WHY NOT OPEN LIBRARY TO USE OF STUDENTS.
Last night an unusual phenomenon was observed on "the hill." The sun had set and for some time the radiance of the moon had silvered the Mount Oread crest before those in charge of the library felt the call of hunger and doused the lights and locked up the building until they should have partaken of their meal. Usually the first premonitory pangs of hunger or the first whiff of boarding house cooking which floats into the east windows of Spooner Hall from the reflectories at the foot of the hill serve as the signal for driving the students from their work in the library and locking the building tight shut until the more important matter of eating has been disposed of. Some of the more hopeful in the student body see in the incident of last night a hopeful sign that at some future date the University authorities may keep University buildings open to the best advantage of the student body. The lock step and certain other matters of unison may be extremely appropriate in some of the state institutions, but it seems that the choosing of meal times is one of the matters which may be left for the University students to exercise at their own discretion. And if the authorities are really considering keeping the library open at such times as the students wish to use it, they might devote some attention to the many arguments in favor of keeping it open on Saturday afternoons.
We started to write a long editorial on the meeting of the American Mathematical Society here last week, but when we came to the place on the program where Prof. Vander Vries talked for full twenty minutes on "The Stinerians of Quartic Surfaces,"we decided to leave the editorial for the puzzle editor to write.

Full dress rehearsal was held this afternoon in the opera house.
The costumes arrived yesterday from New York. They are more elaborate than anything ever seen in a comic opera here. The soldier-dresses for the girls are very rich. The costumes for the men are of the courtier style. Special scenery has been procured.
Tickets for "Princess Ida" will be on sale at Woodward's Drug Store tomorrow morning.

STUDENTS NOT SERIOUS.
Flunking an Economic Consideration Says Prof. A. J. Boynton.
"The average undergraduate does not take himself seriously enough," said Professor A.J. J. Boynton to his economics class yesterday. "From an economic standpoint a student in K.U. can not afford to flunk. Eastern men who have an allowance of $5000 a year can well fail. They get their money's worth leaning against the historic walls of the old schools. The walls at this University are so young that they are still bleak and it doesn't pay a student to come here and flunk just to rub against them. Flunking is an economic question with the ordinary Kansan and every flunk means an economic loss."
