Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell K, U 35 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture students from the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news and publishing it, students will hold vardies; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to encourage students to leave more serious heads; to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1917. STICKING IT OUT "Progress is the law of life; man is not man as yet."—Browning. In spite of the many vacant chairs in every class room, both professors and students are trying to hold out during these two last weeks. The library is less populated, especially at that time when dates were wont to gather; but still term papers must be written and thesis material must be gathered. Dr. Burdick's deep bassundo voice thunders out from hollow windows of Green Hall. And the girls, bless them, seem to be of increasing numbers, wearing even brighter colors than in any previous spring. And they talk about the first Officers' Ball at the Fort. We are waiting for someone to advance the theory that "to flunk in German is the highest sort of patriotism." AN OPPORTUNITY The wise student will not miss his opportunity to see the Louis Raemaeker cartoons now on exhibition in Room 302 of the Administration Building. Raemaeker is considered the greatest cartoonist that the world had ever developed; and no one can spend five minutes among his pictures without coming to feel that the verdict is well-founded. Raemaeker shows us war—war in all its grizzly horrors. His brilliant attacks on the Kaiser, who is featured in many of the cartoons-caused the German government to place a price upon his head. It's your chance—now. The admission price of ten cents goes to the Red Cross It's your chance to see some excellent pictures and to help a worthy cause. Editorially, of course, we advocate that all students subscribe to the Liberty Loan. Practically—Well, the government would have received more student support had it floated the loan at the end of the vacation, when pocketbooks are crammed with the results of the summer's work. FOR THE PROFESSORS Princeton University, which has been hard hit by the declaration of war, has undertaken a task that deserves widespread notice and commendation throughout the educational world. The following editorial from the Princeton Alumni Weekly is one of the comments upon it: it is gratifying to learn that in the case of members of the Faculty who enter or have entered the government service during this term, the University is preparing to continue payments in such a manner that those who have accepted calls at lesser salaries will receive from Princeton the difference between their salaries as faculty members and as government employees. It is impossible to state at present what the University can do in this regard after the end of the present academic year. It is hoped that some satisfactory arrangement may be made both for the professors who leave and for those who remain." One soldier lad who has taken three hikes with the Fort Riley boys has now decided that he'll join the aviation corps. ABOUT THOSE ACCOUNTS Many weeks have passed, and as yet most of the treasurers of student organizations and managers of student enterprises have failed to turn in itemized accounts of the funds they have handled. The failure to do this does not necessarily mean graft, but lax business methods; and this has been prevalent in student affairs not only this year but from time immen...rial. It is hard to see where it would be detrimental to a student's reputation that he should have failed to use strict accounting in the spending and receiving of funds. Most of the other students would have done the same. Students are slow in using scientific business methods in the conduct of school affairs. The majority of them naturally rely on the honesty and trustworthiness of their fellow associates in dealings between each other, and do not graft or even have any thought of grafting. This is probably what has happened in the conduct of the great majority of student enterprises this year. If it is true, then the men who had charge of the funds should come out and frankly admit the use of loose business methods. It will not injure their standing among the student body. On the other hand, the longer they keep still, the more suspicion is aroused. WHEN SENIORS WERE SOPHS Items from the Daily Kansan Files of Two Years Ago Hash House Baseball League prepares for finals. The following clubs are yet undefeated. Willis, 1932; Cafe Café, 1932; and the Track Training Table. Thief steals ice cream freezer belonging to Dean L. E. Sayre, and he is forced to go without his favorite dessert for a week. Hazel E. Pratt, of Ohio State University, is appointed instructor in physical education, and Herbert Flint, of K. U.'s Graduate School, is appointed an instructor in rhetoric, for the coming year. Foundation for senior memorial bulletin board in begam. Board is to be held in the library. The 1915 Jayhawker is oversold, and Manager Blair Hackney is forced to cancel half of the order given him books by the Board of Administration. Larry Miller, president of the sophomore class, announces that the freshmen need not wear their caps any longer. Somebody with a head for figurers estimates that it costs each student a dollar to hear a prof's voice fifty minutes. A student spending $500 a month has to pay exactly $1 for each class he attends. Burnt matches are all right in their place, but the person who puts them carefully back with good matches, thereby causing his roommate to scratch half the night for a light, has as much sense of propriety as a cannibal has of the conduct of a Sunday school. Sigma Chis win from the Phi Dilembs in a斗 nor to nothing pitchers' battle. Sigma Chis and Sig Alga champion. Sigma Contest the Pan-Hellenic championship. HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY Pl Ui Puskos wins Johnson and Carlo the Inter-Fraternity Ball league LaTe True religion is based on something stronger than hymns and donations; it is perseverance in the persistence of even the meanst of duties. Logic often says "a thing that is, isn't"—that is where women first got their love for argument and their authority for changing their minds. Parasols were meant to shield beauty, not to guard the freckled countenances of man from accumsulation of freckles—as some men seem to think. Wedding announcements should always be sent with discretion. They frequently prove the mournful toll of a last hope. A fat tumble bug in the close, dark confines of one's bedroom sounds like a flying squadron trying to squeeze through the Strait of Gibraltar. Chemical Fresh—I hear the price of nitrates has gone up. Chemical Soph—Why not try the day rates—Medley. "The PATTerson" 1245 LaS Street. Open during the Summer Session. Half block from campus. No hill to climb. Furnished rooms for girls.
