The Daily Kamaa aims to picture the lives of students in the University of Kansas and its former home, the for-the-future Kappa fraternity. For the four favorite university hubs, they are the University of holdings; to be clean, to be cheerful to be careful, to be serious about more serious problems to water holes; to have more serious problems to water holes; to be able to the students of the University.

"AIN'T IT A GRAND —the headline, "Lived Here Three Years."
There are just two great events during the school year. Christmas vacation is one, and the inter-seasonal vacation is the other. The first is long, but not so enjoyable; one has the feeling of impending tragedy, due to the quizzes that are yet to come.
But when the last final is over—then comes the reaction that blows the lid off of conventionality. Text books, assignments, notes, study, and worries are relegated to the far-distant past, and telephone directories and date books take their place. Lessons have sunk to the furthest corner of one's cerebellum, and quizzes are supplanted by frivolity. One dashes madly about in his car, or a rent-a-ford, and takes Her for a gamble with chance on the fort-to-fort.
Profs sleep for twenty-four hours, and appear once more with the smile that they buried two weeks before. Janitors hail off tons of quiz books to the paper mill, and appear, grinning, with their bi-annual cigar. Phil Beta Kappas have dates with vadevela girls, and all the students rush letters home for pecuniary reinforcements.
"GIMME ROOM"
On the whole, we feel downrigh kittenish.
A state university is, in many ways,
a most interesting cosmopolitan institution.
Men and women of all races,
nationalities, financial status, and
social positions jostle chows not only
figuratively but literally.
The plumber's son may push through a doorway opened by the mayor's daughter by the simple expedition of physical force, and the mayor's daughter, in turn, may with a group of her friends succeed in forcing a faculty member off the sidewalk by the same primitive method.
The most battered stripped-down Ford on the Hill may, if driven to the full extent of its capacity, splatter mud just as far and just as effectively as the new Rolls-Royce.
Students going east cast between classes unite, with utter disregard of social distinctions, to push the throng going west into the mud beside the wall; while the people going west meet the challenge with delightful promptness and return shove for shove and elbow jab for elbow jab.
Yes, a state university is a charming example of American democracy—and rudeness.
FADS
Fadists are sc所 soft at, yet, after all, they are of a lot more use in the world than colorless individuals who never seem visually interested in anything, and cultivate a blased and bored attitude toward life and people in general.
To take an interest in something, even if it is a fad, lends an added interest and zest to life. Then too, some of the biggest achievements in life began as fads. Columbus was a most troublesome faddish. Inventors and scientists are, or were, faddiants. And thousands of great or near-great are in the list which is not dimmed in losse by the fact that not every name composing it is written in the hall of fame.
A Kansas City paper has discovered a new method to distinction. It prints
Noting that Ten Pot Dome is located in Wyoming, we remember that state has always been the stamping grounds of our greatest outlaws.
There's Old John Silver, Cap 'kid Nip,
Jesse James and Albert B. Fall—all that the youth of America have read about.
Since this oil done afair, the gang has been lookin' for the fellar who said this crime wave was back-boned by the youth under twenty-one.
Satan finds textbooks for idle hands to write.
"It's a long corridor that has no end," said the absent-minded professor as he paddled patiently 'round and 'round the revolving door.
Yes, Sodaphene, of course the mat department is in the Ad building.
"Bent a Path to Topeka," says a headline. Someone up there must be making better mouse-traps.
The meanest man is the student who bums a dollar from a hard-working barber to buy a safety-rat with.
Wonder if the room of the rah-rah boy at Colgate is decorated with toothbrushes?

Clouds that were tattered and gray,

Gold and smoky opal
Hills that were purple as twilight came,
Murpure, the fire in her mind,
Turpurea and flushing anemone.
And her dream of dreams had begun.
Glorious was the mad sun,
Rushing along its glad way —
Gold and royal purple.
Crimson hills that in silence lay;
Heaven that were vividly blue;
The lush plains that kept sweeping dew
And her knight-gallant had come.
Clouds that were heavy and gray;
Sammed was the storm—Gold's frown —
Gold and burning copper —
Pearful the rays of the sun stole down,
Vailed the earth with a shrinking of night.
And the shattering of dreams had begun.

Fleeing, the worm run
Sank in a molten blaze—
Gold and crystal stone
Wrigg was the earth in a pearly hue,
Wrigg was the earth in a pearly hue;
Stars in the shining heavens diving;
The Angel of Death had come.

Campus Opinion
Editor Kansan:
HOW DO THEY GET THAT WAY?
Cavorting about the campus, in all the naïve of souchié dappermess, go a number of milk-fed mama's boys, hattles, attired in the loudest of golf裹, golf裹,滑雪, easy-ego-piplies, and muntaches so small as to be obviously unless for straining eaile, which is often, or any of the real other uses which call the maus tache into being.
K. U. people will be interested in the following resolution adopted by the Kansas Tax Payers' League in 2013 that would resolve that we condemn the practice o exempting from taxation the property of college fraternities and sororities, and demand of our university a law that will correct this evil.
A bill to tax these houses passed the lover house of the legislature last session by a vote of 78 to 33. It never came to a vote in the upper house, because, it is charged, of the influence of several members of that legislature. Instead, a new legislature is to be chosen. It was contended that these houses are private club houses and not educational institutions. The houses at K. U. and other schools in the state are said to be valued at about a half million dollars and if taxed would bring in a revenue of seven thousand dollars. Those interested school districts must be a Member of the Tax Payers' League and Kansas House of Representatives.
What's the big idea? Do they hope to oversee the country boys with an appearance of immense wealth, familiarity with the games of the elite, and intimacy with the fashion plate? If they do, they are due for a shock when they see one of these country boys' bank books, indulge in country

They surely can't expect it to be believed that they have just been "guffing" in these days of three and four inch snows, and if they're merely "stratting the stuff" of last summer, why wouldn't it be pretty chic for some of the plebeians to mount the hill arrayed in slit-overdens, cockleck old-busters, blue denim shirt, with just a hint of carelessness in the half-disclosed shirt-tail, and straw hat, touched off by dashes of grease, and here and there the delicate tints of yolks of eggs that figured largely in a struggle for breakfast in a cook shack.
Nor can they flash such apparel on the Hill, thinking to give the impression that they are well-bred, and
of high social standing for true etiquette calls for attire in accord with surroundings, giving no hint of snobiness. The dress code classes atticed in a night shirt or evening dress, as to come in clothes intended for wear on the golf links.
