The Daily Kansan aims to picture students of the University of Kansas, to go further than more formally printing the news of university events, veracity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

"If the principles of contentment are not within him, the height of worldly station will as soon add a cubit to a stature as to his happiness." - Sterne.
ONE MORE CHANCE
At the last symphony concert only twenty-five per cent of the audience was composed of University students including students from Fine Arts. In other universities the students make up the larger part of the audience.
Does it mean that K. U. students can not or will not appreciate good music?
Most laymen—and some musicians—do not realize what a great gulf separates the work of the orchestra musician who plays in a theatre orchestra and one who plays in a symphony orchestra. In the theater, there is required the ability to read at sight all kinds of manuscript and to make a noise regardless of the niceties of tone.
in the symphony orchestra it is the tone that counts. Everything has to be balanced, the quality and shading of tone, sometimes one little passage gone over and over, until each accent, each gradation of sound is as it should; in other words, until all the musicians play as one man would had he one hundred and twenty hands and the brain to grasp simultaneously the details of all the parts played by various instruments.
The present state of efficiency of the St. Louis Symphony represents an investment of over a million dollars and years and years of work in the ensemble. The pleasure and spiritual uplift derived from listening to the works of masters expressed through the medium of such an orchestra as the St. Louis Symphony, which will appear in a concert in Robinson Gymnasium Thursday afternoon, is an opportunity one does not have every day.
Some students are slow in finding out that it takes more than a studious look in class to pull down good grades.
LAX BUSINESS METHODS
There seems to have been a tendency among some students who have been managing student affairs not to observe business-like methods in setting up the accounts of affairs of organizations.
laxness in business methods seems to be characteristic in some of the managers and officers in the largest student affairs on down to some of the smallest student organizations. It is much easier to follow the line of least resistance and let bills go unsettled or reports unmade until the day comes when a final reckoning must be made. Then it is, that the line of least resistance terminates into a sea of difficulty from which there seems to be no outlet.
In the end, more time is spent in trying to make the accounts balance than if it were done at first; persons owe become impatient and friends lose confidence in the slack manager. Every one knows in what predicaments such methods result.
The old adage that anything worth doing at all it worth doing well applies to the work of managers and treasurers of student organizations as well as to other things.
It not only reflects upon the character of the manager or treasurer if student affairs are not carried on in a business-like manner, but reflects upon the class, the organization and the University.
If any office is worthy of one's time at all, it is worthy of one's best efforts.
Be business-like in all that you do—no matter how small the matter.
The west has worn its patriotism like Lord Dunsany's beggars wore the strips of green cloth which marked them as gods. It has been covered over, the east has said, with the rags of materialism and self-interest, and the east, seeing the patriotism showing through, knew not what it was. But now that the time of real test is come the materialism and self-seeking is falling away and the patriotism of the west is appearing in its pure color. And every one is recognizing it for what it is.
If one will observe the readers in Spooner library marking books which are not their own, or carelessly tearing a page or turning down the corner of a leaf, he is inclined to think that they have but little real association with books.
The university student who does not "conserve and save" is a "slacker" just as much as the young man who hurried to the marriage license office.
Drill and the school drills with you; take agriculture and you dig alone.—Daily Texan.

I understand that commencement is to be made as simple as possible this year on account of the war, but is that any reason why it should not be an unusually impressive commencement?
It has not been customary for the faculty of the University to wear capes and gowns on the day of commencement, but why not start the practice now? This is the custom in nearly all eastern schools and in many schools of less importance than our University. In such schools rules forcing them to wear their graduation exercises are not passed; they are not needed, for commencement means something to them and they want to stay for it.
We hear seniors here complaining because they are compelled to stay. They say, "Why do we have to stick around here just to get that roll of paper? It doesn't mean anything." That is just it, it doesn't mean anything to them. But it would mean a great deal to them if every one knew what to wear, why, and I think it would help to create the proper atmosphere if the faculty would appear in their caps and gowns. We hear that K. U. lacks tradition. Why not make an impressive commencement a tradition here?
