WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, SEP Know prudent, cautious, self-control is wisdom's rest.-Burns. "GIVE A DOG A BAD NAME" The Men's Student Council is to be commanded for its stand for a clean election this fall. The fraudulent balloting of the election a year ago was one of the most shameful things that has ever occurred on Mt. Oread. Students voted in classes other than their own and graduate students cast their ballots at will at the polling places. As a result several students lost their "student citizenship." But worse than that was the fact that the word spread, appeared in the city dailies, and was reprinted by the papers of Kansas. With the announcement of dirty student politics at K. U. many enemies of the University, chalked up another reason why they should not vote bigger appropriations to instruct their sons and daughters in "The Art of Fraudulent Voting." It is to be hoped that the announced plans of the council for a clean election, with more care about identification and the voting lists, will be put into effect and K. U. spared further unsavvy publicity. "You cannot be one thing in college and something else when you get out," the chancellor said recently, so if one plays in crooked politics in college he is more than likely to play other crooked things in after life. WORTHY OR NOT? Mr. Merebank suggests, as a new irrigating scheme, that onions be planted near the potato plants, so that they will make the eyes of the potatoes water. This will eliminate the need of ditches. More than 1,000 men were entertained at their mixers. Last week the men connected with the University Y. M. C. A. devoted practically all of their time to making Mt. Oread pleasant for the freshmen. Here the first school patriotism was instilled into them and friendships were formed that will last through life. Emulency and rooms were found for over two-hundred first year men and help in a hundred little ways was given by the Y. M. C. A. men. Isn't the Y. M. worth your attention and support? "Work commences at K. U." stated the Topeka Capital in a recent issue and then gave a list of social activities which in the opinion of the Capital, constituted the nature of the work.

Honors for being the most deserving student in the University, have been conferred, by the Push and Prod Club, upon the man who is making his way sharpening safety razor blades. GET THOSE LETTERS! Have you been waiting for a letter from home? You will find it at the post-office waiting for you! Hundreds of unclaimed letters addressed to students in the University are being held for the owners. And it's not the fault of methodical Uncle Sam! It is the fault of a good many busy students who have failed to leave a pink card showing a change of address or their new address at the post-office. Another reason for the non-delivery of certain letters is because the writers attempt to address their letters by drawing the emblem of a Greek fraternity on the envelope. While the postal clerks do not profess to be Greek they are experienced enough to know that some of the would-be "Greekers" are frequently faulty in making the "marks." The old-fashioned street number is good enough for Uncle Sam. JOURNALISM IN KANSAS This newspaper business is a great game. Just in the midst of an obituary of a dear friend and when hot out the words you write, there breaks through the office door the radiant face of the daddy of a new boy! Tears and joy mingle in the same breath, and the life are recorded on the same page. Before you have finished the obituary the breezy advance man for a comedy show pops in and asks you to write a scream for his forty fat, frolicious fairies and how joyous they are. Before you have done with the kind words about your departed friend, you need to finish the finished the showman's ad a follow snacks in to ask you to suppress the story of the fight that he was mixed up in. Then, after putting all the lace and trimmings on the bride's wedding gown, dressing the groom in the conventional black and starting them off with congratulations and best wishes, you turn again to the tear side of life and write: "But the face of the haven the haven under the hill, and oh! for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." Then comes a lull and the old typewriter is content to record the commonplace facts, knowing that just around the corner and each awaiting day, Gried, Sorrow, Mirth, Sarcasm, and Laughter—Oakley Graphic. TWICE TOLD—BUT WORTH IT "These shoes are too narrow and too pointed," complained the stout man who was having trouble with his feet. "But," explained the salesman blanly, "you know they are wearing jeans." "That may be," said the stout one with dangerous calm; "but I am wearing my last season's feet."—Ladies' Iome Journal. "The old Physic Clock isn't run by he unions." "Well you know," returned the milkman, clearly embarrassed but glib nevertheless, "winter is coming on— "Why are you raising the price of two cents?" asked the housewife grimly. "Oh, I see," interrupted the woman, "the water will be needed for making a drink." "How do you know?" "It hasn't struck yet." Oswald—Chauney, you are a perfect jackass. Chauney- *n*, no, my deah boy, none of us are perfect you know. "Sorry, but I haven't," said the girl and they lost it trot. -Gargoyle "Have a heart, will you?" whined the fellow.

UNLUCKY JONES By John B. Vaughan a servant of the Lord, I wait, Attentive of his will, the plain, the plain, the valley, and the hill. THE WIND I sit the ovcan, in its sleep, I churn the curled foam. And lift the billows from the deep. And bear the wild bird home. I pluck the old man by the beard, I toy with madden's hair, I rock the young birds in their nests I drive away dull care. I alight through forests old and dank I alight through forests old and dank Gnawing mammals in their sleep Gnawing mammals in their sleep I make a music midi that leaves. A music soft and low. And fill the keyboardist, An when the Pipers blow. -London Saturday Review. THE DIM BEGINNINGS Synopsis of Chapter I The University of Kansas had its beginning in 1856, when work was started on the foundation of North College, which is shown in the accompanying illustration. The building was later abandoned. It was rebuilt and funds were secured for its establishment. Obligations could not be met and the building was about to be turned over to the city. Later the city of Lawrence offered an endowment of $15,000, forty acres of ground adjoining the city, for a campus to secure the University. However, the building did not completed until 1868. Manhattan Law School also wanted the state school. The Law School 1864 passed a law to organize the University. A charter of the University was drawn up, and the institution was founded on Mt. Oread in what is now called North College. The faculty was elected and the first session opened at North College, which was founded on completion, on September 12, 1866. The enrollment of the first term was 26 women and 20 men. QUANTITY; NOT QUALITY THAT "FIRST AID" BOOK. It is a safe bet that if you open up a conversation with him who sits next, you will be glad of it; you will learn something; you may make a lifelong friend. You will be happier for it; so will he. Be a good neighbor. Note books are most handy adjuncts in this gay, mad college strife; day by day they hold your hairpins and at ex times save your life. When you can book leaf note-book of the soft butuch bible and comfort you will never cause to find. You can copy in it daily the professor's latest slang, not to mention the grand verse which of old the muses sung. Then the pocket in the boa is a boom you'll not forget; it will hold vast learning words; der puff or cigarette. Day by day you'll come to classes with your note book neath your arm and you'll copy words of wisdom nor at ex time take alarm. When the College year is over you see these scenes no more in your life; you will hold vast learning's store. When the baby has the measles, when the chimney will not draw, when you want to write some verses, or peruse the Sherman law, when you want to bake hot biscuits or to train a pointer for a horse, when you will sit down and look it up. You will gain in health and beauty, or peruse foresight, hindsight, too, if you make your note-book serve you as it really ought to do. When you have grown old and feeble and you take a loan for wealth and wisdom that old worn, loose-leaf book—A. L. Silverson. First Simp—I'm going to a wedding.
