Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas
Phones, Bk. K. U. 25 and 66
Published in the afternoon, five times
in the Kokanee, from the press of the De-
portment Office.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture graduate students to go further than merely print the news of University of Kansas's variety of university holds; to play no favorites to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1917.
PUT YOUR BEST FOOT, ETC.
Let him who gropes painfully in darkness or uncertain light, and prays vehemently that the dawn may ripen before it does, "Do the duty which lies nearest thee, which thou knowest to be a duty! Thy clearer, that already have become clearer." - Carlyle.
It is an opportunity—a particularly fortunate opportunity in view of the present appropriation situation. The why is obvious.
It is to be hoped that every student on the Hill will be on the qui vive to show courtesy to the visitors. Stop and talk with a merchant when you see him standing in front of a building. Tell him what building it is, what it is used for, etc. If you have time, take him through the building or over part of the campus. It will make a heap of difference in his opinion of K. U.
And, incidentally, you may thereby make a friend who will be of value to you in the future.
MORE "PINS"
A recent language questionnaire asks students to name, among other things, the language spoken at home by their father. Now who wants to relate what Dad said when the neighbor's chickens scratched up that sprig garden?
Right or wrong the KANSAN wants more student communications of the type which appeared yesterday under the head "Pins and Students." A serious minded comment on some subject that touches close home to University folks is more rare in the community columns than "burlesquish" knocks on some trivial matter.
Yesterday's communication hit a vital spot in the system of American education. The question is—"can that system bare itself to such criticism without fear of the results?"
The communication carried a big idea, and no small element of truth. It was, however, too general in con-
ming the systematizing of education. Many courses do not tear down individualism as was stated, but on the other hand give great latitude for original work. The treatment of similar subjects year after year should tend to bring out different points of view rather than suppress originality. The many courses offering laboratory work could hardly fear such criticism, for under the microscope and in the testing machine are still many unknown secrets.
It cannot be denied there are many professors—an element growing smaller every year—who lay too much stress on the non-essentials in their courses, hashing over the same details in the same way year after year, demanding work just thus and so, and
discouraging expression of personal opinion by ridicule that cannot be answered by the student without returning the ridicule.
But the picture is not as black as it has been painted. The tendency is forward, and such communications as the one yesterday show students are thinking and have their shoulders to the wheel in the progress.
If some geek saunters up Mt. Oread with a straw hat on one of these breezy zero mornings do not think he overcrimped for qui-week. He is simply taking the last degree in Greekdom.
VENTILATION
This cold weather is especially inviting for the professor who forgets there are students who like to breathe real air. Many complaints have been heard against certain faculty members who keep the windows in their class rooms closed from the time they come on the Hill in the morning until they leave in the afternoon. The janitors do not open the windows when they sweep, so many rooms get no real fresh air from the beginning until the end of cold weather.
Such a condition is to be condemned in any building where many people must stay for several hours at a time indoors, and more especially in a university which pretends to be up-to-date.
It is never too cold to open a window from the top for a few minutes during classes, or to let in a few gusts from a number of open windows between classes. The ventilators in the majority of University buildings are obsolete and can hardly be dignified by that name now.
There is only one way to get healthy class-room ventilation, and that is through open windows.
It may be colder in Siberia but who wants to go to Siberia?
THE "JOINER"
Yes, it's hard for the poor fellow. Every day for the last three weeks he has cast aside his flannel shirt, donned a biled collar, gone without his lunch, and smiled sweetly as the photographer caught him for the hundred and fifth time in the latest group picture for the Jayhawker. He is the college "joiner."
He has realized his ambition. He has joined everything from the League to Execute Pink Teas to the Laundry Collectors' Alliance. He goes to the meeting on the night that he is voted in as a member, shows up for the Jayhawk picture, and howls in anguish when he is asked to pay the dues of the society for the first semester of his non-attendance. He belongs to everything that bears a name in the University.
Organizations of noble motives die when he launches into their midst, turning the subline into a state of chaos in his mad chase for honors to be embalmed in the Jayhawker.
Our idea of a real optimist is a person who could wait for a K. U. car on a morning like this without teaching his feminine escort a few new tricks in vocabularizing.
Now arises the faculty humorist who blushingly admits that it was his devilish childhood ambition to get a pug-nosed-bench-legged bulldog and name him Oscar. Tee hee.
If you are elected to any honorary societies this Spring, don't let the honor of it go to your head, and think that is all there is in it.—Lampoon.

POET'S CORNER
Rounded her from her welt-wet stumber
and crossed the hem of the dress.
To the bath (tub made her lumber
a little more heavy) she sat.
Heream sought the spotted cow, And with his gloves he had stared at her brow, and garnered her brow.
Manicured each horn and hoodlet,
and the ears are lined with hair.

Then, while her predicated centered,
On her predicated bran,
Deverently Hiram entered
with a silver plated on
Into which, by gauze protected
from beech blossom and their UK,
Hram skillfully projected
Little streams of nurst milk.
With a microscope he viewed it;
Strained it, weighed it, niced it, cooled
Strained it, weighed it, niced it, cooled
Pasteurized it, too, with care.
Then in bottles small he hauled it
To the city and in short
