U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students further than merely printing the news by actually engaging with students; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be respectful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university and the students of the University. NO CAUSE TO WORRY WEDNESDAY, FEB. 21, 1917 While it is hoped athletic relations with the Aggies can continue the University of Kansas should not lower its standards in dealing with the Manhattan authorities. Contests with the Farmers have always been looked upon with favor but there are numerous schools within reaching distance who can furnish better inducements for games than our fellow Kansans, Year in and year out combats with Manhattan have resulted in victories for K. U. and the local management might be wise in hunting a little bigger game to fill the place of the Aggies on our schedule. Encounters with Big Nine schools would have a much broader appeal to the student body and likewise result in added recognition for the University. In fact, if a few more contests like our gridiron battle with Illinois were scheduled, it would merely satisfy a yearning of both the undergraduates and alumni. We need some new faces on our list. TRY A SCHEDULE Then follow it to the letter. Have certain hours planned to spend in Spooner or any of the departmental libraries, certain hours to spend in the laboratories, in studying at home, etc. After allotting sufficient time for each of these studies, a big surprise awaits you—there is an amazing number of hours left vacant for your recreation, much more than you would ever have believed had not seen it on paper. Most of our time is spent in thinking of the work we should be doing. Make a schedule of your study hours each day—not a mental, flexible one, but a printed schedule—and tack it up over your table where you can see it. There's nothing like a system, no matter whether it's in business or educational pursuits. MAKING A "GO" OF COLLEGE. Consider the plight of the poor, down-trodden college man! Reared and educated to ideas that he may be of some service to the world, by virtue of his superior training, he now degenerates into a mere bubble of nothingness—the butt for the jest and irony of the civilized world. He is set upon a pedestal, only that he may more easily be jabbed and prodded, ridiculed and mocked. It was not enough that clothing manufacturers should encase him in "peg-tops," stick a sombrero on his close-cropped pate and cane in his hand. It was not enough that the advertising world should apportion him to the cigarette dealer and the manufacturer of multi-colored shoes. It was not enough that his brain should be dissected and found to contain nothing but football, dance, and song. Nor would society drop him at that. Certainly not. It would next make of his school a "hot-bed" of crime, a corrupter of the public morals, and a destroyed of youth. Now he is singled out as "trained human resource" and told that he will make most excellent cannon-fodder for the Germans. Surely, it is enough to slaughter him. We ask that he be allowed to rest in peace. But, no, it cannot be. Out of the efette East comes Dr. James L. McConaughey with the statement, in so many words, that he is not worth the killing. He must now be hold up as an object lesson in inefficiency, dissipation of energy, and wastage of time. Thanks, Doctor, we appreciate the last straw. BE BROAD They tell us that the self centerer man will get ahead, will be successful; yet no one who plans to do creative work can hope, for a moment, to succeed if he wholly self-centered. Egotism and selfishness shut out ideas, ideas that are worth while to the world, for thoughts of ourselves and our own importance are in no sense useful or helpful to others. They are not even original, for nearly every mediocritch thinks chiefly of himself and no other. If you would know how they didn't dance in the olden days you can find out next Saturday night. They will have a minuet at the All-University party. Here's an opportunity for some ambitious young man. Now that gentlemen's agreements do not hold good why not get out a contract blank to fill out with a young lady when you make a date for your next dance? They ought to have a ready sale. The management of "Under Cover" will invite several faculty members to sit in the boxes as guests of honor. It will be unnecessary to advise the management that here is an opportunity to get in a few good advance licks. The season for steak-roasts, closed now for a month or so, is opening, and round steak is again advancing to porterhouse prices. "What a different place some people make the same place." A POOR TYPE. There is a certain type of instructor (and fortunately his number is limited), whose chief delight in life seems to be to pick out some individuals who are not his patron of his satire and the butt of his jokes. This is a disgusting procedure, unfair and ungentlemanly. If he said some of the things outside of the class-room, divested of his authority, the instructor would be in danger of violence—or on two feet, two hands, of he deserves such a treatment.