No needle is sharp at both ends-- From the Chinese.
N. B.
Nota Bene would make an excel lent motto for the University to judge from the epidemic of note taking that is now raging in our midst. One course is just as bad in this respect as another, if not more so. The only requirement for pulling down a I is stenographic ability strong phalanges and a durable fountain pen.
There was a time when a student could employ his perception and memory in at least part of his school work, but both of these faculties have long since passed into disuse. Note books are required in every course and the class time is taken up in the faithful transcription of the gems of wisdom that fall from the instructor's lips.
It matters not whether the same thoughts are given in greater detail in the text or whether the facts are perfectly familiar to the students, the notes must be taken. Some students whose chiography is not of the best have a distinct advantage in that the instructor has to assume that the notes are those for his class. In this way one set of notes can be made to do for several different courses. However, some students have retained some legibility in their handwriting, in spite of their voluminous note taking, and these unfortunate must fill their fountain pens every night in preparation for the scribbling Marathon of the morrow.
One student, equipped with plenty of carbon paper, can do the work for an entire class, thus giving the others time to recover from writer's cramp.
Most students have learned to take notes with their subconscious minds. This leaves them free to use their brains, if any remain, on matters that require intelligence.
A news story says that "Allen was acquitted of foul murder." Doubtless the trial was fair.
"Students Don't Buy Solitaires," reads a headline. As has been suggested before, fraternity pins are cheaper.
"K'S" FOR WOMEN
Obviously, the young women of the University who take a prominent part in athletics, desire some token of their work. Certainly they deserve it.
The question is, should the women be given letters patterned after the regular varsity letter. To award such a letter might not detract from the worth of a regular athletic "K"; surely it would not for a year or two, but might not the final result of such a movement harm the real letter?
Some other manner of denoting pre-eminence in the field of women athletics could very well be given without making a plain substitution of the "K." Of course, what is fair for one sex is fair for the other, but if the women do not play with outside teams, and do something for the University in this way, they can hardly ask that they be given something that will draw attention and a small degree of glory to them through reflection.
Two thousand tigers are coming. Various tales will go back to Columbia as to how it all happened.
We are assured that flowers have a language. We wonder does the crocus?
THE HALLOWE'EN BALL
In the masquerade ball tonight, it is likely that a tradition is being born that will live long, and that will be respected as one of the best of the University in years to come.
The entire student body has but few opportunities to be together on common ground. The different classes and the various schools have these opportunities, but the University does not socially meet as a whole at any purely university function.
Everybody should attend the ball tonight, if for nothing else than to give the we nwustom a good send-off. It is generally believed that those who attend tonight will be eager to attend the next one.
Being an entirely informal affair, and dress suits being altogether out of fashion, there will be no chance for any one to feel other than at home. The masks ought to create a lot of fun, but after the second dance they will be removed in order that every one may become acquainted.
There's really no excuse for not going if you have any interest in your fellow students. Of course a grouch probably would not enjoy himself, or herself as the case might be. And if you haven't thought of it before, make arrangements to go at once. Any of your clothes will do, and a mask and seventy-five cents is all else that is required.
A University Professor has advised sleeping with the head toward the north for a nice sound sleep. Will some one tell us now how to keep awake?
Get out to-morrow night and yell.
Kansas must beat Oklahoma.
Students may go home to vote. With some of the professors it may be advisable to conceal your politics before making arrangements for the trip with them.
SUSPENSION OF A SENIOR.
"Suspension for one year" has been the punishment meted out to a senior in the University for cheating in an examination. This is the most serious case that has come before the Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee during the term, and one to command the attention of the whole college public. It is a shocking thing, for a man to be cast out of the University in the last year of his college course—cast out for dishonesty. But the offense, which had it been committed by a freshman might have warranted "another chance," is so serious on the part of an upperclassman as to justify this severity.
It is strange that a man can be here three years and learn so little of real values. That one should care so slightly for his connection with the University as to risk a forced separation! Such a case of senior dishonesty, coming as it does in the midst of a strong tendency toward the right, cannot be condemned too strongly. Let us hope a recurrence will not be soon—Daily Californian
OUT OF THE MOUTHS

I am more afraid of my friend, making themselves uncomfortable who have only imaginary evils to indulge, than I am for the peace of those who are not with real inconvenience and danger, find a remedy in the very force of the exertions to which their lot compels them—Sir Walter Scott.
