Emerald as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910; at the post office at Lawrence, Kanasa, under the act of March 3, 1879.
Published in the afternoon five time a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up and speaking. He plays no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be honest; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in ath, to serve to the University.

A few strong institutes, and a few plain rules.—Wordworth.
FRESHMEN ONLY?
A communication in yesterday's Kansas suggests the dismissal of politics among freshmen, alleging inefficiency on the part of officers.
The Daily Kansas suggests that the student body compare the accomplishments of the officers in the four classes; and then their grades. After carefully considering what is expected of freshmen and what is due from the upper class officers, decide where the house cleaning should take place. Just what class officers should be the most efficient? Just what class officers have really accomplished the most this year? Just what officials have any excuse for parading before the public as class leaders?
The result of such investigation will be surprising.
ROUTINE
But when it comes to working in any regular manner, nine out of ten of us rebel.
Why do men and women chafe at the routine of daily life? All admit that following a schedule in one's work makes for efficiency, and in the long run leaves more time for recreation than the hit-or-miss methods most of us use.
This is no more true in college than elsewhere. Men of all classes prefer to use their own pleasure in arranging their work.
In college, however, there is more opportunity than in most other fields to wander aimlessly through a day. No time clocks hold one to study hours. If one goes to class according to schedule fifteen or eighteen hours a week, he is left to his own devices the remainder of his time.
Probably the reason for our dread of routine is our unfamiliarity with it. The idea of tying ourselves down to a daily schedule repels most of us before we give it a test.
“If we can learn to think of routine as the best economy, we shall not despise it,” says Dean Briggs, of Harvard, in his essay on “Routine and Ideals.” “People call it benumbing; and so it is if we do not understand it; but if we understand that through it we can do more work in less time, and have more time left for the expansion of our souls, that through it we cultivate the habit which makes people know we can be counted on, we shall cease to say hard things of it.” Ohio State Lantern.
A PRIMER LESSON
Oh Children! Who is this Simple-looking Young Man? He is a College Student who has just come from the High School Basketball tournament in the Gym. Why does he have such a foolish grin on his face? He is Thinking how funny some of the High School boys looked in their Queer Clothes. He is comparing
Them, mentally, to his Own beautifully-tailored Figure.
Little Children, if you neglect your Education and Learn to Chew Tobacco perhaps you can be as Aslime as this College Student who has Forgotten that the High School visitors are the University's Guests. In fact, this Simple Young Man has forgotten more than that. He has forgotted that he Himself, when he first Landed in Lawrence, picked his Teeth with his Fork and wiped his Nose on the Bottom of Sofas and Chairs. And that his Pants were too Short for him; so short, in Fact, that he must have stood in a Puddle of Water when he got Meanured for them.
College Students who Make Fun of their Guests should be Macerated and Mangled. If it were not for such Simpletones, Mount Oread would look pretty well in the sunshine. Are you good at addition? Then put down a column of ciphers, five ciphers in a row, and the Sum will represent the Number of Brain Cells in the Fun-Maker's Cerebrum. Perhaps some of these days such a Simpleton will break his Leg or Run for Office, and then we can get Even with him for Laughing at the High School Boys. If that doesn't cure him, perhaps it would be a Good Plan to Make him Stand under a Descending Pile Driver
TIME FOR EVERYTHING
The student who is just rushed to death, who hasn't any time for lessons or anything else on the Hill, is familiar. But strange to say, his name doesn't often appear as one interested in many of the University activities. We don't seem to see him on any committees, he isn't a member of many student organizations, he doesn't seem to be a leader of student projects. So it is difficult to tell just what does keep him busy when some one else, who does take a part in all of these things, manages to keep his work up to the expected mark.
NEED NEW LIBRARY
Carpenters are building shelves along the west wall of the women's rest room in the basement of Spooner Library. These shelves, which are to relieve the over-crowded condition of the Library, will contain books from the department of history. It will also be necessary to build shelves for the store-room. "In fact," said Miss Watson, the librarian, "every space available must be used to relieve this crowded condition. We have outgrown the library which was built for us twenty-four years ago. What we need now is a new library."
When a girl makes a man walk to a show, insists upon sitting in the balcony, and refuses to let him buy her ice-cream on the way home, it's a pretty good intimation of what she thinks of him. He can either accept it as a warning and retreat before it is too late—or acknowledge it as a signal and plunge ahead.
The head of one of the large departments of the University has consciously or unconsciously adopted for his own use a practice now in use by one of the greatest business firms of the nation. The practice is simple enough: it involves merely one ten-minute conference sometime during the course of the semester with each man in this professor's class. Each man is given a reference with the professor. He himself gives up twenty minutes a day. The individual student gives up but ten minutes a semester.
PROGRESS
The object of these conferences is simply a better understanding between instructor and pupil. By this means not so much a more intimate relation, a relation of closer friendship; but, rather, on the part of the instructor, a better understanding of the matter, and on the part of the students, a clearer understanding of the instructor's point of view and the general purpose of the course. Intimacy, as The Maroon understands the matter, is not the object—it is incidental. In itself it is a good thing and undoubtedly its benefits are among the most important resulting from the conferences—but nevertheless, too good, to be an object. The conferences are a business affair, designed for the greater efficiency of the instruction—Colgate Maroon.
A student who comes in late feels real thrill of pity for the fellow who s later.
POET'S CORNER
Once surmounted, straight it waxes Ever small.
And it tapers till there's nothing Left at all!
Trouble has a trick of coming
Viewed approaching, then you've seen it.
At its worst.
"TROUBLE"
Just remember you are facing The butt end;
So, whene'er a difficulty Must impend
And that looking back upon it
And that looking back upon it Like as not
Like as not You will marvel at beholding
Just a dot!

