Dattered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1819, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.

The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be curious; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university's students of the University.

K. U. MUST LEAD
Senator Rolla W. Coleman, who introduced the permanent income bill resolution which was adopted by the legislature, now urges systematic county by county organization to make sure of the adoption of the permanent income at the general election of 1918. The permanent income resolution which provides for a constitutional amendment, must be ratified by a general vote of the people.
"I certainly hope that now that we have gotten so far with this constitutional amendment," Senator Coleman says, "that the educational institutions will make a long pull, a strong pull, and pull altogether for its success at the election.
"They can do this if they will organize in every county in the state, but it will require work and attention from everyone interested in the institutions."
The University of Kansas which took the lead in backing the permanent income resolution appears to be the logical leader in the suggested campaign.
The Board of Trustees of Columbia University does not favor the honor system, even among the faculty. A committee to "ascertain whether doctrines subversive of government" are being taught by the professors of Columbia has been appointed.
THE PADDLING QUESTION
In these days of frightfulness, and of revolutions, of thunderous events ringing in our ears, not to speak of the high cost of potatoes and other vegetables, and indeed of food products generally, the continual obtrusion of the paddling question at K. U. is at least disturbing to concentration of national sentiment when we say that we are glad the disciplinary committee will meet Monday. We hope that it will not adjourn without taking decisive action on the question of freshmen caps and paddling. Why, one may ask, should caps be permitted to mere lower-case freshmen? In a crisis hour Congress is marking time, the President contemplating war sits with dripping pen suspended in mid air, statesmen, other T. R. and Root, hold their breath, and the diligent farmer, mindful of the demands upon him at this time for a large output of food crops, stands irresolute in his fields, awaiting action of the disciplinary committee on the crucial issue: To paddle or not to paddle—Topeka Capital.
The writer of this article is the proud father of a promising son. He is correct in his stand. The "paddling question" is all important. That promising son will be a K. U. freshman some day. And judicious paddling will do him good.
A SUGGESTED REVIVAL
At a gathering of enthusiastic Jayhawkers the other day only a few knew the well known K. U. songs—and the wise ones were all upperclassmen.
Perhaps there will have to be a revival of the old singing school.
The University Kansan hasn't any "twenty years ago" column, but its department of three years ago items headed "When Seniors Were Freshmen" does about as well.—Kansas City Star.
Several fraternities have ordered flags to fly over their houses. It is part of the spirit of the times.
With the coming of spring and the starting of the grass the effects of campus cutting are becoming apparent. It is a little matter, to be sure, but it is a thing that has much to do with the beauty or unsightiness of the University campus.
A visitor was heard to say yesterday, "Yes it is an ideal location for a university but the buildings look so bare." The second clause might have been omitted if vines had been planted about the buildings.
UNIVERSITY CENSORSHIP
The name of Columbia University is known throughout the country. In various connections the name of its president is almost as widely known. Many people have a tribute or institutional reputation. But it is doubtful if fifty persons in New York City can give the names of a third of its Board of Trustees, and it is doubtful if any one outside the city can name a single trustee. These facts give point to the announcement that staff are to inquire whether officers of the University are teaching doctrines subservient of our government or disseminating doctrines contrary to the "principles upon which it is founded." In one aspect such action is only food for laughter; it belongs to intellectual life. But unfortunately it also is of serious significance. Much of the talk about academic freedom and censorship in universities disguises the real issue. The simple fact is that men of science and scholarship in this country do not have intelligence, intellectual life, b

POET'S CORNER
OVERTONE
—William A. Percy in the Bellman
I heard a bird at the break of day
Sing from the autumn trees
A song so mystical and calm
So full of certainties.
No man, I think, could listen long
Except upon his knees
Yet this was but a simple bird,
Alone among dead trees.
COLLEGE LIFE
OLOLE
Call her on your talkphone.
Ask her if she's all alone.
And if she gurgles something soft;
Drop the phone and rush aloft.
Clamp your neck into a collar;
Borrow roomy's only dollar.
Gaze upon your handsome self
in a mirror on the shelf.
Then you gallop down the street;
Hardly know you're on your feet—
Just like flying through the air
Calling on your lady fair!
See the movies—reel or two—(Nothing else that you can do) Push the bricks a while and then lift the top with the drill. Guide her to an ice cream store, (Been there just two hours before) Tell her that new (?) one on the
Then wonder why she seems so horred!
Go back to your two-by-four,
Same old key in the same old door,
Same old room, snoring away.
You know exactly what he's call
If your shin bumps on a chair
And wild remarks choke up the air.
You doff your dups without a light
(Neighbors miss a pleasing sight)
Bed is welcome—For life like this
Would make an iron man's engine
See her to her front yard gate.
Hear her murmur, "Enjoyed it.
miss!
"Wind", he demanded whimsically,
"Whar wuz you dis time las' July?"—

CONGRATULATES FACULTY
"I have a boy attending the University of Kansas," Charles F. Spencer, president of the Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Company, said, "and when the K. U. faculty recently adopted a resolution declaring in favor of universal military training, I wrote him a letter saying that I wished to congratulate them on the achievement as guests in line with my ideas exactly. I believe, for the safety of the country and the benefit of the boy himself, every one should receive the advantages of a military training."
A week went by, a letter came; the last page bore my dear son's name, and he requested there and then that I remit a check for ten; "there were some fees he'd have to pay." Ah yes, thought I, he's had to buy an atlas or a fountain pen and so I mailed the next day.
A JAYHAWKER FABLE
Last fall I sent my son, Jehu, to gather learner at K. U. and study Plato and such things and why the dodo had three wings, and find out if he could just why the world goes round. I sold my yearlings and my ducks to keep Jehu in beans and books to he departed for the Mound.
This is the best kind of kodai weather and you are going to need a kodak. Come in and let us show you some. Squires Story—Adv. 120-3
Each evening Ma and me would sit around the fire and she would knit whist I would read the news. The doings on Mount Oread were spread before young Jehu's dad, and he began to get some clues. The Tappa Keg's last dinner dance, with costumes straight from Paris, France, had cost five hundred bucks. The Rho Rhos made an open boast the night before butter on the toast; in velvet pledged it to the缸; in For Pi fraternity had pledged Jehu; gol dern it he had paid a lot for that. I said to Ma, "This must cease must, I throw some dumbs in my valise and hike up there right off the bat."
I found the house where Jehu was and marched right in to find the cause of him a-spendin' all my kale on things he couldn't use. I found him in a room upstairs with books around and pairs and working like the deuce.
"Sit down, dad, and have a seat, and rest your bones and tired feet, while I translate these last few lines from the book. I'll think perhaps four hours or so will be enough for me to know tomorrow's lessons if I grind. And then we'll talk for half an hour upon the cost of flour or what is most upon your mind."
Next day he took a quiz, he said; so proud was I he killed it dead, that I drew on the Farmers' State, and took back all I'd said to date.
He pulled a green shade on his eyes and grabbed a book of Webster size and soon was lost in it. The next I went to bed, two, I’d gone to sleep before he quit.
