PICKED UP BETWEEN CLASSES
In the little brook that winds across the golf links lies an innocent looking piece of telephone pole, perhaps eightinches long. It apparently lies in water about four inches deep and has foot steps on it, the log promptly sinks into a hole which is more than shoe-top deep.
When the wind blows like it did Tuesday, every autoist's kit should contain a few feet of string or some thumb tacks. As the Beta's Fierce roller coaster, the Gym, a little breeze came around the corner and blew the hood right off the engine. The chauffer backed about forty feet, recovered the lost wheel when last seen and heard we re-enforcing the screws with language.

"Beef Wocknitz, freshman College, escorted a young woman to Emporia yesterday. "Beef" intended to go only a sfar as Topea and bought a round ticket trip for that place. But the going was so pleasant that he bought another round trip ticket from Topea to Osage. Arriving
there be bought still another from Osage to Emporia. When he returned he handed the conductor the tail ends of three round trip tickets. The conductor looked him over and said: "Okay, always buy the right idea. Always buy a round trip ticket. Otherwise you might get lost."
"Davey Crockett was as famous as a story teller as he was as a bear hunter and fighter." said Prof. W. W. Davis to his American history class a few mornings ago. "Here is one of his stories: 'He got caught in a fire.' He was trapped by the ice he fell through the ice in crossing a little stream and got his tinder wet. He couldn't make camp and couldn't make a fire, and would soon freeze unless something happened. Passing by a tall sapling he had an idea. He shimmed up the sapling about thirty feet away and warmed him up and he kept this up all night. By morning he was feeling fine and easily made camp."
Young people of the Baptist church will hold a picnic at Woodland Park. Friday evening, April 30. They will have lunch before the park. Lunch will be served at the park.
W. H. Dodds, who assisted in winning the debate from the Oklahoma team, disappeared from his rooming house last Thursday. No one knew what had become of him. He was later reported to him he admitted that he had been to Sterling, but failed to state just who he had visited there.
George Fitch, creator of Old Siwash, and humorist of note, isn't much of an expert with a typewriter, according to Leon Harsh, editor of the 1915 Jayhawk. Mr. Fitch, you may remember, recently contributed a short article to the Annual. "There is another method where capitals were needed—all evidently the result of poor typewriting. However, if I could write the things that Fitch did, little would I worry about whether I spelled everything correctly."

