Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, BELL, K, 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the current state of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news in the library of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news in the university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be brave; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to winger heads in all, to serve to the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1917 The talent of success is nothing more than doing whatever you do, without a doubt doing what whatever you do. SENTIMENT In this age of rush and materialism we preach against sentiment and star gazing and too tender hearts. We can't seem to believe that there is any real sinicity in an expression of sympathy—it is sure to be "gush." If one shows too much enthusiasm or excitement we are apt to wonder if he has good common sense. But ashamed as we are to admit it, under all, a little well of sentiment and tenderness which does respond to a note of truly expressed sympathy and undertaking, or to the expression of high ideals and bright enthusiasm. Sentiment, as everything else in the extreme, makes one very silly or objectionable, but just a very little of it saves the world from being quite the humdum place we might otherwise find it. JUST PUT ON Thackeray and Swift and many of the other satirists have raved about the hypocrites, the insincere of their day, but despite these thrusts the “affected” ones are always with us. They hear them using Eastern or Southern accent when they have lived all their lives in Kansas. Some try to appear sophisticated and worldly wise when Topeka or Kansas City occupy their knowledge of great cities, while others assume exaggerated manners which are supposed to be “quite good form in correct society.” These are neither worse nor better than he who poses as the hardened cynic and world weary one, or an ignorant “rough diamond.” Sham! Yes, Thackeray wouldn’t find things greatly different in the old world today. Extravagance is a virtue—when we are the recipients. DON'T RELY ON THE HORN Police Commissioner Arthur Woods of New York City has enjoined owners of motor cars to this effect: "Don't allow your drivers to rely too much on the horn." This is an excellent bit of advice for autoists and coming nearer home, might be applied, in view of the fact that quiz week is straight ahead; to students who are blowing their horns and bleating about the case with which they are "slidin' through." The moral is obvious—he who depends too much on the horn is going to run into trouble. Keep a steady eye on the road. It's the safest, sanest way and is most likely to get you through the crowd. A loud horn and a reckless course are apt te run you straight into the arms of a vigilance committee. YOUR NERVES The department of English has compiled a list of expressions which, says that department, are offensive to the fastidious taste. Here are some extracts from the list: A light complected girl. Won't you leave your stand on the list? The women were all dressed up. The party that wrote was a schoolboy He stopped to price some flowers. We'll admit that these do grate slightly on our nerves, but— We have a few additions to propose. Here are some of 'om': You are requested to report at the Dean's office, etc. Sorry, Harry, but I already have that date. Dear Son—I sent you five extra last month. Nothing doing this time. Too bad, sir, the train just pulled out. Colder, with snow in the northeast portion. This bul has been hanging live for three months now—etc., etc., etc. This bill has been hanging fire for three months now—etc. etc. They are going to dance for the suffering Armenians Saturday night, and the heel-scared toes of white pumps will be mute testimony that suffering is not confined to the Balkans. The censorship committee which took the pleasure out of "The World of Pleasure" may also be expected to take the paradise out of "The Blue Paradise." Ah, the irony of it all! Picture a student sitting up until three in the morning writing a thesis on the "eight hour day law." SMALL-TOWN STUFF Chronic cut-ups with their particular form of superlative ego have harried the student body too long and it is time they were admonished. these nuisances find it difficult to maintain a respectful silence in a class that is devoid of interest to them. When a lecture becomes dry and foreign to the course for which they registered, they not only become dissatisfied but manifest it by disturbing the whole class. One of the most prevalent nusances is the man or woman who comes in late to each class—not late at all. You don't want a late end; let late end disturb the roll-call. This habitual tardiness is in near! every case the fault of the student Occasionally some coquettish young thing fritters away