UNDERGRADUATE MYOPIA A standing joke among business men is the ignorance of the average student on practical matters. Ask any undergraduate just what he thinks about Aldrich's central banking plan, the coalition of the French and Russian navies, or the history of the Cunningham claims. The collegian's answer will stumble out if it ventures forth at all. In commercial spheres, the student makes but little better showing. True, there will be those who will point out the large percentage of self-supporting men and women who are attending the University of Kansas at the present time. That these surely understand the value of money and the common practises of the business world, will flash back the contention of the doubters. No better instance of undergraduate short-sightedness and inability to grasp a worthy proposition can be produced than the way the students received the offer of the athletic association to sell five dollar tickets admitting to forty student activities including the big Kansas-Missouri game. Although the value of the separate tickets totaled seventeen dollars, not one out of twenty students took advantage of the offer. "We will make more money if the students do not buy this ticket," declares Manager Hamilton. "The admission to the Missouri game will mean two dollars to us, and I believe we would average more per student if we did not make this special offer." The new football rules threatens to end tie games. The referees whistle used to do that. A student 74 years old has registered. Of course he'll address the professors as "Son." Kansas professors have discovered that bacteria can live in pop. Eighty-seven per cent of America's undergraduates live on "pop." SHOWING US. Some great educator declared recently that the slogan of the college student should be "Show Me." By this he meant that no student should take anything for granted; that he should peer about into all the far corners of a doctrine and only after this thorough examination should be brand it as "good" or "bad." With the visit of Colonel Roosevelt to Lawrence Saturday, the undergraduates will have had an opportunity within one year to see and hear personally three of the leading candidates for the presidency. Students of the University of Kansas should stand in a peculiarly fortunate position in relation to the national election. When the train that bears the progressive standard-bearer has bumped away across the horizon, the student who deserves the name of student will sit down and after an analysis of the economic benefits set forth in the platforms of the parties, decide where he will place his vote. For he has been "shown." MR. HEARST'S JAB AT COLLEGE MN MEN. W. R. Heearst's remarkable inter view disparaging the practical equipment of college men for governmental affairs, was given in England, where he recognized place among the most influential leaders of public life. The ironical statement about "a college professor lecturing practical business men on practical problems from a musky room of one of the colleges," might have had pertinency at one time, as applied to some colleges and some college men. It has no pertinency now, as applied to the specific man at whom it was aimed or in a general sense. The representative American college is no longer a thing apart from the practical life of the people. Mr. Hearn assures assistance rendered at times easily within his recollection by college specialists on important social and governmental problems. More and more the people are turning to such disinterested specialists of high competency for light on the questions of the day. A long list of college men headed by Thomas Jefferson, have lectured "practical business men" on "practical problems," to the great benefit of business men and the public, and notable additions have been made to it in recent years; in fact, in recent months.—St. Louis Post Dispatch. SURE HE KNEW YALE SUEE HE KNEW TALE It was in a Kansas City club that this happened and they were all young men. Three or four of them were home from Yale for the summer vacation and the collegians had just been introduced to a quiet young man of 25. The quiet young man dropped a remark showing familiarity with campuses. "Oh," said the leader of the Yale crowd "with a touch of surprise in his eyes." "Yes," said the quiet young man, "I was graduated from K. U. three years ago." "Oh, yes," said the Yale man, with cheeky condemnation, "to be sure. Nice little school that we have in Iowa. We're from Yale ourselves, you know." “Yes,” the K. U. man told them quietly; I’ve heard quite a bit about New Haven. I have fourteen Yale students working for me:** Kansas City Star. THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE "Papa, what is a barette?" "A barete, my son, is a place where they dispense soft drinks." Blind. Edith—"Pa is immensely pleased to hear that you are a poet." Freshie—"Is he?" Eidh" "Oh, very. The last of my lovers he tried to kick was a football player." Denver News. “Wasn't the fellow who jumped out the window hurt?” "I have just the job for that old rheumatic woman, she won't have anything to do." "Oh no, he struck on his head." "On his head. But—" "Well, he had on a soft hat." Weil, he had on a soft hat." Dartmouth Jack-o-'Lantern. "Wardrobe mistress with a burlesque company." Cornell Widow. Husband—"I know a man who has been married a good many years and he spends every evening at home." You should suppose you will admit 'ts love.' She—This light dress spots easily. He—Yes, I spotted it two blocks away. "Do men believe in dreams?" "Not after they marry them." —Williams Purple Cow. Husband—"Can't; it's paralysis." —Judge. Yale Record. there's money in it —Cornell Widow. Agent—Here, you've had that typewriter for six months and you haven't paid me a cent for it. ^2 -Wisconsin Sphinx.

