U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news from their university holds; to play no favorability hats; to play no favorability to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to help students leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1917. Poor Richard Says: Early to bed, and early to rise, make man healthy, wealthy and wise. LET THE STUDENTS DECIDE While no official action has been taken, it is evident that the members of the disciplinary committee of the University Senate believe that the present system of paddling freshmen should be changed. This committee met with students Monday. Another meeting will be held early next week. On the recommendation of the disciplinary committee probably will depend the final action of the Senate. The Kansan believes that the tradition of freshmen caps should continue. And paddling has been an effective means of enforcing this University tradition. The question whether padding should be restricted or eliminated, is definitely one of student interest. This explains why the Kansan board has decided to take a poll on Friday to determine student sentiment. Men of the University will be given an opportunity to answer a number of questions which should be given serious consideration. The result will be presented to the disciplinary committee and should influence the action the committee takes. Professor Patterson has asked for an expression of student sentiment. The response has been slight. Now the Kansan board plans to take the initiative to secure a proper response. This expression of sentiment is expected to be important in determining the decision. It is up to the students. AS A MAN READETH A popular place is the newspaper room in Spooner library. Yet many read only the sporting or fashion pages of the Sunday editions. It is easy to neglect reading the daily papers, but it is a duty that each student owes to himself as well as to the country in which he lives if he is going to be able to take an intelligent part in the affairs of the country after he leaves college. It is too bad that we lost the triangular debate to Colorado and Oklahoma. But why worry? The best talkers are not the best fighters. THIS REALLY HAPPENED A student was hurrying to a class. It was a windy day. It was all he could do to open the door in Fraser Hall. As he turned he saw some "co-eds" approaching. He waited, threw all of his strength against the door. And held it open until they had entered. Moral: The wind blows strong on Mount Oread. If students were as industrious all during the semester as they are just before examinations, the Phi Beta Kappa honorary fraternity would be forced to hang out the "Closed—Moving to Larger Quarters," sign. 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": THE PERFECT GIRL She is attractive, graceful, and healthy, but not necessarily pretty. She can dress tastefully and entertain any one and make him feel at ease. She can make bread as well as fudge, and cake as well as a "ra- tieable" dessert. 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 older people, especially to her parens. 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 ill" with her social standing. HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY A systematic student is frequently like a railway folder of a company that announces that its "schedule is subject to change without notice." The old fashioned music box that goes twelve around without stopping is a boon to the engaged couple. "They're that fond of music!" says the landlady, going to bed. "It'sn woner-del-ful?" sighs the couple. "Over the Hills and Far Away," squeaks the canned chaperon for the stethone time. The perpetual grinding of hymns is as inspiring to the student who is trying to catch up on a week's reading of the Bible. Is it possible that is is q a minister preparing a sermon. Music may have charms to soothe the savage breast, but the toot! toot! toot! of a B-flat cornet in the hands of the youngest son of one's neighbor would make a cooing dove want to fight. "I'm sorry, but I can't go," are sometimes the sweetest words a frenzity man can hear when bound to a person. And sometimes the easiest to utter. A man who calls on his girl without warning deserves s something less than a long wait in a cold parlor with her, who chats about "When I was a girl."

The announcement that the price of board would be increased from $2.50 to $4.00, starting March 17, will affect the pocket books of 2,000 students at the Kansas State Normal. Numerous "Co-op" clubs are being started as a result of this announcement—Ex. Baldwin-Wallace college of Berea, Ohio, has decided to abolish all examinations. The combined marks of daily recitations, tests, articles and reports determine the student's rank in the school. This ranking is taken in view of the pernicious habit of "cramming" so common with many students." Southwestern College. Grinnell has abolished the bachelor of science degree and hereafter will award the bachelor of arts degree for completion of the regular four year course with any subject as major, and the bachelor of music degree for the completion of the special course.

"The chief end of man," begins Professor Grabo, "is the construction of a philosophy." He then recounts, in a fine reinmissible mood, the destructive mind with church dogma, the heartlessness of socialism, the formalism of college discipline. Passing over his fifteen or twenty years of dusty searching through the works of professional metaphysicians, he machine, at his helipad, his philosophical system which he has, as his personal life structured. At its center is his conception of God as the personification of the life force in the universe, striving ever of himself and through man to produce, by a painful overcoming of static matter, animates forms infinite-ly diverse, and enables God and of his purposes comes through intuition, which uses reason as a tool to accomplish the divine will thus discovered. How man finds a dignified place in the world, how both his selfish and his altruistic intentions are realized, and how his life is guided and enriched, our literature, are related in what are perhaps the most fruitful chapters in the book. had uttered what dead overs knew.
