The Daily Kansas ampie to picture
the students of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the Uni-
ster School should have to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to their heeders in all, to serve to the university, to help the students of the University.

AERIAL RUNABOUTS
The student who can live at his home out in Kansas and make the trip to the University in an aeroplane each day, seems to be within the limits of possibility. Frederick Handley Page, of London, designer of the Handley Page bomber which proved so effective during the war, promises an "aerial runabout" that will be so inexpensive and practical that it should come into general use.
By a revolutionary improvement in the plane construction resulting from months of experiment, he expects to make flying cheaper than travel by rail. He will produce a 2-man airplane with a wing spread of but eighteen feet, allowing for successful landing in a city street. It is to be propelled by a motor of twenty-five horse-power which will drive the new plane at a speed of 100 miles per hour. This is only one-third of the power that was formerly necessary to drive an airplane at this speed and will allow for a enormous saving in fuel and engines. Five hours fuel will be carried and the wings will be so mounted that the machine can be easily stored.
The invention has tremendous possibilities, but perhaps the University authorities will desire to await further development before parking space for the machines is mapped out on the campus.
FAIR AND WARMER
We have carefully refrained, this spring, from commenting, editorially, on the weather. The reason is that we never could know even though we used the paper and ink for a weather editorial that we could use it. If we were to bewil the late cold and the nipped peach blossoms, as likely as not, when the thing was all set up and in the forms, a balmy spring day would be benignly smiling on the world. And if we indulged in spring rhapsodies a January snow storm might be raging when the paper went to press.
But there are a few things about the weather that are always pretty much the same. For instance, stormy week-ends. Haven't you noticed it? No matter how radiantly sunshiny and warm the preceding Friday is, Saturday and Sunday are simply bound to see either the north winds come up, or the rain drops come down. It is fate, pure and simple, and wise people have long ago ceased to plan week-end hikes and picnics. All nature enthusiasts can do is to seize the first pleasant day which presents itself and make the most of it.
Queer the different attitudes different people take toward the weather.
It is the same difference to be found in individual outlooks on life—the difference "twixt optimist and pessimist." There is the man who always has something to complain about. If it isn't too cold it is too hot and if he isn't finding the rain disgreeable the wind is over-active.
And then there is the refreshing individual—bless him—who turns up his collar against the cold wind and enjoys the thrill of its invigorating sting. When the water drips through his umbrella and soaks up through his shoe soles, he simply smiles and says, "It's great for the farmers." Whether the sun shines or the clouds hang low, he finds a good reason for truthfully saving.
"But say.
Isn't it fine today?"
TRUTH IS BEAUTY
Some people may insist that the Observatory is the finest and most commodious building on the campus. But the great majority will give that honor to the Journalism building. The main part was only built in 1883 and presents an up-to-the-minute appearance that is most pleasing and attractive.
The architectural effect is greatly enhanced by a row of exquisite windows along the comb of the roof, a very unique and artistic feature. The entrance makes a classical impression, the Renaissance extensions have all the poetical significance of white marble halls framed up against the sumptuous brown stone, and the soul of the student is exalted within him as he approaches the stately edifice.
Once within the elegant precinct, he can hardly believe that such spacious and beautiful rooms could be made by mortal hands. There is one great classroom arranged like a theater and finished in rich dark tones worthy of any old master. Other salons devoted to classwork would readily seat the whole department of nearly three hundred in the inspiring rococe chairs to enjoy the water-colored ceiling, the Pompian walls and the perfectly ventilated floors. The news room and the library deserve special mention, and the offices furnished for the head of the department and the members of the staff are all exceedingly lovely and convenient quarters, permeated with sunshine and open to the wind and the rain.
The printing plant has also received the most generous consideration, and the presses are automatically cleaned by the action of the elements through openings above them. Nor has decoration been forgotten. The appropriate and impressionistic frescoes are the pride and joy of every one who sees them.
Throughout the building there are quaint and unexpected steps and esoteric passages in a glory of hard wood and efface plaster to stimulate the students as they pass to and fro. And altogether the whole achievement is so adequate for its various purposes, so great a thing of beauty and joy forever, that our hearts go out to every voter in the state in exuberant thanksgiving and praise.
What a sad thing it is that every man and woman who has contributed the least bit of tax towards this unique and noble edifice cannot behold it every day as we do. How much we regret that they cannot reach their full stature under such fortunate circumstances.
Patiene Bevier Cole, a New York authorhose, has not become a familiar figure i n the University as she hardly attended the University long enough to get acquainted with people. She was here for one term in 1905.

Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The present is a most opportune time for a drive for women's dormitories at the University. Almost every day brings forth new reasons for such a step being taken. Housing conditions are bad enough at the present time and by next year they will undoubtedly be worse than ever.
Many women are living in houses which are more or less inconvenient in many ways, one of the most important being the distance from the University. Some women are known to study at a university campus that they have had to walk daily through the mud since the spring rains have set in. They are unable to find rooms within a reasonable distance of the University. Such hardships should not be to be contended with during their studies because they can inconvenience as this that do a great deal towards 'owering standards of scholarship.
Dormitories for women would not only make living conditions more pleasant but would also equalize the opportunities for work. Some of the children outskirts of the town while they were expected to stand in their work with those who were pleasantly situated. By the dormitory plan, the supervision would be the same over all the children and their advantages would be alike.
Freshmen would be given the same sort of training and their unity would create college spirit. In all, the women would have a better chance to study, rest and social activities, their opportunities would be equal.
Interested
"A young man always takes girl's hand before asking for it."
"What do you think of the bird that'll sit down and write twenty-eight closely worded pieces of music to his girl, special delivery, and then sent a penny post card to the folks at home that he's too busy even to write?"
"Love is what makes a sily grin look like a heavenly smile."
"A man does not have to be a philosopher in order to discover that all rich girls are handsome."
A criticism often heard among Normal backers is that Normal athletes do not train as in former years. These critics are every ready to lay all the blame on the men of the game. But what part do the girls play?
"Camel Meat for Paris"...well that's one step toward a dry Europe.
ATHLETES IN SOCIETY
AGREEMENT
So, fair ones and others too, don't be too ready to criticize the athletes who make up our teams, when they lose their games; but help them to observe training rules. In fact you owe it to your school to insist that they do train—State Normal Bulletin.
The number of girls in K. S. N, is much larger than the number of boys. The athletes are always desirable company for dates and dancing partners and are invited to a dance class. They are also by the different school organizations. These social events are no respecters of training rules. They are given before some important game or track meet or other event and the girls usually are very urgent in getting their shoes functions. Then after the舞是 on, a feed is nearly always put on for the benefit of the guests. This usually occurs about 1 o'clock, too when all good athletes should be in bed to say nothing about wearing pink ice cream during cinematics for the benefit of the ladies.
We, the undersigned, representing the societies of Sphinx Head and Quill and Darger, in order that neither society should have undue advantage in bidding men, do hereby agree not to extend any bids to members of the junior class or to approach any such men in an attempt to gain their places in their rooms between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m. on the second Tuesday of May of each year nor will persuasion of any kind be used in extending such invitations.
This agreement shall likewise apply to the invitation extended to seniors only in their rooms between 6:30 and 10:00 on Tuesday in October of each year.
Any undergraduate eligible selec-
tion by the societies who should be
shown to have approached other
members of his class with a view of
influencing their choice, shall not.
Such an invitation by either society
is
This agreement shall be binding upon each society until mutually suspended.

THOSE INTELLECTUALS WHO
VIBRATE ON LEARNING'S
HIGHEST PLANES
What many a loving parent imagines the line of prattle of the modern undergraduate may be based on 1. "Have you ever stopped, consider the tremendous effects of the late war—or is it死泣?—on the world's activities, economic and social. Now...?"
2. "As soon as this period of unrest has somewhat subsided, the first reform in our social system that I would advocate is ..."
3. "As far as the conflict between capital and labor affects the modern business world," and so forth... 4. Strindberg in his 'Crimes and Crimes' takes the position that seems to me rather out of joint, yet... 5. Einstein in his new theory topples over the..."
What our intellectually thirsty youthful really worry about:
SHE: "Yeah, he cut in on me the other night. I really don't like him at all, but I couldn't insult the fellow, could I?」 There's the cutest man in my Spanish cass. He has the stunning Stutz roadster. Mercy I haven't opened a book she's written Wish summer! What's that girl? Oh, how lovely! Listen to this. My suit's tricoline with an acerone-plated skirt. I also got a new evening outfit—for formal. And a pair of those hideously gorgeous French pumps. n'they cost a fortune. Going to any house parties this Spring? I've been asked to Lehigh and another at Dartmouth, but now I'm boy. How are you, the Alph Falfa with Bob... And so on ad wearm
THE TORTISSE-SHELLED HE:
"Sleepy as hell. Hit a party down in N'Yawk over the week end and didn't get more than two hours' sleep the whole time I was there . . . Was it! Man! Yay! Youh ackout you say l listen; you know that place we hit Christmas? Yeah, right over the bar. Got some talent at the Winter Garden for a change. Yeah, right on the runway . . . Third from the left. Broke as a fool. Gotta smoke? Thanks. A light. That looks like blonde? No, not that one. yeah, that's her. Is her name? Oh . . . Ten after. Think I'll cut. S'long"
Full of learning? You tell 'e pony; I'm a little hoarse.
