Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones. K. U. 20 and 46
The Daily Kanman aims to picture the understudies in a way that goes farther than simply推销 the news by standing for the ideas they have learned. The students are to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to be more serious problems to wiser hands; in more serious problems to wiser hands; in the ability of the students of the University.

WHY NOT FACULTY TOO?
Commencement is the day on which the University confers degrees upon its graduates or candidates for graduation. This is the technical definition, but time has brought another element into commencement which has come to be almost as important; the returning of alumni and friends of the University to live again the old scenes of their college days. Commencement day is a day of especial import.
The spirit of dignity and formality in commencement has come down through the centuries as an institution in itself. It is a good thing to end the four years university work with a little poetry and ostentation, for it makes memories sweeter and alumni bonds stronger in years that nause. Then why is it that at the University of Kansas only the graduating students take part in the ceremonies? Why is it that the members of the faculty find no place in the line of capped and gowned seniors but file into the auditorium dressed as for the class room?
WOMEN IN KU KLUX KLAN
Caps, gowns and the many colored hoods and tassels worn by the faculty would add to the prestige and dignity of commencement and would make closer the ties between members of the faculty and the graduating class.
Woman rejoiced. Her emancipation was complete. Was she not making her way into the political and commercial field so long monopolized by man?
A century ago woman began to beatir herself over the inequalities of her station in life and that of man. The movement spread; the strictrica became more insistent; and finally she was granted the privilege of the franchise and almost complete economic freedom.
Time passed. Conditions changed.
She saw man going ahead, while she stood still. Again her sense of justice asserted itself. Now so she has taken one more step to perfect equality.
She has downed the mask and hood of the Klansman, and has joined her sisters to march through hushed streets by the light of flickering torches, to inspire fear and awe in the hearts of the onlookers.
Verily, we live in the age of wo men's rights!
THAT NEW BOOK SHELF
On the first floor of Spooner library on a shelf above the card index is the new-book shelf. On that shelf are placed the new acquisitions to the library, whether they deal with politics, literature, art, religion, or language. Keep an eye on it. Drop in often and look over the new books.
You can keep in touch with some of the modern trend in thought, and the browsing in looks just off the press is really worth while. You do not need to read them all. Glance through them. Get an idea what they are about and select passages that interest you. There are several volumes of brexey personal essays there that provide a pleasant way to spend some idle time between classes—if you have any idle time this season of the year.
WE ALL MAKE 'EM
The Kansan if often criticized—and justly, sometimes—because some of the names which appear in its columns are misspelled. Yet the Kansan is not alone. The Chancellor's announcement to instructors telling that President Storry of the Santa Fe would speak at an all-University convention Thursday spelled Mr. Storry's name S-to-ey instead of S-to-o-ey. Which doesn't mean much, of course, but merely shows that Kansan reporters are not alone in misspelling names.
Can these long distance dancers be aid to express the youth movement d today?
CAMPUS SMOKING
Some time ago Chancellor Lindley requested that University men refrain from smoking on the steps of University buildings. For a time his request was honored. Now the steps of most of the campus hills are feeted with young men who puff the weed and flow the smoke nonchalantly in the faces of those who are fighting to get past them.
If smoking is to be permitted on the campus at all, the adjectives of tobacco should have the good grace to refrain from indulging on the step of buildings. And by all means, they should not stop to light their cigarettes in the halls as is sometimes done. Tobacco users should consider this warning as given for their own good. If tobacco on the campus continues to be abused, some puritical administration may undertake to prohibit it entirely.
A professor in the School of Fine Arts says that only the "jokes" of Mondesheim's compositions remain as important to wedding marches is still going strong.
TEACHERS FROM K. U.
Representatives of Kansas schools are coming to Mt. Oread this spring to confer with K. U. students who intend to teach. The preparation of young men and women to enter the teaching profession has long been one of the functions of the college course, but in a large university like K. U. preparation for teaching is not one of the major aims of the institution.
Other state institutions are organized with that purpose constantly before their organizers. Normal training work is the core of the curriculum. Around it the rest of the courses revolve. Only to a very limited extent is the student able to take courses which are not hooked up with the primal purpose of the institutions- teacher training.
School boards who secure teachers from the larger universities are making judicious choices. The young men and women who have been able to secure the advantages, cultural and scholastic, that are offered by the many sided life of a university bring to the classroom a much broader training than does the young man or woman who has specialized upon pedagogic work to the detention of the other aspects of a well rounded education. The intensive work of the normal training institutions secures results, but the broader education together with a sufficient amount of study in the field of educational work has its distinct advantages.
Do not throw anything; it will not be accepted. Be careful not to destroy the local color, particularly in the case of hutter. Avoid melancholy offerings and do not put grease on the breaks.

