THE NIGHT-SHIRT PARADE.
Another night-shirt parade has come and gone and we must possess our souls in patience until the Nebraska bonfire.
The parade was a greater success than ever before and the participants as a whole, the best behaved. The feature of the game, as the sport writers say, was the playing of the freshmen. The class of 16 has lost no time in taking its place in the activities of the school and the showing made Saturday night answers well for its future success.
While "pointing with pride" it is also necessary to "view with alarm" and in this connection must be mentioned the fact that the genus "piker" is not extinct. This species is gradually diminishing but there are still those who see no benefit in a night-shirt parade except to the laundry grafter.
It may be less trouble to stand on the sidewalk and smile condescendingly at the "foolish antics" of those in line but it is not the spirit that wins football games.
The sidewalk devotee falls into two classes, the chronic dater and the superior being, afflicted with an aggrigated form of dignity. The first class, of course, have long since ceased to be responsible for their actions, but there is hope of recovery. No cure has yet been discovered for the other malady.
Not every game can be won by a score of 62 to 0 and it is to be hoped that the splendid spirit now manifest will not suffer should the team meet reverses. Our gridiron warriors need more encouragement after a defeat than after a victory but they ought to get it in either event.
Any individual with lungs can yel for a winning team but other parts of the anatomy are necessary to the real rooter.
The famous United States marine band which comes next month has but one stop in Kansas. Why, even the chapel organ has more stops than that.
The exhibition Saturday night must have been a discouraging one to the pajama manufacturers.
IVY.
Among the traditions of one Kansas college is the ivy planting, an event celebrated on class day each year by the graduating class. The ivy planting is an important event of commencement week and is always witnessed by a large number of interested spectators. The main building of this university, although built but a few years ago, is already partially covered with a beautiful growth of the vine. Graduates returning to the college after a long absence look with pleasure on the progress made by their own class vine.
The season when ivy leaves are tinted with the most beautiful shades
of red and yellow is at hand, and the buildings of Kansas University are noticeably deficient in screens of ivy vines.
Faculty members who were graduated from eastern universities are quick to notice the absence of ivy on our walls. In the cast ivy is as necessary to a university building as ham in a ham sandwich.
Old students noticed on returning this fall that the ivy vines had been completely cleaned off the north wall of Spooner library. The reason given by the University employees who decreed that the ivy must go was that the growth had become so heavy that the reading rooms were darkened. A little trimming would have removed this difficulty, however.
While we need not imitate the other Kansas schools and have an elaborate ivy planting ceremony each year, would not a few vines make some of our buildings more beautiful?
David Starr Jordan should deliver that "Pace" lecture this week for the benefit of the 732 class candidates.
The Kansas retail butcher's association want more butchers and fewer doctors on the state board of health. Which is a high tribute to those physicians on the present board.
THE FOOTBALL TEAM
Little can be said concerning the football team which represented the University of Kansas against St. Marys Saturday afternoon except that the institution, students, faculty and all, are proud of it, and deservedly they are.
From all appearances, it is the best team that has represented Kansas in the first game of the season for many years. Of course we shall meet teams much stronger than St. Marys. But it was demonstrated Saturday that the red and blue team has the real fighting spirit. St. Marys fought gamely and stubbornly, but Kansas had real sap and ginger, and considerably more fight.
The rooters are pulling for another Missouri Valley championship. Here's hoping we can take it.

PEGASUS IN HARNESS.
Men of great parts are often out of public business, because they are apt to go out of the common road by the quickness of their imagination. This once said to my Lord, Bismuth and desired he that office used a sort of ivory knife with a blunt edge to divide a sheet of paper, which never failed to cut it even, only requiring a strong hand, where he made make knife, where he sharpened would make it go often out of the crease, and disfigure the paper—Swift.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
FROM TWELFTH NIGHT
I am slain by a fair trick clock.
My shadow of white, stock all with
wish.
Come away,
express let me be hid;
Fly away, fly away, breath;
prepare it.
My part of death, no one so true Did share it.
Not a flower, not a flower sweet
On my black coffin let there be
Not a friend, not a friend greet
My poor corpse, where my bones
A thousand, thousand sighs to save,
Lay me, O where
Lay me, O where
Sad true lover never find my grave
To weep there. ___ Shakespeare.

An instructor and a student actually waster five minutes of valuable class time Monday arguing whether the diameter of the earth would be one-fourth or one-half of an inch provided the distance to the nearest fixed star be taken as forty miles. The disagreement is yet unsettled.
IT HAPPENED IN CLASS
Nearly twenty juniors and seniors were able to fully discuss and assigned subject, "What I Know of The World," in less than five hundred words last week. The task was given to the astonished students in an advanced English composition course.
"I liked the music in church very much today," the freshman wrote home to his mother last Friday, "but I think it will be much better when they really get started. You see it was the first chapel of the year and the bald-headed man played on a little organ down in front because they did not have the big one fixed up yet."
It Was in German I Class. Each pupil struggles in turn with the pronunciation of sounds found in that language alone. Finally it came the turn of an angular, six-foot freshman in the back row.
It Was in German I Class.
"Take the next," said the instructor.
"Ick-Ish—Iich-Esh,' he began painstakingly.
"Why don't you keep to one pronunciation? Don't you know when you are right?"
THE PHILOSOPHER
it is the weak only who, at each epoch, believe mankind arrive at the culminative point of their progressive march. They forget that by an intimate concatenation of all truths, knowledge, the field to be run over, becomes more vast the more we advance, bordered as it is by an horizon that continually recedes before us.-Humbodit.
"No, but I can tell when I am wrong," was the ingenious reply.
A professor in class the other morning after carefully looking over his students and silently comparing them with his enrollment cards, finally looked up and asked rather anxiously, "Is there anyone here whose name I have not called?"
"Football is an abused sport according to a head line. The "old boys" who knocked on it evidently thought it was abusive.
Professor—(Struggling desperately to recall a good example of perfectly metrical verse)“I'm not given to quoting poetry,I've been married ten years”(Later in the same lecture)“Well,a girl says she is two summers old. Old knows how many winters! It doesn't mean anything at all.”
Lecturer—"The Anglo-Saxon poem, 'The Wanderer' is full of paetic feeling. This man has wandered all around, his king is dead, his friends are all gone, the times are not like the good old times, everything is going to the eternal bow-wows. Of course he did not use these words, but that was the thought."
