CUTTING CLASSES
William Jennings Bryan, speak
ing before a largo ct-oup of school
children, once compared each day's
lesson to a brick in the wall of the
child's career. For every brick left
out, there was bound to be a weak
spot in the wall. Ou?y the use of
every brick in its proper place could
produce a perfect, upright and last
ins structure.
Not only to the early lessons of
children is this applicable. e can
see where it pertains very directly
to university students. Many stu
dents seemingly believe that cutting
classes is something to be proud of.
They try to cut just as many as pos
sible and still get by in the course.
Many have it figured down to a
science they know exactly how
many cuts certain instructors will
allow.
But back to the bricks. Every
class cut is a blemish in the student's
university career, just as every brick
omitted weakened the wall. The-y
must ail be used, an 1 used correct .
This may De a ratner childish illus
. tration but it carries the correct
idea. The next time you have a de
sire to skip a class, remember Bryan's
bricks.
J to the Ranch," or "The Folly of Art
That too Is perhaps not bo lmportan
because every comedy that needs lot
of publicity can be entitled "It Pays
to Laugh" and the crowd is sure to
flock to the theater. Why? Because
no matter how mediocre a play Is, as
long as It makes-people laugh it is
worth while taking a night off to see
It. Some people perhaps most peo
pie think that they are taking life
seriously if they never smile, but look
as gravely as an ambulating sphinx
That is far from the truth. Nietsche
was perhaps wrong in some things he
said, but he was indeed right in say
ing.that the strong man the creator
the man with the back bone and the
snap is the great laugher, the man
who shrivels his difficulties by the
amiability of his smile.
A double thrust Is not the style hi
editorial craftsmanship. But often it
pays to thrust in two places with the
same weapon. First we frankly hope
that in view of the fact that this is
a college town and there still flick
ers a love of good plays, the theater
management will not be afraid to
bring a real live play to Madison. But
meanwhile, in the second place, we
feel that still "It Pays to Smile."

Every year the library movement
is advancing; public libraries are
taking their places in the educational
and social schrme of civic and com
munity life; college and university
libraries are becoming more active
in making their treasures known;
school libraries are proving essential
to the work of teachers and pupils;
county libraries are offering wider
service to rural districts and special
libraries are growing in number as a
result of specialized needs.
In considering your life work, don't
overlook librarianship as a profession.
A librarian's days are pleasant ones,
full of work but also lull of iuspra
tion and enjoyment.
The rapid development of libraries
insures to those entering the profes
sion: An opportunity lor service to the
community.
Continuous opportunity for indivi
daul development.
Congenial surroundings and social
contact.
A choice of work not limited geo
graphically. A wide range of specialized activ
ities. Salaries are not commensurate with
the services required but are becom
ing better as the library profession
continues to receive increased recognition.

Contemporary Opinion
"IT PAYS TO SMILE"
Without hurting the admirers of
May Robson and without arousing
the ire of the dramatic critic -who is
nowhere to be found as this editorial
emerges from the typewriter roll, we
cannot but feel that "It Pays to
Smile" was just one of the many
plays one of the run of patch-work
comedies that are sewn together with
a thread of newspaper witicisms and
then red-streaked with the popularity
of a ready-made star. It was too
homely to be a "corker" and too crude
to be a piece of art. There was too
much acting in the play and not
enough honest-to goodness genuine
feeling. But nevertheless it made
many people laugh and feel better,
and that no doubt compensated for
its artistic rough-edgedness. One
thing we could not see was why the
play was captioned "It Pays to Smile
when it might have been named
"Don't Trust a Spsinter,rt or "Back

Dearest Jane:
"In the spring a young man's fancy
," those cursed words are all too
true and I'm thinking that if someone
hadn't written them so that folks
would ream them and remember in
the spring, maybe the poor down
etrodden could keep a level bead.
Dear Jane, isn't it funny how folks
fumble around just when they arc
trying to be most imposing. I shall
never recover from the mortification
of "un faux pas" I made In the vrin- j
tor when I went to a formal and in
attempting a gushing welcomo to ono
of the chaperones, sahT, "It's a won
derful evening, Isn't It?"
"She looked at me rather queerly
"Didn't you notice the
snow, dear?"
I should have been happy if the
chandelier had fallen on mo, such a
blow my tongue had dealt me, for It
was positively the worst night of the
season.
Reminds me of an incident that oc
curred the other day wuen one of Di
ana's old flames was congratulating
her on her recent acquirement of a
good-looking fraternity pin. Jack, th"
oldbounder, you know the way he is
always saying what he doesn't mean
and meaning what he doesn't say,
pipes up with, "Well you Know uui,
the early bird gets the worm.
Which was decidedly out of order,
and didn't please Diana and if I had
not draecred Jack off I am sure we
would have had a nice list of hon

University of Kansas Phi Kappa
Psi has started somethin new in
house dances. The first radio dance
was held at their home. Radio music
was heard broadcasted from Denver
and Kansas City. Although the am
plifier was not strong enough to
make the music heard all over the
house, enough music could be heard
to permit dancing by many couples

DUMB BELLS HOLD
PICNIC AT ARMORY
The spirited and original order of
Dumb-Bells, formerly known as the
Near Phys-eds," congregated in the
rmory Tuesday noon for a business
.eeting, topped off with a picnic feed.
The main issue of the meeting was
he pinning of the official (yet inad
equate) badge, the Dumb bell on Miss
ouise Pound, the club's honorary
member. Camp business came next
with Sara Surber, appointed chairman
of the committee, to plan a camping
trip a week-end during the first of
May.
The order that started with a hand-
full of girls less than two years ago,
as grown until many shirt-waists are
now weighted down Dy tne goiuen

urp who makes an athletic team In
A. A. and who does not make
nown her desire at once to join the

cal Education department are barred
from membership, not because cf lack
of athletic ability but because of tech-
icalltles arising from their choice
of college courses.