Moving Picture No.2 Abijah Boggs, a poor lad of Bingville, Kansas, soon to become an orphan, stands shivering by the bed SAVED BY A WRIST WATCH. Scene L. side of his dying parent, who gives him, Abijah, his, the parent's blessing and his last possession, a wristwatch which he, the parent, bids him, Abijah, to ever wear. Then Abijah sniffs out into the very cold world. and endeavors to pass. The bully raises his fist to strike Abijah a powerful blow upon the wrist. Thud! his, the bully's, fist strikes Abijah. But he, Abijah, feels no pain for the little wrist-watch has warded off the blow. The bully siezes his own hand in agony for his knuckles are broken and Abijah counters with a blow that floors the ruffian. Thus is Abijah saved by his parent's dying gift, the little wrist watch. Scene 12. Abijah has prospered in spite of his wrist-watch. Observe his fine clothes, as he steps out of the forest to the Lawrence depot on his way to K. U. He is a lad sad loot, for see! he has just relieved that poor newsboy of one paper in exchange for a penny. SERIOUS ANSWERS TO FOOLISH QUESTIONS Scene III. Abijah arrives on the campus. Up swaggers the cow. He is very tough. He sneers at Abijah. Abijah keeps his temper To the Editor: Can you tell me the proper place to wear my high school pin? I am very much puzzled as I see that some of the other freshmen are wearing them upon the lapel of the coat, on the top outside pocket, on the shirt and on the vest. I also see that the fraternity boys either display their conspicuously on the front of their shirt or tuck them away under their armpit. It is of course very embarrassing for me to be in this dilemma and I would appreciate an immediate answer. Editor—Does the $5 ticket that some students tried to sell me today include admission to the chapel exercises? They spoke about it admitting one to football games but nothing was said about the other. Why didn't they admit it? It doesn't include chapel why don't they come right out and say so? Walter Major. '16. A. —(1) We have looked over our files in regard to these student tickets, but so far have been unable to find any mention of chapel in connection with them. This is clearly a very important question that you have raised. We should like to see you thresh it out more fully with Mr. Hamilton, the manager of the association. Walter Major, 1b. A. Although we can find absolutely no reference to the point you raise in either the catalogue of the University or the Encyclopedia Britannica, nevertheless after taking a vote of the office authorities we have come to the conclusion that you should wear your high school pin on every other third Monday. Scene III. (2) We think it would be possible, but not probable. Can you cite a case where it was ever done? C. A. Plimpton. Also, would it be possible for one man to attend two lectures at the same time? This has always puzzled me. Editor Daily Kansan—I notice that, according to the Y. M. C. A. handbook, the game with Baker is scheduled on Sunday, Oct. 13. Don't you think this is wrong? I certainly do not think that the faculty should permit football games to be played on Sunday, even though it is in the afternoon. Can't something be done? Don't you think it is wrong? GUARANTEED Kirschbaum Clothes. ALL WOOL HAND TAILLED Answer--Yes, we thing it is wrong. By referring to another answer, the mistake was made the mistake. The game is scheduled for the Saturday previous. Copyright, 1910. A. B. Kirschbaum Co. WE'VE THE STYLE FOR YOU SIR!
