Men willingly believe what 'they wish.-Caesar.
A CHANCE NOW
College dramatics have always been and will always be a source of great student interest. Professor MacMurray of the public speaking and dramatic art department has announced that the final tryouts for "The Witching Hour" will soon be held. In the present situation there is a great deal more promise for the ambitious student than there has been in years past. Formerly, it took "pull" and membership in a favored group, to give you even a fighting chance at the college play. One or two men controlled the play, took the leading parts, managed the affair—and took the rake-offs. When the leading dramatic light passed on, the chances were that the dramatic mantle fell from his shoulders to those of a lower classman brother. So, for years, the dramatic control was kept within a small class of men and women.
The action of the faculty last year in putting the University plays in the hands of the public speaking department, has stopped the glorious old customs. The "ordinary" student who has no particular qualifications aside from talent, it is hoped, will have a fighting chance to act in University plays.
STICK!
Quitter? Perhaps not.
To charge anyone with being a quitter is likely to be unfair. All of the circumstances which lead up to known, and without a knowledge of circumstances, it is more or less risky broadly to assert that anyone is a quitter.
Several freshmen withdrew from their school work this week. On first thought they appear to be quitters. But on second thought it must be granted that circumstances may have rendered their action nbt only pardonable but commendable.
But the incident does serve to illustrate the tendency for a freshman, surrounded by the many difficulties which are bound to confront him in all his newness, to lose heart and give up before the fight has really begun. Homesickness, lonesomeness, newness—all are likely to make a newcomer feel more or less blue at the end of his first month of school. He has found methods of study entirely different from those to which he has been accustomed. He is a stranger in a strange land. Small wonder that the feeling of discouragement comes stealing over him.
But this feeling is short-lived. None but a confirmed pessimist could remain very long on Mount Oread and not catch something of the "at-home" spirit. Melancholia never flourishes here.
So brace up, freshman. Everything may be new to you, but what of it? Pitch in, get acquainted, become interested in a student activity.
Get into one of these raille!
NOT IN THE SCHEDULE, BUT
Should a student leave the University having a knowledge of only those things that are forced upon him or should he improve all the outside advantages offered?
The University is rich in opportunities. Why should a student leave the school with no appreciation of music, for instance? No one will say that ability to enjoy the compositions of Beethoven and Bach is a useless accomplishment. The person who recognizes a "Hungarian Rhapsody" and can name the composer will enjoy the music.
The concert course given at the University is intended to give a general appreciation of music to the student. Wise students take advantage of such opportunities.
Flotsam and Jetsam
The Drake Delphic carries an advertisement of a laundry company which agrees to conserve the buttons of all work submitted to them. And yet some folks tell us the spirit of altruism is dead.
The parade Saturday night might be termed a standing vote upon the issue; Pajamas vs. Night Shirts. As nearly as we could determine the partisans of the night shirt worn by about five hundred yards.
There were also a goodly number of independents.
The "Forum," a society at Manhattan has an officer who is designated by the title, "Secy-treaswillaintoin yearyear." We are unable to learn the nature of the society, but presume it is devoted to elocation. It is dobtful, through whether such an office could be called a pronounced success.
The Kansas State Collegeign advances the statement that about two hundred and fifty of the students at Manhattan ar etaking work in gas engines and traction engines. We will go them one better. Several of the students here are attempting to take the most of their work in motor cars.
Now cometh the season when each football coach makes the following statement, "It was not the actual playing but the spirit of fight shown by the team which pleased me most in our recent game."
The zoology department of the Argie school has shipped a quantity of poison to Argentina. South America, for use in exterminating certain rodents. Wouldn't it be great if the shipment should be sent via Mexico and be delayed there long enough for certain Mexican presidents to benefit thereby?
The Lebo "Enterprise" contains in the last issue an "Ode to a Cap." Numerous Lawrence students have been writing on "Owed" upon the subjects of overcoats, suits, hats, etc.
The first edition of Professor Blackmar's book has been exhausted. There is probably no thing which delights an author more than such an occurrence.
Kansas roots hope Nebraska will number their players, at least to the extent of giving them something easier to say than "Otoupalik."
The only college exchange which comes to our notice not claiming a championship team is the Smith College Weekly.
Reversing the Biblical Version The Ohio State Lantern carries an advertisement of a restaurant conducted by Lazarus. Probably the local Dives boards there.
Are you still here?
A great university believes in action, in utilities, in efficiency, in prosperity, and it is the most potent agency in the world for the promotion of these things; but it does not worship them; it does not regard them as final or supreme. It knows that understanding is superior to action, that ideas are better than utilities, that enlightenment is above efficiency, that magnanimity is more excellent than prosperity; for it knows that without intelligence and magnanimity—without light and soul—no form of being can be noble and every species of conduct must be be a kind of blundering in the night. A great university does not regard man as if he were created to be the servant of utilities, trades, occupations, professions, or what we call careers; man is not for these things, they are for him; they are not ends, they are means—Cassius J. Keyser.

A little fun to match the sorrow of
morning's growing—and good
morrow.
A little work, a little play
To keep us going—and so good-day.
A little trust that when we die
We must reap our sowing! And so,
good-bye!

Of love below, beloved—and so,

"Of Making Many Books."
"Of Making Many Books.
Indicating that public educational facilities are increasing rapidly, a recent report of the United States Bureau of Education says that over 20,000,000 volumes have been added to public libraries during the last seven years. There are in the United States over 18,000 regularly established libraries, containing more than 75,000,000 volumes. The report also shows, however, that the distribution of library facilities is still comparatively uneven. Of the L844 libraries organized in the United States in 1913, more than half were in the North Atlantic states; and of the 3,000,000 volumes added during the same year almost half were in the same section.
Medical Inspection in Florida Florida meets a long recognized need by providing for medical inspection of school children, under the supervision of the state board of health and further provides beweighed for the ill effects of alcoholic beverages and narcotics be taught to all children between six and twelve years of age. in the public schools.
Medical Inspection in Florida
On first thought, we say the child cannot grasp the subject but later we admit it is the process that produces the result that the child cannot comprehend but he is capable of understanding the result. Conceptions and standards formed at this impressionable age amount, in later life, to prejudices, which, to a very great degree are安全 safe to break them down. The provision is no doubt a small result of the great agitation for nation-wide prohibition and is the little leaven set to work that in the end will help to the attainment of an ideal.

STUDENT OPINION
BARB GIRLS' OPPORTUNITY Editor Daily Kansan:
Of the ten offices now held by women on the W. S. G. A. board, there is one held by a non-sorority woman. There are three vacancies that are to filled soon, two from the freshman class, and one from the sophomore class that has been left vacant by the failure of Esther Gibbs to return to school. At the time of the elections last spring, of the eleven girls who won places on the board, there were six sorority girls, to five dependents. Something else of time has been done. Now that the time is approaching for further additions to be made to the board, the question arises as to who shall fill the vacancies. All ready two or three sororites have candidates in the field.

Sorority Girl.
The W. S. G. A. is supposed to be a representative body, to legislate for the women of the University as a whole. It is supposed to represent all of the University women. In the coming elections, that this representative ideal may be lived up to it will be necessary for all women elected to be independents. Here is a chance for the sorority women to show their fairness, and for the women who are interested in the women as a whole, to step in and see that only independent women are elected. As that woman who is representing the seven hundred independent women on the Hill, while the other nine members are representing girls 175 The sorority women as well as the independents should take a definite stand on the subject.
