MAKING THINGS USEFUL
Taking a language are you? And if so, what are you doing with it? Do you aim merely to drift through the courses, get your credit, and then forget all that you learned as soon as possible?
Don't do it. Make your language worth something to you. No matter what the language is that you are taking, there is an outlet for it in one of the many clubs in the University.
By using these various clubs ancerces and centros and veneurs conscientiously, a great deal of good may be accomplished and a practical use of the language may be acquired. Or if you have taken German or French, make use of what you have learned in your history reading.
Don't take the language merely for a credit. It will take but little more time and work to make it valuable to you. And unless you practice a language, there is much danger that you will soon forget it.
A senior law went to Oklahoma last week to argue a case. According to reports, he will appear before a feminine judge.
ENTRANCE CREDITS
Three reporters are to receive Kansan checks. The Daily Kansan guys checks often, especially from the eligibility committee.
Somewhere in the hidden archives of the University is the record of a freshman engineer who matriculated without having an entrance condition in language. Few will believe this statement but it is nevertheless true. The faculty is now trying to make it possible for it to happen again.
Should the proposed rule to lessen the entrance requirements be passed it will mean the opening of a new era, the dawn of a new epoch. The old order changeth and giveth way to the new. *
The change would be ruinous to future students of the University. What freshman could overcome the handicap of entering the school without having to make up three years of German or without paying five dollars for a credit in free-hand drawing?
The plan will prove revolutionary and fatal. One of the most firmly established customs in the entire list of University traditions will be overthrown.
Think what it will mean to the high school graduate who comes to enroll in the embryonic cap brigade! With no conditions to make up, his life will lose all interest for him.
The absence of the indescribable thrill that comes from that damno-clean "C" can and in one thing, i. e. utter despair. Ennui will fasten her grip upon him and claim him for her victim, despite all his efforts to free himself from her clutches. Should the faculty persist, in their
Should the faculty persist in their
nefarious scheme to lower the amount of credits necessary to matriculate, some prospective students may be forced to go to the advanced standing committee in order to get rid of their surplus hours. If this becomes necessary their ruin is inevitable.
Once in the toils, they are doomed to spend at least three weeks in conferences with that august body. In fact, after a time the conferences become chronic. By the time that they have escaped, the other members of their classes will have made such progress, that they will be left hopelessly behind.
Pity then the conditionless freshman. His pitiful plight is like unto that of the senior who has no flunks against him.
Professor Rice is making further investigations as to the cause of the collapse of the Almeda hotel. Which is a concrete example as to whether or not the University is practical.
The French Cercle has a sergeant-at-arms. Probably to guard the circumference.
Wonder if the political candidates are feeling now any thing like a student when an instructor hands him a note in class.
GOING TO LINCOLN?
A Jayhawker special may be had by the students is as many as three hundred will pledge themselves to go. Three hundred is not a large number to expect considering the number that Nebraska always sends to Lawrence when the game is played here.
Let the Thundering Thousand get busy and make arrangements to go in a body. The more who will go, the lower will be the railroad fare, and the more respect the Cormuskers will have for Kansas.
The Daily Kansan has been asked to receive names of those who will make the trip. Keep us busy counting them.
The K. U. Rife Club is to join the National Association. Some of the students and faculty who couldn't hit a barn door probably think the club is aiming too high.
Wisconsin has a coach named Junean. By Jove, it's no wonder they slaughtered Illinois.
SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM
There is such a school at Columbia; and there are others, we understand, elsewhere. If private munience should seek to plant one here, we would discourage it. A new department would merely increase the size of the University without increasing its strength. When the College has a new recitation building, when the Medical School has an adequate endowment, when Sheff, has dormitories for all its students, we may bow down before the golden calf of things practical—and pray for a school of journalism-Yale News.
SCHOOLS OF JOURNALISM
Of all practical creations in the modern university, the school of journalism, where embryo editors learn to use the blue pencil, where future reporters "cover" sermons and murders, is the newest and certainly the most practical. This kind of school marks the latest and broadest step away from the delightfully "useless" Latin and Greek training of yesterday; small wonder that it shocks the sensibilities of minds who will not bring the goddess of learning down to earth.
It makes the modern university savor of the business college; and though it is useful, though it may even be necessary politically and socially, it is lamentable.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
If a man have not Faith, he has surely Hope; and he is bound to act in the same way. But when Whence does that Hope spring? And he may well embody it in any inimpossible place; but what does not wholly to his mind, is yet a sufficient symbol of what he desires, at times makes him up in whole men—Socrates.

Dear People:
WHAT FRED WROTE
I am very sorry you think I am spending too much money. The eleven dollars and seven cents I had when I reached Toronto did not seem very much, and, as you did not send any money in reply to my last letter my landlady says I must get out. It is a terrible thought to think of being alone and moneyless in a great city. I hope this thought will influence you when you write text.
Mother—Because then men will have more time to give to it—Judge
I hope you will not feel that I have disgraced you when you learn that I spent last night in jail. I had been in a scrap between the first and second years and most of my clothes got lost, and my face got all covered with sheoelacking and green paint. After it was over I was going home when a policeman saw me and took me to the police court as a man detained. The judge just gave me a warning. It was a very unfortunate affair, but my name was in all the afternoon papers.
For Summer has o'er-brimmed thei clammy cells.
With the exception of the above interruption, and the worry caused by not having any money, my studies are progressing well.

A Boston girl who had just returned from her first trip abroad was asked if she had been seasick. "Seasick!" she replied. "Why, I went into the satire and sat down on my best hat—and I didn't care."-Boston Transcript.
Mrs. Yungwif—Yes, I bought it today. I told the agent I was going away for three months and wouldn't get a cooker till I came back, but, when he told me how nice it would be to put some eggs in it just before dinner and feed them the phrase "did, piping-hot roast chickens when I returned, I just couldn't help yielding to the temptation—Kansas Farmer.
