By special dispensation of the W. S. G. A. the week night date rule will be suspended Thursday night for the mask ball. The W. S. G. A. is evidently laboring under the hallucination that its ruling on the matter is still taken seriously. Even a superficial inquiry should be sufficient to demonstrate that a suspension of the rule was not necessary. It has been suspended so long and so universally that it has ceased to be of any moment. The Daily Kansan has no desire to There was a time when a week night date was a rara avail but it has graduated into the sine qua non class. Once upon a time the co-ed considered the ruling of the council as something more than an excuse for refusing undesirable daters, but an inspection of the nickles any week night will convince anyone that that The Daily aKnsan has no desire to go into the question of whether week night date rules should or should not be made. That is entirely within the province of the W. S. G. A. But the rule is, theoretically at least, still in effect, and should be either enforced or rescinded. In its present state of coma it is nothing less than an injustice to those girls who live up to it. The Mozart Club wants to hear ragtime when the Marine band plays here Saturday. Probably the Oceana Roll will suit. The week night date rule is to be suspended Thursday night. Violators will be pleased to hear this word suspension. "Iowan Dope Makes Cornhuskers Laugh," says a headline. The Nebraskans probably figure that there is no Missouri Valley team that has the steam to beat them. START NOW. Wouldn't it be a good idea to begin arrangements for Parents' Day at once? Not, of course, the actual details of the entertainments to be given, but a sort of marshaling of forces and a will show our parents what we are looking forward to the day when we doing here and where and how we are doing it. There seems to be a general agreement that the plan is an excellent one. The Chancellor has expressed himself in favor of it. The students would undoubtedly welcome an opportunity to play the part of hosts. Work should be begun now and the arrangements put under the charge of some organization, preferably the student council. Not only will a Parents' Day be an evidence of appreciation of the sacrifices made in order that we may attend the University but it will also make parents and students better acquainted and further cement the bonds of friendship and love between them. If the plan is to be acted upon and made the success that it should be, work will have to begin in the near future. Don't blame the wind. Since a certain little encounter last Saturday we all have something to blow about. OFFSIDE KICKS By the Cheerful Grouch FRATS A frat is an aggravated form of sociality, living under a common roof and a common name and point-of-contact. It is distinguished by unqualified oledges and honored alumni. Frats are divided into fraternities and sororites. In many instances, however, the distinction is indistinct. Many a house with auriforous hens can be classified by an examination of its front porch and parlor. Frat pins, which are cheaper than engagement rings and don't have to be fitted, are worn by frat men over the fourth floating fibar. On frat wore ones, they nothings higher. Instead of pins, pledges wear buttons and pillows. The name of the frat is placed at the head of each chapter house. (Rather a novel idea, that chapter thing.) The hieroglyphics attached to each Hellenic habitat are one of the greatest incentives to the study of the classics. After a student learns to distinguish between one of these places and a shoe-shining stand he becomes fired with an ambition to learn more about the cabalistic symbols. Before the fire goes out he has found out that a streak of lightning, a pitchfork and a hook and eye, minus the hook, denotes the resort of Sigma Psi Omega. Female frats are composed, if you can call them composed, of pulchridutious pippins, productive of prestige, and the other sisters, "who are not exactly beautiful, but have something awfully attractive about them."15 But with Kansas farmers and trust magnates for paternal ancestors. A close approximation of the amount due on the first chapter-house can be made by observing the ratio of offensive to defensive players. (No offense meant.) Prospective pledges have been discovered who qualified for the Hattie Green classes but none has ever survived the rushing season. Frats experience difficulty in obtaining padding material. Five dances, 3,976,341 handshakes, 3,976,-341 shoulder slappings and 6 quarts of gasoline are necessary to ensure a freshman, whose life-long ambition has been to write home for the initiation fee. In a chapter house the freshmen live in the attic. This gives them the true Greekian atmosphere at once. In an editorial of rare fine writing, the University Daily Kansan proves that the students at the state university are conservative—more so than the older generation. This is demonstrated by the fact that the football demonstration of an evening on the street is still a night shirt parade, with only a very semi-occasional pajama or bath-robe. "Gone," says the writer, "are the copper-toed shoes of our ancestors, the chinchilla reefers of our boyhood have passed into oblivion and the old trunk into the atric, but the night shirt flows on forever. Long may it wave and flutter in the breeze."