STILL LIFE.
In the University museum stands the sculptured bronze figure of a man who is supposed to be planting corn. His hand is extended to drop some kernels into the earth and he has a spade to cover them up with. No one has ever seen the bronze man move since he was placed in position on the museum floor. Seemingly he is always on the job, yet his work never gets anywhere.
It is unfortunate that there is a little lodge of members of the Student Council who seem to believe that the highest expression of their duties as representatives of the student body is in emulating the man of bronze in his masterly attitude of Doing Nothing,
Those who are opposed to the woman's suffrage movement will find an extremely favorable point in the fact that although this question is now up for consideration before the State Legislature, no signs of life can be detected in the Women's Equal Suffrage League at this University. It is painful to think that these young ladies have allowed a golden opportunity to pass and have not offered a single resolution or petition to the august assembly in Topeka. Can it be that they will not acknowledge that they are old enough to vote?
The Student Council has decided to hold a conference with the members of the Athletic Board before deciding what to do in the matter of college baseball. It is a pretty good thing to know what one is about when taking an important step, and the proposed conference ought to clear up matters somewhat. Still,there is an unpleasant suspicion that the Council is anxious not to do anything with eligibility. It looks bad for baseball.
Sure! Let 'Em Vote.
In the Kansas Senate today Senator Reed read an editorial from The Star censuring the legislatuer for its refusl to make sufficient appropriations for the maintenance of the State University and the State Agricultural College, and offered a resolution to submit the appropriations to a vote of the people.
Fine!
The people who pay the taxes and the people who have children to educate should pass upon the question of the appropriations for schools.
By all means let the question be submitted to the citizens of Kansas—Kansas City Star.
KICKS.
Opportunity is Banging at your door!
Take off the latch, open wide the door and fill your wardrobe with the best clothes it ever contained!
He Wanted to See.
To the Editor of The Kansan.
The question of large hats, those with the dome shape effect, with a garden of roses planted in such a manner as to obstruct the view of the little man behind, seems proper at this time.
At the Missouri basket-ball games, a young man, who had paid double the price of admission, failed to see a goal thrown, simply because a dashing young lady wore her dome effect.
FOR $15
Couldn't the manager make a short address before the opening of the next series with Nebraska and ask the ladies to dispense with their rose gardens during the game?
It is awfully embarrassing to ask your lady friend the score every two or three minutes and have her reply that she doesn't know how to keep score.
—The Man Who Paid.
Dr. W. H. Carruth delivered an illustrated lecture before the West Side Study club last Tuesday in Fraser hall. Stereoptic views from the country of William Tell, together with a talk on this character were the features of the meeting.

The dean of Wellesley reports that 216 courses were given by the various departments in the year 1909-1910, aggregating $478_{1/2}$ hours of instruction a week not including hours duplicated because of additional sections of the same course, or courses given to special students in hygiene and physical education.
The question of having an undergraduate committee at Haverford for the purpose of profering hospitality to visiting alumni, whether they come back singly or in groups, was taken up at the recent meeting of the Athletic Council and it was decided that this should be one of its duties.
The boys of the senior class of Fairmount College, at Wichita, are reported to have voted to wear mustaches from now until after commencement is past. Opposition to the plan is being started by the senior girls and also of the under classes and a united boycott against the senior boys is threatened. Confronted by this obstacle some of the boys are wavering, but the more determined ones threaten dire things to any of those who break their oath.
