dm desperate appeals for "copy"
have had some offect, but there Is much
room yet for Improvement. Wo have
not seen a good joke for nn nge--maybo
you hnvc an old one in stock that will
stand being nlrod. Lot us have it or
anything else, local, obituary, a sermon,
personal or news items.
In sending anything into this ottlec
It is very essential that it bo written
very plainly on soft paper and with a
soft pencil. Type-written copy Is very
much desired. The Linotype machines
make it necessary that tho copy bo
plainly written, as the operator has
no time to study out Incomprchonslve
hieroglyphics.
According to reports in the papots at
different placos whore Chancellor Mac
Lean has boon lecturing recently, the
occasions were enjoyable aa well as
Instructive ones. The Chancellor Is a
man well adapted to making friends
aad his visits to various parts of the
. 4ityoenn senrcoly result otherwise
than of great value to the Institution
of which ho Is the head. After seolng
tho Chancellor, hearing his lectures,
and making the acquaintance of so
agrueahlo a man, It Is but natural for
parents to deolde that tho stato uni
versity is the school for tholr sons and
daughters.
It Is very perceptible this year that
the first preparatory department is
abolished. It will add much more to
the standing of tho university when
the remaining preparatory department
Is done away with. In most of tho towns
of the stato there are high schools which
will lit students for the freshman class.
The university will thon bo loss crowd
ed than before and the professors will
be able to glvo moro tlmo to tho higher
classes.
Another commondablo foaturo was
the debarring of spuojal students only
under specific conditions. Thoso stu
dents not only Injured thomsolves by
laek of study, but lufluuncod a largo
number of very good students to nog-
leet theirs.
Well, don't forget about thoso songs.
lCeiybody got lots of enjoyment out of
the scanty supply last your. You need
not restrict them to lit such occasions
as football ttuinoH. Tho Glee club Is
ready for some worthy productions.
Our college In noticeably laoklng In
p HseHHinn of collogo songs. If half a
di.en students are out togetlur they
hue no Mong they all know. A good
rollkklng, cheerful conglomeration of
words adapted to a popular air would
lit such an occasion very nlcoly. It
would not tnke much time or brains to
produce such a composition. Here's a
ahance for lots of glory for someone, be
side tho consciousness of performing
an act, so phllanthroplcal In nature,
that all his fellow creatures will re
ceive tho benefit of It.
An oxchango says that the board of
education of Kansas City has recently
adopted a resolution prohibiting tho
practice of cigarette smoking during
sohool hours by pupils and that tho
teachers are making evory effort to en
force the new edlot.
It would bo natural now to add,"thls
Is a stop In tho right direction," but wo
think tho phrase a little too old for use.
Anyway It is gratifying to note that
our southern neighbor Is thus entering
the procession of advanced civilization.
How delightful now mi'st It' bo for
members of that board to enter a school
room and not find the Inmates with
their feet cocked upon the desks, icv
ullng in clouds of blue smoke! As to
tho prohibition of cigars and pipes tho
Information Is lacking, and wo are
left to Judge that thoso Indulgences are
poimlttod. We hope so. Wo hope that
Kansas City board will come down easy
upon those abused scholars. Just
think of tho hardships this restriction
puts upon them not allowed to have
a uulot smoke during school hours!
Poor things. Tho shock may bo too
groat ensos of death resulting from
abrupt deprivation of the nicotine ar
ticle, are not unknown. What a tiBk
this board Is running for conscience
sake! It Is possible they may bo con
fronted with a suit for damages for
the amount reaching the lognl value of
a life.
We bid this board Ood-spood In its
glorious work of reform. May It stand
ns n shining oxamplo for others to fol
low. Tho world Is suffering for lack
of Just such conscientious work. May
tho day bo near nt hand when It will

Some of our professors havo boon
known to complain about students en
tering their recitation rooms after tho
second gong has struck. Tracing the
cause of tills practice to Its source, wo
find it to be the professors thomsolves.
As we understand It, Mie first gong Is
for dismissal of classes not a notifi
cation that preparation for bringing
the recitation co a close, is to be begun.
It takes all of live minutes for the
average student (but the average stu
dent Is a pretty slow Individual) to
go from tho third floor of Nebraska hall
to a recitation room In the main build
ing. University hall Is always crowd
ed during the Interval between the first
and second gongs, and unless one Is
actually Impolite, It Is very dlfllcult to
make much hurried progress within Its
halls.
Many of our professors pay particular
attention to the prompt dismissal of
their recitations, but there are n few
who cnuso much Inconvenience, both
to themselves and those under their
Instruction, by not noticing the time,
and announcing the next day's lesson
after the striking of the gong.
in this connectlon'tt might be appro
priately said that many students do not
conduct themselves In a manner befit
ting college-bred gentlemen when
they hear tho first gong. There Is tho
scraping of feet, closing of books and
banging or seats, making It Impossible
for tho Instructor to make himself heard
nbovo tho din even In finishing a clos
ing sontenco. In this way studonts
themselves hinder a prompt dismissal
Around the Campus.
