I am pleased to please the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals that they represent; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the university.

SENIORS WHISPER GRAFT
Why can't the seniors have a masa meeting?
Officers of the class were elected last fall but not once have the members of the graduating class had a chance to get together, get acquainted, and discuss matters that are of interest to them, such as the senior memorial and plans for commencement week.
The senior committees for invitations and caps and gowns feel that they have been unjustly accused of graft. The accusation has not been made public, but it has been hindered at simply because they have laid themselves open to suspicion of graft by not coming out and explaining why the invitations and caps and gowns are so expensive.
Talk to nearly any senior on the campus and you will find he is incensed over the apparently exorbitant price he has to pay to rent a cap and gown and to buy the customary senior invitations. Each and every one speaks plainly of graft. All this unjust criticism, if it is unjust, could easily be quelled if the president of the class senior would call a mass meeting of his fellow classmates, present the bids his committees have had from engravers and costum rental houses, and plainly show them that the prices that are being asked for these senior "necessities" are not unjust, but are due to the universal rise in the price of everything.
The seniors are not kicking because they want to "pick a bone" with someone, but simply because four dollars is a stiff price to pay for the rental of a graduation robot, and fifty and seventy-five cents a piece for invitations appear unreasonable.
Seniors are talking among themselves of going down town to a photographie and renting a cap and gown for one dollar or of placing their own individual orders with costume rental houses in Kansas City or Topeka. If the Senior class as a body has to contract for a certain number of outfits on which rental has to be paid, then it will be hard on the class if some seniors place their individual orders with other firms.
The majority of the ill feeling that now exists among the graduating class can so easily be wiped out, if the president of the senior class, who is the only man who has theOWER to call a meeting, would gather his fellow students together, and explain matters. It is an unhard of thing in senior class history that up to the middle of April the senior class of the University has not been together en mass even once.
Let's have a senior mass meeting!
AMO, AMAS, AMAT
"thirty-love." "Love-fifteen. First one." Along with the bird's song and the frog's croak, spring brings a renewal of the soft ping of tennis rackets on balls and the accompanying amorous score keeping. It would be interesting to know how, in tennis scores, the word "love" came to mean nothing—a somewhat cynical usage on the face of it! But probably there was no tragedy behind the genesis of the custom. Tennis is a game of great antiquity, having analogies in the *epharisia* of the Greeks and the *pila* of the Romans. Perhaps one Marcus was playing *pila* with his beloved Terentia, presuming Roman ladies indulged) and she asked, "What is your score?" Naturally his reply was "Quindecim, amor."—and the deed was done!
However it originated, the form seems to be with us for better or for worse. A New York athletic club recently started agitation for the elimination of "live" from tennis but seemingly to no avail.
Undoubtedly the word used in this sense is irrelevant and irrational at the beat. Perhaps the only two imbalance reasons for retaining it are first, the painfulness of uprooting a habit of long standing, and second, that the matter is too trivial a detail to warrant any action.
Expressions of opinion *fr. a.* *u.* *v.*
*variety tennis enthusiasts* might
throw interesting light on the sub-
ject.
TRAINING FOR VERSATILITY
Teachers who can combine with the regular high school subjects some ability along extra-curricular lines will be able to command high salaries in their profession, according to recent newspaper reports. The call for teachers for next year is great, but the demand for instructors who have prepared themselves in a combination of departments is acute and the teacher who has not restricted his training in the regular subjects will receive a salary from 15 to 25 percent higher than one who has specialized in only one or two subjects.
A student of the University, who will receive her degree at the end of his semester, recently received an offer of $1600 to teach nine months in a Kansas high school. According to Prof. W. H. Johnson, of the University School of Education, this student is able to command this sary because she has prepared herself in more than one department.
A request from Canton Christian College, Canton, China, for twelve instructors gave as requirements the following qualifications: College training, influence over students, interest in social work, willingness to adapt oneself to new conditions, and energy for twenty hours of classroom work a day.
The new standard set for teachers is not confined to Kansas, nor China, but is spreading over the United States and the world, and those who would attain the highest success in this profession, together with the higher salaries paid to those qualified to fill the positions, must necessarily train themselves along several lines.
A New Military Decoration
Cornell University has solved in a perfectly logical and satisfactory way the problem raised by the war, in which her younger as well as older sons took a creditable part. She has created the status of war alumnus for the benefit of those students in good standing who dropped out of their classes or were unable to attend school so were prevented from graduating. These men will be regarded as members of their classes exactly as if they had completed the course in due form. At the same time there are also many other graduates have resulted from giving degrees with established scholastic significance to those who were educating the enemy at a time when in the ordinary course of events they would have gotten an education for themselves.
