WE'RE WILLING In a caustic communication yesterday, two stories appearing in the columns of the Daily Kansan were roasted. Good! We like it. But the writer seems to be under the impression that he is the ideal person to hold down the position of managing editor. Now if he will call at the office and demonstrate that he can handle the cubs, if he can do this one thing, we're willing to allow him to take the reins in his hands and "show us up." Today the student can write 12-12-12 as the date on his letter to the home folks. Those who write this today will not have the chance to write the day, the month and the year in the same manner, until 2010. Then we will be too busy to pay much attention to mundane affairs. "Will Do Enrolling Now In Single Day," reads a headline. Well that sounds familiar. ALL IN SHAPE? How about it, when you leave home for the holidays? That is how about your school work? Got everything in good shape have you, or are you putting it off until you get home and have more leisure? Better be careful. There are six more school days and then none for two weeks. Which, obviously, is a long time. But how many students will put any part of their vacation into study? Think over what you have done in the past, and get your work up before you leave and you will be taking no chance. Football may be a lady-like game when it comes to holding, but Sir Percival contends that it cawnt compare with billiards. Some of the professors have be come excellent marksmen. It is hoped that this shooting craze does not develop into a mania for giving "shot-gun" quizzes. PEP? WELL, YES. The football smoker is over but the memory of it will long remain. Last night, over 700 students and faculty members met in Fratern Aid Hall and had the time of their lives. It wasn't merely a feed and talk fest; it was the Kansas Spirit rampant. And we venture to say that not a person attended who was not glad to be there. The success of this second annual football smoker makes certain a continuation of the affair. And there is no longer any doubt but that the custom as it now is, is far superior to the formal banquets that have been held in years gone by. Every man seemed to enjoy himself and the cheering was not restricted as it formerly was. There is no Kansan who. is not proud of the team. This was shown last night when the majority of the men students paid their fifty cents gladly to do its members honor, and still further shown by the expressions of regret on the part of those who could not be present. The pep that the students had last night was great. There is no better way to describe it. It was demonstrated clearly that the spirit shown in the week intervening between the Nebraska and Missouri games was not a flash, but that the spirit is there all the while and blazes forth upon occasion. The smoker is now a tradition. Let's keep it and make it a better and bigger one each year. Many thanks and a fortune are due the person who invents a collapsible drinking cup that will not vattle. It is all right to speak of marriage ties, but did you ever notice the popularity of the slip knot in many of them. FAVORITE FICTION Wider walks. Good enrollment system. Fine water. Mr. Editor, I have a fine bunch » new jokes concerning the P. C. Our idea of extravagance is $13,000 for a fiddle. The Daily Kansan points with pride to the fate that its slang expressions do not include "I gotohu." Students of the University of Arkansas, at Little Rock, will hold a mass meeting December 13 for the purpose of making a united effort to get the University on a one mill tax basis. NOW K. U. SENIORS AND THE JAYHAWKER- There is an inexplicable tendency on the part of most students to let things "slide" until necessity compels action. That this habitual tendency should be apparent in the underclassman or the Junior is certainly regretable, but in either of these cases we may find some excuse for it. When it comes to the much-esteemed and ever-excaled Senior, there is undoubtedly no excuse for such laxity. Year after year we hear the same seemingly inevitable appeal from the Liber, liber Seniors to hand in their Liber slips and photos. Without a single exception every Senior class for the last seven or eight years has failed to perform these two simple tasks on time. There is but little need of mentioning the delay which delinquent Seniors cause the printers, or those who are endeavoring to compile the necessary contents of the Liber. The Senior whom others are bound to imitate, should not set such an example to the members of the lower classes. More than this, from the standpoint of punctuality and self-propriety, the Senior should see to it that he performs these duties in the required time. The date, when the Liber slips and photos are due, is here, and immediate response on the part of the Seniors is necessary. Thus far the class of 1913 cannot be accused of laxity in this respect, but from what has continually occurred in the past, and from the procrastination apparent this year, it seems that the young man who heard were shortly striking its annual querulous note—Brown Daily Herald. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS It is only when Time, with reckless hand, has torn out half the leaves from the book of human life that it may be able to recover from day to day, that man begins to see that the leaves which remain are few in number, and to remember, that the book was written at that time, that upon the earlier pages of that book were written stories of happy innocence, which we would have forgotten, the same lieutenant resolution and the inevitable reaction of despair, or else the firm resolve to record upon the leaves that the child has witnessed than the child's story with which the book began—Longfellow. TIME The Daily Kanman will publish in Contributions welcome. — The Editor.

STUDENT OPINION A down town paper came out the other day with an article to the effect that seven of our fair co-eds have written to a bachelor's club out at Stockton that they wished to get into communication with the members of it and possibly make brighter a few lives out in that desolate part of the state. What are we going to this? Why do they go so far away to look for suitors? Are there not men right in school who would make good husbands? I know that there are scores of boys here who would like to get acquainted with girls (object matrimony) but they have not had the opportunity. I would like to see a bachelor's club started here.

We should congratulate ourselves on being within a student body which is not crabbed, but one which looks upon the favorable and shining side rather than the dark and gloomy. From appearances at this time we will all be boosters instead of 'knackers.' Criticism is certain to make about such an Exposition and every error discovered by the students should be made known at once to those delegated by the students to manage the Exposition, so such errors may be corrected.
