LOOKING AROUND
MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1915
One sitting in the back row at a lecture or entertainment is bound to be impressed by several small matters that escape the more devout seekers after knowledge. One especially noticeable fact concerns the inevitable late conners who are such an ever present pest. Pest is the word, all right but the fact remains that people allow themselves to be bothered a great deal more than is necessary.
Now whenever anyone comes in late, now ninety-nine and forty-four hundredths per cent of those present feel it incumbent on them to look around. The action is purely automatic. Nobody really cares who is coming in, or anything about it. They simply respond to the stimulus of the sound, and turn their heads unthinkingly. But this cannot be done without distracting the attention of the person who turns around, and it can be easily imagined that the effect on the speaker would be far from conducive to continuity of thought and speech.
The remedy is a little thought and the exercise of self control on the part of individuals in the audience. Just try not paying any attention next time someone comes in late and you will be surprised to find how easy it is. And if ever you address a meeting, and have to see five hundred heads turn every few minutes to watch the progress of some late comer, you will be sorry you ever were guilty of such a senseless performance. Let the late ones sneak in with as little disturbance as possible. They will find seats just as quickly without you looking on, and the lecturer will be grateful.
SPRING
The first touches of spring in the air have brought out the real spring harbingers—the marbles and tops of the kids. The editor is not yet so far from his days of commies and spikers that he doesn't envy the little fellows when spring comes 'round and memory recalls to him the days of his own boyhood, when the school-bell sounded a daily summons to hated 'rithmetic and jorgathy -and the lengthening days called to woods and streams.
The early days of spring when the bull-heads are beginning to bite in the crick and the buds are swelling in the tops of the elms and the cotton-woods, are the days that will linger longest in the memory of the men who passed the golden years of boyhood in a small town. For after all, as many have said, a man is but a boy
grown up, if he keeps the joys of living that makes life worth while, and ye editor confesses that the sight of a lively game of knuckle down on the smooth sod gives him a feeling that perhaps he's getting too old to have, but which he hopes he may never lose
GO TO THE GYM
Ever go over to the Gym? If you don't, you probably feel doopy or tired every time a warm day comes, and wish you were a thousand miles from books and the sound of the 8 o'clock whistle; you get tired of the "chuck" at your table; tired of school and study, and envy the kid brother at home.
If that's the way you feel, try going over to the Gym once in a while—it is a really time-saving measure; refreshed by a swim or a good work-out you accomplish more with your work, you will feel better, will lose that dull headache, and the grub at your table will suddenly look better than it has since Christmas.
Chasing the Glooms
It is quite appropriate that one of the women in the English Women's History Museum, Ms. Cox, tells us

Pandora's Box
LECTURE-LEAVERS
It is too hard, when a person screws up enough courage to go to a lecture that he can't sit it out. Not to mention, the discomfort of speaking, the discomfort it causes your neighbor and the general commotion you create, it shows pretty well what sort of a head and much tenacity you possess. Stick it out if you are game!
Of course there are times when this breach of social ethics can be excused. If you are taken very suddenly ill with heart ache, apothecary, or any other medical condition, handkerchief over your brow in a gesture of unmistakable pain, get up haltingly, and with a wild glare flee from the room. This will show your unsympathetic neighbor that there is a good reason for your sudden departure.
If you have just been brought a telegram by the usher telling of the sudden death of some dear one, then absently crumble the bit of fatal yellow paper in the palm of your nervous hand with as loud a noise as possible. The poor man moan which rendes the hardened ears of your nearby fellow-beings, and dash headlong out of the room—by all means taking care that you let the speaker feel the necessity for your haste. This often gives him a moment to put on an hour on the pangs suffered by a fellow-man in case of instant death.
If some one accidentally treads on that sore toe of yours, and you feel as if you simply couldn't sit through the rest of the afternoon, then, look at the offender wildly, utter a shrill screech, and limp out of the bondage-house carrying your foot in one hand. This is a sure way to elicit fear from most heartless of audiences. They love to see your sensitivity for pain.
If the lecturer touches some wellspring in your soul, if his words have moved your relentless heart for the first time in years, and you feel as if you were going to weep at least two pails of tears, then take no pains to suppress your anger. You will be surrounded by spontaneous and uncontained. Let your eyes become red, and your lips become glibberish, as you utter sob after sob. People will see then that you have something in your life dark and mysterious, and you become an interesting specimen.
But if you are merely tired, if your date is waiting for you on the outside, if you have to hurry home and get into bed, you must face the house, if you crave a puff at that five cent cigar you have in your pocket, then for the sake of every one included, and especially for your risky reputation, suppress all longing, and stay the performance out.