Latin Historian is Said to be the Best Chronicle of Big Wars
TACITUS THE MASTER?
We want your kodak work and will
inflish it in one day. Squire Studio
From the Boston Transcript
It is safe to say that no historian who writes about great events in any language had a personality so pronounced and imperious as Tacitus. Macaulay's grip is loose by comparison, and his bias patent and easy to resist. The sway of Tacitus' writing should question whether any reader sensitive to words, who is not a professed and very critical historian, has ever managed to evade it. His bias was not that of the partisan. He was not necessarily precisely because it is so even, so unvarying so deadly in its impartiality.
RODKEY BROKE A TRACK RECORD IN FOURTH-MILE
Tactius is the unique example of the disease, which no psychologist has yet diagnosed; he suffered from a severe case of anemia that us all his characters were very ordinary mortals. If they developed great vices when they assumed the purple, we are hardly allowed to feel their pain, implied some strength of character.
There is none for them who can approach him for style; there are few of them who come near him for vivid descriptions and war to describe. It raged in that annu mirabilis of A. D. H from Holland to Judeen, from Dacia to Provence. It saw the violent deaths of three emperors, and the legions who fought with bloody bands of the Po, till one battle was but the rehearsal of the next, as the Eastern armies have struggled at the Niemen and the Vistula. The world survived—survived to enjoy a rite, a sacrament, a bible, resting as the story is in the "Histories" of Tacitus—which one may now read in a brilliant and dignified version by Professor G. G. Ramsay (Murray)—the narrative from open perspective. This too, will pass, and the rivers will run limpid agam.
PAINTED SIMPLE THINGS
Lowers Time of McCoy of 1905 by One-fifth Second in Practice
tembrandt Painted for Practical,
Prosaic Holland Burgers
From the Springfield Republican,
"Rembrandt's art was founded upon
nature, upon truth," says Royal
Cordis Taylor, a historian of
Sense." From the beginning he
tried most of all to make his picture
look like the object placed before him,
and the people for whom he labored
were just the people to encourage his
habit." The prosperous burgers of
Holland were simple-minded folks,
"who kept the eyes up upon the fact
that they knew the eyes up on the fact.
They kept him busy, too, making their
portraits, and the well
trained artist was assured of his liv
Another K. U, record was broken yesterday afternoon in track practice when Rodkey, the star Jayahawk trackster, made the quarter-mile in 50:4.5 seconds. This is one fifth of a second lower than the former record of 51 seconds made by McCoy in 1955. However, this record will not stand for it was made only practice and the official records of the track meet made in a regular meet. But Rodkey答辩 it official by repeating his performance in the interclass meet on Friday.
This sort of a showing, coming when the prospect of winning the outdoor meet with Missouri are a doubtful quantity, makes a cheerful feeling among the local trackers. Rodkey has his mind set on beating Niedorck of Missouri and get revenge for the defeat he received in Convenience Kansas' chances in the relay look much better. The wick is getting in good form and with Rodkey running in record time the Jayawhackers should beat the Tiger team even if the latter were good enough to be sent to Pennsylvania.
Altogether the men are showing up fine in the practices this week and if weather conditions are favorable some records will be in dancer in the morning. The Poos are determined that 9:51:31 is much to slow for the two-mile record and expect to approach close to it. In the mile Herriott and Sproull have been running neck and neck this week for a sophomore victory in the intercollegiate race. Fiske made 2:04:41 in the half-mile in yesterday's practice and probably will run against each other Friday. Considering the report coming from fraternity officials an easy time of it at Lineholm, May 8. They claim to have a pole vault and a few short distance men which at present is Kansas' weak point. However, the Jayhawker can make a showing in the distances and the rebound end of the score. Manager Hamilton expects the interclass meet to show up some new men that can be developed into Varsity material.
ing, as was the mason or the cabinet maker.
"I purposely use this homely comparison because, in thinking of Rembrandt, it is important to think of him as working with his feet firm-fixed upon the ground, called upon to paint human beings in a simple, straight-forward fashion, and qualified by birth, by breeding, and by his whole body, into the spirit of his surroundings, into cute his task in harmony with them. His time was ripe for him, and he was ripe for his time.
"In saying that he was a born draughtsman we credit him with a gift which he shared with other men; and indeed, in certain other broad characteristics, he was very much a man of his period."
"A great part of the business of his life was the portrayal of his contemporaries, the writer continues.
"His parents occupied both his brush and his desk, making portraits of Saskia, of Titus, and afterward of Hendrick Stoeffels, and all his life long he was pondering his own features and telling, as he drew them, far better than a painting, of what lay beneath their surface.
"What manner of ideal is it that we may discern there with his aid? Not an ideal of romantic yearning after beauty. Not an ideal of a poet in the ordinary sense of the word, seeing visions and dreaming dreams."
UNWRITTEN POEMS ARE BEST
Japanese Says Real Test of Poet is to Resist Impulse to Speak
From the Springfield Republican.
"I always insist that the written poem should be good," writes Yong_Noguchi in "The Spirit of Japanese Poetry," "are only the second best, as the very best poems are left unwritten or sung in silence. It is my opinion that the real test for poets is how far they resist the impulse to utterance, or instead to write their own work—not how much they have written, but how much they have destroyed.
"Japanese poetry, at least the obi Japanese poetry, is different from Western poetry in the same way as silence is different from a voice, night with silence is different from day, say that night and day, silence and voice, are all the same; let me admit that they are vasy different; it is their difference that makes them so interesting. The sensitiveness of the Western poetic feeling dates from fluenced by the night and silence, as well as by the day and voice; let me confess, however, that my suspicion of the Western poetic feeling dates from quite far back in the days of my ancestors, as it seems quite often laughed at for my aimless or uttering under the moonbeams.
"One who lives, for instance, in Chicago or New York, can hardly know the real beauty of night and knowing the spinning Western character, would sweetened, or at least toned down, if that part of the beauty of Nature might be emphasized. Oh, our Japanese life of dream, and silence! The Japanese poetry is that of the moon, the waterfall for the noisest. If we do not sing so much of life and the world it is not from the' reason that we think their value negative, but from our thought that it would be better to see us alone, and not to sing of them is the proof of our reverence toward them."
"Standards Must be Raised"—Taft
In an address before the Alumni Association of Rutgers College, Prof. William H. Taft, of Yale, expressed the belief that the universities of this country were growing too big. The small college has the advantages over larger colleges in its high standards of loyalty to an ideal of tradition and discipline. He said that the diploma no longer meant what it meant when his father went to college. To revert to the old standard of the small colleges, Mr. Taft suggested that the standards must be raised, entrance examinations made easier, teachers and students eliminated from the college body before the colleges could attain once again the position they formerly held.
PI U.S WON ANOTHER GAME

"Short?" Strother, of football fame, essayed to heave for the lawyers but his slow baal lasted only six innings when the winners hopped on him for the first time. He pitched consistently and held his opponents well in hand.
SMALL AUDIENCE HEARS
GOOD ORCHHEST CONCERT
The Pi U.S. takes on the Alpha Chi Sigma Thursday afternoon at Humphrey's.
Thirty musicians who have been practicing under the direction of J. C. McKanes, rendered an exceptionally attractive orchestra program in the mid-1960s because attendance was small, the applause was long and hearty.
The program is as follows:
"March of the Elephants" (Caneuvee Overture, "Pique Dame", ... Suppie Piano Solo, "Flederman's Waltz")
"Evening on the Water" and "Glow Worm" were most favorably received. As special features Nina Kanaaga gave a piano solo, and William B. accompanied by the orchestra, gave a splendid selection on the cello.

"You can wear most any old thing to the Hop, but for the love o' Mike don't look like this."
It's a little early for straw hats and Palm Beach suits but if you want to be one of the early birds the weather is favorable. We're ready with all the new straws—the new ideas in Palm Beach suits—flannel trousers, and everything in fact, that will make you a well dressed man at the "Hop."
