COUNTY CLUBS Is your county represented in the University by one of those militant organizations known as County Clubs? If not, wouldn't it be a good thing for you to stir around a little and start one? The first business of a County Club is to further the interests of the University. More than eight or nine members are not necessary and in fact, a county with a small representation here should be able to accomplish more than those who number students by the dozen, because it could act more as a unit. Is it worth your while to get the students from your part of the state together, even as a social body? It must be, and considering the good that these bands of students may do this University, it is doubly worth while. Or perchance your county has already been organized. If so, are you a member? You owe it to your home and to the University of Kansas to see that you are. These clubs are in communication with the people back home, and are telling them of K. U., what her worth is, and what her interests are. Don't leave everything to the other fellow, but show a little life yourself. Stand with your county and for the University, and see if you can't accomplish something. You ought to, as you undoubtedly are acquainted with some persons whom other members of the club are not. Try it awhile and see. The Y. M. C. A. proposes to canvass the student district. Which shows that the work of the association will be intense. We are glad to see rats coming into prominence after so many months of bee-hive coiffures. A SUGGESTION It has long been a custom in the University to make the writing and staging of the Senior Play a closed affair. The play has been written, at least theoretically, by the members of the Senior Play committee, chosen from the members of the senior class. The result has sometimes been satisfactory and sometimes, it must be admitted, decidedly unsatisfactory. It is at best a matter of choice. It is the opinion of the Daily Kansan that it would be a great improvement in the handling of this problem to throw the writing of the play open to any student of the University and to offer a suitable prize for the one accepted. The plays submitted could be passed upon by those in charge of the staging of the production. If this method were followed the play would be the best that the student body was capable of producing, instead of a play, as has sometimes been the case in the past which was hurriedly patched together by the committee appointed. There have been years when according to report, the play was not even written by university students, but was the work of an outsider for which the play committee got the credit. This is nothing less than plain fraud and should be made impossible of repetition. There can be no objection to throwing the play open to all the students as the best play would win the prize offered and the class would profit accordingly. Under the plan suggested the management of the play would announce publicly the conditions of the contest and state the kind of plays that would be acceptable. The contestants should be required to submit their efforts early enough for the necessary changes to be made and active work started on producing the play. The parts should be restricted to members of the senior class, as has been the case in former years. The appointing of a few students to write the play and the eliminating of all others from any part in it is unfair. The plan of open competition will make the play more truly representative of the school and there will be no criticism of the manner in which it was written. The matter of a Senior Play is one in which merit should come before the awarding of political plums. Moving picture films of an educational nature are being shown throughout the Kansas towns, which proves our former assertion that education is not at a standstill. The senior laws are going to carry silver headed canes. Wonder if they will stick to it through snow time? "I was very glad," a freshman remarked yesterday, "to find that the new directory is for free distribution." Missouri is going to attempt to rown out Rock Chalk with her two thousand rooters. But then Rock chalk has considerable swell also. FRIENDS It is a sobering thing to lose a friendship. You can not lose often, a real friend, a "blood-brother" as he was one time called. Still, when you have lost the friendiness of a man whose regard you prized, it hurts. It is hard to feel it in the head of its name and you have lost a great thing. It seems petty, that you might lose a friend because you are on opposite sides in class politics. It is a sad thought that rivalry in some activity can bring about the loss of understanding. It does often do that, and the prize is not worth the cost. Hard words, suspicions and all that are small and mean. If your participation in some activity is going to cause a friend to turn from you, it seems as though your participation is wrong. While we are in college let us hold fast to our friends and leave the other things to the world. Four years of friendship are surely worth more than our little mimic success gained here. If you have a principle to fight for, fight with all your power, but if you just want to be happy, you have started with a little purpose and your success must seem the name to you—Wisconsin Daily News OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS Musical! how much lies in that. A musical thought is one spoken by a mind that has penetrated into the innermost heart of the thing, deeming it noble, and which represents of its namely, the melody that lies hidden in it, the inward harmony of coherence which is its soul, whereby it exists and has a right to be in this world. The music of it are melodious, naturally utter themselves in song. The meaning of song goes deep. Who is there that in logical words can express the effect music has on us? A kind of word is something omnivorous which leads us to the edge of the Infinite, and lets us for moments gaze into that—Carlyle.

Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind! Mind! Brightness in dungeons, Liberty! thou art, For there thy habitation is the heart— The heart which love of thee alone can understand And when thy sons to fetter are consigned— To fetters, and the damp vault's dayless gloom, Their country conquerors with their martyrdom, And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind Chillon! thy prison is a holy place, And the treasured altar for 'twas trowd, Until his very steps have left a trace Worn, as if the cold pavement were a soot, By Rasmine's may none those marks efface! For they appeal from tyranny to For they appeal from tyranny to God. Lord Byron. Dean Sweeney of Minnesota addressed the Pan-Hellenic meeting and urged all girls to leave all dancing parties at eleven o'clock. The idea is primarily to safe guard their health. The question will be decided at the next meeting of the Pan-Hellenic. THE SECRET "I don't see how it is." Jonkins be gan, eyeing the tramp and his per forming dog with frank envy. "Here is this mongrel of yours doing all these tricks, and there is my dog, with a pedigree a yard long, that can't be taught a single thing! I've hammered at it till I'm tired, and he can even be trusted on to roll over when he's told to." "Well, sir, 'taint so much the dog," the tramp replied, confidentially. "You have to know more'n he does, or you can't learn him anything." Youth's Companion. OFFSIDE KICKS By the Cheerful Grouch COLLEGE DAILIES College Dailies are what the cub reporters don't get their stories printed in. They are brought around to the subscribers whenever the carrier boy feels so disposed and are shot from the middle of the road to—well to any place between the sky line of the house and the edge of the sidewalk in front. Each issue contains from steen to umpty-ump stories about freshmen that have pulled off boneheads. Said boneheads vary according to the inventiveness of the cub reporter, and in substance vary from paying two bits for the privilege of voting to chasing around over the campus after pie-stretches and left handed monkey-wrenches. Typtus is held on the staff, and consist of being cussed by the managing editor until you can stand up and take said cussing without getting sore. Advertisement sfor cigarettes, and Schiltz and Pabst wet goods are turned by most college papers because they are not needed. College papers can run on moonshine and hot air. Then too such ads as those in mention are considered to cast bad influence. Smart editors out over the country take a special delight in making fun of the college dailies in their nonsense department. College dailies usually contain a High School department. News is sent in by high school students out over the state. All news going in said department goes through the boiler where a cherished report of the high school journalist is boiled down from eight hundred words to a three line local. Originally there was an excuse for a college daily in that some students had to make their own way, but under the hare this year has been entirely eliminated, and now the editors are lucky if they do not have to dig up a few plunks at the end of the year to make up the defeat. The Yale baseball cage was used by the football team the other day. This is the first time the cage was used and the first time in many years that the Yale coaches have paid any attention to the weather and have kept the men off the grid iron.