her time in carrying her books. She arrives at the aaddle-pated, two-by-four dude in the library or the hallway, and finally, two minutes before the professor has begun his lecture, comes fluttering breathlessly into the room with every detail of having been unavailably detained. The classroom nuisance comes in and either leaves the door open or slams it shut violently; then he noises over to his seat, kicks over two or three chairs on his way, bangs his books down and makes a gasping sound over the floor to a position that better suits his convenience. While this is going on, Miss Sallie Nuisance, down in the front row, looks slyly at her nearest companion and they both giggle, usually with sufficient vehemence to attract the attention of the whole class. When something occurs which does not exact suit Sallie, she stares out a whole matter with her neighbor, who might possibly want to hear what the professor is saying. And yet they wonder why a professor can't drive home his subject and why sometimes his lectures become dry and uninteresting. LAZY Richguy: "What's your idea of a Prom girl?" Fever: "I'm sitting on my cigarette."-Yale Record. Spring: "Why do you look so repaired?" Hardup: "Well, she must dislike flowers; be afraid to sleep at all; shy at cabs; have a return railroad ticket; that too excited to怠酷试." -Eylea Record "So the man with the telescope is quite a writer." Spring: "What's that got to do with it." Captain (roaring): "Fire at Will." Voice in the Rear: "Where is he?" -Awgwan. Tailor—When in doubt, keep your aンズ in your pocket's—ludge. Customer (trying on dress outfit, okingly) 'I hope I'll never be taken' by you. Sure Protection Baron Baroque—So he left you a widow? Fever: "I'm lazy." Arnold: Yes, that's a garter snake. Minnie (innocently) Why, it's much too small.-Pelican. "Yep, he's a reporter on the sun."— Chaparral. OVER CONFIDENCE Oi! Rococottie. "Yes," and I had quite a collection already. Lampoon. JES' FILLER Nevah Mo'! A jackass Went To the movies. He was so pleased with Himself That he brayed outloud About The pictures; He hawked at His own Small town wit And pawed The back of the seat in Front of him With his hoofs. One night A gent who knew the remedy For such a Disease Turned around politely And husted him Both wide and handsome. So he ain't Doin' that way No more. It's evident she fetched him up— A wild young whipper-snapper. Dad Cumm. Missus Thaw didn't raise her boy "The editor is working himself to death." Some day some kind 'mint' din for sand. non-skid 'dino-dad' for spaghetti. Expressing the opinion of the K. U. French department when the plaster fell—"Pour l'amour de Mique!" "Howzat?" "Heeza galley slave." Doctor Olinger told us about "The Thousandfold Man." A splendid idea! Think of the class-room; we could face each other and would fold himself up a thousand times. But let's not tell the legislature. Some time ago a man received a big hunk of free advertising by saying that K. U, men and women were wolves in sheep's clothing. He referred, no doubt, to the graduates who have sheepskins. Would this gentleman who wishes to stop having take from the freshman his only redeeming feature—his ability to stop the whack of a paddle? CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent this is an appeal to professors and instructors of the University. It has been observed that some of the faculty have been grading students on the basis of first impressions. This is not purposely or consciously done and that it is hard to get away from the idea that, when a student, for instance, gets a poor grade in his first quiz or writes a poor theme, this student will keep on doing poor work. There are of course, some students who instructors in this respect. But members of the faculty, please consider if there is not a little improvement in the work of a few of the wrongly judged students. WRONGLY JUDGED Editor. Daily Kansan: WANT ADS BIOGRAPHIES A course of study which might well be undertaken to complement much work in the College of Arts and Sciences would embrace the biographies and autobiographies of great men of recent generations. A course would also provide an understanding and appreciation of modern history. Biography is one of the most instructive branches of literature. We learn the reasons for the greatness of leading thinkers and statesmen and their lives are made to seem realistic, even if they were true. The principles which guided their lives, the principles under which they had to labor, and their outlook upon important events of the era. Through study of biography great names become great personalities. A course of literature embracing such autobiographies as those of Dr. Andrew Adams and Charles Francis Adams would be of much educational and historic value, and would fill a noticeable want in the University curriculum—Cornell Daily Sun.
