Man is measured by deeds, not by inches.—From the Chinese.
ROUGH HOUSE TACTICS
A theatre is a place where a bunch of students go to throw programs, give vent to their college spirit. Sometimes "college students" even go as far as to rush upon the stage, stop the performance and do violence to the actors. This has not happened at the Bowersock theatre as yet, although it has been approached to a very narrow margin.
The other evening a splendid production was marred time and again by some faciotic person and his associates, who insisted they had paid the price of admission to the opera house for the purpose of their individual sport. And to have this sport they made neat little arrows out of programs and waste paper which they sailed at persons or onto the stage. Of course this was perfectly all right. It did not trouble anyone, and when a particular arrow happened to hit a particular person on the head, the "hurler of the weapon" and his associates set up a lugubrious howl. This added a great deal to the pleasure of those who attended the theatre for entertainment. The humor was so virile and pure that women and children alike laughed heartily at the College Man's attempts at fun.
Another thing which the sophisticated student did for those who wanted to enjoy the performance in a civilized manner, was to interpolate cries and remarks during the silent and dark effects. The efforts of the most obliqued lads were appreciated to the fullest degree by all as the time, during these effects which the stage manager had so carefully worked out, would have been lifeless only for the action of the students.
The theatre is a place for entertainment, not a rough house.
Those who go to the theatre for circus sport are to be excused. They probably have not had the opportunities of others. Perhaps they come from small communities which do not support opera houses. One never can talk about such things, and takes time for instincts of good breeding to stamp themselves upon growing students' character.
Regent Marble should prove helpful as a Builder of a greater University.
FRESHMEN, BE ALIVE.
The football smoker proved to be one of the headline attractions of the sporting season last year. More than 400 men enjoyed the event, which was the first of the kind in the school, and by so done honored men who made the football season a success. On Wednesday night of this week the second chance to do this honor for the men, who took bruises and broken bones for the glory of Kansas, will come.
To the freshmen who know not what is in store for them when they attend the smoker, we can say that the event will be entertaining, will be instructive, will be inspiring and will be filling. The last, of course refers to the "eats," which always make a hit.
The entertainment this year will surpass that of last year we are assured.
The K's will be awarded, Chancellor Strong and Manager Hamilton will speak, and there will be plenty of good clean Kansas spirit shown. The man who does not attend the smoker will find himself a "has been."
To try to study on Wednesday night when all your fellow "pals" are enjoying themselves at Fraternal Aid hall, would be folly. It would be waste of time, for what can a fitting mind absorb. With visions of *yellow*, good speeches, clever "stunts," and an appetizing lunch, what could a normal student do? Nothing, but dream over his books. Of course if you are a "dig," one who does not appreciate the worth of intercourse with friends or the social aspects of the school, you will have no trouble in keeping your nose to the printed lines and your mind full of knots, which never will be united until you have learned the art o "mixing."
Those freshmen who have not bought their tickets for the smoker are not urged to buy. They are hopeless, for if they have not realized already the importance of entering into the spirit of their university life, it is almost too late to urge them on.
Several college text-books are labeled as "Introductions." And like the usual introduction there are always those who fail to catch the name.
SILLY, AIN'T IT?
The professor was giving a lecture on Greek art, and the figures in the room glowed ghost-like in the rays reflected from a screen. The professor tapped the floor impatiently for the next slide, when the operator let it fall to the floor where it broke into a thousand pieces just as a sickly voice from the corner ueried:
"If Ganymede lived today, what would Hebe?"
"Man's sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought." "Indeed!" sneered the hard working stude, as he filled the first half of his quiz book with the simple and touching words of his wan song.
DRONES.
The drone is found throughout the world, wherever one wanders, and from very country of which one hears. indeed, drones seem to be a sort of necessary evil.
Being subject ourselves to acute attacks of laziness, we are not going to denounce the persons who do not like to work. It seems quite the natural thing that one should not like to take up a task. What we are aiming at are those parodies of men and women who will not work under any circumstances.
There is nothing more pitable than he sight of a person drifting along where there is least resistance, seemingly with no power to overcome his natural aginess.
Such a one is as bad as he who has not the will power to curb his bestial appetite. In the scale of worth to the world he is lower.
It is up to you individually to make your own class. If you are naturally industrious you are remarkable, and extremely fortunate. If you are woefully lazy and overcome your laziness, then every respect is due to you; you prove yourself to be a strong man, and one worth while.
But if you give way to your inclinations to take ease and let the other fellows do it all, you are about as worthless as any human specimens that the world produces.

Classify Yourself.
Preaching may be compared to lightning, of which it is said there are three kinds—the flash, the zigzag, and the slant. The flash looks like a pigege at it with wonder. The zigzag is here, and there, and everywhere, darting from cloud to cloud without any apparent object or effect. But the slant sends the bolt through the gnarled oak, and is mighty through God to the pulling down of strong-bolds—Pond.

STAND LIKE AN ANVIL.
"Stand like an anvill!" when the
of strife
Mane man falls fierce and
'last',
Storms but more deeply root the
tree.
Of stalwart men falls fierce and
feet.
Whose brawny arms embrace the blast.
"Stand like an anvil!" when the sparks
Fly tar and wide, a fiery shower;
Virtue and truth must still be marks
Where malice proves its want of
power.
"Stand like an anvill!" when the bar Lies reef and glowing on its breast; Drapes itself over the table.
Duty shall be life's leading star,
And conscious innocence its rest.
Princeton Tiger.
And conscious innocence its test.
"Stand like an anvil!" when the
"stand like an anvil!" when the sound of a gun is fired.
Of ponderous hammers pains the ear;
Thine but the still and stern rebound
Of the great heart that cannot
be loved.
"Stand like an anvill" Noise and heat
Are born of earth and die with
birth; The Lord, its course,
The angel.
The soul, like God, its source and
sot.
Is seldom, still, serene, sublime.

HE WOULD'T CUT
While others complain of the inadequate sidewalks, poor lighting, lack of water, and various other grievances. I should like to register a kick against the malicious practice of a certain University professor, who persists in giving quizzes on the last day before the holidays.
Already I have three quizzes to come on that day, and expect as many more. Of course, I understand that the professor wishes to have something to speculate about during vacation, but it seems to me that it is not treating them
Editor Daily Kansan:
exactly fair. On the last day of schoo, the mind of the average student begins to wander from his work to thots of home and mother, and the good dinners he is going to get. So he is hardly capable of exercising to his fullest extent various faculties of "attention," "association," "inhabitation," etc., which he has learned in psychology are necessary to "Recall."
Why, O. Professor, can't you trust the student to stick till the last day and give a few of your quizzes the first or the middle of the week? I believe it would result in less red ink marks and better feeling. And I do not believe a dozen students of the 2500 would take advantage of the fact to cut.
