Editor The Missourian: Many uni

stunt night Each organization in the

;iven so many minutes to stage its
stunt" A prize is often offered to
the best and most humorous take off. +"
The auditoriums of these universi-
ties are always crowded on these
nights Those who take part in the
stunts get stage training, and the
others are guaranteed a night of
"side-splitting" amusement.

COLUMBIA SKETCHES

Grace had been to the Farmers
Fair. The fact that she had been al
lowed to carry the tickets and give
them to the doorkeepers had swelled
her self-importance to the danger
mark and had helped to make it a
great day for little girl. On her way
home her chubby fist still grasped a
few one-cent tickets. which she put
into use the next day when the neigh
bOrhoOd played Fair.
Sunday came. and with a goodbye
kiss and the usual penny Grace was
started to Sunday School. Her
thoughts were still on the fair. how
ever. and she jealOusly guarded her
tickets by keeping them with her But
somewhere along the road the demon
of high finance got to work, and by the
time the collection was taken up
Grace had her plans all made. They
were simple. The penny staid safely
tucked away in her pocket, while the
ticket was put into the envelope with
a due amount of piety.

Fair Play.

Editor the Missourian: 1t has been
decreeed by the nature of things that
the University faculty serve as the
butt of student jokes. The bald-head-
that his hairless head must serve the
University wit as peg whereon he
may hang his pleasantries. The man
who wears a Van Dyke beard becomes
accustomed to being called up at 2
o'clock in the morning by some youth,
bubbling over with youthful spirit,
who wants to be Greeted to the near
est barber shop. He does not even
Inch when another calls him up to
borrow his lawn mower.
In fact the members of the Uni
versity faculty are what is termed in
student slang, good sports" They
laugh as heartily as students when
they see their idiosyncrasies carrica-
tured in student stunts.
Now in the spirit of fair play, does
t not seem that the student should
ard against any misrepresentation
of facts when applied to faculty men,
bers? We have all heard the grew
some tale about the wagon loads of
jugs that inhabit the basement of each
faculty member The person who saw
the jugs can never be found, yet
they" say they are there Again, to
hear students tell the story, every
man on the University faculty has
been called by the express Office and
told to come for his books because
they are leaking. Just now story is
going the round of the student body

home from the basketball game Oc-

COLUMBIA'S PLAYGROUND.

Have you noticed the new spring
dress of Rollins Field? 1t is soft green
interlaced with broad white paths.
The high granitoid walls make an ex-
cellent border for the green dress.
Rollins Field is the playground of
the University and it is most fitting
that it should be well dressed. The
very dress gives one an inspiration to
play. Most play grounds are dressed
in cinders. At their worst they are
dressed in granitoid. Rarely does one
see them dressed in green grass.
The playing persons of Columbia
take every advantage of the play
ground. The men students of the Uni
rersity swarm to the place in early
morning and evening to play tennis.
Baseball teams battle in the hot sun

GOLD AND HUMAN LIFE.

A Columbia man handed st. Louis
cafe keeper a s. gold piece few days
ago in payment of breakfast. The
cashier carefully wrapped it in piece
of paper, saying that he got so few of
them that he was careful to preserve
them.
This is a strange paradOX-some-
thing so valuable that it cannot be
used. 1t is good for all debts. Every
body wants it, yet nobody wants it.
There is too great risk in handling it.
The analogy applies to human life.
We like life imprisoned by the touch
and contamination of cheaper" lives,
yet such a life becomes to valuable to
be used. 1t is gold-unmixed with
cheaper alloy to harden it. 1t does not
know people. 1t cannot touch, lift
and regenerate their lives.
1t is like John ID. Rockefeller, Jr.,
who wishes to sympathize with the
Colorado suffering miners but who
could scarce understand their deplor-
able misery.
Ramona Robins was right in laud-
ing the mediocre 1t is blessing for
most of US that we are Just human
We need the mixture of the fine gold
to make US shine at our best, but the
fixed us up about right when
he made us-so many of us like so
many of the rest of us.

The Open Column
Protect Street Lights.

Editor the Missourian:-I notice a
number of Columbia's street lights
are broken by the missiles of small
boys, or other people. The tempta-
tion to break things always has been
great and it probably always will be
as strong. A very simple way to save
the city the expense of new light
globes and the tax payers the annoy
ance of darkened streets is to guard
the lights with a wire protector. Such
a device is not expensive and it elimi-
mates the desire to break the street
lights from the minds of the younger

JOURNALISM WEEK.

Journalism Week at the University
OF Missouri this year will be more
comprehensive than ever before. A
wider scope of interests is gathered in
the five-day program than was possi-
BILE in the other years since the insti-
tuition had its beginning in universi-
ties in the spring of 1910.
An increased representation of the
advertising and business side of Jour-
nalism will be had this year, not only
in the number and prominence of
speakers but in attendance The ad-
vertising clubs of the state will meet
to organize the Associated Advertising
Clubs of Missouri. Speakers, too. will
talk of the business of publishing.
Church journalism for the first time
will be represented, with some of its
most conspicuous editors. The field
of the magazine and special writer will
receive greater attention this year. A
call has been issued for the formation
of a Writer'S Guild of Missouri. What
the women may do in journalism will
be told by an increasing number of
those who have succeeded in the work.
Even the movies" have found a place
on the program. Nor have new phases
of country newspaper work been over
looked.
And there are other features of the
week. 1t has been called a made-in-
Missouri program-Champ Clark and
other Missourians are coming back to
.alk and to eat the made-in-M Missouri
banquet-but other states have been
called upon. too. The program seems
representative of the widening field of
journalism, one that should accom-
plish more than ever the purpose of
the annual event, the bringing to-
gether of journalists from Missouri
and other states for helpful inter
change of opinion.

WHEN FLOWERS ARE WEEDS.

The first flowers of spring have ever
been welcome. The modest little dan
delion, only now they say it is not
modest. has always brought joy to
children in their first rare excursions
in the grass. 1t was Lowell who said:
Dear common flower, that grow'st be-
side the way
Fringing the dusty road with harm
less gold,
First pledge of blithesome May.
Which children pluck, and, full of
pride. uphold,
High-hearted buccaneers, DER joyed
that they
An Ell Dorado in the grass have
Which not the rich earth's ample
May match in wealth-thou art more
dear to me
Than all the prouder summer blooms
may be-"
But the dandelion, it seems, is not
always welcome where people like
their bluegrass lawns. They say it is
not an Ell Dorado in the grass, and cities
are waging warfare against the little
flower that gives to the green of spring
its first touch of yellow. So We must
throw away sentiment with the fight
ers and see wherein the dandelion has
wandered from its way
Someone has said when a flower
gets out of its place it becomes weed.
1t was all right until the dandelion
began to crowd out the grass on the
lawns; then people began to quit call
ing it modest and began to say it was
hog. But the dandelion didn't mind
bit, and, being headstrong, went
right on fighting the bluegrass. So
now it seems we must intercede to
stop its inroads.