—Minneapolis Messenger. I make no more estimation of repeating a great number of names or words upon one hearing, or the pouring out of rhymes extempel, or the making of a satirical simile of every thing, or the turning of every thing to a jest, or the coming and disappearing of every thing by cavil, or the like, (whereof in the faculties of the mind there is great copia, and as by such as to an extreme degree of wonder), than I do of the tricks of tumblers, funambules, baladines—the one being the same in the body; matters of strangeness without worthiness . . . OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS QUICKNESS OF WIT. Quickness is among the least of the mind's properties, and belongs to her own power. I doth not abandon her when she is driven from her home, when she is taken care of, and tenure it; the liar has it; the cheat has it; we find it on the race-course and at the card-table; education does not reflect a reflection takes away from it—Bacon.

Your waters never drumlite! There simmer first unfold her robes, and there the lancestarry tarsy; For she stands before the swowel 'O my sweet Highland Mary. The castle o' Montgomery, Green be your wood, and fair you How rich the hawthorn's blossom, As underneath their fragrant shade, I clasped her to my bosom! The golden hours on angel wings, of emerald, of rose; For dear to me, as light and life, Was my sweet Highland Mary. How sweetly bloomed the gay green bush. W'i monice a vow, and locked embrace, Our parting was fu 'tender; and, pledging arm to meet again, We endured it. But O, fell death's unimply frost, That nipt my flower see early! Now green's the sod, and cauld's the O pale, pale now, those rosy lips, O pale, pale now, those rosy lips, And close for days the sparkling That dwell on me see kindly! And mould'ring now in silent dust, and still inside my bosom's core. But still within my bosom's core Shall live my Highland Mary. That wraps my Highland Mary! STUDENT OPINION A SUGGESTION. With the Missouri game near, wouldn't it be well to suggest a few decorations for the bleachers at McCook? Flags at the four corners and spaced equally between would brighten up the field and make it really attractive. A. Bum Artist. AN ECHO Editor Daily Kansan: We will root for the team, whether in a seat at the end of the field, or "stood up along the fence," but under the sun, the rowers will surely be divided. The Kansan has altogether misunderstood the point at issue between the management and the holders of student tickets. We are not questioning the statement that the athletic association needs funds; we do not desire to hold back money needed to strengthen the Kansas team; we are not asking for a $3.00 ticket. We do believe, that if the manager knew at the time of the Missouri game last year that student tickets were to be valued at but fifty cents for the Missouri game, student tickets should not have been sold with the idea prevalent that they would be accepted as full payment for the game. And we contend, the tickets having been sold with no statement to the contrary, that the said tickets should carry full value for this game. CALENDAR If Kansas can not conduct the game for the price at which admission tickets were sold, every signer of the various protest petitions will gladly contribute $1.00 to make up the deficit. K. U. Rooter. Briefly, our position in this: "A thousand dollars for the Kansas team, but not a cent for a seat to which we already hold a ticket signed by the president of the student council." R. J. W. C. C. K. R. F. R. O. C. G. Editor Daily Kansan: Where does the Student Council stand in regard to the increased price of admission to the Kansas—Missouri game? Do they all favor that irrational movement? Is the Student Council elected to act in it's own interest, or for the interest of the student body which it is supposed to represent? If the Student Council is a representative organization why is it not required to be no opposed to the whelming sentiment against the extra charges for the BIG game? Is this another eastern notion to have the Student council on its own behalf and not represent the student sentiment? Friday, November 8.