A group of men stood around a Missourian who had been pulled out of the river after sinking three times. "Give him some whiskey," said one. A murmur came from the drowned man. Some one put his ear down and listened. He said "Roll me over first and get some of this water out of me. I want're straight."—Glen Elder Sentinel.
Speaking the Kansas Language
Woman is fast coming into her own. No longer does she have to scream or crawl on top of the cupboard when a naughty mouse infests the house, nor does she have to allow another cat to escape caught until the man of the house comes home to dispose of it. A paper mouse trap of the common spring variety has been perfected at such low cost that the lady of the house merely done a pair of cotton flannel pants and a pair of tattered traps, mouse and all to a cleaning by tossing them into the fire—Pawnee Rock Sentinel.

Why dont you ever write to me Auntie dear? For you know when you are away from home and have that awful lump in your throat that simply won't go up or down, and have a horrid nobody-loves-me feeling; there is nothing on earth which will give you relief like a letter from home. Try it some more, and you? Knew you couldn't care less until the afternoon mail comes even if I know perfectly well that I wont receive so much as an advertisement and it is not time for bills to begin to arrive. It's silly, but I reckon I milly for I guess my curiosity (and you know I have a huge

(bump of it) gets the best of me.
Speaking of curiosity Auntie, I always knew girls were curious but I have never had it so clearly demonstrated as at the house in which I live. They are all perfectly dear and would do anything in the world for me to believe that ever-harder curiosity would grow their very heart strings away.
Every day I fairly race home from 1:30 class to see if by chance the postman has favored me. If he has presented me with even so much as a bill, and the hand writing is the least bit strange, the whole house assembles, turning the desk around examining the postmark, date, and holding it up to the light to receive a better view of the contents. I'm almost expecting them to take up a collection to purchase an X-ray machine to accomplish their means. I don't know I may be a perfect little pris, but I consider my letters my affairs. There I feel better that is our chance to have the whole man is thrown into the utter delight, for they have only to read, and allow me to announce that they do not hesitate to do so. Aren't girls the limit?
Yesterday was Bettie's birthday and her mother sent her the most heavenly box. Well we were all invited in and we sat on the floor and watched her celebrate. In my wildest dreams did I ever expect to see or taste such angel-food cake, chocolate cake, fried chicken, cookies, candy—Nancy, dream on, fair one, and wait till your birthday. You know when I was a freshman mother used to send me boxes quite frequently, but now I'm a junior, it never seems to occur to her that a box would be acceptable. I reckon she thinks it would spoil my complexion. I'd give a quarter, hard up as I am, if I could have one of those grand fruit cookies you make—but I reckoned they would be hard to eat because of the mess, though I never get really filled up from Christmas to Easter.
Must hurry and get this off so goodbye Remember always that I left.
Student Opinion
Nancy.
Editor Kansan:
Those persons who felt it necessary to leave the lecture given in chapel Thursday while the speaker was should also not only show disrespect for the speaker but a profound disregard of other attendants at the lecture.
No student in the University o. Kansas would feel just the same to toward a friend who would turn his back and walk away during a conversation with another student, his friends for making so much noise while he was speaking that the point of the talk became confused with the racket. Yet many of these same particulars no one concede the respect to a public speaker that they expect for themselves.
"Hello, Jones! Hear you've got a fine reel this week."
"That's what," declared the proprietor of the Bowersock. "It's so good that speculators have gotten hold of my tickets and are selling 'em for twelve cents on the sidewalk right now."—Adv.
