The Daily Klaus aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for a longer than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the authors write; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be humble; to be serious problems to wiser heads; in all to make them aware of the students of the University.

COMMITTEE MEETINGS
Setting aside one hour each week for a conversation is an excellent idea, and will do much to help secure cooperation among the student body, provided these convocations can always be made attractive by securing good speakers or other entertainment. But no one believes that it will be possible to do this, so the convocations are to be regular every week affairs only so far as possible.
The University of Minnesota has the same system of weekly conventions, held as regularly as possible. On days when convocations are to be hold and there is none, for any cause, the time is given over to the students for committee meetings. This plan has worked out very well for all concerned.$^2$
There are at the University a large number of organizations and committees. All these accomplish some purpose, or they would not continue in existence, but many have a precarious life because members will not attend meetings. By holding meetings on the Hill in a centrally located place at the time most of the students are free, larger attendance could be secured and more accomplished by the organizations.
If all the members are on time, the business of most meetings could be transacted in twenty minutes, and it would be possible to hold two in an hour. Such organizations are recognized by the University of Minnesota as a part of the institutions work, and equal recognition by setting apart of meeting time and meeting places would be exceedingly helpful here.
"LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE"
With the foliage assuming a more and more reddish-brown tinge, and with the north winds becoming extremely noticeable as an indication of approaching winter, another symptom easily recognized is the great amount of business which photographers are enjoying.
Both group and individual pictures for the Jayhawk new are being taken, and every day sees some poor student seeking anxiously for that round-cornered collar he wore last year when he "got mapped." Every day sees this student with other young men otherwise perfectly normal, enjoying witktims of a past generation concerning "breaking the camera," "pinning the ears down," and "see the birds."
It is a strange thing that a person is self-conscious when he is being photographed, but few people ever outgrow their fascination for the camera. Even theatrical stars and public personas never entirely find the lure of the lens departed.
However, it might insure more ease in the studio if the subjects were allowed to dress and pose more com-
or certainly. The deadly stiff with its accompanying torture, should be relegated to a distant past. Then, too, standing with hands in the pockets ought to be allowed, or, if sitting, hands should be permitted to room carelessly, instead of being placed in one position.
ARE VOTES LOST?
There is a popular fallacy that a vote for a losing candidate is a loat vote. Many voters choose a man "with a chance" rather than use their votes as an expression of their beliefs. Excepting this class, who are always for the winner, an election is the only accurate verdict of that most high court, public opinion. When a man cuts away booth, a true expression of self is the result. The conspicuous citizen holds the right of fraternity sacred for this reason.
If a faction poll's a large enough vote and shows its ideals are favored by a general run of people, it will have its influence on the victors. The supposedly last vote is not in reality lost. It has its influence on the affairs of man and often it wins although by a roundabout method. If we would appeal a moral to this it would read, "Vote as you believe."
STAY OFF THE WALK
Everyone has found himself in some time or another sauntering idly along on the campus, lost in hay day dreams and figuratively a million miles away. It is a comfortable feeling, but one awakens with a rude joke when, with a s-swish and a rush of wind a small boy sweeps by on a bicycle along the edge of the sidewalk, allowing only a bare fraction on each side for his path.
No small boy, or one not so small, has ever been heard or known to give a warning signal before shooting around the pedestrian like a young meter. The rubber-needed effect of his tires allows him to slip upon the unsuspecting saunterer and then dash madly into his search of new strollers to startle.
But these same boys preserve a great deal of respect toward the walks in the municipality of Lawerence, for "corns" have been known to nab offenders and bring them up before a police judge. However, there is no rule known to foot-passenger or bicycle whereby these young Mercuries can be kept from flitting about on the campus. No information is available of anyone every being injured by being slipped up on and horribly mangled by a bicycle just as he started toward the other side of the walk, but it's very disconcerting just the same to have one's private day-dreams thus rudely jolted. And there are, or soon will be, roads Indians all over the campus.
A NEW BOOK
Harry Kemp who calls K. U. his alma mater, has written a new book, published recently by Brentansas New York. Verse it is, and verse with a swing. Verse of the sea and of the highway, collected by the eccentric poet during his long years of wandering. "Chanteys and Ballads" is the name of the new book.
Wanderist is the motif of Kemp's volume. Whether on the dusty road, half-frozen in a box-car, or on a stormy sea, the impulse to move on its wander, seems to actuate the writer. But his spirit has remained pure and his ideals high. And all the poetry is written in a powerful, smooth-flowing style sure to be the delight of every reader.
Mr. Kemp valued more his experiences "on the road" than his college days, for he says in his introduction: "Rolling freights, jails, vermin, ships at sea, rough fo'ele companionships—I am gladder for these things than for all that I have since learned from classrooms and from books. For only when a chap is down to the buff and hanging on to the ragged edge of tings does he get gimpuses, through peep-holes of hard work, suffering and humility, into men's naked souls."
Manly, virile poetry marks this last volume of the "Tramp Poet," it is in different style from his earlier poems of love and sentiment. Verse written to jails where he has been confined, on the high seas, songs sang
collar, by the sailors as they work, are al- included in this volume.

