The Daily Kansan aims to picture students of the University of Kansas, to go further than merely print the news on paper; to play varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be considerate; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to serve to the better students of the University.

FOR KANSAS
The scrap is now on in full swing.
The scrap is now on in run swing. The Permanent Income amendment has been introduced in the state senate.
Students in the five state educational institutions are reported in the legislature as being unanimously in favor of the amendment, and working earnestly for passage and the legislature will have an opportunity to learn just how interested University students really are now that the measure has been introduced. There can be no question that the success or victory of the amendment will depend largely on the interest shown by students.
The University of Kansas is the logical one of the five schools to lead in the fight, and bear the brunt of the battle for the Permanent Income kill.
A local publication announces the arrival of some "out of gown guests," which is another argument in favor of coming prepared.
The fight can be won if every student sees or writes his senator and representative before time to vote on the measure. It's a little thing to do, but it may mean a lot for higher education in Kansas.

PINS AND STUDENTS
The making of pins is one of the most interesting processes of the industrial world. If one man were to sit down with a bit of steel to fashion a pin his task would be extremely tedious, to say the least, and the article he would turn out would probably not be as good as the millions of machine made pins that are made yearly—and which sell for almost nothing.
And the secret of the cheapness of pins lies in the system used in their making. Every process is definitely outlined, and one pin is as good as the next because of this sameness of treatment. Thousands of feet of steel wire go into a machine to make pins, and the repeating and repeating of the processes of manufacture turns out millions of pins—all alike.
Every year thousands of the finest young folks of the land enter our higher educational institutions. The majority of them come with their minds eager for an education, plastic, and expecting to be molded into something more than the average citizen. They come to college fully believing they will learn things that will place them on a plane above the average mind in general ability, keen perception, and what is most important, originality.
But are our colleges fulfilling the mission that is expected of them? The standardization of college courses is an element which combats the individuality of the college student, aiming more to give the student more of the general knowledge, less of the keen perception, and still less of originality.
--l hate the chap; he has no morals;
But—in my place, he passes,
Lampoon.
Tom or May comes to the University and is enrolled in general subjects granted as necessary for a good background for an education. But a semester is barely turned away and the standardization begins to show its effects. Note books are kept according to a certain formulae; themes are written on assigned subjects; instructions are to read this or that and report thus and so. The sum of knowledge gained in any course is usually contained in the text and a few required readings, and the professors go on grinding the students out of one course into the next where the standardization of the semester's work is probably still more thorough. Note books vary little or none, papers on old familiar subjects are handed in, and the same text presents the same facts year after year in the same way, and usually the clear-cut assignments are strict enough to keep the average student busy—busy doing the things that have been done over and over again by his predecessors.
How like mere pins are college graduates likely to be. Thousands of men and women graduate from college every year—all with much the same kind of instruction behind them, and that of the variety that has tended to tear down originality.
. . . . .
No great personality ever known as famous has been the output of a machine system of instruction. Originality fairly bubbles forth from the spirit of the great men of our times and of the ages past. Every one had a new idea.
Anyone can get an old idea from reading a book.
The men whose scholarly activities are not limited to books but who use the books as a background for aggressive thinking and original expression are the ones who are profiting by college careers.
The needed remedy is an opening for and the encouraging of originality and the expression of new ideas. Very few professors give their students real freedom of expression, and their assignments retard freedom of work—if the student is to stay in school.
. . . . .
Three or four times a year special incentive is given for original work in the essay writing, dramatic and engineering lines. In the face of these offerings for original work every department offers one or more scholarships to those who have covered daily assignments well, turned in the best note books, and written the best finals, none of which need display keen perception or originality.
To supervise their students in their work, not to force them, should be the aim of the real higher education.

THE SMUTTY STORY
It proves to your friends how great
they can be together.
It stultified the testimony of those who said you were a good fellow.
It hings vulgar pictures on the inner chamber of the imagination of other men from which they cannot escape.
It soils the imagination of your hearers.
It disgusts men of finer sensibilities who care for the clean and wholesome things of life.
It dishonors your parents and your wife and your children, and your friends and your home, and your business and your God.
It nauseates good men who love fun but hate dirt.
It proves nohing but your own unworthiness.
It accomplishes nothing but your own undoing.

According to some literature sent out from K. U., a professor in that institution is greatly agitated because some people think that university students do not pray. Speaking from experience, we believe a student is most likely to pray about the time he is scheduled to take the examinations—Lorraine Lewis Jackson in the Kinsley Graphic.
