The Daily Kkanan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the University of Kansas; to go further than merely hold the news from the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be funny; to leave more serious problems wisher heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

Poor Richard Says:
OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM
God helps them that help themselves
Did you ever consider the system used in selecting candidates for student offices in the University?
Possibly you have attended a caucus and noticed the extreme care to select a man who has not been active enough in student affairs to make enemies.
The big thing has been to win elections. As a result University student leadership has not been as capable as it should be.
The political pot is beginning to sizzle preparatory to the spring election. The same factions which have selected some of the present officers, will devote their efforts to mapping out tickets for the student council, school and athletic offices.
Perhaps Mr. Dykstra or other government experts can suggest a reform.
Kansas University faculty and students are preparing to do their bit if war comes. There may be nobody left when that eminent pacifist, W. J. Bryan, appears in June to make the commencement address. —Wichita Eagle.
VIOLATING THE RULES
Briefly the collegiate rules are as follows: Rule 1: Penny ante and ten cent limit. Rule 2: No one to lose more than seventy-five cents at a sitting. (Except when allowance is more than sixty dollars.) Rule 3: Play only week-ends.
A select number of University students are charged with violating the collegiate rules governing contests of the Great American Game—vulgarly called "Poker."
These rules are reported to have been stretched so that in one game, the ante was "two-bits" and "the sky the limit."
This is a demand that the collegiate rules be observed.
This shocking "Editorial" having been finished, it now becomes necessary to explain. The Great American Game is a surprisingly rare sport among University of Kansas students. Mount Oread is not a den of gamblers — so those interested in the welfare of the University should not jump at conclusions.
An interview by Arthur J. Boynton, professor of economics, on the importance of universities in furnishing men for "big business" was printed as a "top-head" in the Los Angeles Times. Many Kansas papers didn't see the "news" in the story. But men on the Los Angeles Times are paid real money for their ability as news judges.
"She is a clever attractive girl but she is not effective," said a faculty woman of a certain student. What she meant was that the girl was identified with half a dozen or more student activities but had not distinguished herself in any of them.
If you are a campus cutting fiend why not reform?
A GOOD FRONT PAGE
The theory of the newspaper man that it is the front page that sells the paper is something more than a word or two to many things besides newspapers.
I heard a distinguished engineer say once that badly chosen neckties had ruined the prospects of many an otherwise excellent engineer. Of course, he was reluctant to exhibit too large a percentage of his wares in the show window, but a good appearance makes an effective first impression, and a good first impression when backed up by someone else, goes a long way toward success.
If I were in business, I'd see that the walk or stairway leading to my office were swept clean every day, if I had to do the work myself, for I know that it is the first impression that often gets the trade.
I dropped into a business office last week to have an interview and perhaps to do business with a man who is really a genius in his way. The waiting room was a grimy disheveled place that gave one a repugnant feeling as he entered. The table in the room was covered in dust and thick with the dust of weeks. Cohwebs festooned the ceiling, and the floor was littered with tooth picks and cigarette stubs and long thin rolls of lint and hair; yet well dressed women as well as men came there to wait for the services of a man who was one of the best of his profession in the state. It was hard for me to believe that the work which I did with them would be more careful attention than did his job.
An undergraduate handed me a paper one day this week to look over and to pass upon. It was rather thoughtfully done, I found when I got into it, but I had been prodigiously against it at the outset. It was carelessly arranged and badly handled and unwieldy in its general appearance. He had given little attention to the makeup of his front page.
The reader may apply the principle to taste—to the rouge put on too thick or the shoe polish too thin; to slangy speech and careless manners or to the delayed dinner call; to soiled collars and finger nails in mourning or to closely written lecture notes and halting recitations—like the combination tool, it works equally well under all conditions.—Daily Illini.

Social life at the University of Minnesota has suffered a terrific blow in the death of one of its organizations. The Ancient Affiliation of Janitors is no more. Last year the club flourished wonderfully; flourished everything from mops to dust pans, in fact. They entertained, had meetings, and generally acted like any well-behaved club. But this season interest seems to have flagged and the club was not reorganized.Ex.

You'll be glad to see the spring styles in Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes
Varsity Fifty Five
Very unusual values; and very desirable colorings and fabrics. You have your choice of 1, 2, or 3 button models; patch pockets; different cuffs and other details.
Belt Backs
Every young man and every young spirited man ought to have one of these belt-back variations in his wardrobe this season—they're the big favorites.
Varsity Six Hundred
The best of the spring overcoat styles are the Varsity Six Hundred; some with belts; others loosely draped; variations for everybody. Prices easy.
Every fabric used by Hart Schaffner & Marx is stricty all wool; they were the first makers of clothing to adopt that standard at a time when cotton mixtures were very common. They have maintained it always. It's an important point right at this time when the market conditions are so unusual.
