hall in Fraser becomes much more congested at chapel time the Daily Kansan suggests that the University place a traffic policeman at that position. --stand up, speak out, and bravely, In God's name. PERCY ADOLPHUS REGINALD PERCY ADOLPHUS REGINALD The three higher educational institutions of the state in their pursuit of a worthy end seem to use a name that makes them appear as though trying to commit suicide without getting hurt. They are endeavoring to get the legislature to submit to a vote of the people a constitutional amendment that is everywhere referred to as the Mill "Tax." The three state schools had better rechristen their infant before he gets too old and too well known. There seems to be no use in handcapping a perfectly healthy child with the unreasonable name, Percy Adolphus Reginald. Don't these learned institutions know that everyone always shys at the word "tax?" Anyway, the measure isn't any more of a tax than the legislative appropriation is at present. The idea is to make the income which the schools already receive direct from the state treasury and not to burden the people with any more "taxes." The Permanent Income Bill would be a much better name for the measure. Yesterday's Daily speaks of the suicide of a pan of fudge. Who wants to be the coroner? The University Daily Kansan is in the midst of a "Journalism Week." It is believed Professor Thorpe got the idea from Tom L. Masson, who is soon to issue a "humorous number" of Life—Kansas City Star. NE MAY TRY A STUDENT'S NUMBER NEXT. The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome.—The Editor. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE We are not here to play, to dream, to drift. BE STRONG Shun not the struggle; face it. 'Ris God's gift.' We have hard work to do, and load to lift. Say not the days are evil—who's to blame? And fold the hands and acquiesce— O shame! It matters not how deep entrenched the wrong, How hard the battle goes, the day how long, "AN INSIDE KICK" Faint not, fight on! Dean Crumbine Says Tomorrow comes the song. —Maltbie Davenport Babcock. THAT MARKED COIN That story of the coin, marked with the letters K. U. reminds me of the University of Kansas man who has not only marked, but has also crossed the last few years. The coins cannot be detected though thousands are in circulation. Editor Daily Kansan: No, the man is not a criminal but is engaged in a legitimate occupation. He is working in a government mint. ADVICE TO RALPH Editor Daily Kansan: Editor Daily Kansan: Heath is a normal functioning of body, mind and soul. Please tell Ralph that in these days when food is scarce and the cost of living high, it will be well to pass up the pony and cart. It is not only the expense of keeping a pony but also the added cost which would come from the wish to live as should a boy with a dog-cart. With the Shetland pony he will wish to wear sporty clothes, attend social events and entertainments suitable for owners of ponies and cars—all of which cost money. Take the hundred dollars, Ralph. C. C. S. Truly all masculine readers are interested in the women and we are glad that they have no fond desire to waft a brick at the Engineering building, but we object to turning a part of the Kansan into a "Ladies Home Journal". It might take too much room and besides the Kansan is a conservative paper. A rather interesting editorial by the fair editor of the Kansan of Jan. 15th dwells at length on the irresponsible and downtrodden position of the women in the University. It further remarks that their watchword is "solidarity." Now there may be something to the position taken but in the mind of one masculine reader, it smacks of harshness. At the next election the women of Kansas are going to vote. It will be interesting to watch them get together. Mayhap their slogan will be "Remember the Mill Tax." Go ahead and organize your chess club, debating club, or educational society but please don't rub it in. P. The Wilson county club will meet Monday, at 7:15, in room 110, Fraser hall. Urgent business will be transacted. All announcements for this column should be handed to the news editor before 11 a. m. 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. The Quill club will meet at Squire's studio at 12:30 Saturday, January 18, to have the picture taken for the annual. All members be there promptly. Dean F, W. Blackmar will address the Graduate Club on "Spanish Civilization in the Southwest," on Tuesday, January 21, at 4:30 p.m., room 202, Administration building. An important business meeting will be held after the lecture. Sophomore enrollment—At the College enrollment on February 8th each sophomore is requested to go to the adviser with whom he arranged his studies in September. Those who desire to consult in advance in regard to their elections may make appointments with their advisers for that purpose. The chairman of the committee may be seen, during the remainder of the term, at room 5, Administration building, from 9:30 to 10:15 on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, or by appointment.
