The Daily Kansan aims to picture the future of Kansas to go further than merely print the news from Kansas; to go further than veracity holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be helpful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

AN IDEA FOR HOME
Many of us are to busy getting a head full of knowledge from the text books and professors' lectures that we miss learning many things that will be a real value to us and perhaps to our state.
In rushing to that "nine-thirty" lecture we are too busy to even notice that the landscape gardeners are digging irregular beds "hit and miss" fashion upon the campus. Perhaps we don't even take the time to wonder or ask why the beds are not made along the walks in nice even rows like they are at the court house back home.
If each student would go back to his home town with a little knowledge gained from observing the plans and methods of the landscape gardener and use his influence by artistically arranged flower beds.
SELECTING OCCUPATIONS
COURT REGULATIONS
"If I can't get a job as teacher, I'll enroll as a Red Cross nurse before I'll stay at home all next year," was the patriotic declaration of a senior girl in Fraser this morning.
COUCH REGULATIONS The tennis season has come again and with it the usual difficulty of obtaining courts.
The trouble lies in the fact that when players once get possession of the courts on Hamilton Field they hold them all afternoon because they realize that if they once give up their places they cannot get on the courts again that day.
What is to be done about the players standing on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to use the courts?
Municipally owned courts in larger cities are let out to individuals for a limited time provided they have secured a permit from the city hall. The permit specifies the hours, and is good only on the day for which it is issued. At the holder has to do to secure a court is to show his permit signed by the park commissioner. This system prevents anyone from getting a monopoly on the courts.
Such a system might be tried out at the University with the "city hall" located in the office of the athletic director.
At Topeka the rule is enforced that occupants of a court can play only a single set while others are waiting.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
A commissioner of streets and public utilities will be elected in Lawrence tomorrow.
It is a matter of good citizenship that University students who are registered to vote in Lawrence should take the opportunity to vote. They should investigate the merits of the
candidates. This is a better procedure than "knocking" the municipal government but taking no active interest in municipal affairs.
AMERICA'S DUTY
what is America's plain duty. Militarily, on joining the Allies, we must join them wholeheartedly, completely. Our navy must be their navy, and our vast edifice of cash and credit must double their resources at that point in time, that we must sign their treaties, intrench ourselves within their new tariff walls, further their ambitions, and for a full generation beyond all lives now living, live at enmity with nations of middle Europe. Yet it might well mean that any nation which should subscribe to the covenant of peace and assume the responsibility of emforcing it. To such a treaty, the United States would be important. States might well be a party. By singular paradox, it seems given to us to fight Germany that her people might be saved; to help the Allies, not to Berlin and Vienna, but to peace and security. We Americans shall not forget that a majority of the population is worth more to civilization than a dozen victories on the Somme front. We have not suffered the long agony of Europe; we are spared the fury born of hopelessness of heart. By every consideration of blessed fortune, of creed, of faith, of love, for the future, we must be wise, moderate, never ceasing to seek, at the opportune lead to Peace.-E. S. in April Atlantic.

benefiting that the people of the state should have a more adequate idea of university life, and that they should see the more formal and serious work of the university, the men's student council of the University of Kansas is considered to be the university education institution in May. The people of the state will be given a chance to view the work of the different departments and to offer suggestions and criticisms. Michigan will inaugurate a similar scheme some time in May in the form of a Parents' Week, when the formation of the mothers and sisters in regard to the "gay" life which is supposed to take up most of the time of all college students. There is no doubt that people over the state of Indiana know too little about Indiana University—Ex.
POETS CORNER
The hats are all a glitter—it's the time for Golden duds!
As they coply trip by Profs and Laws
slow the bread Adway.
AS EASTER APPROACH!
It's bonnet time at old K. U. and co-eds look most gay.
As they only trim by Grays and Laws
The satin rose is blooming by the velvet violet, buds—
AS EASTER APPROACHES
There are hats with wreaths of cherries red, and hats that look like sin! The stove-pipe hats—the mushroom
And stately leghorn terraces where nink. nik.projects. grow.
Oh, bonnet time—oh, sonnet time—oh,
hats of lance silver!
The manhua crowds salute you with a fine scholastic grace.
Youth fades and songs are silent; love dies and life turns gray.

Livelihood". By Wilfred Wilson Gibbon. Reviewed by Willard Wattles of the English department faculty, "University of Kansas, author of mis-
though dynasties decay. Edna Osborne.
Wordsworth and Masefield meet in Wilfred Wilson Gibson's "Livelihood." All three have known the life of the peasant, the quiet consecration of labor to the job ahead, the innate dignity of the poor. Gibson takes something of the dramatic intensity and drama of the lives that leaves the reader often breathless at the end of his swift accumulation of climatic revelation. The phrases he uses are of the simplest but all is there, perhaps not etched with the starkness of Masters, but certainly both valuable—and realistic without cynicism.
It is interesting to note in "The Plough" the influence of the "spiritual plowman" of Masefold's incomparable "Everlasting Merely." in fact, that "man against the sky" has appeared but lately in the work of Edwin Arlington Robinson, in the way in which a vivid image has more than once swept through literature from some one dynamic source. And the work of Gibson, Harry Kemp, Frost, Edward Piper, or the benefactors elements of the story of Amy Lowell and Edgar Lee Masters, bear somewhat the same relation to Masefold that the egg did to Columbus, or Emerson to Carlyle, not to mention Vachel Lindsay and Yeates, or Byrne and Emily Dickinson.
The poems of perhaps the most enduring value are "Prelude," "The Rocklight," "The News," "Daffodills," "The Lamp," and "Makeshifts." Through all the changes, a drama condensation that lifts them high in comparison with the work of the greatest poets. Let me quote only these lines from the monologue of the crippled mender of crocks who, with all his five bodies, is the thought of the butter "parading in his pompous parlor-march across that field of laughing daffodils";
That starched the mother-wit in
even and made.
"And he was glad he hadn't got a trade.
And of the five, it is his boy Jack he bikis of most.
Hungry and cold along the muddy ways
A man look silly in a field of flowers.
'Twas better mending crocks, al-
thought for hours
You hobbled on—ay! and maybe for
days— ___
That little joke about the crockery,
and chuckle as he charged."
Who, even facing bloody death,
would see.

We think "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" are two great old songs.
We don't know every word of them by heart.
Do You Agree?
Don't you?
We're pretty thoroughly ashamed if that fact?
But we've resolved to learn them within the next twenty-four hours.
We're going to ask the boys (and girls) around the table not to sing "Ypsi" and "She Lives Down in Our Aller" quite so often, and try "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" occasionally.
We think they'll sound mighty good, and mean a lot more.

Students of the University of Wisconsin are now waging a fight to obtain free speech at the University. The fight comes as a result of the refusal by the University authorities to allow Max Eastman to deliver a lecture to students in one of the University halls. The students are petitioning the use of at least one auditorium for the discussion by anyone of any public question before the student body—Oregon Emerald.
