THE BIG HUSKY.
Have you, Mr. Loyal Rooter noticed the absence of big huskies on the football squad of the Jayhawkers? It is not that the big men are incompetent, ineligible or any one of a dozen other every good reasons. It is because they are not trying out.
A few started at the beginning of the season but they have been dropping out until but one or two of the "tons of men" remain. This is a condition that is difficult to analyze unless one would jump at the conclusion that the prospect of actual scrimmage with the freshmen proved too terrifying to the giant aspirant. This, however, can hardly be assigned as the cause of the big man's apathy.
Some students believe that the big man is dull and is unable to spare the time that football exacts. But the difficulty here seems to be that actual class room records will prove that the big man is as keen witted as any.
To the majority of persons, the big man seems to be lazy. Not dull, not nimid, but "pepless." Which is the worst of the three when it comes to football playing is hard to determine. Any one is bad enough.
But the fact remains that if the big man's spirit and ambition does not overbalance his natural disposition to take things easy, his friends and associates are partly to blame. They ought to make him get into the game if he will not do so himself.
A man high up in the football world, and a man who is in on intimate terms with the Jayhawker line up, said yesterday that the team was too light. Are the big men going to continue taking their afternoon nap and let it remain so, or are they going out on the field and prove their loyalty?
Dean Templin told of paying ten dollars for the privilege of becoming a prep student in K. U., but he did not mention any sale of chapel tickets.
A news story says that the guests at the faculty ladies' reception October 24 will be limited to the "young men students of the University." Why only the young men?
THE LIBRARY—AGAIN
Just as there are two kinds of locusts, so may the library pest be divided into more than one class. Besides the variety that surrounds its habitat with bulwarks of books, which have been assigned as outside reading for an entire class, there is vet another species.
The second genus seems to be confined almost entirely to the feminine contingent and can be distinguished by the gurglings and snickerings that emanate from it. It is a social insect and is rarely, if ever, found alone. It usually goes in two or threes and the duet or trio, as the
case may be, is practically continuous.
When the pest gathering has established itself around some table and disguised its real purpose by scattering a few books about, the real business of the session begins. All remarks upon the appearance or actions of persons using the library are received by the sister pests with wild gurgles and snortings of amusement, to be followed by a long series of titterings and gigglings that continue intermittently until the next spasm.
All of which is complimentary, perhaps, to the feminine sense of humor, but which is not particularly beneficial to concentration of mind on the part of those fortunate enough to be in the vicinity.
But the pest careth not. She gurgleth unrestrained.
For participation in three sports, women athletes of the University will receive "K's." The men need star in but one.
The new fish hatchery at Pratt is to be opened formally October 29. Incubator fish doubtless will make a good subject for the paragraphers.
The Daily Kansan is in receipt of volume 1, numbers 1 and 2 of the Ques(?)tion Mark, a four column folio weekly published by the students of Cherokee County high school. It is an attractive and interesting paper, full of news and the students of C. C. H. S. should be proud of it.
William Allen White says that the Kansas Bull Moosers is threatened with atrophy of the monetary canal. It may be that the hook worm has gotten hold of the providers of this monetary canal.
Cornell has instituted a kindergarten for football players. It might be well for K. U. to start a class in "What the athletic ticket is, and what the possession or non-possession of one stands for."
Clog dancing is a part of the physical training course for men at the University of Michigan.
NEGLECTED OPPORTUNITIES.
One of the first problems that confronts a new student is the one relative to the part he shall take in college activities and entertainments. Too often in making his choice the new man chooses those things that afford only prominence or amusement for him, slighting those things that really make for a more broadened and cultured manhood. No student ought to lose the opportunity, especially in an engineering school such as Parma, is to become cognant of the cultural influences at work in the university. Failure to do so hurts nobody but himself, and in later life is generally a source of regret.
Every school, whether it be a classical or a strictly technical one, offers opportunity to its students to attain a broadening education outside of the regular curriculum. Purdue is no exception to this statement, and I hold each a lecture course, in which a field each year offering, individually, the student a chance to hear music and lectures or to see various kinds of entertainment whose quality alone is evident of their worth.
It is a sad fact, however, that the majority of the student body is aleep to advantages of the annual "lecture course." As a result the audience is generally more representative of Lafayette than of the university, the students who have failed to attend have lost one step on the ladder of success, and a deserving institution has failed to serve its function—Purdue Exponent.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS
When the sinner shall rise from his grave, there shall meet him an uglier figure than ever he behelded; deformed, hideous, and ill-tempered; and mindless voice; so that he叫 aloud, "God save me! what art thou?" The shape shall answer, "Why wonderest thou at me? I am but Thine Own Worker. We ride upon you in the other world, and upon them the forever here."—Jelladilin.
FOUND OUT BY ONE'S SIN.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Of such is the kingdom of heaven.
No glory that ever was shed
UPON A CHILD.
No word that ever was spoken of human or godlike tongue,
From the crowning star of the seven That crown the north world's head,
quimai
Gave such godlike token
Since human harpes were strung.
No sign that ever
To faithful or faithless eyes
Showed ever beyond clouds riven
So clear a Paradise.
No sign that ever was given
me with life as faithless eyes
And you're feeling sore and weary.
"Flirting is the surest road toward the proper knowledge of social life," says a Professor of Harvard University. We are ashamed of the professor, though we must admit that he should be able to speak on the subject with authority. He has been married twice, and is now rumored that he about to lose his liberty after third time. His renown there have so affected the office poet that he has conceived the following outburst:
Earth's creeds may be seventy times
FLIRTING.
seven
And blood have defiled each creed.
If of such be the kingdom of heaven
It must be heaven indeed.
When the days seem dark and dreary
What's the thing to make you cheery?
There's this cure and this cure only:
lonely And your "best girl's" picture's homely.
When your room looks cold and lonely And your "best girl's" picture's
Flirting!
Though your books and papers bore you
bore you
And your best friends all ignore you.
There's this pleasure still before you:
Flisting!
Classwork is not educating,
Nor are football and debating.
Only this is elevating:
Elevating!
If you want an education
Without your permission Put to test this occupation: Flirting!
Although this rhythm falters at times, we cannot but feel that the office poet has hit the nail on the head. Whether or not he hit the right nail is still an open question.
