The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by play no favorites; to be clammy to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be colligious; to leave more serious problems to water mastery; and to best the best of its ability within the bounds of the University.
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1922
K. U.'s idea of "firing up" a dislabeled building is to install metal ceilings and an indirect light system.
THE NEW LIBRARY'S LOCATION
Do Vakra didn't quit his post to go into the "movers." However, he has the world wondering what his next move will be.
During Christmas holidays officials of the University viewed the campus and chose for the definite location of K. U.'s new $250,000 library a site back of Snow Hall along the south crest of Mt. Oread. While little has been published that would tend to show what is thought permanently such a location, this question is being turned over in the minds of many students and faculty members, "Why have it thers?" On the other band, why not have it there?
Those who dislike the site, offer the following suggestions: 1. The library should be the most convenient place for the greatest number of students. There are three classes of students in regard to a library's convenience. First: Those who stop on their way between classes and their rooms. Second: Those who have come from class and are going back to class. Third: Those who come from their rooms and are going back to their rooms. To the first class, the location of the Library is immaterial so long as it is in line of travel. To the third class the location nearest the student district is most convenient. This third class is, by far a larger group than the second.
2. If the library were placed on the chosen site, it would necessitate the raiding of Snow Hall. Such a policy would be in direct violation of economical practice. It is said that Snow Hall will serve many years yet, and even though it does not conform with other buildings in style of architecture, to tear it down now would be an unnecessary waste.
3. To leave the old Spooner library building would leave a structure unfitted for any other use and to tear it down for no use would again be extravagant.
Such arguments all have their refutations however. From now on all buildings that are created on the campus will be in conformation with a delibitant plan. Landscape architects are working out a scheme whereby to unify and beautify the place as well as make it the most convenient possible. There is a chance perhaps that in years to come the student resident district will move further south. There are many things to consider.
If objection is to be raised concerning the location, now is the time to do it. No lines have been staked out. No stones have been held. If the students and the faculty do not like the place, and if they can prevail on the officials to change it, well enough. However, if they silently let it be built and then do not like it, they should have no word to offer. "I told you so," will be out of order.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Following publication of the item about the recent receipt of a letter addressed to Chancellor Snow, a number of the Journalism faculty offers "exhibit B." The mail of last Thursday brought him three postal cards from an advertising agent in Nigara Falls, New York. One was addressed to the "University Quarterly," on the "K. U. Weekly" and one to the "Editor, Courier-Review." All of these publications may properly be termed ancient. The Courier-Review died at least twenty-five years ago. The mystery is: Where did the advertising man dig up his mailing list?
WASTED TEARS OF SYMPATHY
It is not possible for him to secure many of those hours of recitation which means so much to the rest of curricular activity, no time in which to engage in extracurricular activities. Often, in ord x to prepare his studies for the next day he must burn the Tungsten past the midnight hours.
"There is something here about the man who works his way through school." many of these
"The man who works his way receives little of the campus guy that is the lot of his luckier classmates. He recives no hero worship, no mention as a campus idol or 'man about the college.'"—Wisconsin Cardinal.
Students who work their way through school should resent such a misguided expression of sentiment as this. Facts lead to a different conclusion.
Fiction writers have always pictured the poor student who carries his board by working at McGinnis' restaurant, his spending money by writing term themes for slothful lounge lizards and who, in the last chapter, has a complete breakdown of health and is forced to move to Colorado. He is shown as he tolls alone at midnight over his thesis, or when the snofbs refuse to speak to him. But perhaps the fiction writers never worked their way through college. It is possible that some of them were never in college at all.
some of them. But, as the above quotation shows, this note of sympathy for the poor working boy seems to run through the ranks of non-laboring students themselves. If one of the latter class should question a working student about his hard plight the answer might be surprising. He might find that his busy brother was enjoying life fairly well after all.
While it is a fact that the several hours spent each day at his work, added to his study hour and his class time, keep the working student quite steadily engaged, yet such a fellow finds himself rather fortunate in not being put to any questionable means for livelihood. It is no deniable fact that a constant round of car rides, tea dances, pool halls and even shows becomes monotonous. What pleasures the working man gets he appreciates.
As to participation in campus activities, let us not be deceived. A canvas of prominent students in the University of Kansas last year—class presidents, members of the student council, athletic team captains, memorial drive team captains—showed that the greater percent of them were self supporting or partly so. It is only the fellow with a big allowance who cannot find time to give some attention to his University's needs. He is too busy spending his money getting into and out of trouble for participation in such activities as those mentioned.
In class work the self supporting student rushes with his unemployed class mate. Business takes him up as readily when he gets through school. In fact, you couldn't pick him out in the bunch if you were to try. He is mixed up in everything worth while, he is a good student and he is fairly happy. As a matter of fact, the only difference between the student who works and the one who doesn't is that the latter has a much harder ass putting in the day.
The most persistent tradition at K. U.-Rockless driving on the campus.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The following was produced in Professor Flint's Advertising class as a trademark slogan about the University of Kansas: Mount Oread, the Bump of Knowledge.
Prof. John Ise, after assigning a long thesis said,
"Well, I'll not meet this class any more, regularly, but
I will met you at the Marathon." (Meaning finals.)
Bright student—"You mean Waterloo, don't you?"
When the last minute of the last hour of the last day after vacation came, she took a late train back to Lawrence. She was trying to get there after all the others. Rapturous in expectation of executing a sensational entrance, she grew impatient for her journey to end. Her devoted sister sisters would scream with delight when they saw her; would crowd and push to welcome her back; would smother her with embracés and carry her baggage for her to the remotest of the uppermost. She reached the house. Biflushly excited in anticipation of her dramatic homecoming, she opened the door and found——Dead——empty——ratty SILENCE, stare vacancy–hallow contemplations, and that THEESE WAS STILL A LATER TRAIN!
The faculty men of the State Manual Training Normal at Pittsburgh, Kan., were entertained by Dean Trent at a "Mulligan Stew" just before the holidays. The professors aid dignity aside for the evening and cooked, served, and ate the stew with much bidity.