The "eat houses" about Mt. Orca are very courteous to their patrons. They have invented a new name for a sandwich that in its long existence has become very common and is known to be the cheapest on the market. If a student should now enter one of these eat houses he would have to be prepared to fist punch the potseller "hamburger," and f shouted out to the cook would cause a snicker to go about the room. But when the waiter shouts out "society sandwich" everything is well and everyone looks up to see who the society bird can be.
A professor informed his class the other day that we are living in the grapefruit stage. A stude in the back of the room wished to know if the hamburger stage and grapefruit stage did not overlap just a little. And also, if lemons were included in this age of human development.
After seeing him we agree.
We were informed of a bad mistake in this column of a preceding issue. We had written the line: "What is so rare as good grades in June?" We were told that this was not dune. But no one said it was, and we pretend to insult: that good grades in May were handed out by bushels.
A professor tells us that one can have culture without education and also education with culture. And, because education is successively, education without culture.
The excavating by steam shovel south of Snow hall is not the only such work that is taking place on the hill. The canine species are carrying on violent excavating under the stone walk east of the Journalism building. Several shifts have been on the job, but we have received no information until just when the new workmen will have more success in their blasting, for they will have excavated from under the layer of rock and will be able to raise the rock in one blast.
Spring Study
No.143
(A as the tree verser would have to
Soak a spring air.
A night stirrer jeweled
Two quizzes tomorrow
Obnoxious things! Why do professors
Give them so continually?
From down in the town
The blunt music
Of a merry-go-round
Drifts in the open window,
Economic musings become lost
the way of the carnival "barker."
Thoughts drift to a thousand things
Touching not once on study.
I grow drowsy.

Leaving the morrow to take care of itself
And economics to the economists.
Dum Danny held a wreath of artichokes upon the stone south of the museum yesterday and said after that he thought it was a monument.
Why do they call that counter in Fraser the check stand? Maybe it is a truthful name, though, for every witness, and a check is written by the vitsea.
Small Boy—Mamma, who is that man over there? Haven't he any hat? Observing Mother—Sh-h-h-1 That is a college professor who has not met the teacher that he can be bothered with such an un-requisite thing as a hat.
W. B. Storey said that some people blamed the condition of the railroads on the evils of our forefathers. There is a new angle, studies, at which to approach Ma and Pa when you return home at the end of the semester, not being able to come back to K. U. next year.
The fifteenth birthday of the college of education—the first permanent department of education to be found in an American university—will be the means of attracting to Iowa City next week many of the elites in educational circles throughout the United States.

THIS is written to the man who loves to seek the unknown quantity. He is the kind of laboratory worker who ventures into untreated fields of experiment, rather than the man who tests materials.
Industry has need of both types, but of the former there is a more pressing demand.
College men may have been discouraged from pursuing pure research. In this highly practical age it may seem there is little room for work which does not have an immediate dollars and cents application. But such is not the case.
The pure research man is the pathinder. With out him our fountain of knowledge would dry up. His findings in themselves may be uncommercial, but they establish a field for others to develop.
Volta worked out the crude voltage pile - umi-
mport until other men improved and applied it.
And so with Papin in the field of steam, or
Lavoisier in chemistry.
Men of the inquiring slant of mind, stick to your last. In post graduate study, on the faculty, in the laboratory of some industrial organization, there will always be an "X" to baffle other men and call for the keenest thought of you blazers of the trail.
