The road to Death is most traveled.—From the Chinese.
CAMP FOLLOWERS
Every university in the land has its little annoyances in the way of camp followers, and supposed-to-be sympathizers. These abound on football days, and they walk up and down the bleachers, shouting to show their spirit, and daring anyone and everyone to bet a dollar.
They are the raucous voiced individuals who yell "rotten," "throw him out," and other bits of language that have no place in college rooting. They parade their so-called wit before the crowd, and demand recognition for their efforts. They might lead an outsider to believe that they are students who have become overly excited, and are merely expressing the sentiment of the entire student body.
Wouldn't it be a fine thing if the students could become indignant the next time one of these nuisances appear and gently but insistently eject him from the grounds? Why don't you try it?
Since David Starr Jordan has put the taboo on war there remains only one thing in which "all is fair."
But 9,999 graduates will flock into Lawrence for the first annual homecoming. Shove up there, fellows, there's always room for one more.
STUDENT ASSEMBLIES
The question of student assemblies, now before the University Council, is of the greatest importance to every student on the hill. The council is practically agreed that something of the kind is necessary and is considering several different schemes.
The need of assemblies, where the entire school can gather together for a common purpose, is not disputed. It is simply a question of finding a suitable plan. The present long chapel on Fridays is working an injustice to the 10:15 and 11:15 classes because of the time taken from them.
The council is seeking a plan whereby an hour during each week can be set aside for the students to get together and during which no classes will be held. The plan agreed upon must necessarily work no injustice to any particular classes and the time taken up must be equitably distributed. The new arrangement will presumably take the place of the long Friday chapel.
In the absence of a satisfactory scheme the Daily Kansan wishes to suggest the following plan to the council. By it the entire school would be brought together twice a week; one of the meetings to be given over to the student body and the other to be given over to outside speakers and members of the faculty.
Under the plan the morning schedule would be rearranged on Tuesday and Thursdays so as to shorten
each class five minutes and shorten the time between classes the same amount. In this way the students would make an extra effort to get to classes promptly and the faculty would sacrifice the same amount -f class time to the working out of the plan.
None of the classes would be unduly shortened and the loss of time would be little, if any, more than under the present system. On the two days mentioned morning classes would be over at 11:15 o'clock and the rest of the morning would be devoted to the assembly.
The class schedule would be handed out follows:
8:00---- 8:45
8:50—9:35
9:40—10:25
10:30 — 11:15.
Co-operation between faculty and the student body would insure the success of the assemblies. Once in operation it would prove one of the most potent influences that could be devised for welding the University into a homogeneous whole.
Entrance requirements are to be lowered. Why not pay some attention to the high exit requirements?
Saturday classes are being considered by the University Council. Pretty soon the alarm clock will never have a vacation.
Nebraska is sending out the conventional bear stories. Yet they still contend that Stiehm's men will crush the Hawyker.
TOO MUCH PLAY?
There used to be a popular superstition that every man in Kansas was a politician, but there is at least one in that state who isn't. He is Dean C. H. Johnston, of the University School of Education, of Topeka, and it is a moral certainty that he never expects to go before the people in an election, for he advocates depriving school children of their customary holidays, saving the vacation from the driving session to a week instead of five. The youngsters are in arms, as might be expected and as they will grow up some day and have the ballot, boys and girls alike, the political outlook for Prof. Johnston would appear to be a brunette one.
According to the professor there is no reason why the schools should remain closed three months out of the year, with a loss in efficiency to the organization. He believes that teachers are as able to get along with an annual vacation of two weeks as are clerks, business men, and other brain workers, while he thinks that the American child enjoys too much play, and is better off in school than on the street. Every fall, he declares, it takes three weeks for the instructors to overcome the evil effects of the vacation, which has upset discipline. He points his argument with the statement that in order to attain its greatest efficiency a machine must be run as many hours as possible.
The vital flaw in the argument, of course, is that school children are not machines; nor is it desirable that they should be. The factory child is a machine, but would Prof. Johnston go so far as to claim that he is superior to the school child? The modern tendency is entirely opposed to this theory. Not only is the vacation for teachers and pupils an escheanable custom, but the treasured processes are, constantly being thrown aside. The school child of the future not only will have vacations and plenty of them, but greater freedom, less studying to do, especially at home, and he will begin his schooling at a later age—Washington Post.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
CHARACTER AND REPUTATION There is a broad distinction between character and reputation, for one may be destroyed by slander, for another may be cherished save by its possession. Reputation in no man's keeping. You and I cannot determine what other men shall think and say about us. We can only determine what they ought to think of us and say about us, and we can only do this by acting squarely up to our convictions.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
I look along the columned years And see life's riven fane,
Forever hiss within my ears,
To break the sleep of pain.
Just where it fell amid the jeers
of scorpial flaws, whose mocking
an but own my life is vain,
A desert void of peace;
I missed the goal I sought to gain,
I missed the measure of the strain
That lull Fame's fever in the brain,
And bids earth's tumult cease.
Myself! alas for theme so poor,
A theme but rich in fear!
I stand a wreck on Error's shore,
A spectre not within the door,
A houseless shadow evermore,
An exile lingering here.
Some students get good marks for grinding, some for bluffing, some because they are wise, and some because they look wise. But the great truth is that most of them don't get good marks—Utah Chronicle.

To make me think the good, forget the mean,
Crush the Stiehm Roller.
And hear in every sound some strain of song.
Dear pines, my pines, if I can leave your shade,
Among the throngs of men, and let not fade
Descend the mountain side once more and be
The dream, the magic dream that comes from thee,
Then oft' to thee I shall return for aid,
Which thou alone, tall pines, can give to me

The treatment consists of three or four injections at intervals of one to two weeks and may be begun any Friday afternoon from 3 to 6 in room 203 Snow hall on or after October 25. This treatment is almost an absolute preventive of typhoid fever.