We honor her for keeping cheerful and loyal—Knox student.
COLLEGES IN WAR
THE SITUATION AT CALIFORNl
L. H.
Preparedness will be a feature of the summer session at the University of California and a special intercession will be held between the regular and the summer session. This intercession will begin May 21 and last until June 23. It will offer courses in public/libraries, pair, telegraphy, telephony, wireless, field cookery, home nursing and dietetics, and will include only those courses which will fit men and women for the emergency of war.
The three agricultural fraternities—Alpha Gamma Rho, Alpha Zeta and Delta Theta Sigma—at the University of Ohio have found it necessary to make a strong commitment to the entire membership of each chapter has withdrawn from school.
AGGIES LEAVE SCHOOL
Did you ever stop and think of the college girl's situation in this war? She has just about as many notions on the situation as the average fellow has and perhaps a little finer type of idealism, but how can she express herself? It must be hard these times to be rotted off to dates on the farm, or in the ranks or the training camp, but with the exception of a few hard-fought-for places in Red Cross ambulance units, the woman has little work worthy of her mettle. Her education is liable to be hindered and she shall first suffer from strenuous travel to all it yet that can she do so to scavenge or fold cheese-cloth as any eight-year-old or any Slavic peasant woman could do, or else teach others as impetuous as she to clip and sew until their heads ache.
"We will have only two men," said a member of Alpha Gamma Rho last night, "and they are here because they haven't a farm to go back to." The other two fraternities reported that they would each have four men left.
CONSIDER THE CO-ED
said, the proper thing for the college man to do is to stay in college and get all the training possible. It is your job to most serve your country"—Lawrentian.
Nine hundred students drill at the University of Michigan. The engineers will have a fife and drum corps of twenty-two pieces.
Fredrick Paul Kessel, dean of Columbia College, has left the university to assist in the administrative offices of the War Department. He has been granted a leave of absence for the present year and will probably not resume his university activities until after the war.
Medical students should do everything in their power to prepare for government service, according to the National Guard's national defense in the Yale News.
Pre-medics should enroll in the medical school at once so they will be fit to serve their country in the field hospitals.
Trenches have been constructed by the military engineers of the University of Iowa for the use of the cadet corps. Three hundred feet of narrow pits have been dug to a depth of three and a half feet. The plan was laid out by a sergeant of the regular army.
PATRIOTIC FARMERS
One hundred students have withdrawn from the University of Illinois for the purpose of becoming farmers. He has withdrawn to become a soldier.
The first University woman to be called into federal service for war is Miss Carmen Swanson of the University of Oregon, a member of the senior class and student assistant in the Army. The woman expected to leave Monday for Bremerton, Wash., where she will do stenographic gr some form of office work for the navy. Miss Swanson volunteered as a youmom time ago when he was called until summer. Last week word came that she was needed.
Since the outbreak of the war with Germany, the Daily has advised that DePauw men wait before enlisting. The authorities have decided decisions and frenzied judgments.
HAS TIME FOR ACTION COME?
Emotional and hasty acts will continue to meet with the paper's opposition. Nevertheless, it is indeed questionable if the time has not come for DePauw men to act—at least in one way.
The government has issued its first call for officers—men who will train the first 500,000 troops to be raised. This call is directed especially to the college men. Whether DePauw men should or can afford to ignore this rule is up to each student should decide for himself, after careful, calm deliberation.
Certainly no man can make a mistake by consulting with Dr. E. Hawkith.
CLASS SAYS "HERE"
CLASS SAYS "HERE
FOR ABSENT NAMES
The attendance record of the men who have enlisted from the school of journalism and left for "somewhere in America" may be better with them than it is when a deox is due to the fact that Dean Stone of the journalism department has asked the classes to answer "present" for their "departed brothers" when the roll is called. This is one of the old tradition of the French army.
The custom was put into practice for the first time this morning when Dean Stone called "Mr. Savage" and the class, when it finally realized what was expected of it, enthusiastically responded "Present!" Eugene Savage is with the medical corps of the State Militia - Kaimin.
