The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate of the University of Wisconsin as a gooner than him. The news in the news by standing for the Ideas Initiative is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to be more serious problems to water hands; in more serious problems to its ability the students of the University.

WHAT K. U. OFFERS
Nearly every boy or girl today looks forward to securing the advantages of higher education. No longer does the high school provide young people with all of the education which it takes to succeed in the world. The college degree does not inure success, but the competition is becoming so keen that the young man or woman with only the high school education is at a distinct disadvantage in competing with the graduates of universities and colleges.
In choosing the institution at which one is to secure his higher training, everyone owes it to himself to choose carefully and uoliduttt carefully and judiciously. The merits of the institution should be carefully investigated.
The University of Kansas offers competent and inspiring teachers, and well equipped laboratories, libraries, and workshops. It maintains a good standard of scholarship. Its technical and research work have received high prizes from governmental examiners and business experts.
Its students are earnest, able hopeful young men and women who come from every part of the state and from neighboring states. Its graduates in every line of business and in the professions everywhere are a paramount force in the life of the state.
We are told that poets believe in America—they ought to. America furnishes them with a living.
THE RELAYS
The wide-spread effect of the Kansas Relays is yet to be estimated in the annals of college history. Yet even as we see the event without the perspective of the years we can glimpse its importance and thrill at its significance.
More than a more athletic contest—although that is in itself an evidence of the highest development of physical man—more than that, it is a step forward for Kansas. Kansas has always been a leader in new fields and has always been among the first to see through the veil of the present into the future of great things. So her university has been able to see the significance of a mid-western Relay Context and its effect upon schools west of the Mississippi.
The Kansas Relays! Isn't that a name to make every Jayhawker's chest swell with pride? The geographical location in the center of the United States makes the University of Kansas the logical place for such an event. The enterprise and loyalty of the school and the co-operation of the athletic office and authorities make possible the institution of this thing which has placed Kansas along with Pennsylvania and Illinois in such an enviable place among universities of the whole country.
In addition to these technical skills, the very "peep" and bigness of the thing, the enthusiasm which can put across in the middle West a thing hitherto confined only to the more sport-loving eastern colleges, the idea of bringing to our threshold the nation's athletic heroes—the whole thing is the biggest event of its kind ever held in the University of Kanaas. It is up to the students to show that they realize its significance.
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES
HIGH SCHOOL DEBATES
When father and mother were young they regularly attended the literary society at the schoolhouse and some of their fondest memories are connected with it. At the debates there the whole neighborhood attended and some of the knottiest questions were tackled. A question that was always good for an evening of argument was: "Resolved: That fire is more destructive than water."
Literary societies and clubs still exist in the schools, but the core of their activities is not usually debating.
Now high schools have taken up debating as a school activity. Debating is organized through the state so that they may compete for the state championship. The championship in debate is now coveted nearly as much as championship in the field of sports.
High school debating offers an opportunity for many to represent their school colors who are unable to do so on the gridiron or on the basketball court. It is as free to women as to men.
The organization of the high schoo
debate on a state basis is one way in which the spirit of competition in scholarship and mental attainments is following the same organization as in the field of sports.
TIME WASTED
In the university there are men and women who make grades of A and B in practically all their subjects who at the same time have time to participate in many of the school activities and make for themselves names as loyal members of the University. Some of them even make part of their living expenses on the side. In this same University there are those who cannot keep up with their work, who never were known to be in a college activity and who would be aghast at the idea of having time to make a part of their living.
The difference between these two types is in their methods of organization. Those people who manage to get things done do so because they utilize their time to its best advantage instead of wasting a few minutes here and there with the idea that a few minutes won't make any difference anyway. And it is in that way of thinking that the time waster type of University student is breed.
Instead of making a list of the things which must be done daily, appointing a certain time at which to do them, and doing them at that time, the time-waster thinks "I'll do it over the week-end." and then when the week-end comes puts it off until the first of the week and so on an infinitum until he checks up short at the beginning of quizzes and wonders why it is he fears he can't get through the course. A regular system outlined, and held to, will do more to save time and mental energy than any other one thing. The very idea that a certain amount of work must be done in order to make way for another piece, will spur the average student on to finish on schedule time. In this way all the work laid out to be done can be accomplished.
It is the few minutes wasted here and there that kill the day for you. It is the fifteen minutes you waste trying to decide whether to go to convocation or Brick's that makes the
Such contests are all right and are very popular in rural school circles, but why limit them to rural schools? Any one who has had much to do with papers written by K. U. students will tell you without hesitation that if one thing is really needed by these students, that one thing is ability to spell.
It would seem that a person would be able to spell simple words at least by time he fought his way through the grades and four years of high school, and finally arrived at a university. Yet the sad fact remains that many of them are not able to spell comparatively easy words.
This is the season of the year when rural school pupils get out their spelling books and start cramming for the great contest—the annual spelling bee. When the day arrives the teacher starts picking words from the speller, and the one who remains standing the longest is the winner.

