The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to be more active; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21, 1917.
Poor Richard Says:
It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
UNFAIR CRITICISM
Criticism of the University of Kansas was frequent during the recent Kansas legislative session.
The attack was centered largely of the activities of two men—William A McKeever, who by his contract with the Board of Administration is at liberty to spend half his time in independent lecturing and book writing, and on Homer Talbot, secretary of the Kansas League of Municipalities, an organization sanctioned by legislative enactment and separate from the University.
Mr. McKeever and Mr. Talbot do not teach University classes.
Mr. McKeever's connection with the University is as head of the child welfare department of the extension division. Mr. Talbot is in charge of the municipal reference department of the extension division.
Both are radical in the stands they take. The result is that enemies of the University are created. This is not to the personal discredit of Mr. McKeever and Mr. Talbot. Mr. McKeever has done more to discourage cigarette smoking than any other man in Kansas. Mr. Talbot is a fearless champion of things better in municipal affairs.
Criticism aimed to hurt the University of Kansas should be made $ \omega $ a square basis.
Their prominence makes it important that their relation to the University be understood. This is fair to the institution.
Private antagonism toward Mr. McKeever and Mr. Talbot should not be the basis for attacks on the University as a whole.
C. M. Harger, a big success in his field as a writer, would like to start over again as a student. Would you, a University student, like to trade places with Mr. Harger? You would be a frequent contributor to leading magazines and owner of the dividend paying Abelene Reflector. Mr. Harger will be one of three thousand students, probably wondering how to finance himself until summer.
THE DAY'S WORK
The day's work, as Mr. Kipling writes of it in his book, is a high-sounding phrase. One answers it with a thrill. There is adventure, romance, great stakes lost and won, noise of battle, in it—in Mr. Kipling's book. There the day's work is a matter of bridge builders, men in lonely army posts and cholera stricken districts, ship-wrecked sailors, pool players, all fighting against terrible odds. Hence the thrill.
But the day's work is always present—outside of Mr. Kipling's book
And there is little that is high-sounding about it when it is translated into terms of chemistry notebooks, history quizzes, or the daily round of preparation. But the fact remains that it is the day's work.
A graduate of a small college taking graduate work in the University notices the absence of nicknames for faculty members. Of course there is "Chancy," "Uncle Jimmie," "Perly," and "Zeus," but there are about two hundred others who worry along without such distinction.
A PLEA FOR EQUAL RIGHTS
The women in the University must be having a campaign to "Keep off the grass" judging from the way they march four or six abreast on the campus walks and refuse to break line if a mere man attempts to pass them.
Equal rights? perhaps and perhaps not.
The new power topping the Russian government is a university professor. The president of the United States was a college professor. What is this world coming to?

Another song going the rounds is entitled: "I didn't Raise My Boy to be a Paddled Freshie."
CAMPUS OPINION
mandatory must be signed as evidence of good faith but not guaranteed or published in good faith but are considered to be correct.
Editor of The Kansan:
The Kanana is to be congratulated on the editorial entitled "Senate Huma
A number of the Senate acknowledge that there is a definite sentiment in the University and in the state against Mr. Bryan delivering the question to the committee. He debated in its own meeting the question as to whether the invitation to Mr. Bryan should not be withdrawn. They realized that a number of people would not care to listen to Mr. Bryan because of his attitude in the university.
Then the Senate votes that any senior who does not care to go and listen to Mr. Bryan speak on anti-militarism, peace at any price, non-intervention, disarmament, grape juice or what not, will not be allowed to graduate and receive his or her degree.
Consistency, thou art a jewel.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
There are enough Smiths at the University to form three baseball teams. If they stood on each other's shoulders, the top one would be higher than Fraser. If placed end to end they would reach from the—Oh, nothing; only we thought you might like to know.
A varsity dance at K. U. suggests quite forbly this quotation "There are three classes of dancing—the graceful the ungraceful and the disgraceful.
Would it be impertinent to suggest that it must be vacuum pressure which makes some folks hats sit so tight these windy days?
One would think that men who are intelligent enough to be college professors should know that healthy people are secured by closed doors and windows.

POETS CORNER
"I thank God that I do not find any college fraternity men talking about 'frats' any more."—Dean Shepardson, of Chicago.
Three years ago the Daily Kansan published "If" by Rudyard Kipling. The poem was clipped by a University freshman and hung on his desk as a motto. Yesterday he asked that the same poem be published again.

WHEN FUNSTON WAS HERE
If the diapthane had been invented in 1880 and had been installed in the buildings of Kansas State University, some would have been used, some with conversation as this;
"Say, did you hear? Funston has got the appointment as botanist on the Government Death Valley expedition."
"Fred Funston, you know him, that stabby, frckled face, red headed sophomore that licked the big niggers down town one night."
"Who?"
"Of course everybody knows Tiny Funston, but who ever knew he was a botanist? Wy. I don't believe he ever passed Professor Snow's first course. He got the job because him was a congressman, that's how."
Now, whether this suspicion was merely the offspring of envy and disappointment who can say? The young man in question certainly had not a national reputation as a botanist, and his father was a congressman. "Farmer Funston" he was called by his friends, Funnster. He was killed by his colleague a botanist of the Civil War and one of the pioneers in the agrarian movement that was later to sween over the country.
WANT ADS
But whether it was pull or perspicacity that picked young Funston for the post, it was a wiser selection than a competitive civil service examination would have made. For Funston made good. He saved the lives of his party by a hike over the scorching desert in search of water, and if any one doubts his efficiency as a scientist, he can harm you by getting the Washington exchanges and he will see neatly pressed specimens of arid flora signed by the name that has recently been seen at the bottom of the dispatches from the Mexican frontier.-The Independent.
The casual reference to Professor Snow and to "Timy" Funston, shows how the local color of the University campus is a nationally known magazine office.
The above is the start of a sketch of Funston, "The Man Who Made Good," published in the March 5, issue of the Independent.
The explanation? E. E. Slosson, a student at the time Funston was here, is literary editor of the Independent. The remainder of his sketch on Funston is well worth reading.
