The recognition by the State Board of Pharmacy of the Correspondence Course offered by the Extension Division is a very important matter. First, it is an official recognition of the value of the University's Extension Course by a State Board which governs the licensing of pharmacists—all young men who desire to practice pharmacy must pass this Board of Pharmacy Examinations and must have besides four years of practical experience. To the graduate in Pharmacy of the University the Board gives the following credits: "Graduates of the several courses in pharmacy may become 'registered pharmacists' in Kansas, without examination, upon application to the State Board of Pharmacy, on completion of actual experience in a drug store, as follows: "Graduates of the three-year course must have twenty-one months' experience." "Graduates of the two-year course must have thirty months' experience." "Graduates of the four-year course must have twelve months' experience." The Board certifies proficiency to graduates of the University School and credits for practical experience as above. For the extension work all pupils in the course are given credit for time in residence at University in terms of Practical Experience. Wisconsin is to have a course in football. A course in track would sound more sensible. THE FOOTBALL SMOKER The second annual football smoker will be held Wednesday evening, and in persuance with the custom started last year, undoubtedly will be an occasion of enjoyment for every man who attends. The scheme was tried for the first time last year, when over four hundred were present and had a much better time than at the former football banquets, where everyone had to be on their best behavior, and real cheering abstained from. Last year the four hundred gathered and listened to speeches from the men in the direction of the team, and saw such noble bodies perform as the Scoop Club, and other organizations on the "hill." There was plenty of smoke, and plenty of music, and pep to spare. The lunch was served in a very informal manner as any one who was present will testify, and the best part of it was, it was good and everybody had enough. This year, plans are being formulated to make the smoker a bigger success than ever, and every man who stays away is going to miss one of the best times that any college student ever had a chance to have. And he is not only going to miss a good time, but will lay himself liable to the charge of being pepless, which to a Kansan, is a term of deep reproach. Don't look at this smoker from a selfish viewpoint. Think of the football team, and how the men denied themselves things that they desired to keep in training. Think of the knocks they received and of the be on sale the latter part of this made up. Then consider that this is the last time this year that you will have a chance to do honor to them publicly, and act accordingly. Tickets, in the form of tags, will be on sael the latter part of this week. If you really men it when you say that you are proud of the team, you will be wearing one of these tags as soon as they appear The tighthead and the drone will no doubt remain undecorated. The Daily Kansan is pleased to anounce the election of Harlan Thompson to the position of managing editor, and of Henry Maloy to the Daily Kansan Board. OUR THOUSAND DISTRACTIONS Can the average Wisconsin student keep his mind on his studies? We hate to say "No"; but "No" must be the answer. Should we say "Yes" the journalist would never forgive us, for he well knows that he is haunted night and day for fear "the story" will escape. In his quiet room or in the classroom, he feels a burden hanging over him; and be he ever so resolute to strict attention to his lecturer, his mind tricks him, and off it goes and wanders in search of material for his daily columns. The actor knows that he must have his "lines" by night; and, try as he may, the same monotonous rumbling of questions and replies buzzes in his head; and his class work for the day necessarily suffers. The athlete nurses a lame foot or shoulder; the pending game is ever on his mind; he must get those signals down "pat"; and while the professor is attempting to drive home a point, I am hitting the line for a ten yard rain. Mable, too, has her troubles. She has two bids for the Friday night lance, and to play fair she has "made a mess of it"; consequently the last lecture was "awfully dry." Then there's the business manager; it's eleven o'clock and no "ads." No one can describe his agonies during the next hour. More numerous is the distinguished commiteeeman who must positively call a meeting today. If you see him rushing through the corridors, think not that he is storming for his next recitation. No, he must find "Bill." Chances are he doesn't find him, and you might as well offer him Mother Winslow's as try to soothe him with philosophy. There's a meeting at four o'clock, another at five, and three more in the evening, besides a special at eleven. You pick up a book with a sigh of relief, and for the half hour to what is "accomplished" in session number two, discovering probably that your whole scheme fell through or that you lost the election. The mental strain is too much, but you keep right on plotting another scheme or hatching out another idea. There's no use trying to get the French verses tonight; and the day has ended for you—and for everyone else. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS Neither retrospection nor introspection can analyze our active student life differently. There are elections and initiations from September to June. For what? Into what? Each student must answer such questions himself. Unless he is retired, each student will work side more empty "honors," the other he drops that work the better it will be. Over activity in "student affairs" is certainly a bane upon our college life—Wisconsin Daily News. The sympathetic-ink remains colorless and invisible, so long as the paper upon which it has been used is cold, but becomes a fine blue or green hue thereafter. The hidden beauty of some men's natures can be revealed they must be thrown into the heated furnace and pass through the fiery trial of affliction, but no fury warrants that. To scorch a man into despair so long as there stands by him the form of one like unto the Son of God—Anon. TRIAL OF AFFLICTION The Daily Kanman will publish in his space juvenileverities of its readers. OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE Nor hang most faith on the stoutest steepe. Don't borrow a creed from other people. Look up for your law, but oh! look bigger Than the hands on any human spire, If ten thou talke, and you think That never 'tis ten to one They are right, you wrong; for no It never can make you false, them true. Is not a thing of majority That there's more of them than there is of you: If your touch is on Truth's garment's hem, There is more of you than a world of them 'Tis not alone in the Orient region that a certain hero's name is Legion. Nor was it only for once to be That the whole hardy together you Your zenith for no man else is true! Your beam from the sun comes alone And the thought the great God gave your brain the whole herd together ran down to the sea. Roy Stockwell.

OH, FOR A DRINK! Editor Daily Kansan: —Edward Sill. A Dry One. Why in the name of the Sahara desert and all of the other dry and sandy wastes doesn't the Board of Regents or E. E. Brown or whoever is in control, why again don't they buy a few gallons of distilled water and place them where a thirsty and parched body of students may relieve their terrible dessicated condition. At least some one might be granted a short term franchise for the sale of lemonade or some other thirst quencher. The lectures are dry enough, but with no water to cool our parched and aching throats life is growing unbearable. Please es tablish an gasis. "One Concerned" very appropriately calls attention thru last evening's Kansan to an error appearing in the diary pages of the Y. M. C. A handbook. As the editor of that publication may I mention another error appearing on page 40, wherein I wrote that "The biggestons" on March 16th. The Easter recess begins on the 20th, as noted on the same page. CORRECTIONS Editor Daily Kansan; The calendar printed on the inside front cover page is in error one day for the months of March, April, May and June. In other respects the book will be found a safe guide. These mistakes appear in portions of the book for which proof was not submitted and consequently they were not detected in time to correct them.
