Speak low if you speak love.→ Shakespeare.
Knockiness may be nicer than bow-
legs, as a high school story suggests,
but we would like for someone to
prove it.
WE BEG TO REFRAIN
The following, which for certain reasons that must be obvious we refrain from explaining, is taken from a news story:
At present there are almost 700 reserved seats, and these, with 700 or more seats, and these, with 700 seating capacity of about 1400 besides standing room upstairs.
The reserved seat arrangements is Manager Hamilton's own idea of giving everyone a clear view of the court at all times.
BASKETBALL
It is true that towards the close of the season when the championship games are approaching, considerable interest is evinced. But right now there seems to be considerable apathy regarding the prospects of the men who will represent the Red and Blue.
The basketball season is upon us. Indeed we could tell it merely from the weather. For probably this same reason that it is played at a time when cold and slushy weather is the rule, basketball does not get the support that it deserves.
And there is another reason aside from the bad weather. The students have become so used to a winning basket ball team that they regard it as a sure thing almost.
Let reverses come, however, and you would see the students rally to the team's support, and make the ascent of Mt. Oread no matter how slick the walk or deep the snow. Owing to the fact that the room is inadequate t accommodate a large crowd may also deter a great many from attending more than a few games during the season.
And at that most students see as many or more basketball games as football.
"Things warm up in basket ball."
—Headline. You would never think so to see the uniforms.
UTILITY-A SERMON
A violent hankering after riches is a peculiarity of a good many people. The number who can thrown out equally large gobs of enthusiasm when it comes to the matter of following out approved methods for attaining those ends is, however smaller. That is to say, the average citizen's taste for wealth and success is not so impelling as his inherent distaste for their prerequisites, hard work and single-minded concentration.
This is a libel on human nature, but it is true, more or less, and perhaps it helps to explain why, in point of numbers at least, rich men do not predominate in this world.
So with a good many undergradu.
ates. Dreams of shining as eminent engineers, distinguished legal lights, and architects of nation-wide renown, do not always jibe with first-class gilt-edged methods of achieving these things. The necessary casual connection between a broad foundational training and later prosperity, is either not always seen, or being seen, is disregarded. Hence the demand, so insistent in the rush and fury of modern life, for those countless short cuts to knowledge so well exemplified in two-year law schools, engineering courses by mail, "business colleges" which offer "thorough commercial training in months or your money back," and a series of university schemes.
This unfortunately common tendency is perhaps one explanation of the marked bias of many students away from the courses not conspicuously practical and toward those more obviously so. Thoroughly apprehensive that we may be getting into too deep water when we essay the discussion of subjects such as this, we nevertheless think that if professors and instructors took a look at what makes clear the scolom-wanting relation between present study and future use, better results all around would be obtained. This, of course, is truer, if truth there be in these remarks at all, of the so-called "cultural" courses of those which are planned solely with a view to practical training for later life. Even the disagreeable task becomes endurable, yes, almost pleasant—when with its accomplishment there abides the knowledge that it will one day bear fruit in tangible results—Cornell Daily Sun.
We see that "rep" is slang for republican. Thus reputation is losing out, little by little.
Prof. Merle Thorpe, head of the department of journalism at K. U., lifted up his voice and wept Tuesday when the Daily Kansas, which usually is a model editorially, reportorially and typographically, used "Xmas" in a first page headline—Kansas City Star.
Too true, but although the Daily Kansan splits an occasional infinitive, pies a story or so, garbles its grammar to suit its own taste, and terms a slug upsidedown for fun tumi-occasionally, it begs to submit this. It does not allow a tired headwriter to refer to Bulgarians as Bulgars. Nor yet suffragists as "suff."
Did the Greenwood County students serve punch and eggnog, or were they served?
Jaysquawks By Ponce
An old grad received a quarter back the other day that he turned loose while a student, years ago. Wonder if the coin has the same magnitude in his eyes now as then?
It might be well at the start to state that the University Daily Kanan should not be held responsible for anything that appears in this column.
Saw two girls fall down on Adams this morning. We gave a hee-haw, slipped and fell on the new Christmas fountain pen.
Might state also that the writer is an irresponsible person.
The denial of the "erroneous statement" does not alter the fact that about a thousand students and faculty members cannot agree with Arthur St. Leger's "conscientious" recommendation to the Board of Regents.
Dr. Mallory, of the Harvard Medical College has discovered a whooping cough bacillus. Sorry, Doctor, but this department had it years ago.
"The Girl from Rector's" company is stranded at Moberly as the result of the "light of publicity" thrown on it by the University Missouri-Columbia, Mo. has had a narrow escape. What if the show had broken up in Columbia?
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its reader. Contributions welcome...The Editor.

SOMETHING DOING
At Our Sister Colleges
They hurt Big Game.
The alumni association of the University of North Dakota has started a league of teams whose focus of putting all the branches of athletics on a better basis, especially football. This is to be accomplished by the raising of more cash and securing football games with some of the larger colleges. Early season games are contemptified with the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota and probably a late game with Michigan should the latter be brought back into the conference.