THE DAY FOR GREEN
Themselfs with green, because it was Saint Patrick's Day in the mornin';
I saw some buds beginnin'

I heard a green frog pipin'.

HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
—Edna Osborne.
So let's get flags and ribbon;
It isn't what a professor has been, it's what he can deliver that makes a hit with the students.
With bow and badge adornin',
Be wearin' green, because it is

Elijah Osborne
Students who slide through their college courses are liable to grind through life.
Philosophy, like mushrooms, springs up spontaneously—it's a bit of vanity that permeates the speech of even the best of us.
Filibusters are not all limited to the members of the United States senate. There are several La Follettes in every nation, but they are no monopoly of all the class discussions.
"Study has been degraded to the position of a shift to "get by."—Reed College Quest.
Psychology, with its contrary opinions, is like a bag of wind that bursts with pressure and has to be continually patched and mended.
Work done on time is equivalent to a good grade.
A COLLEGE STUDENT'S LIBRARY
A COLLEGE STUDENT'S LIBRARY
A certain aged enterprising country
grocer, having, by dint of close
attention to business, amassed a goodly
sum of cash, built for himself a hand-
same dwelling place, one portion of
which he partitioned off for a library.
When furnishing his newly erected
home he went to a bookseller to
purchase books. He did not ask for
the works of this or that author, but took
the measurements of the house as a
sufficient library and found feet of books to fill
the space. Evidently his knowledge
of books was limited, but he was not
to blame.
It is to be feared that many a college student knows but little about a fit collection for a library. Too many think that it will be time enough to give this subject attention after they have gone from the University and themselves. This is a mistaken idea. The weapons a student is to make use of in the battle of life are his books. If he despises books, if he has not a great love for books, undoubtedly he would do a great act of charity to himself and to the world at large by at one touch, seeking some more congenial occupation. The world already has an oversufficiency of slothful, half-starved quack doctors and petifogging lawyers. He who intends to make an honest living by his books, should at once begin to make his collection. He must refrain from making concessions. Let him have a few, in fact, very few books, but let them be of the first order. As he grows older he can purchase others. The best way of making a good selection is to take note of any work recommended in class by the different professors. If you are working on the student will then have a list of the choicest works, on almost every branch of learning.
Every student will also find it much to his advantage to have a scrapbook in his possession, wherein to place clippings of verse, prose and poetry. Above all, let the student take note, when reading, of any striking sentence or phrase he comes across. Take, for instance, Oliver W. Holmer "Professor at the Breakfast Table," where he cleverly expressions and paragraphs, and so there are hundreds of other books in just the same class. You must remember that books are our best friends, not, as has been said, because we can shut them up when we please, but rather because we can make them "talk" to us whenever we want—McGill daily.
Would Abolish Fourteen Events
Feeling that the large number of organized social affairs at Wellesley was crowding the program, the joint council, composed of faculty and student members, attempted a campaign for a revision of the social calendar. As a result, all-college forum was given to the students. A later vote resulted in a recommendation to the council that fourteen events, including the junior dance, be abolished.-Radcliff News.
