The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news weekly; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to serve to serve to the best of its ability alongside the University.

RESEARCH ON THE HILL
Once more the University of Kansas has forged to the front. This time it is in its selection by the United States Bureau of Education as one of twelve Research Stations to be established in American universities which seem best equipped for the work contemplated.
The purpose of these stations will be four-fold: First, to promote scientific research in education; second, to utilize in a national way such special resources and facilities as these different universities may have available; and fourth, to bring the Bureau of Education into close relations with educational agencies of the country and promote bureaues undertaking educational needs and problems, and extend range of effective service.
The University of Kansas has long been recognized as one of the foremost of American Universities, and the action of the Bureau of Education in deciding to establish a Research Bureau here is noteworthy. With Dr. C. A. Buckner as its director, the United States Bureau of Education, Research Station, of the University of Kansas, is an assured success.
DON'T LOSE YOUR GRIP
Probably not a student has been on the Hill the past week who has not heard time and again that school would be closed because of the flu, in spite of repeated statements from authoritative sources that classes would be continued unless the situation became much worse. The situation has not become worse, rather it is much improved and the student who has beenletting assignments slide with "Oh, well, school won't hold much longer anyway" is awakening to the fact that he has several days back work to accomplish at once.
Again Dame Rumor has been rampant.
Not only has there been a laxness in work but the number of cuts has noticeably increased. In some classes as many as one-fourth of the students did not answer to roll call at times. The same situation prevailed during the coal shortage before the holidays, only that it attained a more acute stage because the period of uncertainty was more extended. The effect of th attitude taken by many students was very definitely felt, some professors going so far as to say a few "funk" of last semester could be traced directly to it.
That mere rumors of the most groundless type should be given credence by university students to the extent of seriously influencing conduct is a fact as lamentable as it is difficult
to believe. When a man or woman has progressed so far along the educational highway as to be a student in a university it would seem society had a right to expect him to have a fair amount of individual reasoning power and depend upon him to use it for furthering sane, common sense attitudes toward questions of public interest prevailing in his community. He should be a thinking unit able to arrive at independent conclusions, rather than a subject of psychological mob laws.
Let us not, then, as students “let up” on our studies now simply because rumor has it that we may be compelled to do in the near future. Such is almost certainly not the case and if classes are discontinued it will result in aerious enough detriment to our semester's work without our supplementing the disadvantage by relaxing individual efforts now. Above all let us base our opinions on our own interpretations of authorized statements rather than the chance remarks of a thoughtless companion.
MOONLIGHT ON MARS
Ever since romances have been written the most off-chosen and effectively employed setting authors have used for their love-scenes has been a moonlit garden. And who shall say that the real dramas of the world-stage were not acted in that same "soft radiance" long before the earliest Babylian composed his novel in cumiform or Parasho's scribe carved the histiophytics that constituted his best seller?
Perhaps, then, it is more than a mere scientific curiosity which has aroused the recent interest in opening communication with Mars. Perhaps our neighbor across the void has some real benefits we might share should we gain access to that far-off globe. For Mars has two moons. And if the effulgence of our own single occasional lunar visitor stirs Earth's youth to such depths of tender emotion and inspires her writers to such heights of literary effort, what would be the effect of doubling the dose?
Imagine, if you be so inclined, a Martian maid and man, imagine the garden with flower wonders of undreamed-of loveliness. Imagine the moons, in the eastern sky Phobos and in the western light of Deimos and under the shell of their combined witchery the man is pleading with inexpressible ardor, "Oh, Gwendolyn, my darling—" but It is useless to write it all out. Having imagined the first no doubt you can finish the story.
But what if as many scientists maintain, the temperature of our sister planet is so low that human habitation is impossible? It seems little short of a tragedy that that dual brilliance should be left to shine upon the frozen wastes of the Martian landscape and should not be given the opportunity to elevate a single soul to the realms of aesthetic睁光.
Not to be outdone in patriotism by neighboring competitors, the warden of the Jail at Lawrence, Kana, has bunged out on his jail the sign "Wel- lance." The warden will will
Mike was a newly made sergeant and used all his means to show his authority. One morning he met one of his minors his mustache.

The girl had been sent down to the brook to fetch a pail of water, but stood gazing at the flowing stream, apparently lost in thought.
"Who gave you orders to shave your mustache? he shed扎." "I'll show you army discipline! If you come to parade this afternoon without your whiskers you'll get into trouble!"

Cap and Bells By G. B. S. Jones
It may be difficult to find half a dozen men who do not already possess all knowledge and wisdom. If necessary, I shall extend my search to the entire commonwealth of Kan-sas, in an attempt to search out any men of this type for a discussion group.
People who know so much make me uncomfortable, and I have decided to try to find a few men who know what they are interested in, or to acknowledge it. If I can find them, I believe there are matters of politics, of literature, of religion, and of University interests that we might disinterestedly treat as prejudices, yet with possible profit.
One reason I should like to do this is that in another college where a once taught, I had the good fortune to belong to such a small group of men who were ignorant like myself. And as I do not at present expect to have an education during this spring, I should like to know a few such men before I leave.
It may be in some of the fraternities where I have been a guest or where I have friends, as well as among the men who have at some time or other been in my classes, there may be a dozen who would like to come together in a small discussion group such as I have in mind. From the first, let it be understood that in this case only those known as "low brows" are apt to qualify. It is my own opinion that no one is a Republican, a Methodist or a Presbyterian or a U-nionian, would find himself at home in a group that confesses its own ignorance but its great desire to learn.
I think I may myself be able to qualify because I belong to none of the above or similar classifications, and because I have been as busy keeping out of organizations as many others have been busy getting in.
