Published in the afternoon five times students of the University Kansas, from the press of the De- partment of Journalism. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university in a way that goes beyond the Kansas, to go further than merely printing the book; it wants the University to hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sun, under the upholstered railing, under you, WILL YOU HELP? The best team in our history will arry the Crimson and Blue colors against Missouri tomorrow night in he annual dual meet. Convention Iall, Kansas City, which is the scene of the meet, will house a large crowd of Tiger rooters who are coming toack their peeless captain and a quad of Bengals, conceded to be among the best our ancient rivals have produced. The opposition will be here. So will the greatest team in Jayhawker history. But what about Kansas rooters? Winning the indoor meet against Missouri means much to athletics at K. U. Kansas City produces a majority of our opponents' best athletes. They go to Missouri because the Tigers have been more successful—not generally; not necessarily in football or any particular branch of sport, but in track at Kansas City. Kansas City high school stars judge by what they see. Few of them witness any dual combat other than the Kansas City meet. Missouri has been winning and the athletes have gone Missouriward. If you have one spark of loyalty; if you are interested in the triumph of your Alma Mater; you will be there in Convention Hall tomorrow night. It's up to you. Tomorrow night the Jayhawk has its best chance in years to squawk. Tomorrow night K. U. can convince prospective athletes they should come here. Every detail has been worked out. One thing is necessary for victory—SUPPORT. The endorsement of the universal training system by the members of the faculty is not so surprising. Most of them are old enough to escape service. WELCOME GUESTS The glad hand to the high school students and teachers! That is the way every University man and woman should feel towards the hundreds of guests on Mt. Oread today and tomorrow. The teachers here for the conference have their entertainment arranged but students should show them every courtesy possible. There are about 600 high school students here. They represent sixtey eight Kansas high schools and some of the best talent of Kansas. The majority of them are juniors and seniors and will be going away to college next fall. They are forming their opinions now as to where they want to go. It is up to the University students to see that they view K. U. in such a light that they will want to come here. And now is an opportunity to do much toward correcting some of the false impressions that exist over Kansas about the University. It is to be regretted that visitors on Mt. Oread are not shown enough of the serious side of the life. They are not burdened with going to classes or work in laboratories or library. Their hosts neglect their studies while the visitors are here, in an effort to show them a good time, and often a false impression is made—that University life is all fun and no work. If you talk to prospective college students make this clear to them. A few opinions held by high school teachers might be corrected and a few words about K. U. needs will not be amiss. A MENTAL VACATION Do you ever take a little time off during the day or the week to read something other than text books or periodical fiction? Text books, having a terrible sameness and monotony, often cause loss of mental equilibrium. A page or two of a good book is like taking a vacation. Refreshed, you return to the work that must be done. If you don't believe it, try keeping a volume of your favorite poet, essayist, novelist, or short-story writer on your study table. Reading a bit when your brain is tied in a knot or when you are disgusted with the contents of your text book. You will see things in their proper perspective again. And all the time you will be reading these few worth-while books which you formerly had consigned to that far distant time when you wouldn't have anything to do but read them. FOR UPPERCLASSMEN FOR UPPERCLASSMEN Be good to the freshman. Remember how he has served you in time of need. Think of his meekness, his patience. Count his virtues, and if all of these considerations fail to move you—then remember that he's unsquealable, so why waste time in attempting the impossible?—Ex. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A Tragi-Comedy in three acts. ACT I—THE FIRST QUIZ Stude: Professor, Professor. Upon my quiz paper; Prav. what does it mean? Prof: O student, my student, I give you a hint: It means you have flunked With 16 per cent. ACT II—IN THE OFFICE Stude: Professor, Professor, I kneel at thy feet; 'I'll study 'till midnight,— 'I'll not stop to eat. Prof: Go steady, go steady, Don't take it too fast; We'll see how things stand When the final is past. Stude: Professor, Professor, I see a big "I" Upon my quiz paper; Upon my quiz paper; I'm frightened—I run Prof: O student, my student, B frightened not thus; It means you've pulled thru With 99 plus. “An education which, to all practical purposes, ignores citizenship is a fraud. We must begin to give less time to the shabby veneer of culture and more to the requirements of plain citizenship.” -Hermann Hagedorn, Jr. "Scholarship and friendship are the qualities which should be acquired in college, and the blending of the two should be so perfect that the over-load of one will be a detriment to the other?"—Daily Marron, Chicago. We wonder that some authority on ethics hasn't attempted to trace out the boundary between sentiment and commencement invitations—Ohio. The women of Kansas university have thrust off all traditions of inequality and have banded together to attend the football banquet and all other events. Is it possible they are asked whether they are planning to pay their own way—McGill. You can't judge a man by the clothes he wears, neither can you estimate the prosperity of a state by its public buildings. Kansas, one of the richest states in the union, disguises its prosperity by making it appear as if it's about as sorry a looking piece of architecture as our old North College. Who Knows? The rule of three is—one out to go home. Whose publicity work is this? POET'S CORNER March, the first month of the spring, Whose days are bright and arch days— Though some are breezes all a-blow And some are merry brooks a-flow And some are sunbeams, don't you FORWARD MARCH Know. They all are "Forward March" days. —Edna Osborne. Of all the things of out-of-doors Liking the wind the heat THE WIND LOST—Waterman's fountain pen in library or on golf link path.

Professors who use their own text books seldom criticize the viewpoint of the author. And as far as that is concerned neither do the students. Tis only done in play. —Edna Osborne. "Who steals my purse steals trash," roared the actor who was drawing $250 per. Inside information soon gets out. We never appreciate the value of a professor until another university entitles him away by a bigger salary. The latest popular song—"Don't Handicap the School That Has Educated You." A professor who doesn't understand why a class doesn't grasp his subject should listen to himself. How, then, are conditions to be remedied? A brief study of the various courses offered in the university will determine by the end of the first year whether or not these courses should be of work order. If some other branch of work have been selected, there is still sufficient time to make a change without necessitating a loss of time and money. A definiteness of purpose chosen will enable the students in professions and will produce better professional men.—Purdue Exponent. Some of these days somebody is going to come along and invent a dateless dance, but there he be a musician, and there be a loudness one invention calls for another. DEFINITENESS OF PURPOSE is thus that many freshmen enter the university, enrolling in some particular school because he has been advised that way or because some older friends have taken the same course and made good, without knowing that he is in no way fitted for that profession. Some students awaken to their mistakes early in the day, but the majority do not realize their error until late in the game when it is impossible to do a change without losing a period of time already spent. A change of course at this time would mean an extra expenditure of time and money, of which are frequently out of the question, a continuation of the same course, or the withdrawal from school, all of which are highly undesirable. Although the present period is considered an age of specialization, when men are preparing themselves for some particular line of work throughout life, it is not uncommon to find a university student with no desired purpose selected to guide them toward a goal. High school in designing their courses to suit the demand of university who are unable to obtain university educations, must offer branches of study which will make for well-rounded men and women. The student who later expects to enter college is usually unable to select courses which will enable him to make a decision upon some profession for which he might be more fitted, and he might therefore forced to select his university course from information offered to him from various sources.
