U. $2 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go farther than merely拍新闻 by standing for the idea of "favorites"; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14, 1917. No rock so hard but that a little wave May start, admission in — 'Tempsy' LOYALTY It is a mere matter of months until over five hundred students of the University of Kansas, become alumni. Graduation severs active relation with the institution. In the future, participation in affairs concerning Mt. Orad, will depend upon the interest of the alumni. Let us hope that those students who soon will become graduates of this school leave the institution with a finer sense of loyalty, a truer realization of duty, and a keener sense of honor than those unfortunate individuals who forgot their Alma Mater recently in the legislature. The welfare of our school will be at stake when the Permanent Income Bill comes up for ratification. The united efforts of students and alumni will be required to put the measure across. Our student body has never failed to be loyal. Let us hope that among those who leave this year, there are none who will betray their school as did a limited number recently. WHILE IT'S YET TIME How many students realize the second semester will be half over in a few weeks? Have you forgotten the good resolutions you made last February about keeping up with your work or have you let things slide putting this task or that one off until the next week—which never comes. It seems to be a common weakness to put work off, until a little later. However, the theory is false, as every student has found out. Most of them get through when the end of the term comes by burning an excess of the well-known oil but some of them don't. In either event the student loses as the entire work of a course cannot be learned in one or two weeks before finals. This term is still early and no student is yet so far behind that he can not "pull out of the hole." Renew that resolution about keeping up work and add a counter-resolution that you will make it stick. Pass up a few of the good times, spend less time talking to your roommate about commonplaces and make the rest of the semester count in the classroom. TOO BAD! TOO BAD! After years of abuse and patient suffering, our little white honor system has expired and passed into the great beyond. Many grave instructors gave it up months ago and believed it would die a natural death; but no, its end came suddenly on February 23 in the University Senate. The Disciplinary Committee of that body deferred that it was no longer a fit play-mate for the students of the University and sent it to the block. Considered from the seniors' side. its sad demise should be a sources of deep regret to the whole school. It is indeed pathetic that a small minority of our students should bring this unfortunate sentence down upon the head of a praise-worthy institution to the abuse and humiliation of the majority. It is more lamentable that the dishonest few should hang the millstone of vigilant faculty supervision of examinations about the neck of the whole University. Such action on the part of the Senate can be regarded as retrogressive and nothing more—retrogressive in that it was necessary in order to prevent dishonesty, a practise which should be on the deeline rather than on the increase. To the honest student it savors of disgrace to be deprived of a privilege fairly earned; to the cheat it means little for he will find new means of deception and will continue to prosper on the fruits of his neighbor's thought. ESSAY ON KANSAS MEN No longer is it necessary for an employer to ask of the character and moral stamen of the men he employs in Kansas. The state now has taken from its citizens the necessity for a conscience, a will power, and a backbone. This condition of government seems to have been usurped from the idealist's theory for the government of the jelly-fish family. Censorship has delivered completely the Kansan from temptation. Like Robinson Crusoe he no longer attends that might possibly enlighten or corrupt him. Long faces have been substituted for short skirts in all entertainments and Shakespeare is being severely criticized. A Kansas censor is even accused of absentmindedly scratching out the first part of the title of Donizetti's "Sexette from Lucia." The temptations for the body, as for the mind, have been removed in Kansas, but with a destination. Tobacco enclosed by wood and smoked is a permissible form of dissipation; but this same tobacco, enclosed in a piece of paper, is a crime against the state and society; not to mention the particular individual. This is but another example of the power of the press. It feared the ultimate exhaustion of the paper supply, so it shut off competition in this respect. Not only does the state keep the Kansan from forming bad habits, but it helps him to break them. It proves the fallacy of the theory that a man cannot break the drink habit, for he must, will or nill. With the continued growth of the state conscience, it will be possible for a disreputable man five years hence to answer all reproaches upon his condition with the trite expression, "It's all the fault of the legislature. They ain't done their duty by me—" CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent The members of the Executive Council of the Women's Student Government Association wish to express their disapproval of the advertisement which appeared in the paper. The suspension of the date ruling for the picture featuring Marguerite Clark. In order to prevent any possible misunderstanding, the W. S. G. A. wishes to state that the date rule is suspended by the action of the Executive Council of the Women's Student Government Association. To the Kansan: Mona Clare Huffman, President. Hazel Carson, Secretary. The Daily Kansan does not intentionally admit any incorrect statements to its advertising campaign, but it deceptive advertisement groups in only through revertable oversight in the hake of getting out the paper. The Editor. (Signed) THE QUITTER It's easy to whine you've been ill-treated this time; it's easy to stammer and stall, but to study and cram when you've flunked every exam—why, that's the best game of 'em all! And though you come out with a "flunk" or a "con," all disheardment and with lost self-regard, just draw on your grit—it's dead easy to quilt it's the keeping-on-plugging that's hard. (With apologies to R. W. Service and Walt Mason.) The red bird sings "Come here, come here." From his perch in the cottonwood tree, And what care it for books so dry, Scented by its fragrance. POET'S CORNER "Come here, come here," he bubbles forth. What only the ear can hear. What gladness sounds, what joy abounds. THE RED BIRD In his notes of liquid glee. He sings the opening song of spring To the world which sleepspast fast, And giant trees put on their leaves When they hear that winter is past. he grass springs up and flowers bloom For 'tis morning time of year, They 'wakened all with the red bird's eye. And his merry song, "Come here." A Cyclone WANT ADS A big bunch of nothing, coming rom noiseless, no place to go, but in a room with many things.
