The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely pruning the news they may already hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

AN OLD STORY
Tonight the County Club Union meets for reorganization for the year. The matter of the county club's part in the pushing of the Permanent Income amendment has long since been realized. The matter of forever harranguing on the duty of the student in pushing for the amendment has been worn threadbare. But the value of the constant bringing up the subject and working for it is seen in the fact that the bill passed the legislature and perhaps for that reason alone.
Now the question is that of getting the people of the state to think favorably of the amendment. It is a much greater task than that of talking the legislators into seeing the matter right. Then the real work was left much to those on the committee to influence the law-maker. It's only now that the part of the student is really at hand.
Go to that meeting tonight. Help organize your county club without only a view to being an officer in the organization. Help push along an agitation that will mean a greater school in the future, one that you will be proud to claim as your Alma Mater.
MISSING A TREAT
Tuesday over in Fraser Hall you missed a treat. That is the chances are twenty to one that you missed it.
Less than one hundred students and faculty members heard Charlotte Herr tell of the intimate little points of human interest in the life of James Whitcomb Riley. To read a man's work and not to know the man is like reading a letter from someone you know nothing of.
Miss Herr proved consulsively that Riley was human, that to be a poet does not necessarily mean that a man be a dreamy, unapproachable sort of a person. To learn this much of the nature of a great American poet should be a good day's work in the study of the English language. Yet not one-third of the students who are majoring in English took this opportunity to learn something that is not in their texts.
The reception given Miss Herr was regrettable to say the least. Her talk was not the uninteresting speech of someone raving on their ideal poet. It was more of a conversational explanation of the bigness of the hoosier poet. It was a rare treat for those who heard the talk. As to the others they missed something really worth while.
SHAKING HANDS
The ability to meet men is without doubt a big part of an education. A great deal of the impression that a man makes when he becomes acquainted with a person is made through the personality that is shown when he shakes that person's hand.
A cold chill involuntarily follows the shaking of hands with a fellow who puts out a lifeless hand. There seems to be no truth in the statement that you are glad to be acquainted. But the man that exerts a little pressure and looks the fellow in the eye is the man that will make the right impression.
This statement is true for the woman as well as the man. The woman that gives you that lifeless grip gains none of your respect. Cultivate a way of shaking hands without overdoing it and it will repay you for the time thus spent.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY
This year among other things that have been bosted in price simply because it could be raised was the cost of the rental of halls downtown for dances.
This year a third or more was tacked on to the cost of the halls and with apparently no reason. Lawrence property has not undergone such a wonderful increase this year over last nor has the war given the hall owners sufficient reason for the raise in price.
The same halls if located in Kansas City where there is not a scarcity of suitable places to give dances would perhaps bring in half of the price they do here.
The University gymnasium floor is not suited to dancing unless it is properly treated before a dance. The owners of the downtown halls know they have a good thing and they are taking advantage of it.
OTHER OPINIONS
THE PERFECT GIRL
The following are the attributes of the perfect girl as seen through Harvard eyes, some fifty bachelor graduates having recently, and after considerable discussion, agreed on them for the "girl that's worth while";
She is attractive, graceful, and healthy, but not necessarily pretty.
nearly, but not necessarily pretty.
She can dress tastefully and enter
tain any one and make him feel a case.
She can make bread as well as fudge, and cake as well as a "rare-bite."
Her dancing is not necessarily the latest, her tennis is not necessarily up to the standard, but she is appreciative of the dance and of the sports.
She is broad minded, sympathetic, tactful, unselfish, optimistic, thrifty, of good disposition, and moderate in all things.
She can stand reverses without worry.
She is gentle to children and kind
to弱 people, especially to her parents.
She has a broad education, but not necessarily a college one.
She is modest and true and home loving.
She has good social standing, is of a religious nature, and is not "too proud to pray."
