Phona, Bell K. U. 25 and 66
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go to turkey than merely print the news by standard printing hudis; to play no favors; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to have leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university of the University.

Cast thy bread upon the waters; for cast
the bread and it after many days—Old
Treatment.
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS
"Optical illusions" is one of the most dangerous diseases. Everyone is afflicted with it. Nothing is as black as it appears to be. Neither are the University students. By many of the people of this town and others they are considered to be a frivolous lot. Those subject to "Illusions" can not see beneath the exterior; they think there is nothing real, nothing practical in the experience of college students. But who knows that the dandy with the pinch back coat and the Japanese tie has not spent years behind the plow, or is not famous in the western part of the state as a broncho buster. And the most frivolous pin healed ruffled creature who knows that there is not concealed in her the most capable dish washer of her home town. Appearances are deeving; things are not what they seem. Beware of "Illusions."
Don't let the other fellow kill your time—he probably has nothing else to do.
TAKE AN INVENTORY
There are students of lines and angles and students of men. Which will you let the University make of you?
It is within the power of the University to make of you either of those two—a man or a book, and the choice depends on you alone. Out in the cold world after father has withdrawn the "trifling pittance" that barely kept you out of debt in college the opportunity will come to show how well Latin and geometry has been applied to the study of human affairs and the relations of Tom to Dick and Dick to Harry.
In other words have you learned the things in the books in relation to their bearing on real life, or have you studied the facts of history and the law of sines as they were written ng ago and have come down to us without change?
Everything great and good is beautiful, whether it be a mighty engine or a delicate painting. There is an aesthetic side to everything, and the beauties of the world are seen only through the eyes of the theoretical, or the things that exist in the mind. If the mind takes the theoretical subjects as aids to see deeper into the beautiful, then the theoretical is essential and will be of immeasurable value later.
On the other hand the student who inscribes the theoretical on his mind as the dictograph takes down a letter is wasting his time and would be bitter off stoking coal in the hold of an ocean liner.
Take an inventory of yourself. Is the theoretical helping you to see the
beautiful in the real world? What has your college education done for you?
Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.
WAITING TO LOCK BARN
In ancient times a man built him self a house upon sandy shores in a country where there were floods every spring. And all the wise people said, "How foolish!" And one day a flood came and swept the house away.
There are thirteen buildings on the campus of the University of Kansas with only eight fire escapes divided among them. People do not say, "How foolish," because there has never been a fire to bring to mind that lives of 3000 people are in danger every day. Which shows the indifference of human beings to danger and to law.
LIKE THE STUDENT
Who has some definite aim in view and works continuously to accomplish things?
Whose vocabulary contains the words; "If you please, Thank you," and "pardon me," as well as "but your didn't that jar you!" "aw shucks!"
Who doesn't go about with a "they pink on me" expression, but knows a lot of things.
Who doesn't complain of hard work
when asked to do something, but says,
"This
Whose sails are adjusted to the wind and what colour do collysanna, sees through them is the glad sail.
Whose time is well divided between work and play.
Who can choose wisely between the worthless and worth while, who looks ahead and is not blinded by the im- ise of the moment.
W who dresses neatly and tastily and is not adicted to fads.
Whose conduct with or without the teachers surveillance is the same.
"no is not too, no is not, a kill joy, a dare-
necked man, a smartly, a naint, a saint.

