WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29, 1915
No Capital earns such interest and personal culture—President Eliot.
AFTER ELECTION—WHAT?
This is the hour of torn buttonholes,
of secret meetings in students' rooms,
of whispered, hurried consultations
in campus corners. The Bug is in the
air—the Bug of Politics.
Jim will vote for Joe if Joe will vote for Jim, and the Fly Jam vote goes for Jones on condition that the Eta Bita Pie vote will go for Smith. Class officers are sought and bartered today.
But tomorrow, who can say offhand who is vice-president of the juniors, or secretary of the sophomores? The spirit of the class will vanish in thin air.
How prevent this death of class spirit? Is not the best way to elect "live ones" to office, men who will develop a spirit of unity in the class, and conduct its activities conscienciously, regardless of their political connections and alliances? For after all, in class politics, it is the man and not the ticket or the party who will do the work, if any work is done.
ITS FRIDAY NIGHT
Friday night is the date for that first big rally. Now is the time to make dates—for that rally. It is to be in the Gym and there will be plenty of room for every student in the University. Men and women, singly and in dates will be there to give old "Rock Chalk." They will sing "Crimson and the Blue," standing. The band will play between acts so that we can get our break again for an "Oh me Oh my" And we'll be introduced to Coach Olcott and hear a little discussion of prospects. Well get the dope straight Friday night. And that'll make the pep ooze for the game Saturday—and the formal event following in the evening.
"THE ROSARY" RETURNS
"The Rosary" has come back. Indubitable proof is on every hand. One has but to walk two or three blocks through the student district any evening to have the conviction brought home to him that "The Rosary" is the best seller among songs this fall. Pianos jingle it out with variations and perchance in improvisations. Violins wall forth its sad strains. The whole family of wind instruments use it as a vehicle for keeping the well known welkin aroused. Vices in solo, duo, and quarto with harmony so close as to be at times almost negligible do their utmost to understand the pall of melancholy which is gradually settling down upon Lawrence.
It has been observed that the land-ladies of Lawrence encourage the renaissance of "The Rosary." Some have even gone so far as to purchase copies for the parlor piano. Just why is hard to determine. Some
pessimist has advanced the theory that it is because music of a sentimental nature has a depressing effect upon the applique, but we hasten to reject this idea with scorn. Phychoologists may later determine for us both the reason for the rejuvenation of "The Rosary" and the landladies' championship of it. Until that time comes the students will continue to "count them over" and to "kiss the cross," in tones varying from the basso profundo to the falsetto.
MORE TRAINING FOR BRIDGE
From Ireland comes the news that the department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction for the Emerald Isle has established a training school in domestic economy at St. Kevin's Park, near Dublin.
The school is a residential institution, providing ample accommodation for students, in addition to class rooms and recreation grounds. The work of the school comprises two courses of instruction—one year in household management, the object of which is to train girls to manage their own homes, and a further two years' course of training for teachers of domestic economy.
It is to be hoped, however, that none of the proverbial, although possibly unscientific, goodness that always has come from the hands of the Bridget of old, will be lost in this reduction of a delightful art to a system of cold, hard, scientific training.
Vers Libre L. E. S.
I think I shall write vers libre.
... much easier to put down words without regard to rhyme or meter. Than to spend valuable time making the ends of lines match.

