The Daily Kansan aims to pick up the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the University of Kansas; to play the University holds; to play the University to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.

UNFAIR TO STUDENTS
He makek me to lie down in green pasture; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he lendeth me to the sage; he takes from his manse's name: Old Testament,
The University has held three convocations since Thanksgiving. Only one of these was for the entire student body, while the men and women students have each had one to discuss problems of interest to themselves. This is a fact in spite of the plan to have two convocations a month this year.
The students of the University like convocations. They want to get together for a general assembly; hear reputable speakers and show their school spirit. They have missed the convocations in their school life this year and no substitute has been offered. It is not too late for a few convocations this semester and the proper authorities would do well to consider the wants—rather, the needs—of the students in settling the convocation problem.
The church people have another reason to rejoice over the bone-dry law. There is anticipated a big rush to the ranks of the ministry, because that is the only way they can get it now.
CO-OPERATION
It is within the power of almost every student to assist materially in the producing of a Jayhawker. If you are a senior or a junior get your picture into the office right away. The same can be said of members or organizations. And these students and every other can dig up some hodak snapshots that give a flash of real college life.
Getting out a Jayhawk is not a University honor but a University job. A thousand things must be attended to and the exasperating thing is that nine-hundred and ninety-eight of a thousand things are unlooked for.
These things should be finished before the nine-hundred and ninety-eight unheard items bob up.
STUDENTS ASLEEP!
A noted man never speaks before the University but what students give a brilliant example of their indifference to worthy lecturers. The audiences are usually fifty per cent faculty members when the proportion of students to faculty members is about ten to one.
Men of ability are brought here at considerable expense to the University to enable students to hear big men while in college and yet only a handful gathers to take advantage of the offer. A large per cent of the lecturers who come here are men of rare ability and have something worth while to say. They are experts in their lines.
The latest example of the sleeping student body was Monday when S. K. Rattliffe, London editor, gave one of
the best lectures that has been delivered at the University this year, to an assemblage of not more than 350. Nearly half of this number were faculty members.
It is true that a speaker occasionally proves a disappointment but the large number who have a real message to bring make regular attendance a safe thing. The lectures are scheduled at 4:30 so that class work will not interfere with attendance but it seems to be a case of "leading a horse to water."
THOSE SHOWERS AGAIN
Once upon a time when the thing still had some elements of the humorous in it, a fellow wrote an editorial about the shower baths in Robinson Gymnasium. "When," he inquired, "is a shower bath not a shower bath?" "The answer came back: 'When the nozzle is off and the pipe clogged so that it sputters and spits and vomits all temperatures of water, and refuses to leak at times, and then cuts loose with a barrel at one spurt, and kicks the soap out of your hand and hits you in the eye, and causes you to slip on the floor and fall down. Just then a hot belch comes and you get up out of the steam and crawl away on all fours, nursing your burned self tenderly with a towel and cursing an athletic association or a gym management or somebody or other who allows such an instrument of the Devil to remain about. That's when."
That was long, long ago—and the showers have been repaired since that time. Unfortunately, however, under the combined influences of boiling hot water and the chemical properties of the Lawrence variety of the same, the nozzles on the showers have rusted out again—and the situation in the Gym today is not unlike that in the far-distant past, when the riddle printed above was first asked.
There is a remedy, of course—if the Athletic Association, or the gym management, or somebody, will only see to it.
HILLTOP PHILOSOPHY
The cranky professor is oftentimes so because of a poorly cooked breakfast.
Snap courses are like some mall-
goods: cheap all the way
around.
Nothing can be had without work-except grades sometimes.
Vice verna, grades can sometimes never be gotten even with work.
Grades are a variable quality, depending upon the professor who gives them.
Anyway, it might have been worse. We shall now be saved the trouble of having to plant ivy over the ruins of Administration Building foundation.
The Laws resent the intrusion of college students within their sacred precincts, especially women. How does one the one woman law student fare?
Some folks train themselves to be like hot-air plants, and then wonder why they are so sensitive to cold.
The students who study latest at night are usually the ones who are densest during the day.
Something can never be gotten for nothing—not even fresh air, for one must meet the angry glance of two hands. I remember every time he opens a window.
Professors who give courses with the least credit usually assign work as if theirs was the only course on the Hill.
One of the chief characteristics of satisfaction is that it can't be found in a boarding club.
Happy is the student in these days whose father is a shoe merchant.
Gusser: "Avoid nothing! Training
in 2014 or 2015 months; marriage
is for life!*
Now isn't it too bad that Congress doesn't appropriate K. U.'s building fund? "Hazard, Kentucky, with a population of 527 people," the $400 million post-office. We don't seem to be getting our share of the bacon.
Fusser: "Could I avoid this universal training by marriage?"
Pebbles of progress mark the shifting moments of a student's life. In the early years, she was new foundation that will prove the bal- valk of a successful career.

BUSINESS A PROFESSION
Business'has been rapidly approaching the learned professions in both respects. The standard of business morals has been greatly raised, even during the past twenty-five years. Business practices formerly considered allowable are now strongly condemned not only by courts and legislatures, but by business itself. Today, however, natural confidence and good faith are absolutely necessary for the conduct of business.
There are sound reasons for the growing tendency to regard business as a profession. The class of vocations usually included under the term of "learned professions" possesses at least two characteristics which render them especially attractive to young men choosing careers in these fields of these calls have in the past been generally acknowledged to be higher than those prevailing in the business world. Secondly, they have required a comparatively large ground of special training. The result has been that the numbers entering these professions has been limited and the number who has been accorded a distinction in their respective communities not granted to the business men.
The increasing size and complexity of the modern business unit has also brought about a recognition of the fact that specialized training is becoming as essential for the business man as for the lawyer or physician. The business man is not easily visible, even though it was possible, for the young man to start at the bottom in order to secure the knowledge and command of a business enterprise necessary for its management. The process is so long that before he could master all departments, the desirable skills required by the manager. The method of learning a business by experience alone has become too slow and uncertain.
Business training schools aim therefore to supply the need for men fitted for advancement to important positions while they are still in their prime, a need never more pressing at than at present. The success of business training colleges has increased more largely international in character will depend largely upon the knowledge and ability of our business men—Boston University News.
"The Blue Pencil" is the newest journalistic organization at the University of Cincinnati. The name, itself, according to the University News, explains the membership and purpose of the organization. Those who wield the unfeeding blue penil for student publications are eligible to join the club—the chief offenders, the editors of the "The University News," of "The Scribe," and of "The Cinch." They are the managing editor of "The University News;" the lesser offenders, the business managers of the three papers; and the least offenders, three associate editors, one from each staff.
