TWO-EDGED.
If, dear reader, you have been troubled this week with regretful recollection of things written in quiz books—things which now seem to you totally inadequate in view of what might have been there inscribed—cheer up. You do not suffer alone.
A faculty member paced up and down a corridor in Fraser hall yesterday, in evident disquietude. "I feel guilty," he confided to a passerby. "I have been reading the examination papers of some of my students. The papers show a lack of comprehension of the subject which I did not suspect in any of my students, and contain errors which were never made in class and which I should have made all haste to correct if they had been made. I wonder how far I am responsible for those examination papers."
So, gentle reader, if you have humiliated yourself by revealing your ignorance to your instructor, he may be secretly sharing your humiliation. The quiz is a two-edged weapon, and while the
casualties seem to be all on one side, there may be many a hidden wound on the other.
RESPONSIBILITY.
The students of the University have a capacity for handling their affairs which has never been developed. The present opportunity to take an active part in the management of college athletics, in whatever way, should be embraced eagerly, not shrunk from as an unwelcome burden. What is needed is an honest facing of issues. Heretofore the faculty has managed sports. The faculty has made of athletics a clean and credible college activity. The students, it must be said, have permitted it to appear that their interest in sports has been on a lower plane. They have allowed a policy of evasion of rules and indifference to the improvement of sport to parade as student sentiment. The time is at hand when the real student sentiment must be made known, exactly as it is. Inter-collegiate sports may stand or fall as the result of the revelations that are forthcoming.
The present time is often spoken of as the era of the college map in large affairs. This is true because it is the era of the trained man and the college is the place where training for useful service may be gained. The college man who hopes to take an important part in affairs can best prepare by taking advantage of the peculiar opportunities which the school offers.
Of the making of dates there is no end. The compact which the class of 1911 has entered into to return to commencement in 1916 carries date-making about as far into the future as it has gone. The spirit which prompted it will insure a goodly representation of 1911 people at every commencement festival.
We will not know whether or not the backbone of winter is really broken until the advance agents of prosperity appear on the campus, dazzling the minds of University men with promises of sudden wealth in return for a few weeks' easy work next summer
"The daily practice of immortality is the habit of stopping to think of your fellow men as immortal spirits. It is this which has its effect on the character of the man," says E. I. Bosworth, dean of Oberlin College. "This spirit is the promise of the commonplace and characteristic in immortality. The effect of such thinking on a man's character is to make him a truer friend, and make him have a higher estimate of those with whom he comes in contact, and take more pains with his friendships."
The Thoughts of Others.
Miss Elma Ulm of Lawrence, a former student of the University, who has been attending school in Washington, D. C., has taken a position as teacher in an Indian institute in North Carolina.

BY O. H. LOVEJOY.
[A poem by Eugene F. Ware in the Topeka Capital, dealing with the existences, suggested to a University rhymester the following parody.]
Half a million Kansas blizzards
Hait a million Kansas blizzards
Have congealed their cheerless giz
Have congealed their cheerless giz zards,
Since I serenaded Alice
In her lofty pine-tree palace
On a bluff beside the ocean,
While below in wild commotion,
Stood my rivals 'mid the corals,
Screaming forth their frenzied mal ice.
Filled with many a hairy brother,
Each one scrapping with another,
Were the branches round the palace
Held by sturdy brown defenders;
And the rivals far beneath her
Saw my sinewed arms ensheath her,
Saw our lips with kisses mingle,
In the sunset's dying splendors.
From the top-most leafy turret,
I lose of time can never blit it.
Shied we at the vanquished suitors Pine cones from the breezy casement.
Hearts wiht gleeful malice leaping;
Gazed we on their baffled weeping,
As the smitten, sloping foreheads,
Felt the sting of their debasement.
Soon a soaring pterodactyl,
With its claws so strong and tractile,
Chased the rash, rejected lovers
To the tall grass with its charges;
Then we caught a three-toed pony,
Hopped upon its haunches bony,
And his twelve hoofs crunched the sea shells;
Bore us o'er the ocean's marges.
In a far, secluded region,
Guadalupe.
In a far, secluded region,
Guarded by a monkey legion,
'Mid the branches of a fern tree,
Builted we another palace.
Soon above the breezes' sighing,
Rose the note of infant crying,
And at night I walked the branches
To the rhythmic snores of Alice.
Well, I lost my life while "hooking"
Dinosaur, my wife was cooking;
For she hit me twixt the eyebrows
With an infant alligator.
Where my hungry horde was crying.
And, as it to me was useless,
I obtained another later.
There my body soon was frying,
Twenty lives I lived with Alice,
And I never bore her malice
For the "basting" that she gave me
When I sought to force her larder.
Then, through countless generations,
Pressed between the rock formations,
Dreamt I happy dreams of Alice,
And the old Carbonic ardor.
Very little do you tax me,
When you turn to me and ask me,
"Where is Alice now, please tell us,
Why, we never see you with her?"
Long ago aweary grew she,
That my number always drew she,
So she got a change of venue,
Neer again to venture hither.