penheim
Whose normal function it is to purvey detective concoctions to the public, can get away with it
And not only get away with it but make money thereby
Then why not I? (This rhyme not intentional)
And even if editors will not pay me for it
They may accept it upon payment of the usual advertising Rates.
So upon the whole I think I shall write vers libre.
STUDENT OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith though names will be omitted.
POOR SYSTEM?
Editor Daily Kansan:
I know of libraries at other universities with intricate systems of checking out books which is a little annoying at times, but at least the books are available in trying to find the books from which he has to prepare his lesson.
What is the matter with our library system at K. U, which makes it impossible for a student to get the books which have been assigned by his professor? It seems to be growing worse and worse. The librarians frequently do not know whether the books should be upstairs or down, or whether they have been checked out or lost. It is not unusual for the librarian to say, "I don't know where that book is." I believe the professor took it out himself," or else, "Why that book was stolen last year. We have had more trouble with our books being stolen."
The professor is an amicable gentleman who pores incessantly over books during vacation time and on summer days writes dreary papers with the same movements than he reads but the catalogs clerk in the library.
Should a librarian when questioned as to how to find a book adopt the most aggrieved air as though it were not her business to know about books?
The professors we have watched and studied in the summer vacation periods are the liveliest of sportsmen; lovers of the out-of-doors; tremendous hikers who敞 off twenty miles before breakfast to stir the atmosphere with a wholesome, healthy enjoyment of the pleasant July and August days.
That is the popular superstition.
But make all superstitions, it is not a reality.
NOT A MOLLYCODDLE
Ever try to outwalk a professor on a dusty country road?—Washington Alumnus.

parts of the country, bring with them a national spirit that rises above a local spirit. Removed from home environment, the scholar sinks or swims, according to individual merit. Usually he swims—there are plenty to instruct him in the art of keeping his head above water. He gains strength and courage to hold his own against the world and reasonableness enough to respect the rights of others.
The college body must have standards also—high standards—and the pupil learns not only to be a gentleman at heart, but to act as one. He unconsciously acquires polished manners, where before he only boasted good ones. And he acquires sharpened with an敏厉 deaf and dead when he keeps when he wins his degree, but acutely alive and ready for the frays of life.

EDUCATION FOR WOMEN
Time was when woman's chief training in life was about summed up in the ability to droop her eyelashes and manipulate the spinning wheel, Prisieella-wise, says the editor of Collier's. But it is gradually coming to be recognized that fitting women for life is something more than teaching her to do embroidery and telling her what to avoid. Women's education used to be negation; it has become positive.
"How to Live Completely. This is the great thing which education has to teach," thus Herbert Spencer is quoted by the prospectus of a school for women which aims "to fit them for life." This institution wisely considers that a number of elements go to make up that fitness. Hand in hand with the study, by theory, of philosophy, sociology, and political economy go the problems of motherhood and home life. Under the heading "Home Making: Domestic Engineering" are these subdivisions:
House construction and furnishing House construction and furnishing

Household management
Cooking, sewing, millinery

Dr. Hale's Book in Italy
An Italian translation of Dr. E. E.
Hale's famous story, "The Man Without
a Country," has, it is reported,
been circulated in Italy in a cheap
pamphlet edition for the purpose of
arousing patriotic feeling—The Outlook.
With the college work just commencing we are again reminded of the speed of time and the amount of work to be accomplished.
ON TIME
K. E. Leib, '15, chairman of the Stanford intercollegiate debating committee, will be on hand tonight to aid in the formation of a forensic club to be composed exclusively of Stanford women.
The other day, shortly after a lecture had commenced, a belated student entered the hall and was welcomed by another student with "Shut the gate and sit down." The late afternoon of the theater, church, opera and dinner but it seems that he is more than ordinarily prevalent on the campus.
Another effect of tardiness in classes is the failure to keep appointments and attending committee meetings on time. Cooperation in all things means being there on time. Poor committee work is not a good idea. The faculty should be more strict and "shut the gate" at seven minutes past the hour, and students should get up and on the hour.—Iowa State Student.
A clever mathematician could probably figure out that a total of 100 hours are lost in every twenty-four by the faculty and students on the campus due to somebody's not being there on time. We are reluctant to give them an answer when at fault. Many classes are held after the hour and many instructors and professors are too lenient with the late comers.
Stanford women have played in important parts in winning intercollegiate debates in past years, a woman being on every Stanford team victorious over California in '94, '97, and '00. Lately women have not come out for debating to any noticeable extent. If tonight's meeting proves a success and the club gets under way, debating for Stanford women is expected to become permanent—Daily Palo Alto.
Administration Building—A dream; the crippled child of the University campus; a whim of the Kansas state legislature; a cattle in Castle. Called by a freshman the "adversary building." It is the abode of many politicians, a few professors, and others. In the basement was formerly the K. U. managere belonging to the psychology department.
