ONE EXCITED CITIZEN SEES
HOLOCAUST IN BONFIIRR
By Myer Hansman.
Marysville High School, Jan. 9—The Marysville high school basketball team defeated the fast Onaga high school team at Marysville New Year's day, 52 to 46.
The victory was properly celebrated that night by a big bonfire and a snake dance through the streets, winding up with a visit to the picture shows. During the celebration one of the citizens who did not walk was on, turned in a fire alarm and helped materially to swell the crowd.
The Maraysville high school basketball team defeated the Blue Rapids school team Friday evening, Jan. 3, on the Blue Rapids court, 27 to 15.
The University counts as its most important practical work for the state the training of thousands of the state's young men and women to be efficient and public-spirited citizens who will exercise the most beneficent influence on public opinion.
The training and placing of teachers, superintendents and principals for Kansas schools, together with the visitation and reorganization of the Kansas high schools, has been one of the University's most fruitful fields of labor.
The water analysis and milk analysis in connection with the state board of health is one means utilized by the University to give the whole people the benefit of its laboratory equipment.

Friday and Saturday are fruit salad days at Wiedemann's.-Adv.
I wouldn't for the world say anything that would tend to make college girls defiant or antagonistic, but it amazes me that young aspirants for university degrees can be content to indulge their talk so continually with trivialities. Learning does much for the college going young man or woman, but it doesn't seem to make them pleasanter to talk with than their elders of much less education, at least, until they get older.
Many young people who grow "like a forest oak — by neglect," are as well off conversationally, so far as the sentiment in their dialogue is concerned. Those adults who have to depend at all upon college breeding youth for their concentration, are wad like that of a dairy farm deprived of its cows, with only calves left.
WHEN A WOMAN IS INTERESTING.
I am always reminded of a Punch cartoon that showed a young beauty sitting alone with a matron while the men were all gathered round a woman of 30. "I can't imagine what the men are doing." No woman is worth looking at after it, but she's beautiful, petulant, "No, my dear, nor talking to before!" replied the older woman.
AND NOW WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TALK
Like the cock and the fox in the fable of Martin fe France, college young people under 25
Chatter when they should be dumb And when they ought to speak are
Prone to every conceivable conversational vice, they talk universally in the language of wages. While one cannot say that they are not well bred, they are given to the unbreeding of excess—excess in compliments, excess in adverse criticism, excess in striving after wit, excess in laughter.
MANY ARE CATCH WORD FRIENDS.
Much of the vociferous talk of college students is directed indiscriminately against men, whose more acquaintance is limited to their institution, men who, along with everything else admirable, have in them several sorts of superiority besides that of having been college students.
MANY ARE CATCH WORD FIENDS.
The High School Student who expects to Go Into Business
He may either "work his way" into business as the old-fashioned lawyer worked his way into law, or he may get an expert knowledge of the business first as the modern lawyer does of law.
Undergraduates are sometimes phraseologists and catch-word fiends. Their talk often consists of the pettish sort of jokelets or pretty speeches, which make very sickly conversion. More often it is college song nonsense, tiresomely reiterated and carried to the point of buffoonery. They are splendid babblers and waggers, but conversationalists, never!
Among its 800 courses the University of Kansas has many that deal directly or indirectly with the principles and practice of almost every business pursuit.
In either case he will probably start his business life "at the bottom," but with a sound education to help him he can go ahead faster and farther than by the other plan.

VOCATION EDITOR University Daily Kansan Lawrence, Kansas
has his choice of two plans:
Not only that, but they usually expect their conversers to do all the listening. They do not try to entertain and interest others by talk to gratify themselves, like children.
These youthful conversationalists talk so much without reflection that they can be understood.
I don't mean to say that we ought to expect the talk of college students to abound in "freezing immunities of the pulit," nor to be esthetic or classical, but we can expect it to be indicative of having emanated from trained minds. Certainly, the truly wise relax at times and sport in trifles, but they always talk nicely even on trivial themes. Non-sense can be delightful as easily as undeightly. Unexpected hyperbole is often witty, but stale repetitions of nonsense such as we are obliged to hear continuously do not constitute wit.
Good conversation is the nimbleness of mind to take the chance word of the accidental subject and play upon it, and make it pass from guest to guest at dinner or in the drawing room. It is the religion to fashion, and the avoidance to any phase of any subject which might stir the irasible talker to controversy.
A clever and mature woman, describing the effects of a tornado, said：“As I looked out the air was quite dark with my intimate friends.” Not this sort of encounters are proprieties and delicacies of discourse are vouchsafed immature college students.
COMMITTEES NAME STUDENTS FOR BOARD
DOES NOT EXPECT MUCH.
Select Bodman, Wingart and Weede to Represent Undergraduates
Russel J. Bodman and Wayne Wingert were elected as student members of the joint board of the University Exposition, at a meeting of the various committees of the exposition yesterday. This joint board is composed of three members from the faculty and three from the student body, and is the court of final appeal in settling all questions related to the event. The big event May 2 and 3. The third member from the student body is Orlin Weede, president of the exposition.
All the committees chosen for the exposition were at the meeting, and after the general session short sessions of the committees were held. At the meeting of the executive committee the chairmen of the different school committees were instructed to get their committees together and formulate tentative plans for the exhibits of their schools.
These reports will be presented at the next meeting of the executive committee to be held the third Thursday of this month.
It has been definitely decided that the May Fete will be held May 3, the second day of the exposition.