The writer is now said to be at a university, not a bookshop, novel which will be awarded with interest—and not a little trepidation—by University people who knew him during his days on the Hill.
On Other Hills
Colleges and universities all over the country are crowded to the breaking point. Reports from school towns in every direction tell of students looking vavily for rooms, women students being denied the facilities and freshmen classes as large as the entire enrollment of a few years ago. In the state universities of the west in particular, the large enrollment has killed the competition between colleges and the freshman institution, of 6000 is no longer a novelty The larger universities are making efforts to induce students to do their first two years of their college work in smaller institutions. In such places as Kansas City, Missouri, and in connection with the city high schools, and serve to relieve the crowded conditions in the universities.
The Student Life of Pamona College says that the informal dances, which have been bright spots in Pamona's social life, will be held more often this year than before. The plan is to have an informal dancing every Tuesday night, if it will not interfere with other events of the college.
Students of Ohio State are now holding a contest to elect a girl who will will call the "Stadium Girl." Besides holding the distinction of being the most popular young lady in school, she will be feted on the night of a barbecue, and on Saturday afternoon of Semi-centenennial week she will be seated in a box at the Purdue football game.
Cornell University students will not be eligible to vote in the coming presidential election in Indiana, states the Cornell Daily Sun. Inquiry regarding the status of Indiana voters has brought out this fact and several other interesting sections of the election laws to light with the opening of the University this fall. Laws do not allow college students to the ballot except in their home towns.
If Authors Lived as They Wrote Joseph Conrad would have been dead long ago.
Booth Tarkington would still be in short pants.
Gene Stratton Porter would be collecting moths or running a saw mill. George Randolph Chester would be paying an income tax like John D's.
Katherine Fullerton Gerould would be some sort of pathologist, attending high.brows only.
Edith Wharton would be living at Bushby Corners, coqueting with the oldest inhabitant.
Henry James would be—but he's dead.—Jack-O.Lantern.
Mental Lapses

Do you suppose these
Girls who wear several
Pounds of hair or
Substitutes for hair
Giving the effect to a
nature exponent exceller
Are back-to-nature fends
Imitating the pastoral
Haystack or former inmates
Who are lonesome for the
Atmosphere of a padded cell?
I SAY
Stanzas written in dejection near October 1.
The hours I spend with thee, Type writer,
Are as a string of groans to me;
count them over, every one apart,
O misery, O misery.
Each hour a groan, each groan to prayer,
To help a set of nerves unstrung; bang each kylo unto the end. But still I find my thoughts unsung.
Get Better Acquainted
"I came to K. U. to teach, because "I like Kansas, western students, and western environment," said Miss Helen Mahin, of the new instructors in the department of journalism, "I like teaching, especially journalism, and I expect to make it my life work."
MISS HELEN MAHIN
ADOLPH BOESE
Miss Mahin received her A. B. degree at DePauw University in 1909, her A. M. and Ph. D. degrees at Michigan in 1916, and her English at DePauw University, and journalism at Carleton College and Goucher College.
O painful hours that more than burn,
O barren gain and bitter loss;
O do my best, but all in vain; my bean
Won't come across, won't come
"I knew that I would like Kansas before I came to Lawrence and I like it much better now," she said. "I have taught both in the east and west but I like the west much better. When I first saw Lawrence I was struck with the beauty of this city at a wholesome, free, broad outlook that I know I am going to be perfectly satisfied here."
Note:To be sung with a deep feeling (of repugnance.)
"My fellow faculty members have made me feel at home since I arrived. They do everything possible to help students," he said, "and are extremely cordial toward me."
The college youth had just come out to the farm to work thru the summer vacation. At the first meal he was seated opposite the regular hired chef, and when the majority of a plaited of baked beans by means of his versatile knife blade,
"There is a big future in the newspaper business," said Mashin, "and it is a very fascinating study. You will learn about how developed thoroughly, and new ideas are being worked out all the time. The carrying out of any advanced line of work in my classes will depend on what the department requires."
Adolph Boccee, assistant instructor in anatomy, is a native Nebraska. Kansas, however, is his adopted state and he says he has no hail to find on the ground. He takes Nebraska and came when very young with his parents to Newton, Kansas. After finishing his elementary and high school training, he came to the University of Kansas where he has spent four years. Last year he enriched himself with Medicine and is pursuing that course in connection with his teaching.
Mr. Boese will not go to Rosedale at the end of the semester, but will continue assisting in the laboratory.
He is undecided where he will finish his course.
There are four women and about forty men in the class which Mr. Boose is assisting. Some in this class are preparing to be medical assistant.
"Many medical students go to Rush college," he said, "but I do not know yet where I shall go."
Mr. Boese is a member of the Phi Chi professional fraternity and of Alemana.
The Social Service committee of the W. Y. C. A. cainted their little sisters at a breakfast picnic, Saturday morning, on the campus.