JES' FILLER
WHO'S GOING TO STOP THE CATS?
Two weeks ago the question was,
From marching on to Pennantville?" A man sized task to do.
Those times have changed, so has the done
There'* others that survive.
And in the wild, you will find
the Wild Cat five.
The fight grows every day more close. More keen the competition;
There's others that are courting Fame, and valley recognition.
But now the question seems to be, "Can any one survive
A combat with that AGGIE clan— That fighting Wild Cat five."
That fighting Wild Cat five."
— W H '18.
Examinations
They're coming fast, those blame exams, and lo! the hapless student crams, a night-light by his side; in autumn, when he had his chance he hied him to a show or dance, and let his studies slide. But now he's filled with awful fears, he sheds whole quartz of bitter tears he cups up, he feels he was wasteful precious sweats and swots until his dome-piece creaks, to try to make them up. Ah, vain, all vain, his wretched toil, his burning of the mignight oil, too late he has begun! But you and I collect our chink and beat it for the campus rink, to have our little fun. And while we skate beneath the moon, he mastaches a tautness to keep himself until some fatal day by heck; he ties a stone about his neck, and jumps into the lake!-Me Gill.
The greater part of the students of the Ohio State University are the children of farmers and merchants. From the information cards obtained from students at the time of their enrollment, professional men, but clerks, merchants, and even laborers, are now sending their children to college. Fully one-hird of the students' parents are farmers, while the remainder are professionals of life, from lawyers and doctors to janitors and cooks —Ohio State Lantern.
Farmers' Sons Enroll
Something new in the way of an adviser has been added to the faculty at the University of Kansas. This man's business is to act as a "Vocational Guide" and to help the students decide on their particular lines. He will be able to give full information concerning all the fields and the relative possibilities among them.-Purdue Exponent.

Seniors at the University of Washington are strongly opposed to the final examinations. They have completed a list of data which shows that the university does not employ judges do not have such exams or that they are merely semester exams that

require no particular amount of extra time. They hope to convince the relegates that their exams are unnecessary and bad. A similar movement at the University of Illinois failed.—Daily Californian.
At Knox College the women are threatening to do away with all the parties unless more men get dates and attend. The women are assolutely at their wits end, and do not know who is attacking them or some of the most attractive women in any college. The reason is that the men at Knox College have just refused to be made an accommodation of the women any longer. They can still might as well take off their glad rags, for they are not going bye-bye that night—Ex.
Women Are Shunned Here
A resolution to that effect was passed unanimously by the five chapters in the Interfraternity council at the bi-weekly meeting held at the Deke house on Thursday, February 8. The bill had been under consideration for several weeks and was finally decided upon favorably by all. A man shall not be urged to remove ton of any fraternity another fraternity or alumnus, or agent thereof, and if a pledge to a fraternity is cancelled, this man shall not be bid or pledged to any other fraternity within a period of six months from the date of cancellation of that pledge—Knox Student.

One reason Indiana students do not root harder at basketball games is that they must save their strength to play in the building — Indiana Dialed Student.
AT OTHER SCHOOLS
Examinations have been abolished at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas by a faculty rule and hereafter all grades will depend upon the daily work of the students.—Daily Californian.
Go-eds at the University of Wisconsin have proved that they can live on 35 cents a day. But then everyone isn't interested in reducing.
Two students at Ohio State have purchased a motion picture theater in the University district—Minnesota Daily.
DePauw University is erecting a wireless tower.
Harvard University will erect a memorial to its soldiers killed during the European war while driving ambulances or as combatants. Nineteen men from Harvard have been reported killed on the European front, and the latest tabulation shows that 417 Harvard students have either enlisted or taken up relief work since August, 1914.
Yale football men have been urged to adopt wrestling and boxing as a means of keeping in condition for the team. But for the football team have turned out.
A junior at the University of Minnesota is offering to secure dates for junior girls' basketball to go with the price of tickets for ball games. "Daily Californian."
Twenty-eight awards will be given out to seniors and members of the Graduate School at Ohio State University, in the shape of scholarships and fellowships. These are given on the basis of merit in scholarship.
"Final examinations should be abolished!" * ** The ancient idea that final examinations are beneficial to student and professor has passed from the realm of careful thought."—University of Redlands Campus.
Students of Illinois University recently enjoyed a novel entertainment, a Chinese play presented by the Chicago University—Indiana Daily Student.
$1,800 represents the average yearly wage of Harvard professors. Their total budget is $600,000. $500 is the highest salary paid a professor.
