FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1912.
Large buildings usually have low foundations.-From the Chinese.
CLASS FOOTBALL
Mr. Big Husky, if you failed to make the Varsity team, or if you didn't have pep enough to stick it out, gather your frame together and trot over to McCook field and mix it up in class football. Something ought to be due from you besides brilliant class work.
And you men you tell how you used to do it in high school, tear away from your easy chair, and go out and illustrate your lectures. Don't be a drone. Help your class win the championship.
In years gone by, some excellent material has been found among the class team recruits, and this year should prove no exception. At any rate you should show up and take a chance on being an undiscovered star.
Getting into college is now easier under the new entrance requirements. But smoking a cigarette in Fraser hall will continue to be the most expeditious means of getting out.
A MORAL
We are warned that the thirteenth remaining school days of this month may prove a hoodoo. If a man were starving and had thirdeen days to regain his normal condition would he wait until the twelfth day or would he begin eating slowly and keep up his steady diet until he had his fill. Obviously he would begin eating as soon as possible. Do you get the moral?
GET BEHIND IT
Elsewhere in this paper is an article explaining plans for a grand University Exposition. That the plan is a good one there is not a doubt. The advantage that it would be to the University of Kansas is obvious.
Out over the state among a certain class of people the idea seems prevalent that we of the University are not practical in the work that we do. Our task is to show them that we are practical, and that our work is of a kind to produce real results and not merely to give an uncertain knowledge of intangible theory.
The way is clear before us in the proposed Exposition. All that remains is to adopt plans that will make the Exposition a success, and to see that our parents and friends become interested enough to attend. Once they are here we are confident that their notions (if they have any) about the impractibility of this institution will vanish.
It means work to arrange for such an Exposition, and every one connected with the University should make it a duty to get behind the plan and aid it directly as well as morally. Moral support is good but it takes real effort to make things go. And this being the first thing of its kind ever attempted by
the University of Kansas, it is going to mean the material support and co-operation of everyone, beginning right now, and not next week.
It is sometimes a fact that a few do all the work of an enterprise. It is necessary to have someone in charge to direct the work, and in the case of an affair as big as this Exposition several directors are necessary. It is hardly necessary to add that Kansas students are men enough to do their share, and not throw all the burden upon someone else.
Meanwhile get busy and boost.
It is up to the students to say whether they want the Exposition.
Considering what it will mean to old K. U., we don't see how they can vote against it.
Our mind reverts to the cap pistol of boyhood when in reading of the sharphooters we see that "intercollegiate matches will be shot off."
A more appropriate place than K. U. for the sessions of a Society of Criminal Law and Criminology would be George Fitch's Siwash College.
THINGS THEY NEVER TELL US Fine paper you boys are getting out. How do you manage to keep your class work up in such fine shape?
I never kicked a football more than twenty yards in my life.
My dog is in no way remarkable.
I'd have gone to Nebraska but I had lost my pep.
I never had a date.
My hair has always been thin and hard to comb.
The Lawrence water situation is in truth these days to University students a dry subject.
I HAVEN'T TIME.
How often one hears the complaint made by students when asked to do anything slightly out of their way. "Oh, I haven't time." Ask one to serve on a committee in society or class, "I simply can't spare the time." Why did Miss Smith not have her lesson prepared this morning? "Oh, I didn't have the time." Why does that not big, husky fellow over there go out and fill up the weak places in the football team? He too "does not have the time."
It would be no exaggeration to say that the greatest per cent of students make statements similar to the above several times during the course of each week to excuse themselves for failure to do their duty. For failure to find time to do things that are expected of one is certainly nothing more nor less than neglect of maybe, assuredly morally, who "cannot find the time" One never who is really busy and is really capable. Such a man can always "find the time" or even make time in which to do what is required of him in one way or another.
Did it ever occur to you that it is in this fact that there lies the secret of the other -man's success? The reason why honors in student government or in every other community seem to be monopolized by a few individuals is simply because they have the time. It is not so much that marks the difference between success and failure. It is rather the capacity to find time for everything that one is required to do. It is the capacity to make the best possible use of one's time. And success is a distinction to which the man who "hasn't got the time" can never hope to attain.-Ottawa Campus.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOY S
Men and women make their own beauty orugine. Bulwer speaks in one of his novels of a man "who was uglier than he had any business to be," and, if we could but read it, every human being has an eye and a good-looking, or the reverse, as that life has been good or evil. On our features the fine chisels of thought and emotion are eternally at work.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Now the nights are all passed over Of our dreaming, where dreams
Now the days are all gone over Of our singing, love by lover—
Days of summer-colored seas,
Days of many melodies.
Now the kiss of child and mother
The speech of sister and both-
selves
Are but with us as strange words,
Or old songs of last years birds
In a mist of fair false things—
Niebs with quiet folded wings.
"Why did she break the engagement with Tom?"
Now all good that comes and goes is
"She advised him to be economical and he started by getting her an imitation diamond."—Philadelphia Bulletin.
As the smell of last year's roses
As the shining in our ees
Of dead summer in pait skies.
—Swimburne.
I have read your classification of college students. You say that you found it in your copy basket and that you suspect a member of the faculty. I don't believe a word of it. I do believe, however, that you do the tastes of University of Kansas students a rank injustice.
'TWAS ROTTEN.
Fat Studes—That bed's rather narrow for two.
I wear a mackinaw coat, and just because I do I don't think that I ought to be classed as a rough among those who say "believe me," and chew spearmint gum. Purhermore often wear a shirt. Purhermore have no right to say that I sing at night or flunk in snap courses.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Lowe-Why do the leaves of this book stav tothere?
But all that I could forgive.
Where you overstepped all bounds of justice in was where you classed the laws in with the roughs and Daily Kansan bunch and mention the engineers not as much. We were as you are as the laws will testify. Next time please give the engineers a place.
A Disgruntled One.
Sportive Student (in booth)—
Hello, Central, give me hea-ven-
acid tone from receiver—If I wan-
e a lady, I'd give you—
Click!
—Yale Record.
Cyrus (before curtain rises)—Come on, Mirandi, let's get our money back. We seen this goldburned asbestos show last year.
Logic Prof. (gazing at ceiling)---The reason that man is the more general term is that man embraces woman.
Landlady--Three have slept in F. S. Yes, but, haven't been born since.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND
*OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Coach—What the deuce do you mean by refusing to kick the field goal?
Class (filing out)—Gee, what good prof.
Stanford Chaparral.
—Stanford Chaparral.
—Columbia Jester.
Downe—Oh, they're bound to do that.
*player—Sorry, coach, but I promi-
nently that I'd never touch my
mother.*
-Williams Purple Cow.
—Michigan Gargoyle.
