IN THE LIBRARY In the larger cities there is the street car pest to meet and suffer. In many ways is this pest obnoxious. He stands in the end of the car and blocks the entrance or exit, he persists in reading his paper while standing up or bending over you, or he may be of the loud talking species. Likewise there are pests in every town in the world. They take various forms and often find their way into the colleges and universities. One favorite habitat of the university pest is the library. Here the pest goes to browse through dozens of books and to doze an afternoon or evening away. The best lighted and most comfortable corner is his and he guards the books that he has in his clutches carefully. There is no pest as through in his meanness as the library pest. It seems that he has a sort of second sight or some mysterious clairvoyant power when he goes to lay in a supply of books. Never does a student want a book urgently but he must trace it carefully from the desk or the reserve shelves down to the corner of the pest. It is a sight worth seeing these evenings, is that of the pest at his ease among myriads of books that flank him on all sides and that of the ordinary stude standing about waiting the time when the pest will doze in order that he may capture a book and bear it away to peruse it hurriedly and fearfully. It makes no difference to the pest that the books are large. He gathers them to his own use, or rather misuse, and the more he can gather the greater is his satisfaction. Finally the pew yawns, rises and saunters out of the building. Then the timid ones seize upon what has been so graciously left to them and for the remaining five minutes of light, the library sees such use as was actually intended for it. One sure way to tell a freshman: he will talk to you about the first "test." OPEN PRACTICE Wednesday afternoons of each week are open practices for the football team and it is the duty of every student of the University to attend them. Support of the team in the regular games is essential, of course, but the men need more than that. The games constitute a very small proportion of the work done during the season. The team needs you at the practices also. Let the men who usually go through the hard work-outs with practically no encouragement from the side-lines feel that the student body is interested in them all the time, instead of once a week. The plan by which the freshmen take one side of the bleachers and cheer their team while the upper-classmen support the varsity is a good one. The good-natured rivalry can lead to no hard feelings and the men on both squads will be stimulated to better efforts by it. Go down to McCook at every open practice. When you see a good play let the man that made it know about it. The applause will not hurt you and it will make him understand that his efforts are appreciated. All of the squad will not be rewarded with a "K" this year but those who are unsuccessful are working as hard and giving as much time as the others. They deserve commendation for it. See to it that they get it. In the olden days freshmen used to give declamations in chapel. It might help the attendance to renew the custom. The freshman who paid two-bits to vote probably will not ask that his money be returned to him. IVY The Daily Kansan is in receipt of several kicks, both verbal and written, concerning the question of ivy. The main question asked is in regard to who had the ivy torn down from the north of the library, and what the reason for the action was. It does seem a pity that such decoration should be lost and the Daily Kansan is in favor of a movement to replant the vine next spring. Anyone who is familiar with the appearance of the vine in the fall of the year will bear witness that its effect on a dingy old building is magical. A college of lovemaking is to be opened in Germany. Which will be taken by some to be a vindication of co-education. The junior laws want another election. They'll get one if they hold their breath till November 5. The red lemonade served by the W. S. G. A. at their circus was guaranteed. Nothing was said about the perfectos, however. COLLEGE HONESTY. Besides having as one of its illustrations an excellent drawing of Mitchell tower and Hutchinson Commons, Arnold Bennett's current article on "You United States," in the October Harper's Magazine has much of interest to the American college student. He says nothing of the University of Chicago, but he harps on one chord that should be of interest to students here, a propos of the growing honor sentiment. He hints rather plainly that full praise of America's educational system must be withheld until the classroom honesty of our universities be above suspicion. Surely, here is a situation that should arrest attention, just as it calls for action—beautiful universities physically, wonderfully equipment, match instruction, billions of dollars invested, and examinations policed. music practice. Of course, what Arnold Bennett or anyone else says is not of vital importance to the student. But the situation to which he draws attention is. Every student at Chicago has it in his power to hasten the day when the honesty of college men will be recognized and traditional.—Chicago Daily Maroon. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF WISE OLD BOYS Poverty, we may say, surrounds a man with ready-made barriers, which, if they do wournfully gullow, and hamper, at least press the bear for him, and hold it back in the goal; a safe and beaten though a circuitous course. A great part of his guidance is secure against fatal error, and he can trust the rich again, has his whole life to guide, without goal or barrier, save of his own choosing; and tempted, as we have seen, is too likely to guide Carlyle.

FROM LOCKSLEY HALL "Cursed be the social wants that sin against the strength of women." cursed be the social lies that warp us from the living truth! Cursed be the from honest. Nature's rule!

Editor Daily Kansan: The editor is not responsible for errors expressed here. Communications must be signed as an evidence of good faith. the country I blanket! One, two three, four! and catch him easy as he comes down. Wherefore the freshman paddles? The true object, I take it, is not to injure the freshie who thinktok to hold his head high and wear no cap thereon, until the common fate o'rtaketh him before the chapel steps, but merely to impress upon his mind the fact that he cannot with impunity violate the rulings of the Student Council, by which his classmates order their headpieces. And yet, he is not padded in the region of his mind. The same good purpose could be served quite as well, much more spectacularly, and without depriving the fresh one of the use of chairs, by sending him up from a strong blanket. Besides, while ten yards or so in the air, he would not have any time to nurse resentment within his mind, and might get to see some of the country roundabout. Jason Jay. HE'S THIRSTY. Why should the student body from the third floor of the library be compelled to go to the basement for a drink? I do not object to this because the subjects are so dry but because it takes so much time. When a student is compelled to find a dozen different books and do four hours reading in two he doesn't have time to go so far after a drink. Let's have a fountain upstairs. I. M. Thirsty. Signed—C. E. F. Does it seem right and just the some of those most vitally interested in the Athletic election should have had no opportunity to participate in the same? Yet that is exactly what happened at the last election. No one can vote at an athletic election who is not the owner of an Athletic ticket and as a result all men who are at present participating in football with the exception of "K" men were barred from this election. No reasonable man will urge that these athletes should be forced to buy athletic tickets to participate in an athletic election when they cannot get value received out of their tickets. What applies to men trying out for the Varsity applies as well to the Freshmen football men, to employees of Manager Hamilton, and to the holders of free passes. As a rule this class of students are more vitally interested in the athletic situation than the average household of tickets and therefore is entirely unreasonable that they should be debarred from choosing those who shall manage Athletic affairs. Sirmed C E F ATHLETIC ELECTION Editor Daily Kansan: AND AT K. U. ? Somewhere in the recesses of our memory is lurking the idea that once we agreed that all freshmen should eschew the wearing of high school pins, monograms, sweaters and all that paraphyalaism which looked so big back home. It isn't much up here, and besides it looks awfully out of place. Maybe we are mistaken as to its being a tradition, but forget it anyway.-Wisconsin Daily News.
