Gold is tested by fire; man, by gold—From the Chinese.
COURTESY
The part of host is a trying one under any circumstances and much more so under conditions of high tension and enthusiasm. Several thousand visitors were entertained last Saturday and all agreed that their treatment was all that could be desired. Even the disconsolete Missourians praised the spirit of sportsmanship shown by their Jay-hawker hosts.
In former times it was a brave man who dared separate himself from his comrades when invading a hostile football camp. Many times the fights-off the gridiron were much bloodier than the battles between the teams. Baker will corroborate this statement.
The spirit of friendliness and sportsmanship shown by Kansas this year and by Missouri last year is to be commended. It marks the passing of the old wringlings and bickerings and sometimes even worse that have marred such occasions in the past.
How's this? A student was gazing at the pennants in a downtown store the other day when he noticed a large pennant of a popular brand of chocolates. "Why," he exclaimed, "that must be a colored school."
The Daily Kansan regrets to announce to its readers the resignation of Wayne Wingart from the position of managing editor. Tryouts for the position are being held now.
IN TOUCH WITH HOME.
Students, busy with many things are wont to neglect their correspondence to the folks at home to so great an extent that it is little wonder that some parents hesitate to allow their boys and girls to enter the University. This neglect is noticeable especially among the upper classmen who seem to find it difficult to get the time, or something to write about.
Yet everyone knows that the upper per classmen are more likely to have time than the freshmen, as the latter rarely get their work systematized before the end of the second semester, and there are many things to distract the first year men. Of course the upper classmen belong to more societies usually, and are compelled to spend more time in a social way, but to lag behind in the matter of a letter home every once in a while seems unpardonable.
Ten minutes once a week would suffice for the actual amount of time necessary for a letter, and would go a long way toward making those at home feel that you are not growing away from them entirely. Of course if you have no interest in the old town except to keep father posted on the day the remittance is due, this advice wasted. If, however, you would do the right thing, you would keep the whole family posted on you and your affairs at the University by writing to each member a letter every week.
Try it for a while and see if it is appreciated.
The P. C. has balked again. But there is no cause for complaint, as the clock in the library is still on the job.
A news story has it that forward passes are badly neglected. The trouble may lie in the fact that the defensive team rarely does neglect them. Witness a touchdown by one Howard, of Nebraska.
VACATIONS.
Vacations are short intervals that come too seldom for the student to realize that they are come until they are gone. Professors take a keen delight in vacations. It affords them time to prepare terrible quizzes for just after they are over, quizzes that no student can look at unfinchingly.
And aside from affording the faculty an opportunity to prepare these quizzes, vacations give the students ample leisure to study for them, and catch up in the courses in which they are lagging. All of which is easily explained, and very simple.
The wonder is this, and it leaves no room for doubt that the faculty has a keeper understanding than the students: Why can't the latter understand such a simple thing as a vacation as the former does?
The hardest worker on earth has been discovered. Contrary to our ideas concerning the matter, the person is not an editor of a college paper.
When a student assembly scheme is adopted, what a paradise it will be for chapel daters.
THERE ARE OTHERS.
Any one who has walked up the "hill" between classes could not help realizing that the sidewalks are hopelessly inadequate for accommodating the great number of students who now attend the university. Not only are the walks overcrowded, but many students unwilling to push their way through the mass, walk on the grass—or where the grass was—thus doing much to destroy the beauty of the campaise. When Dr. Drechler of Berlin, Germany was visiting the university, the knack was in his ability to university of Wisconsin had a campus as beautiful as it would be in case the present paths worn across its surface were obliterated, the Doctor could have said that our campus was the most beautiful he had ever seen. At any rate, one of the greatest factors in destroying the beauty of the upper campus is found in the long strips of bare earth which parallel the sidewalks.
When those sidewalks were built, the University of Wisconsin was much smaller than it now is. If the men who planned those walks had any idea of the greatness which our university would attain, they made no provision for the increase in attendance; but as is usual with such undertakings, they undoubtedly went ahead without thought for the future, which was left to take care of itself. Up to the present time, the future has not done very much in improving upon the inadequate accesses constructed by the past; and, as a result those who are in a hurry to go up or down the hill are compelled either to fight their way through a closely packed moving mass of people or to get off the sidewalks and travel on the grass. As she has outgrown many other things, so the University of Wisconsin has outgrown these narrow sidewalks, which, by the way, are badly cracked and poorly drained. Can we not have some new and adequate walk's?—Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.

CIL. PLEASE READ
The Y. M. C. A. handbook gives the date for the beginning of classes after the Christmas holidays at January 7, Tuesday. Probably there are many students, like the writer, living on branch railroads that do not run on Sunday who cherished the fond hope that they could be at home over Sunday, Jan. 5, without incurring the wrath of their instructors by cutting classes Monday. When the writer went to the proper authorities for corroboration, that is, in the hopes of corrobiation, he found that the question is unanswered. Now why did not the University Council give us that Monday? Holidays are granted on various other occasions not so important, it seems to the writer, as this. Please think about it, O University Council, and you students who are concerned, how nice it would be.
