The Daily K晨 aims to picture the underdevelopment of children who are far more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas they express. To be clear, it is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to be kind; in all to serve to the best of its ability the need.

Now that the Supreme court holds women to be on an equal plane with men, what will the poor women do have always considered themselves set up on a pedestal?
CLEAN-UP WEEK
Next week is to be "Clean up" week. The governor of the state has proclaimed that in order that losses through careless fires started in piles of rubish and waste material may be leasened.
While the idea is not so applicable to the campus as far as fires are concerned, it is a splendid one to be carried out in other directions. If men must smoke—and it seems that they must—it would not be much more trouble to keep the empty cigarette package in their pockets until they can find a waste basket. Instead of that a crumpled ball which was once a cigarette package is thrown on the walks, the lawn, or the steps nearest the erstwhile smoker. Cigarette stubs form a trail along the sides of the walks everywhere.
As long as these things are true, why not hook up this campus problem with the proclamation of the governor and endeavor to keep the campus rid of so much waste material?
Papers torn into shreds and abandoned quok books also form an interesting addition to the landscape, when it would be just as easy to carry them off the hill. And during the elections—well, no matter who carries off the palm of victory—it is not to them that the spoils belong; those go unreservedly to the campus.
Men who resent women copying their mode of dress, would be delighted to see how they struggle with the four-in-hand.
ABOUT SAXAPHONES
It's about time the much-abuse saxophone had a rest.
Since the saxophone came into vague in this post-war period, it has been the source of innumerable jokes—most of them flat by jokers who were hard-put for material. Because it has become the symbol of jazz, the more name has become a synonym for insufferable noise. Yet, for all this, when properly manipulated the saxophone has about as much music in it as the older instruments which are alleged to be more dignified.
You selldom see a joke about a trombone, yet the trombone has all the bellow of a cow. Compared with that of the trombone, the music made by a saxophone is as the ripple of a sparking brook to the roar of a muddy, swollen river.
Give the axaphone a rest. Why not pick on the clarinet, the sound of which even drives its players insane in time?
A schoolmate says that he is already looking forward to the Intellectual Frontier Days, May 26 to 31—big five days for the general round-up of wild, academic ponies. He says he intends to "rose in a" few professors, "bog tie" several instructors and side home with the prize grades.
Only eight more shopping weeks until graduation.

STINGY INSTRUCTORS
This is the age of marvels—an age in which things deemed impossible one hundred years ago have come to pass—yet we still have at this institution some anachronistic instructors—some instructors who fail to keep abreast of the spirit of the times. Those who offend in this respect are those who, in spite of that is said now and has been said in the past, hold their classes too long after the whistle blows.
E. H. LINDLEY.
Every student and every professor knows that a class period is fifty minutes, yet there are those who think, apparently, that their particular subject is important enough for them to be excused for stretching that fifty minutes to fifty-four or more, thus making a student late to his next class or to his lunch.
Regardless of the importance or non-importance of any subject, no class should be held longer than fifty minutes. Otherwise the regular schedule is interfered with.
When a student is held late in one class, the chances are that he will be late in getting to the next one, and for this he is eligible to a bawling-out, which he generally gets. Thus the instructor who holds a class late is not only unfair to the class; he is unfair to the instructor of the next class.
The fifty-minute schedule was established for the benefit of both the student and the instructor, and it should be adhered to. The instructor who holds a class for more than a minute after the whistle blows is simply throwing a monkey-wrench into the machinery.
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.
WANTED—SOME SPELLERS
This is the season of the year when rural school pupils get out their spelling books and start earringing for the music concert. When the day arrives the teacher starts picking words from the speller, and the one who remains standing the longest is the winner.
No person is really educated unless he is able to spell. He may know his law, his engineering, his medicine or
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.
Even if jazz is dying, it will probably insist on playing its swan song on the sax.
WANTED—SOME SPELLERS
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?
whatnot, and be proficient in the chosen course, yet he is not educated unless he can spell. He may think it is unimportant—that ability to spell used he possessed only by writers—but there he errs.
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.
Some girls who boast that they follow all the sports mean that all the sports follow them.
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 bred.
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 on ad infinitum until he checks up short at the beginning of quizzes and wonders why it is be 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 we done can be accomplished.
It is the fifteen minutes you waste trying to decide whether to go to conversation or Brick's that makes the hour much too short to get anything done. It is the half-hour bridge game at lunch which you back on the hill at 2 o'clock instead of 1, and the hour waited between five and six which if utilized would do much to put you up in your work. In a word, it is drifting unimessless and endless 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 dovetail 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.
It is the few minutes wasted here and there that kill the day for you.
Now that the end of school is approaching and things begin to pile up, try this little system; stop being a time waster.
Jayhawks Flown
Fred Hess, B. S.' 10, says this League of Nations court scheme is only a conspiracy to get soft jobs for K. u. Haws such as G. A. Holiday, J. W. Baird, M. H. Brown and H. W. Humble, f14. When the K. u. Haws and engineers bury the hatchet there will be hope for harmony among nations, says the Gally Alumni of New York City. These men are all living in New York City.

On the Mountain Top
Climb the mountain—stand on the peak—and before you there unfolds a panorama extending as far as your eye can reach. Stay in the valley, and your view is restricted by the surrounding hills.
This newspaper—properly used—will guide you to the mountain top. Read it and your vision is enlarged. You get a bird's-eye view of world events. You glimpse the doing of the day.
Fail to use it, and your view is limited—you remain in ignorance not only of events at home and abroad, but of much that concerns you even more vitally—news of the very things that have to do with your personal, every-day life.
Some one might be selling a new, better and more economical food; or a utensil that would add immeasurably to your comfort and well-being; or some better material for shoes or clothing—but you would never know, because of your restricted view.
You may read every line of the news columns, but if you overlook the advertising, you are still living in the valley. You remain uninformed about many things you ought to know in order to live a happy, useful, profitable life in this age of progress.
