The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the college by building on its predecessors and then merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the students would like to see published or written to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to teach them how to wiser heads; in all to show what is important to the students of the University.

DONALD E. JOSLIN
When, on July 2, Donald E. Joslin was visited by the Griet Spectre and taken into the Shadows of Death, the Kansas Board lost one of its most versatile and steadfast members, the University lost one of its most brilliant young men, and his many friends were left with an aching void in their hearts;—innerly sorrow by his untimely demise.
Called from this life at the age of twenty years by an all-powerful, yet all mournful Being, "Don." as he was called by those who knew him best, presented an admirable illustration of what a youth may accomplish with perseverance and purpose. Attaining the rank of a senior in college, the while been connected with the editor's papers of three Kanaas weekly newspapers is his enviable record so deserving of the warm praise lavished by his mourning friends.
Though taken away from his fellow-man, remembrance leaves this thought in mind:
His was the gentlest soul we ever know.
His closest associates have as their dearest memory of him, hisaptess character. Untrammlered by life's vicissitudes, he lent an aura of gentility to those with whom he came in contact. Finding pleasure in fraternity with other men, he gave pleasure, and his friendship was at all times held dearly.
NECESSITIES
Mr. Porzi, get-rich-quick artist de luxe, is still confined and incarcerated in a Boston jail at the present time, he has not started a school of promising grafters; furthermore, he has no disciples in Lawrence, as far as can be learned.
So, students who are not acquainted with the ways and wiles of K. U., be not afraid when you are approached today, tomorrow, and the rest of the week by other students who offer receipts for payments for Kansan subscriptions, Jayhawkers, or season athletic tickets; and fear not when the registrar's office urges you to part with $4 or $5 for a season ticket to the annual University Concert Course.
For all these, and more, are propositions bone fide in every particular, and necessary to the fullest enjoyment of university life. The Daily Kansan, the newspaper of the Hill, is as vital to students who wish to know what is happening both here and elsewhere as a campaign fund to a political party. The Jayawaker, the yearly publication, is a memento of everlasting usefulness to keep in mind the frivolous days of college. The University Concert Course, comprising the best artists of the country, is a rare opportunity to hear the best.
a rare opportunity to hear the best
in music—an opportunity no student
can afford to miss.
And in all these things; much time and in some cases expense can be saved by acting as soon as possible in procuring subscriptions and tickets. So, student, turn not away from the humble solicitor; he is for your benefit and convenience; and you will to well to let him aid yes.
TO FRESHMAN
Freshman, take a tip from your uncle, The University Daily Kansan and learn the gentle art of asking questions. It shows lack of head work to go around making unforgivable mistakes and proving to the student body that you are a freshman, rather than asking a few questions and only arousing their suspicions that such is the case. Even seniors forget little minor points about registering and enrolling, and have to ask rather insecure questions. You may be taken for a senior who has become more or less absent minded from over study.
University students as a whole, with the possible exception of a few evily possessed Sophomores have a kindly feeling toward Freshman, and will help you in any way that he or she can. Or if you are afraid that the jinx is with you and you may draw one of the above species of Sophomore, go to the faculty, they are ever reliable and will not see you concession tickets nor offer to take you snipe hunting.
Now don't get wild and panicky but consult and talk with your fellow attends and you will become both enlightened and acquainted.
SATURDAY NIGHT
The University shows signs of "getting into the collar" better this year than ever before. Preparation for the various events of the school year in going forward in a business-like manner, without hitch or delay, and with "everybody boosting," prospects for a successful year are exceedingly bright.
An all-University party next Saturday night, a complete compounding of all the human factors that go to make up our institution—the faculty'll be here, too—has been planned. The plans were announced the first of this week by the self-governing student councils of the men and women. Nothing of the kind has ever been mixed in the way of such a mix in an institution of like size, as far as can be learned.
If everyone turns out; if the old gym is packed from root to basement with four thousand old and new students; pep, good fellowship, and University spirit will exude from K U.'s student body in large hunks, and explode spontaneously, with a bang that
All the social organizations have given up their social affairs for that night. There will be no rush parties. Can't the rest of us, not so bothered with such things, also give up the movies, the first week of adjustment to rooms, or perhaps a date, to "get adjusted" as to our university;
If you don't, try it some time. Ads are the meat of news stories of every corner of the world's great commerce of all commodities, which have been assorted and brought right here to Lawrence to serve the students and people of the town.
Do you read the advertisements in The Daily Kansan?
"NUTHIN' BUT ADS'
The Kansan is supplying a demand of its subscribers through the advertising columns. Modish clothing, snappy service and prices as promised by the merchants in their advertisement are truthful. They couldn't afford to be otherwise, for the benefit either of the newspaper or of the merchants.
What the market pages of the big city papers is to the rarer, the advertising sections of The Daily Kansan should be to the students. The merchants who supply the many needs of the University help support a university institution when they present their wares through the advertising columns and in so presenting their goods, are asking for the attention of the student body.
Look for what you want in The Daily Kansan.

In every period and in every society there exists an understanding of the meaning of life which represents the highest level to which the men of that society have attained—an understanding defining the highest good at which that society aims. The religious perception of our time, in its widest apa-
tition, is that the human well-being, both material and spiritual, lies in the growth of brother hood among all men—in their lovin' harmony one with another—Tolstoy
