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 life of the university than merely printing the news that it has done; it must have university holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and helpful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1917.
Remember—there are no self-regard-
ment qualities. There are no qualifi-
ties which tend to the advantage
and preservation of the individual are
presented in the curriculum.

Welcome to K. U., Mr. Merchant.
WELCOME!
You are not only to be our guests for a week, but fellow students as well, and we turn over our home to you. Make every room of it fit in with your scheme of work and pleasure for a whole week, and we won't mind if you interrupt a few of our classes in looking for your own, and we'll be only too glad to show you any part of the campus.
We want you to be just that much at home you will feel you know K. U. as well as we do, and when you do it will mean everything to your business, and the thing that concerns us now—the University and its future development.
Let's just make believe the regular enrollment has been increased by five hundred eager students for one week, and forget about the gulf that divides students from the rest of the world—if any ever existed.
But we, the students—your fellow students, just ask you to feel at home, and on terms of familiarity with every one of us so we both may have a good time for the entire week.
The Extension Division has done what it could to provide worth-will speakers and courses to occupy your working hours. The merchants down town will blow themselves a few times for you, and the faculty will be a little more on dress parade for our visitors.
Were the windows of the famous Lawrence street cars installed before the invention of transparent glass, or can it be possible that cloudy appearance got there by the dirt and the elements?
THE "ONCE-OVER"
Now that the Ways and Means Committee has given us the "once-over" the old question still remains—will it give us the two buildings re quested by the Board of Administration?
The members of the Committee were shown the classes in basements and garrets—the old foundation of the Administration building—the unfit condition of the foundations and walls of Snow Hall and the Medic building—and Old North College, ready to crumble any moment.
It was apparent many of our buildings were out of date, a few of them actually unsafe, and practically all of the class-room furniture bearing the earmarks of costly antiques. All this was evident.

The all important question that follows is whether or not the full importance of our needs was impressed on the senators. Did they see how many students were crowded out of
taking work they wanted because there was not room enough to run another class—or money enough to hire another professor? Did they see where the light and ventilation were poor in otherwise comfortable enough looking rooms? Did they see students doing laboratory work at nights and waiting for chairs in the seminars at the University library? Did they see why many professors of national repute have left K. U. in the last few years?
In other words, in looking over our external appearance of academic prosperis, did they see the deeper needs that after all determine the standing of the school.
Chancellor Strong, for the sake of argument, a newly elected member of the state Banking Commission, is out making a trip of inspection, to recommend banking legislation. He goes to Washington, Kans., where he visits the bank of Senator Wilson, sure-enough chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. He stays in the bank a day, sees where the furniture was scratched, spots a few cans in the back yard, sees where the lighting is bad, finds something wrong with the arrangement of the teller's windows, and says the book-keepers have to work too close together.
But would Chancellor Strong advise the legislature to act on that investigation?
--chirp Of! the Katydids down on the ground?
Here is a parallel. The Board of Administration has studied the needs of K. U. for years. They know the needs of K. U. externally and internally. Their report is very thorough, and representing the taxpayers of the state they have not exaggerated the needs of the University.
What they have expressed as "needs" are in reality "necessities"—thiners we must have at once.
Can't the Legislature take their word for it?
Once upon a time an organization had a picture date set for 12:30 and everybody was on time. But that was neither recently nor here at K. U.
What has become of the old fashioned woman who didn't like to see her name in the newspapers.
Many of the Lawrence white way lights were off on Saturday night. Can it be that Mayor Francisco is already fearing a raid by the "Zeps?"
It is unfortunate for those whose fathers will be in town for Merchants' week that the date was set so early in the month.
If you don't see the target the professor it shooting at, look for the spot he hits.
The only way for the University to teach practical courses in domestic science is to bring a dozen or so mothers here and give them free rein. Then the co-eds can learn to cook a meal that would stick to the ribs.
Every professor remembers at least one student who graduated ten years or so ago who was a little better than anybody who has taken the course since.
Speaking of music, the president has sent another note to Germany.
Why wouldn't it be a good idea to hold the Merchants' Week courses on the fifth floor of Fraser? It surely would result in a few converts for our plea for more room.
Shivering in a classroom one of these fine zero mornings brings one to the realization that while the University of Kansas buildings may not possess any traits of architectural art they certainly are well ventilated.

Most of us can remember the time when the college student was a gaily dressed person who early adopted a pipe bearing strange insignia and by a bulldog, stopping occasionally to give vent to a lusty rah, rah for something.
What is the reason? We think it is that the college student has ceased to be quite such a rarity. Everybody goes to college now. There are tens of thousands of degrees handed out every June and the time is coming up. And with regard to all this there is something that most of us should keep in mind.
There has been a mighty change in this person. He no longer feels under obligation to live up to the com-supplement ideal. The tendency with regard to personal appearance seems to be toward a more conservative mood, and that other great complement of hazing, is also disappearing rapidly.
With competition keener in every line of business, it behooves the college student to get a few of the things that others are missing. The man who blunders his way through the university along with hundreds of others, is asked if he has been missed through. For that reason, the "forehanded person" will ask himself if he is making the most of his time—Michigan Daily.

THE UKULELE

Ukulele, $15.00; Leonardo
Nunes genuine Hawaiian make,
$7.50; Mauna Loa brand, $4.
May be had of 12,000 leading
music dealers. Write for name
of the nearest dealer.
THE languorous charm of the Hawaiian native instruments—so moving in appeal, so observably in vogue—is strikingly characteristic of the Ukulele. Its stone possesses that curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic charm of tonal quality which has made these instruments so sensationally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of form. The finer models are made of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It is much in request today among the smarter college and other musical organizations.
It is easy to learn. Its price includes an Instruction Book.
Hawaiian Steel Guitar
Every chord struck upon this typically representative Hawaiian instrument is marked by a weird, plaintive harmony and strangely beautiful qualities of tone. It brings, to any music, full of vivid color and varied charm.
Price $.00 and upgrades, including Seed and Set of Three Thimbles for Thimbles, and Instruction Book.
Catalogs on application.