The Amateur Thespian had placed his
weary feet In an elevated position
against the trunk of a tree and had set
tled hlmsolf neath Its shade for a com
fortable smoke. It was rather a chilly
afternoon, but the force of habit was
too strong and despite the weather ho
found himself In his old position med
itating upon tho social condition gen
erally. Tho tramp of feet on the dried leavos
startled him, and turning around ho
noticed tho Legal Light appearing, lie
hoped he had not been seen by him so
he slipped hlmsolf around tho opposlto
sldo of tho tree, hoping thus to escapo
observation. He knew tho Legal Light's
falling. It was a tendency to talk too
much. The Amateur Thespian notic
ed a worried look on his countenance
and he surmised nt once that the Logal
Light was In search of a victim to toll
his troubles to. His attempt to avoid
observation availed him nothing.
"Say," began the Legal Light, ad
dressing tho Amateur Thosplnn as soon
ns his approach was noticed, "do you
think U. of P. will boat Princeton this
year?"
"Well, that depends," rejoined tho
Amateur Thespian, speaking slowly
and deliberately, as wns his wont. "If
U. of P. hus a hotter"
"Oh, come off, now," abruptly broko
in the Legal Light. "Don't you think
that's a little too old to spring on mo?
Vou'ro about tho steenth follow that
haH tried that."
"Well, some people wouldn't tumblo
If a house fell on thorn," answered tho
Amateur Thespian, somewliut disgrunt
led at the failure of his attempt at
fncetlousness,
The Legal Light did not seom to no
tice this personal thrust, He seldom
did. Many an HiefTeettml attempt had
been inndo to squelch him. but they
never worked, It was either because
ho could not apply such things to him
self, or that he Ignored them purposely.
At any rate the Amnteur Thespian's
josh hnd not pleased him. So he be
gan again, "How do you think Hilly
Wilson It. going to hold tho position of
guard and eaptnln the tenm at tho
same tlmo?"
"Well, of course that alt depends on
Wilson," emtio the evasive reply. Tho
Amateur Thespian's thoughts wore far
from foot ball and he wriggled nerv
ously under the Legal Light's tirade of
questions. "You see, we can tell better
at tho close of the season," ho fiercely
continued, hoping that the Legal Light
would weary of his nonohalnnce. Hut
the Legal Light wns not built that way.
Ho wns thorougly enjoying himself now.
His old friends had n voided him all day
and as he noticed the near approach of
the hour of 4:30, he began ngnln with
another string of questions accompan
ied with long desertatlnus upon the
foo'bnll prospects In the east, and the
comparative abilities of Cowan and
Hllss. The Amateur Thespian wns re
galed with a review of all the games
for the Inst ten years between Harvard
and Yale, with the score of each, ac
curately Hinted. Ho knew he wns In for
It, so he Just kept still taking It all In.
The appearance of the football coach at
this juncture with a sweater thrown
over his shoulders released the Ama
teur Thespian from his misery. The Le
gal Light eagerly immured upon the
coach and the Amnteur Thosplnn wns
left to pursue his meditations In pence.
His cigar hid gone out and casting
about for means of a light (he had for
gotten to tnke n hnndful of matches
from the reMuurnnt this morning as
usual) his eyos fell upon tho figure of
the Hanjo Fiend. "Well, do tell," began
that worthy, sprawling himself out at
full longth after the desired mntch hnd
been produced. "Have you seen the
Hot Journ lately?"
The Amateur Thespian had to confess
his Ignorance of the whereabouts of
that hlgh-teniperatured personage.
"Well," continued the Hnnjo Fiend,
"he wanted me to subscribe. He ex
plained how 1r.Vi.s vn make $3 by the
operation, but It was too much mental
exertion for me to understand It nt nil,
so I had to tell him no. It's too bad a
fellow can't support everything, you
know, and we must draw tho lino some
where." ""
"Yes, that's a fact" The remain
der of his sentence wns cut short by a
sounding slap on tho back. Turning
around ho mot tho smiling countenance
of Kvorett Wrest.
"Half-dollar, please."
"Well, what's it Tor this time," quer
ied the Amateur Thespian and Hanjo
Fiend in chorus, both rencliing into
their pockets for the required coin.
"Well, the A. A. Is still a little in debt
nnd wo want to pay our share of that
cup if we over expect to get It." Ho
pocketed the coin with the same gra
cious smile. To himself ho thought,
"I'm getting ashamed of myself, strik
ing thoso same fellows over and over
again, but thon there is only one set of
fellows heio wliu are willing to stand
anything. I wish wo could Invent a
system tht would make thorn all dig
up."
As ho turnod to go, leaving tho two
friondb happily together, ho caught u
glimpse of tho Legal Light, conversing
witht tho Musical Genius. "It's funny
how he gets u ind In with those girls"
ho monta.iy conjocturod as he ap
proached and turned the Legal Light's
attention to hlmsolf, much to tho re
lief of the Mutiical Genius.
He had to stand It forty-llvo mlnutos,
but fifty cents more had boon added to
the fund and he wllllnglv suffered for
the noblo cause he was engaged In.