A New Military Decoration
In that list will be found the names which will remain in glorious memory as long as the university endures, and those which will be spoken of all phrases 'killed in action'. Those so commemorated will represent by their number and the mystery of their fate. The sacrifice of the sacrifice they made—New York Sun and Herald.
Campus Opinion
The writer noticed an article in the Kansan regarding a certain member of the library force. The thing that he noted was that she question has been on the force forty odd years and that she was hired to "keep order" in the library. Of course if that was what she was hired for, she is doing her best to carry out such a task.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
Why is a librarian anyhow? Is it merely to keep order in the kindergarten style or is it something bigger? To the writer's mind it is a position of great responsibility and consists in more than keeping students from whispering. It is also a position of library in different states but has yet to see one where the method of repression is the keynote of its policy. University students have average intelligence and will remain reasonably quiet without the pressure of military discipline. One never sees a business office where absolute silence reigns and conversation is hindered because of the office because the office force has learned to concentrate. A student who is distracted by the least disturbance will never make a success in the business world for there is no librarian there to "keep order." If the students are such children that they need careful attention why not the jacket worn by the librarian concerned with matters of greater importance? Until this change comes K. U. can never expect to have an up-to-date and efficient library. Give us liberty or a new race of librarians.
"Reformer"
Editor Daily Kansan:—
I got into a silly argument a few days ago with a student. He holds that the best thing to do to radical Islam is to show the native radicals. To him a radical is a funic, a fellow with an unbalanced mind. he contends that labor is radical, therefore unbalanced. He says of logic it had unimpressed
This man is not unlike the average man. He served overseas during the past war and he reads the newspapers. When asked if he had a United Nations diplomat, the Nation, he replied that he did not know such periodicals exist. Of course I do not contend that everyone must believe all the New Republic or the National primes, but unless one sees an airplane, or other magazines of liberal thought for that matter, how is he ever to get anything but a one-sided view of a question? Certainly he will not at present from the daily papers, especially if that question demands it to do with the "Red" hysteria.
Here is the dilemma; Students, who of all people are expected to be broad-minded, are generally so prejudiced and narrow that they cannot be persuaded to look at both sides of a question. Perishably that I am narrow also, only in a different direction. I deny such a charge. I read the Kansas City Star and that certainly takes the popular side of the "Radical" question. Secondly, I read the New Republic. If I do no other read-fully, certainly have both sides of this particular question in these two mediums.
But look to what end, such a doctrine as my friend I believes, leads. In the democratic state of New York, which certainly professes to believe in democratic representation in its legislature, I am often scorned by semblery expelled for no other cause than that they belong to the Socialist Party. In other words, five different distrigs in New York City are refused representation in the Assembly because their democratically elected representatives happen to be Democrats and disliked by a majority of the Republicans and Democratic members.
Surely, these members of the New York Assembly, who voted to expel five Socialists, have, in so doing, lost control of the State Department of the United States into disregard than a thousand of the most radical "Reds" can ever do. As John Spargo quotes an English statesman, "Pools of blood, statutes, there is but one injustice."
THE FUTURE.
A Sina chief who and saved the government a great deal of trouble by his loyalty during a squabble on his reservation, was informed by the local agent that the government would give him a liberal recompense for his services. He didn't seem highly elated over the news.
Lo! The Poor Indian
Neither Black nor White, just Gray.
"Recompense, Chief. Do you know what that means?" asked the agent. "I am wearing clothes I iron too bad. Recompenses. Iron too bad." - Silver and Gold.
Missouri University is to have a chapter of Theta Alpha Phi, national honorary dramatic fraternity.

On Other Hills
The "Ninth Annual Entertainment of the Orophilian Literary Society" was held in "University Hall, Monday Eve. June 7, 1880," according to a printed program recently received at the University Library for its collection of relies. The program bears the pencribed name of "E. W. Merville," in a feminine hand, apparently the cognomen of the gentleman who escorted the donor to the affair. The "programme" was a lengthy affair, comprising both musical and literary selections. All the papers read there on were most learned matters, as well as those about the person of are of a highly rhetorical nature. The former owner of the program
The former owner of the program set about to criticize the events of the evening, for after each she had made a notation. Some of these are "good," "amusing," "good but affected," "good enough," and "pretty."
