RETROSPECTION.
Now that the election is over, no excuse remains for unprepared lessons except the low gas pressure. The selection of another chief executive has had little direct effect upon the students except those who were confident of the result before the returns were in.
Another effect noticeable was the cheerful countenances and, in some instances, resplendent apparel worn by the newly enfranchised professoettes. The innovation was greatly appreciated by the student body, especially the countenances.
While few of the feminine contingent will admit that they are eligible to go to the polls, it is to be hoped that this attempt at deception will have given way to straight-forwardness before the next election. The change, if it occur, will be one of the most revolutionary caused by the adoption of the amendment.
There is one thing to be thankfu for, anyhow. It won't happen again for four, long years.
The girls, who have just been included in the fifteenth amendment, will probably be disappointed in their first election. It is neither as much fun as the balloting seances held every fall here on the campus nor as exciting as a real nice bargain sale.
To the student who went to the polls for the first time we can only offer the advice that he try to refrain from growing a mustache on the strength of that important feeling. Both it and the mustache mania will pass in time. Patience and self-control are the only efficient remedies.
We are willing to wager that the faculty jokes will be read by every faculty member. Think of the humiliation if they should double up.
It's a pretty safe bet that about half of the customers of the new mending bureau will have socks, and the other half, hose.
VESPER SERVICE
The first vesper service of the University will be held in Fraser hall Sunday afternoon at 4:30. The first rehearsal will be held in Fraser tonight at 7:00.
As a large chorus is necessary and Professor Hubach expects this year, to eclipse all former services, it is to be hoped that every student who can sing will try out for a place.
Excellent training and instruction in vocal music is given and an opportunity for genuine development. There is room for seventy-five in the open chorus, and at least twice that number ought to appear tonight for a trial.
Every student ought to be allied with some University activity. It fosters a better spirit and instills into one a better understanding of these about him—an understanding that cannot be reached through class room association alone.
This phase of the Vesper services
alone makes a place in the chorus well worth the effort, and as many students have a narrow acquaintance, these Sunday afternoon services should be looked on as a good field for the cultivation of more friends.
Consequently, singer or not, the Vespers will do more for you than merely satisfy your ear, or ease your conscience concerning your attendance at a religious meeting. If you have not done so, attend one of these services Sunday. You will not be disappointed.
The greatest fault that hunters find with the Jayhawk is that he has never been known to bear a white feather.
What ever else may be claimed for it, the short ballot has undoubtedly been the cause of many long discussions.
An overwhelming political victory is referred to as a landslide. Since the losing candidate is snowed under, why not avalanche?
THE FOOTBALL SMOKER
THE FOOTBALL BOATMAN
The football smoker was instituted in the University last year to take the place of the former football banquet, which was a rather stiff and formal affair. The first smoker was a great success, and this year, plans are being formulated to make it even more enjoyable.
It is still some weeks off, but it is not too early to urge that every student get behind the event and help push it to a successful conclusion. Begin to talk about it, and if you think of a good stunt mention it to those in charge of the evening's entertainment. And when the tags go on sale, try to be the first to buy one.
Will the young man who wrote to the editor asking his opinion as to whether cigars or cigarettes are more dignified for students please call at the office in person?
We thought of that word "troubador," in reference to glee club members before the news department, but we didn't know how to spell it.
Still is the faculty undecided about entrance requirements in language. The matter has not been talked over enough yet.
THE COLLEGE PAPER.
When the "funny man" on a large metropolitan paper runs short of unusual topics, he always turns to two old and steadfast friends of his wit, who have never failed him in any crisis, and upon whom he can heap his ridicule unmoleted and unafraid—the college and the small town newspaper. It is a constant source of amusement to use to read some caustic and critical comment on a school's paper in a large daily, and then find in the same sheet the very things that are being decried in another part of it. The humorist points to some inaccurate account of university statementism in a university publication with hilarious criticism especially when the article in question bears on some action not within the bounds of the campus; neglecting the fact that the front page of his own paper contains a garbled account o f some university affair, that is as inaccurate as it is amusing.
Most of the criticisms, however,
that we have ever seen were directed
toward some mechanical or typographical error in the make-up of
the paper, rather than at the news
column. A college newspaper has
not the mechanical efficiency of
a rule for as a rule it has
 not the press room facilities required
of a large newspaper, and so the
makeup of it can hardly be compared
with that of its larger brother.—Purdue Exponent.

CHOICE OF A CALLING
In all things, to serve from the lowest station upwards is necessary; you would like to trade is best. For the narrow mind, whatever he attempts is still a trade; for the higher, an art; and the highest, in doing one thing does all; or to speak less paradoxical, he sees rightly, he sees the likeness of all that is done rightly—Goethe.

Smith is a young New York lawyer, clever in many ways, but very forgetful. He was recently sent to St. Louis to interview an important client in regard to a case then pending in the Missouri courts. Later the head of his firm received this telegram from St. Louis:
speed,
And post o'er land and ocean without
rest;
A GENTLE REMINDER
John Milton.
Wife—Our new maid has sharp ears.
They also serve who only stand and wait.
"Have forgotten name of client.
Please wire at once."
This was the reply sent from New York:
"Client's name Jenkins. Your name Smith." "Everybody's."

"KANSAS SPIRIT"
GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS
Editor Daily Kansan:
One risk about a girl learning how to make her living is later she may have to make her husband's.—New fork Press.
"Kansas Spirit" was written in 1909 by George L. Wright, who at that time was leader of the K. U. Band. Mr. Wright composed the words and music of his song in order to pay the expenses of the K. U. Band to Lincoln, Nebraska. The pieces were a year, and has not been used since.
I suggest since K. U. needs a spirited song to instill enthusiasm and life into its football men, why not use this till a better one is found to take its place? The words convey the meaning of the title. The music would set the feet of any football enthusiast a jigging, and keeping time; his whole body vibrating to its rythmic tone. Why not give this song a try out at chapel, or at a football rally? If this piece was used at the M. U.—K. U. game the Missourians would surely remark that the K. U. students were characteristic of this name, "Kansas Spirit."
Hub-I notice that the doors are all scratched up around the keyholes —Chicago Examiner.
As a general thing the more economical a man's wife is, the more money he has to make himself solid with the boys.—Dallas News.
"Why did she divorce her first husband?"
"He couldn't keep his money."
"And why is she saying her press is bad?"
"She's right."
"He's such a tightwad."—Houston Post.
L. A.
"He couldn't keep his money."
The University Health committee working in conjunction with the State Board of Health offers the students and faculty of the University the opportunity to receive free of charges the preventive treatment of typhoid fever. 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.