—Daily Illini. ALMOST TOO LATE One of the unfortunate aspects of college life is that the average undergraduate fails to appreciate the purpose of his coming to college, in other words, fails to "find himself" until comparatively late in his college course. Perhaps he has come to college because he was sent. Perhaps, because it was just naturally "the thing to do". Perhaps, because he had not received any estimable benefits that come of a liberal education. But even if he is blessed with the latter, on entering college, the real purpose of his college course usually does not become well clarified or clearly defined in his mind until his junior or senior year, until perhaps it is too late to achieve it. The reason for this is that the student does not catch sight of the best school has to offer, does not have an educational institution, and does not receive the intellectual inspiration and incentive that association with great teachers alone can give, until too late in his college course. Of course one obvious remedy for this situation lies in a much-needed improvement in the instruction offered to freshmen. Another suggestion we have to offer is this, that every undergraduate as early in his college career as possible consider carefully just what he hopes to get out of the student. For in college as in almost any game or occupation it is always a big help to know precisely where you are going—The Yale News. We always have with us at the entertainment the gink who breaks out into applause whenever an assistant or stage hand appears on the stage to move the piano or remove the furniture.—Oklahoma Daily. POET'S CORNER The sunny, cloudless, ways have come, All nature seems to laugh aloud in the air. sun Create a wondrous perfect sym- phony. The sky, the earth, the radiance of the sun. MORE SPRING And action spoils perfection in the scene. A dreamy stillness seems to hover round. rnen all I ask is just a spot of ground, Under a shady tree where I may dream. And hear the hum of insects—hear the leaves, Stirred by the wind, protesting lazily. lazily, And whispering low together, chide the breeze. It is the lift that man was made to live. This calm enjoyment of a perfect day. For wakening them from peaceful lethargy. The Author. The Harvard Lampoon has discovered a way to cut down the high price of kissing. Smacks can be had at $1 per, if a formula evolved at Harvard is followed. It is easier than rolling a ball in the snow. We please accept according to late reports. But Gus, you haven't got a Chinese chance. JES' FILLER chance. To pass law courses, fooling round that way.—Daily Texan. Here's the scenario, clipped verbatim: "First select a girl (a pretty one), then bet her a dollar that you can kiss her without touching her. (This sounds impossible and will appeal to her sporting blood.) "Next kiss her and pay the dollar like a good loser." What has become of the old fashioned horse that used to shy at an automobile? Who wins? CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent Also where has the man gone who waited until he needed it to get a hair-cut? A RETRACTION The article headed, "A Diatree Directed Against the Laws" was retracted and a notice of the same mailed a few hours after the article itself was dropped into one of the communication boxes, but this notice did not reach the user's desk in time. In m., the day the article was published. With the price of cabbage ranging up to 10 cents a pound it is no insult to be asked, "What is that you are smoking, cabbage?" COLLEGE AGE A college student is a phase of existence. It comes between the "kid" and the "adult" and is so mixed up with these that it is hard to define. In years, a college student is between eighteen and "upwards." He is an individual or less than an adult, intellectual and moral responsibility and how he will act when responsibility is placed upon him no man can tell. If anyone wishes to lose his reputation as a prophet, let him try to tell what a student will become by what he is in college. If he compares himself at his own estimate, the transaction might be classed with stock gambling. The article was not constructive; it was injudicious and should not have been written. The author admits that an injustice has very likely been done and desires to retract. What truth there might be in such charges, he admits are not his business to eradicate. He admits that he can better be employed in attending to the beam in his own eye rather than (what he might consider) a note in some one else. College students may be classified in various ways. There are those who go to college and those who are "sent"; there are those who are getting an education and those who will become leaders in life and those who will be "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for other men. The student has arrived at an age when he ought to be self-directing. He ought to be allowed to make mistakes and to profit by them. These he certainly will make but not more than others of his age. We must never continue to be a "kid" or whether he will be a self-directing man. There are no restraints on his assuming the status of manhood. Let it be remembered that when he does this, two things must follow. He must be responsible for the government he works in and is part in the government of his fellows. Nothing short of this will make our college the democracies they ought to be—Purdue Exponent. LOST-Gold medal with "Santa Fe A, A." on face and "Oratory" on back.