1. To awaken the student to the problems of the personal and civic life of his own day.
3. Since the college course is to be regarded not as the end but as almost the beginning of a lifelong process or orientation in the world of men and ideas, to equip the student with such tools, in mastery of his native tongue, and in serviceable acquaintance with other tongues, and to cultivate in him such tastes for literature and the other arts, as shall make his citizenship in the world both effective and profitable.
2. To develop in him, with relation to these problems, something both of the historical sense and of the scientific spirit; an understanding of the origins of present conditions, and a spirit of fearless, disinterested, critical thought in analysis of these conditions.
4. To give training in some specific field, that the student may become immediately useful to society.
The College course should be directed to the following ends :

GRADUATE SCHOOL:
hour much too short to get anything done. It is the half-hour bridge game at lunch which puts you back on the hill at 2 o'clock instead of 1, and the hour wasted between five and six which if utilized would do much to put you up in your work. In a word, it is drifting aimlessness and careless organization which makes the day seem too short to get all you have to do done. If you could organize what you have to do, make a regular schedule and hold to it, allowing time for play as well as study, and make your head save your feet as far as your hill meetings and activities are concerned—if you can do all these things, you will find your college activities and studies doweilt very nicely together. You will discover that a twenty-four hour day is ample time to get all done you have laid out to do and will even leave some time in which to sleep.
Banquet in honor of Dean Stouffer will be held at 6:30 Saturday evening in the Presbyterian Church parlor. Faculty members interested in the School and present and prospective graduate students are urged to come by calling by made calling C. T, EJevie, C. U, T1, or Morgan rechauk S. K, U, 34.
SHERWIN F. KELLY, President.
No person is really educated unless he is able to spell. He may know his law, his engineering, his medicine or whatnot, and be proficient in his chosen course, yet he is not educated unless he can spell. He may think it is unimportant—that ability to spell need be possessed only by writers—but there he errs.
Suppose you were the head of any large concern, and in your mail one morning you received letters from two university graduates, asking you for a position. Suppose one letter was well-written, with correct spelling; the other poorly written with many misspelled words. You would think more highly of the first letter, would you not?
A little care is all that is needed to make a good speller. Know your words; don't take them for granted. If you don't know the word you want to use, look it up in the dictionary. It doesn't take long and it will pay you.

Mrs. Colman, who was then Flora May Richardson, came to Lawrence from Galesburg III, and entered the University as a junior. At that time only one building served for class room in the New York College which stood on the site where the new women's dormitory is being erected.
"Fraser hall was finished on the outside that year," said Mrs. Coman, speaking of her early school days, "but it was not ready for use until 1920. In the same year she used the little building back of Fraser hall, a building that has been used for every department in the University. When one department outgrew it another was put in there." The building was destroyed by the department of journalism.
The University of Missouri decided to retain its honor system by a vote of 642 to 270.

"North College had only two stories, but we thought it was a grand place," continued Mrs. Colman. "Anyway, we had many good times there. There were four in my class, three men and myself. Our examinations were all in two parts—half written and half oral. All our friends and relatives came to hear the oral ones and did not hear caps and hats for graduation from the graduation dresses for the various exercises as my grandchildren nave now for graduation from the high school."
Mrs. Colman is a charter member of Pi Beta Phi whose charter was granted in 1873. It was largely through the efforts of Mrs. Colman's sister, Sarah Richardson, who was a Pi Beta Phi at Lombard University, that organization became a national organization five fifty years ago.
"When I received my A. M. in 1873 we had a very more eager choice of subjects compared to what the Uni verity offers now. There was a classical, a scientific, and an optional course," said Mrs. Colman.
In 1875 Flora Richardson became Mrs. Osgood A. Colman. She has
lived in Lawrence ever since. She was 72 years old last February, but still place on attending many more exercise programs of her Alma Mater.

Jay E. House: "I didn't suppose even a Jawhacker could produce such poetry. I have never read anything like it anywhere."
Jayhawks flew from everywhere to the Aldine Club, Fifth Avenue Building, New York City, recently, to attend a special event hosted by the K. U. alumium of New York. And for this evening the Aldine Club took on an atmosphere not at all that of New York City. It was lifted from downtown down upon the banks of the Kaw.
Election of officers was also held and the following were elected, Harold Hudson, chairman; S. Motizer, vice chairman; R. Morgan Ryan, secretary and M. H. Price, treasurer. Repre­ pends for the day. Follows: senior, Paul Kent; junior, W. B. Sarrion, sophomore, Walter Rising and F. Wright.
Annual K. U. Alvmni Dinner Breaksout Againin New York; Famed'Gaily Kansan' Appears
Flora Finch Kelly: "Spring Poetry. It's more than Spring Poetry. It's Spring Poetry."
The columns of the Daily Kansan are not free from ads. Many clever ads were prepared originally by the Ethridge Artists as burlesque mail-order advertisement for their house organ. And in a predominate part of the book, the artist versed entitled "Spring Poetry" which contained the following:
"I, is for Lawrence, the home of K. U., famed for its sleepiness, loneliness, too—standing beside the dastest river that ever you saw."
"U means unified as all were last fall sailed up to West Point to see the football team give the old Army the scare of the year; so come again, boys; there's a warm welcome here."
Donorchy Canfield Fisher, an author of note, was one of the speakers at the dinner. She is the daughter of Uncle Jimmy Canfield, former professor of the University. Vernon L. Kellogg, A. B., M. A. *92*. Washington, D. C., in accepting the invitation to talk at the dinner, said, "I am so grateful to Moscow via Washington." I anticipate an enjoyable evening with the Kansans and shall certainly present, even though I'll have to leave world affairs run along by themselves to do it."
