The Daily Kansan aims to picture graduate life of the University of Kansas than merely printing the news and sharing it. Students will hold vials; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be careful; to leave more serious problems wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

GET THE JUMP
Mental education has for its first and last step humility. But the humility will allow us to compare our ourselves with the impractical around us, but on the increase of that internal knowledge which alone can secure our of our internal wants.
—Faraday
Like New Year resolutions, the profound avowals students make at the beginning of a semester, are seldom honestly lived up to. The strain of quiz week ends with a great sigh of relief on the student's part and immediately a complete letdown ensues. Sometimes this relaxation is only temporary but more often it assumes permanent character and always with the same result—a terrible strain on the part of the student at the end of the semester to "get by."
Thus it appears that now is the time to have a heart to heart talk with yourself. Analyze the work of last semester, how many I's? How many subjects did you get thoroughly and how many got you? Do you honestly feel that you put forth your best efforts? Are you, or is the prof, loser?
It's an old question. Every person has been confronted with it before and the solution is up to you. The best formula to use is that of the athlete—"get the jump on the other fellow," the "other fellow" in this case being your studies.
Next to the professor who holds his classes overtime, the next high candidate for immediate execution is the man who informs you he has heard a good story, but can't remember it.
DISAGREEMENT
The only program ever attained war in disagreement. No advance would ever have been made in civilization if everyone had meekly agreed with everyone else. The record of all things moving onward in this world is a record of disagreement, argument, even quarrelling. This we find true, in whatever fields we may science, art, history, liberty—so let us be careful how much we say, "le there be harmony and agreement and absolute good will."
Now is the open season for rushing in anticipation of the annual sorority spring parties.
ALL ROUND ATHLETICS
We are in the midst of the most strenuous athletic season of the year. Basketball and track are on in full swing, and soon the baseball teams will be on the field.
In the light of all of this activity it is hardly fitting that the Kansas athletic spirit should be allowed to smolder and flicker now and then in a half hearted flame, waiting for the football season to open. It cannot be denied that football holds the first place in the field of college sports today, but it is not logical to support an
activity that can include only a certain few to the exclusion of other activities of similar nature that include twice as many men working fully as hard.
Our three major sports outside of football do not command the same interest as the big game because they are less thoroughly understood, but anyone who has participated in any of these sports knows that they demand as much nerve, as level a head, and as severe physical tests as football. There is infinite variety in the style of play, and unlimited possibilities for the man who plays the game all the time.
Uniform support of all forms of athletics which will lead to the better understanding of the whole field of sport, and the appreciation of a good play in one branch as much as in another. The real Kansas spirit showing throughout the year will not mean limited success to Kansas in one particular branch of athletics, but a thorough success in all branches.
The "Beat Missouri" and "Beat Nebraska" spirit that puts punch into the football team should be just as rampant on the basketball court, on the track or on the diamond.
Did you figure out the answer to the one in the paper yesterday? Well, here it is. A man eats breakfast food for breakfast, wears a hat on his head, and shines his shoes with shoe polish.
ON SEEKING
Isn't there an old saying in scripture, "Seek and ye shall find?" In story books, good fortune always falls into our laps without striving or seeking. But happily, story books aren't always true—thing don't usually happen that way in real life. In spite of the few shining examples to the contrary, success and good fortune are only attained after striving and seeking and hard endeavor. One doesn't usually get what he hasn't even the energy to go after.
The most futile thing in the world is trying to explain to mother that you only carry them for the other fellows to smoke.
Advice reports indicate that women's frocks will be much prettier this spring. Must be we are going to see more frock and less girl.
If all of the promising material for our athletic teams fulfilled their advance notices the regular variety squads could take a long rest.
SCRIBISH SCRIBBLINGS
And it often follows that the fellow who sings about home in a bass voice shifts to a faint tenor when he plays the gang home with him for a visit.
What has become of the old fashioned girl who washed her face at least once a day with soap and water?
Some day a real wise prof will discover that there are other courses on the job that you can take.
There is nothing cheap about a rubber collar these days.
The fellow who can always give advise is usually a poor hand at receiving the same.
Of course it is a trifle embarrassing when the brick-layer's son from home, who was captain of the team and gave you a place you never deserved, drops around to the frat house to talk over old times.
It's no wonder that Dad wonders if lab fees are never going to stop going up.
Our candidate for the meenest man in the world is the roommate who takes your last clean shirt, wears your new suit, and then takes your girl to the hop on the comp you gave him.
A lady was looking for her husband, and inquired anxiously of the housemaid: "Do you know to happen if of your master's whereboutta?"
Fair Bud—Uncle, I wish you'd give me that beautiful lace handkerchief we saw today for Christmas. It's only five dollars.
Uncle—Nix; that's too much to slow in—Princeton Tiger.

He was a spoiler.
That is, he
Died at the nukk.
His favorite sport was
To drape himself
Over the chair closest
To the Prof and then
Open up his circus
Spieler's jargon.
He studied out questions
And was an En
At the Prof.
Everyone knew that
This was a genius.
Knowledge was his
Twin brother.
A full semester he
Did it
Mr. Webster had more
Words in his book than
Youths had in him
His quiz book but
They were not so clever.
And then—the Prof.
Wrote "flunk" on his
Card in billboard
Letters.
Which is why he
Doesn't spoil the Prof.
No more.
"What kind of a fellow is he?"
Well, he's the kind of a fellow that chats on the phone. "Goody when Kansas shoots a goal."
Where is the old fashioned landlady that used to keep plenty of heat in the house?
And is it really against the law to hoot these one-finger artists, who lay "chop-sticks"?
ENROLLMENT
Swirling, twirling,
Gryating gossamer.
An amnethyst ambrotype.
Tables, tables, tables—
A sea of profs and
Studes—while over all
Floats the nauseous air
Breathed and rebreated.
O nabobs and neuralgia!
Narcissus roots and
Grasshopper blood!
It is the adviser cussing.
He gnaws his nails
Clean to the quick
And smiles a poor, tired,
Befuddled smile.
And so it goes—
The wine-lipped maidens
Come with dainty morsels.
They want money for them.
The dried air, the fried air
is sickening, but we buy
A bonny young hamburger
And munch and munch.
And so it goes—
The Old One: Waiter! Waiter!
Waiter! That man kissed me.
Waiter: Are you sure of that ma'am?

Waiter: Hey, George, help me throw this drunk out.-Widow.
