Phones, Bell K, U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kausan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by standing for the university as the *University of Kansas* play no faade to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. NEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1917 Truth, 'tis supposed, may bear all the truth of what we are about or natural nudities by which things are to be viewed in order to a thorough recognition is ridicule itself—Shafta-t SNAP JUDGEMENT If there is any one thing that every branch of education brings out above every other subject, it is the consideration of the rights of others; and if there is any one thing the college man and woman is lacking in, it is this consideration. The college man is a man of absolute, unqualified statements. He is quick to condemn as a numbskull or as a sister or a roughneck any of his fellow-students without taking into consideration many of the really good things that may be characteristic of that particular fellow. He is to prone to look at questions from one viewpoint, and be closed to conviction on another. He looks a trifle deeper than the surface and then makes final judgements. He figures he has gone deeper than the average individual, and he has—but too often he has not gone deep enough to see the real point in question. In mathematics we cannot determine X without knowing Y. In biology we cannot say an organ is meant for this or that function unless we have disposed of other possible functions. In language we must know the meaning of the various words to make a whole sentence. In law we cannot decide cases on a single principle. We must first know what other principles do, or might apply to the case at hand. The man who stands patiently holding the door of Fraser at 8:29 while several dozen tardy students squeeze in, is one of the many unsung heroes. PROMPTNESS DESIRED Much has been said concerning the professor who holds classes overtime and now that the first touch of life is coming to the campus vegetation, the first spring bonnets are appearing on the campus, and even haughty seniors are wont to frequent the hall of the Library, the disadvantages caused by said professor who h.c.o.t. becomes more apparent than ever. Leaving out the question of food getting cold on boarding-house tables altogether, think of the immense discomfort and time lost waiting for her in front of Fraser while some thoughtless teacher begins to assign the next lesson five minutes after the ten-minute whistle blows. In the afternoon classes one is left to perspire and wriggle over the mental picture of missing the first reel of the show at the Varsity. Or maybe some luckless lover with a fond one at home is compelled to sit distraint, anxious to rush home and eagerly grab the sweet-sweet envelope, while Sir Professor not only completes the elaborate paragraph he is wading in the midst of, but also commences a new one that promises even greater latitude. But worst of all, imagine how it will be in the spring when out on McCook Field the batter pops out hot grounders to the infelders and the third baseman slaps his glove in the dust and pegs to first, nine ancient enemies from Mizzu cavort under their beachers while an Oh-Me!-OhMy! rings out. Human mind cannot fathom the endless perdition that will be wished on a professor who holds classes late at such a time. WHY WORRY? If your professor suggests a little He may or may not give it. If he does not, why worry? Should he give it, you will either be prepared or not be prepared. If you are prepared, why worry? Probably you will get a I or a II. If you draw a I, why worry? Being prepared, you could searched fall above a II, which is a lot bet- fall below a II, which is a lot b than some student will learn. ter than some student will do. Thus, if you draw a II, why worry. If you were not prepared, why worry? You will either "get by" or flunk. If you "get by", why worry? If you "get by," will you be able? you don't you will only be doing the same thing that has happened in the best of families for the last hundred years. Why worry? FEEL YOUR WORK Interest in one's work is necessary for the well doing of that work. With interest, work may become a fascination and a pleasure, while work without interest is a mere grind. In the one the worker is the master, in the other the slave. Do the work that interests you and get interested in your work. Nothing is so dull but what it possesses interest for somebody, and it is the interest that produces results. If you find no interest in your present work, and only do it because of a sense of duty, quit it and take up something else. Do something in which you have an interest, and in which you can put your best energy and strength. WITH THE POETS THE FIRST ROBIN SONG Sudden it seemed, and almost strange Above the drifted banks of snow; He had feared the winter would never To sunshine, and blossom the lilac row. But above our path he perched to sing Of days of warmth and growth to be; And within our waiting hearts cheers ring The echoes of his ecstacy. So! out of the valley and up the hill, Comrades of season's warm or cold. Up to the crest with a shout and a **138** The robin warbles, our hearts are hold! The student who yells the loudest when his team is winning is generally the loudest "crabber" when his team is losing. -Edna Osborne. HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY bold: Edna Osborne If military training should be required of university students there will be less need for additional class rooms. There are some K. U. students, who make a big splash up here from the dimes which come from the cracked kitchen clock-sheff back on the farm. Once upon a time there was a girl who told her landlady that the automobile broke down—and it really did. From an atlas we learn that Wallstreet is in Colorado, and that Wallpaper hangs out in the same state. Mother judges a sorority by its scholarship, father by its cost, brother by the size of the house, sister by the number of dates on the porch. Dodging falling bricks and plaster to be a Fine Art at North College. The nine-lived cat isn't in the class with some frat-house ponies. It is safe to venture that a class in the movies, if put into the University course, would have few flunkers. If it were only true, Kannah students have no excuse for being behind the wheel. The university has installed a jitney service at its own expense, and a decrease of 50 per cent in tardiness has already been noted—Daily Californian. If It Were Only True! H. C. L. at DePauw Ways of reducing the cost of living in sorority houses will be the general subject of the series of talks to be given by Miss Ida Belle Towsley, instructor in home economics, before the stewards of the sorority houses at the Home Economics Building on each Tuesday evening at 6:45. Miss Towsley will talk upon the balanced diet, meat and vegetable substitutions on Wednesday which may obtain a more wholesome diet at a smaller price than that which they are now paying. Miss Towsley's novel plan has been greeted with a great deal of interest by the stewards, who are eagerly waiting for the meetings to begin-DePauw Daily. A school of business administration offering courses in public affairs and leading to a master's degree, with an entrance requirement of three years' attendance at any college of the university, has been proposed at Cornell University—Daily California.

SENIOR, WHEN YOU GIVE A FUSSY PARTY you don't HAVE to send out invitations—You COULD call 'em up on the 'phone. WHEN YOU GET MARRIED you don't HAVE to send out invitations—You COULD elope. When you graduate from one of the biggest universities in the United States—Well, you DO HAVE to send out invitations announcing that fact to your proud friends. Everybody recognizes the fitness of sending Commencement Invitations. You are approaching a big event—the event, in fact, of your lifetime—for, Scnors, we don't graduate but once. The Senior Commencement Committee is now offering this year's graduates the classiest invitations that have ever come to K. U.-You can't afford to stint your friends--you must be liberal. They expect it of you. So put in your order at once. The committee wishes to impress upon you the fact that you should "do your commencement invitation ordering early."
