The Daily Kansan hopes to promote graduate life of the University of Kansas than merely printing the news by standing for the ideal. Students, for example, have favorites; to be clairt; to be cheerful; to be attentive; to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

Have you a little SALVAGE
BASKET in your home?
MOLEHILLS DO GROW
This time it is the goodness-awful story of the young women who were so audacious as to walk across the University of Kansas campus in broad day light, to enter a building used for purposes of instruction and laboratory experimentation in engineering. They should have been chaperoned. Somebody said so. Somebody in afterthought offered to be chaperon. And it was a story, a tremendous story the A. P. should have put a time-dash on and flashed across the state.
The proposed visit of the young ladies to the Engineering Building was advertised three days in advance. Trust the Jayhawker publicity men for that. Offers of chaperonage should have come within those glowing days. They are too late now, and had best be left unproffered, unuttered, especially since they would have been quite superfluous in the first place.
Beauties? Who said they were Beauties? Who believed it? Contestants out for votes? Who ever denied that? The engineers are neither Bluebeards nor ogres. They had a modern business conception wonderfully burlesqued. The candidates were just like all candidates. They did what other candidates would do even in a Lawrence, Kansas, city election. Then why the holy horror at a happy lark?
Everyone personally concerned knows there was no indiscretion in the conduct of the young women. The lash of adverse criticism has cut because it lacked justification, because it possessed an entirely different spirit. University students resent the implication that women students should need a chaperon to accompany them to any classroom on the campus, especially when faculty members, whose presence constitutes chaperonage, are present. There is no ban on the feminine presence in Fowler Shops. On the contrary, there have been women students there in engineering courses.
As for personally requesting votes, the contestants this year have only followed established precedent and prevalentcustom. If this were an unusual practice there might have been something said a long time ago. If propriety had been violated in the personal solicitation of votes year in and year out, why didn't'the censure come before now? If the rule is to be laid down now, let it be universally applied. Let no one ask another for a favor or a courtesy, or a gift, or for the conventionnal exchange which really lies at the bottom of most giving.
This is nonsensefI however. This a stirring trouble where no trouble was or actually is except for its subjective existence apart from objective fact. Reigning social mandates have not been violated by anybody, neither now nor in the years gone by. Twentieth century Kansas ideas of chaperonage do not correspond to those of the Spanish Duenna. And it took a whole gang of steam-shovels to heave up the dust from around just one of many monotonous molechills.
PERT PUERILITY
Signs are signs. They tell things. Witch they tell things on somebody they get an opprobrious name and sometimes precipitate unpleasant consequences. The sign which made faces at Fraser Hall from the safe distance of concealed identity of authorship this morning was just plain infantile.
The sign said something about chaperones and engineers and young women and so on, and it had a glass case on the corner of the sidewalk right in view of people who had to go by it on their way to University business.
The sign was not worth reading. Too little mentality was behind it. Not only Fraser Hall but the rest of the University can afford to ignore both it and the children who scrawled it.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
He knew that the freshman cap season was approaching, and accordingly got out his distinctive headgear and dusted it off. It was such a little thing but it is the little things that count during April and May at the University of Kansas.
