The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of students, so further than merely printing the news by standing for it. Students play no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable, to courageous and serious subjects to whor heads; in all, to serve to help university the students of University.

CONSCRIPTING AN AUDIENCE FOR BRYAN
The seniors at the University of Kansas face a curious problem in student democracy. Shortly after W. J. Bryan was invited to make the commitment address in June, the University Senate, a conclave of faculty members who had agreed to the Bryan invitation, imposed compulsory commencement attendance on the graduates. When popular criticism of Bryan's activity against the President's armed neutrality plan arrows, a movement was started to withdraw Bryan's K. U. invitation. This move, however, was stopped by the chancellor on the ground that it was "in bad taste." Now the seniors, in the interest of good taste, have to listen to Bryan next June whether they want to or not, although they had no voice in the selection of a speaker—Kansas City Star.
K. U. WOMEN AND RED CROSS
The action of the disciplinary committee in suspending a student on the charge of dishonest classroom work may be one way of creating sentiment for an honor system.
For those who haven't time for sewing there is the opportunity to obtain membership for one dollar and thus help buy the material needed.
The women in the University have an opportunity not only to show their patriotism but to help keep up the reserve supplies held or our own use in case of war by joining the Red Cross Association.
The student who can go through college and hold to his ideals, command the respect and friendship of his comrades because of his personality and in spite of his faults, and not degenerate to the "common type" has really obtained an education.
LIBRARY SELFISHNESS
A young woman entered the library.
She saw a friend at a table, took a chair beside her, and began to relate a long series of events.
Across the table sat one who was not interested in their gossip. But her attention was centered on a certain book, open before her. She had waited half an hour to get the book, and forty pages must be read and notes taken on them, in the remaining half hour.
The whispering annoyed her. She waited a while for it to cease. It did not. She sighed,—she gathered up her material and sought a distant part of the library.
The listener glared after her, "There goes the book," she said, "that I have been waiting twenty minutes for. She grabbed it just ahead of me,
and now she is running off with it."
And they talked on selfishness.
They were strolling along the campus the other day when the bees swarming about the maple buds attracted her attention.
JOKE A LA FORD
"What is that noise?" she asked as she stopped to listen.
"Oh," he replied, "that's just the bands around the trees. 'C'mon.'
Spring breezes have brought a new afternoon show. Down on Hamilton Field, the first tryouts for baseball are in progress. There are several scores of hopefuls in action and Captain Smee thinks that a Jayhawker aggregation capable of taking another Valley championship will be developed. Championships nine are a habit with Coach McCarty.
Instructors of mathematics in the University of Washington are not going to give final examinations to seniors this year. Seniors all agree that the University of Washington is a progressive institution. But why stop with mathematics?
Now that it is over we can ask the question: Why was the beauty contest held in the Museum?
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good (but) names will not be published without the writer's consent.
The disciplinary committee of the University Senate has asked for expressions regarding paddling. At present, the fate of this institution to discipline freshmen is virtually in the hands of the committee. Today the Kansan received a brief in favor of paddling, which should be given consideration. It comes from Samuel S. Weatherby of Lawrence, a college man and Beta of fifty-five years ago. Says Mr. Weatherby:
'Editor University Daily Kansan:
"More than fifty years have passed since my college days. Still I feel a growing interest in the freshman question, with the freshman should know with the traditions of the University he is attending, but when it becomes a danger to life or property that it is time to call a halt.
"Paddle a freshman if he is contrary and obstreperous, certainly. That is the way we were disciplined when they aged, and it was good medicine, too."
When Seniors Were Freshmen Items From the Daily Kansan Files of Three Years Ago.

Campbell, Buster Brown, Harry Evans, John McCaslin, Victor Household, captain; Hall Curran, Lewis Helvern, Earl Ergason, Herb Coleman, Clyde Braden, Click Ferguson, Don Joseph, Ben Sweeney, Clyde Culter and Nuts Hurst.

Mrs. Cora G. Lewis and Mrs. Eustace Brown talk to the University women and it is decided to have a population of 20,000. A ban on mid-week dates.
Captain Stuffy Dumire sees good basketball prospects for 1915, saying: "If Sproul, Weaver, Folks, and Cole return next fall together with Waddell, Appel, Aschby, Sorenson, Keiser, Bachman, and several others of the freshman team with Nelson, of the "dark horse" squad, we should build up as strong a team as we had this year."

"The flag epitomizes patriotism," said Chancellor Strong today at convocation. A inely expressed ideal of the American flag is found in the following verses by Wilbur D. Nesbit, a Chicago advertising man:
POET'S CORNER
YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
Your flag and my flag,
And hard fire to see;
In your hand and my land
And half a world away!
Rose-red and blood-red
The stripes forever gleam;
Snow-white and soul-white;
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to
gleam bright;
In the sky of a shell
The gloried guild of the day; a shelter through the night.
Your flag and my flag!
To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts bent
And fiddlers shrilly pipe!
Your flag and my flag—
A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope—
It never hid a lie!
Home land and far land and half the world around
Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the sound!
Your flag and my flag!
And, oh, how much it holds—
Your land and my land—
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed—
Red and blue and white.
The one flag—the great flag—the flag
for me and you.
Glorified all else beside the red and
white and blue!
