The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for longer than merely printing the news by standing up and playing to play no favorities; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FRIDAY,APRIL 20,1917
Foor Richard Sayn?
Stickier than a jungle, it differs badly, but infuriantly easy.
CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
An important point in the Chancellor's speech this morning and one every student who is contemplating withdrawing from the University should consider seriously is the part that the University man or woman must take in restoring the nation after the war is over. All trained men must be saved to this work that the United States can take its place efficiently in the war, the new world after the war and that there may be freedom for all.
ENLISTMENT
Should the college man hurry to enlist?
This question is commanding columns of space in various school dailies throughout the country and college speakers are dwelling at length upon the subject in an effort to map out a just course for the patriotic college man.
Thorough consideration of the question makes it seem hardly advisable for the college man to enlist at this time. If he has the ability to pass an officer's examination and cares to do so, he should not hesitate but every college man cannot be an officer. Some must help fill the privates' ranks and these men should not shatter their college career by taking a rapid hurdle into the ranks of enlisted men. Plenty of time remains for the all important step. The student should carefully consider whether he cannot be of more service to his country in some field other than the army; whether he has some dependents whom he should not forsake. He should consider his position carefully and then act wisely. Few have had time for such consideration yet and still fewer have acted coolly. In most instances a patriotic parade, the playing of a national air, or the sight of a uniform has been the deciding factor.
The college men will probably all have to go and should be ready if there is a call but they should not be wildly enthusiastic about the step. They should know every feature of their particular situation, know their responsibilities, and opportunities—then act. Without such consideration and realization of their true situation, their step cannot be considered a wise one such as college men should take.
ONE MORE CHANCE
The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra has come and gone; its praises have been loudly sung; and still there are students who ask, "What was the sense to all that stuff?"
They refuse, absolutely, to attend such concerts; and rail loudly that
they do not like and do not understand symphony music.
And so the thing goes on, year after year, and a large proportion of the students pass up what has come to be the biggest musical event of the year at K. U. The remainder of the students are wise enough to go; they learn to appreciate a seldom heard variety of music—the symphony; and come away sweetened and enobled by it.
The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra will be at the University, under the auspices of the Schol of Fine Arts, May 10. "Now is the time" for students who have thus far failed to appreciate symphony music to have a real treat.
A PATRIOTIC STUDENT
There was a student whose policy was never to do today what he could put off 'till tomorrow. In the early part of the term he slid along quite easily, but after pulling through the mid-semester quizzes by much cramming, he was haunted by visions of finals and term reports which loomed ahead with a foreboding aspect. The student for the first time began to think, and his thoughts were on how he could get by.
Then came the war and the ruling that all students who left the University for any patriotic service whatever, would receive their semester's credit.
The problem was solved. The student withdrew and went back home to farm,—for patriotism's sake.
KEEP IT GOING
Each alumnus should tie a string around his thumb and mutter to himself, "Lest I forget! Lest I forget!"
That's what the alumni of Wyandotte County did—figuratively speaking. They organized into a K. U. club to garner up sentiment in favor of the Income Bill. They took a solemn oath to make a study of the University of Kansas and to learn its needs.
"But," say the alumni in Hutchinson, Wichita, Parsons, Paola, Paola, and all points south, east, north, and west, "we want to help out with that affair. Can't we do some chores for our Alma Mater?"
Certainly! Why not follow the example of the Wyandotte alumni? Organize into clubs and try to put the matter before the voters in the different sections of the state.
And seniors, just as sure as the sun will rise in the morning, you will be alumni some day. So make up some plan to find out how you can help the alumni to help themselves.

Book Reviews
Let this mountain maid Be remade again. Like the balls remade.
Such is Mr. Fassett's rendering of the popular Andalusian song which suggested the plot of Malvaloca to the Quinteros. The story of Malvaloca (mallow flower), "the fortunate woman whose life has not sulted the purity of her soul—which remains pure white like snow—is one whose appeal never fails." Let it not be supposed, however, that Malvaloca is just another one of those women who have sung a familiar song by Pinero, Jones and Shaw. She is as different from these as the manner of the Quintero brothers is different from that of Guimera and Echegaray.
On the呼叫 the translation is adequate, smooth and convincing. It is regrettable more use was not made of the happy expedient of following the untranslatable word "alpargatas" by a brief explanatorial passage from one of the name of the convent bell, "La Goldrina" (song swallow), which might have saved us from mystification at seeing "Volandero" (Nestling) balancing the English "Swells." The conscious effort of the translator is apparent when we note he has read immediately the interjections except "Caramba".
Malvalaote, though not their best play, was selected no doubt because, shortly after its production in April, 1912, the Quinteros were seated among the thirty-six immortals of the Spanish Academy. They possibly might have found more readers in America, if they had been introduced by Pepita Reyes, a play which raises, but does not answer, the question of whether a woman could marry or take up office. Malvalaote is at least pleasant, though it does not more than hint at the popular farces that have made the Quintero brothers Madrid's favorite fun-makers of two decades.
John Garrett Underbill needs no recommendation to those who have seen his translation of Benavent's The Bond of Interest (Los Intereses Cresidos). All students, in many cases, will profit by his Introduction, which, with possibly one exception, is the only creditable article in English on the Quinteros. Some may disagree with him when he names Galdos, rather than Gani- as the leading character in the "generation of '98." He very properly remarks that the Quintero prefer to write in the Andalusian dialect, "a softened form of Spanish, bearing a relation to the Castilian analogous to that in which Spain stands in the States stand to literary English, though vastly more corrupt.
Spanisants will welcome this translation of Malvalca because they will be glad to have people read of a real Spanish foundryman and the real wife of a sugar refiner, instead of a man under a big hat, and a women with a tumourine. The reading public will be glad of a variant at a time when the Irish minister is still allied of the provincial drama. The three appended pages of notes for the critical study of 'Malvalca' make the play admirably suited for club study.
