MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1912.
He who sees his folly in his youth is fortunate—From the Chinese.
While busily engaged in thinking it over, the question popped into our mind as to whether the Rifle Club has power to fire any of its newly elected officers.
The poor old ice man comes in for jokes and headlines winter and summer. He never gets the cold shoulder.
POLITENESS
The student who read a Saturday Evening Post during a class period and attracted his neighbor's attention from the lecture was merely selfish. His selfishness was not, however, so noticeable as that of the student who monopolized all the reference books in the library that were reserved for a certain course. In both cases the students war
In both cases the students were also impolite, because impolitness is, basically, selfishness.
Some people tell us that this sort of people, the polite and unselfish kind, is growing less, year by year
The young man or the young woman who goes out of his way to direct a confused visitor on the hill to the building where a lecture is being given is both polite and unselfish. He is also the kind of young person that everyone wants to know, the type that is universally admired.
The University of Wisconsin, says the Daily News, is facing a deficit and must borrow $150,000 from the state to meet the payroll which falls due December 8.
Wouldn't University men and women do well to combat, by example this theory?
HELP OLD K. U.
When you have been graduated from this University, will you be able to say that you did any thing to help it generally, that is, as a whole? You should, and you have an excellent opportunity in the present situation.
When you go home for the holidays, what are you going to do? Here's a suggestion. Familiarize yourself with the mill tax and talk it up with the folk at home. It will not take much time, and will certainly be worth while. Try it.
And this little service to K. U. should not be limited to the ranks of the men students either.
This water situation is getting so old that it is dusty.
NOT SO BAD
September, October, November,
and half of December have passed.
Nothing very wonderful in that. No,
not on the face of it, but consider,
please that during all this time, there
has not been a single case of student
discipline. That's pretty good for a
bunch of hoodlums and toughs. Yes,
indeed.
The Student Council hears such cases as cribbing, *playing poker*, shooting craps, general disorder.
drunkenness, etc. Not a one up to date, not even a case of smoking cigarettes on the campus.
Moreover, scholarship is better than ever before. The students have shown more spirit than they are wont to show. There has been nothing resembling a riot in the celebrations that have been held.
Which ought to open the eyes of some of the people of the State of Kansas to the fact that any other than gentlemen and ladies have no place in the State University.
And it ought to make our critics who pretend to be emitting true stories about our inclinations toward roughness, it ought to make them go back in the shadow and stay there. But it will not. The genus knocker has not the intelligence to know when he ceases to be amusing and becomes a bore.
An educational circus is to be in tents. So was the mental process that evolved this excellent scheme.
"Box Supper Brings New Tennis Court."—Big high school story headline. Why make such a racket about it?
Even a booster is tiresome if he becomes too vehement.
Cheer leaders at Columbia University are chosen by the board of student representatives on a merit system.
HERE AND OUTSIDE
Not often does the "Californian" essay to advise the individual how he may best order his existence. This is a task which falls rather to the lot of those more seasoned in experience. And yet, here is a word which we venture to offer, that it may be taken for whatever it is worth.
The University Man—the University—the Outside World. Between these three there must be some uncertainty of relationship. Just how closely should one exclude himself in the recesses of his cloister? To what extent should be commingle ativity in the city and the state with academic life? As in most cases, there is a mean, somewhere between the hermit and the busybody. To find it is the question.
No one will gainisay that a fundamental purpose of the University is to fit men and women for better citizenship. Some, resting on this premise, reason that its helief and foremost use is as a seat of operations, a base for the campaign of outside work Things may be learned in the morning and applied in the afternoon. A tool, versily, with which to carve out the designs which are so aptly the crying need of society.
We feel this deduction to be grossly erroneous; the logic, entirely at fault. So far as an undergraduate considers his membership in the Unierview a mere incident to his interests and measures in the larger sphere, he loses a part of what is offered. The University life is a great Athe army is drilled before trusted on a battlefield, so the man taught the use of his faculties before his own real battle. He who intrudes himself, half equipped, into the affray, is a meddler and a troublemaker.
This must not be taken as a plea to the student that he ignore the vital problems of political and social life. But any accurate solution of these demands a tried and tested mental poise. The youth with determination of "better conditions in the world," can begin no more wiser than by watching those conditions from his University vantage point. Not disinterest, rather enthusiasm, vocate, but a little observation of Affairs. Before saying, "This is wrong; I must correct it," why not devote some attention to a study less simple than many would believe; the Science of Solutions?—Daily Californian.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
SCIENCE
When Science keeps within its proper bounds, when it is content to discover the hidden things of physical nature and with its inventions contribute to the lapping of man, of man, of man, of man. It vades the domain of morals, it runs the risk of being pursued and driven back by the lawful rulers there.

"Well, well, that's nothing to cry about."
Let the empty flower-dust at my feet,
Remind me, of your neck you wear.
In mourning you I shall rejoice:
Go; for the bitter word may be
A praise in the corrupted voice.
And let your dew through frost look fak.
And on the dead face I may see How bright its form has been to

And watch your lovely shadow flit
Then in the haunted grass I'll sit,

So, real thing of bloom and breath,
I weary of you while you stay;

And vex her with your perfect

Ten new student writers have been supplied the students of journalism at the University of Kansas, and four-score heavy-fingered cub reporters are kept busy, the Daily Kansan says, pounding out this well known sentiment:

HERE'S ANOTHER.
I was highly interested in the communication in last night's Kansan concerning a bachelor's club. This is my last year in school and as I have worked most of my way through I have not had the time, money or inclination to get the name of being a "tusser." As I have had all that I do not have the opportunity to enter into the social activities which the club enjoys, and consequently have not met many girls. Could there not be some way to form such a club?
THAT MISERABLE MONDAY.
Editor Daily Kansan.
Would it not be a good idea for the Daily Kansan to publish the quotations of the metal market everyday, for students in the Engineering School and those taking courses in Economic Geology, Minerology and the like. It means a good deal to some to know the standing of the market and very few have access to any other paper than the Kansan.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Another One.
Several days ago the question was brought up in this column in regard to whether we should not be given another day's vacation, on Jan. 6, 1913, for the benefit of those students living on branch lines of a railroad where trains do not run Sundays. Without this day as a holiday many people will practically be forced to miss classes all day Monday.
Many of those interested are anxious to learn if any decision has been reached on this proposition. Let's hear from more of these branch-liners—NOW
