The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our future students, in order than morely printing the news standing for them and to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be tolerant; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University, the students of the University.

OLD NORTH COLLEGE
"When you play, play hard and when you don't play at all." —Theodore Roosevelt
It is only a matter of hours now until Old North College, the birthplace of the University of Kansas, will be turned over to the owls and rats.
Built in 1866 and given to the state by the citizens of Lawrence, old North College has served the University well more than fifty years. It has been the safety valve for overflow enrollment, serving practically every department in the University at one time or another.
For the last twenty-one years North College has been the home of the University School of Music. And for practically every one of those years the building has been declared unsafe for further use.
But old North College went on and on endearing itself to every student who has felt the magic touch of the great spirit that touches every phase of life in the University of Kansas. Every year the cry has become louder for the abandonment of that "bleak old pile of bricks" that stands on the original Mount Oread, and now that state authorities say it must be vacated, we are reluctant to give up the idea of including Old North College in our list of University buildings.
Just as an old soldier hates to lay aside his uniform or an old horse jealously watches the younger blood that has taken his place at the plow, the students look with regret on the abandonment of the cradle of the University.
In fifty years the University has seen a growth of from fifty-five, all enrolled in the preparatory department, to three thousand five hundred, every one a full fledged University student. The curriculum has broadened until it includes the best in every line of learning that is to be had. The faculty has been increased from four to two hundred and fifty, and instead of one building we have twenty-three—all bigger and more efficient than Old North College.
But with all their efficiency they do not send the same thrill through your veins when you step into them as the sight of Old North College brings. There the University spirit was born, and there it has made its headquarters for half a century. Will the spirit that never dies be reluctant to give up its old home? The new building will be fine, but—well, ask any real K. U. student or alumnus. They'll tell you.
Nothing ever daunda a brave man except his baby pictures.
PRACTICE WITH THEORY
Here's to the K. U. professor who is sending every member of his class to Topeka to spend a day observing the workings of the legislature! He ought to flunk every member of the class who doesn't go and stay on the
ground from the time the doors open in the morning until they close in the evening.
A man might study the actions of congresses and legislatures his entire life and yet be lost the first time he appears on a floor where lawmakers are busy. "Book larnin'" will never be enough to qualify the man or woman who hopes to figure in public life in later years. It is necessary to have a first hand knowledge of how a legislature acts to understand the results it accomplishes, either from the inside or the outside point of view.
Books tell us about log-rolling, gerrymandering, filibustering, the pork barrel and the many technicalities of the political machine; they tell us the qualities of good legislators and good legislation; but they can never give us that inner sense of satisfaction in knowing how a legislature really looks or how a legislator acts on duty.
The observation of the real thing along with a study of the theory is of double value, and the impressions which may be gained in a single day's observations in the House and the Senate of the Kansas Legislature will add a hundred per cent to the worth of a semester's class work.
Why don't more professors look about to incorporate a bit of the practical along with their theoretical work?
Money makes the mare go—but gasoline runs the Ford.
THE COLLEGE SPIRIT
Have you caught the spirit? Surely in two or three years on Mount Oread you should have felt that elusive something that touches each and every one in their daily activities on the hill!
But have you caught it? Can you express it in words which show that you see deeper than the average student, and have cornered the one thing that all feel but cannot name by other than a general term, "The College Spirit?"
If you can bottle the thing, analyze it and label it. There is a double reward waiting for you. The Alumni Association has offered five dollars for the first part of the reward. The second prize and the biggest you have gained for yourself.
If you can measure the depth of the spirit that makes the graduates of our colleges and universities the leaders of men the world over; if you can see inside the bonds that make all college men and women akin in thought and act; if you can see the hidden something that makes the college the center of enthusiasm and the scatterer of doubts—then you can become full of that spirit, and feel the pleasures that come from having solved a problem, and giving your calculations to those who feel, and seek to know the thing they feel.
You will know where to find the best of the College Spirit, and the riches you draw from its sources will make you wealthy in the best things of life.

THOSE MEANINGLESS "HELLOS"
Editorial. Daily Kansan:
D. L. H.
"On the campus, in the morning, that laughing, carefree line that goes from Fraser to Ad. is one string of meaningless "Hello!" And thus it was Mount Oread missed the very existence of the spirit of his Alma Mater. Not only did he fail to see the light of sincerity in the eyes of his fellow students, but he was so sure of his hasty conclusion that he put his prattlings into the news columns of a recent issue of the Kansan.
We well may be thankful that the "Hellos" of the "laughing, carefree line" are not meaningless. For, if our greetings are a matter of distance, then we live are sounding brass and we are falsely at play with ourselves.
A greeting is a message of love, a tiny spark of God's great cosmic affection, an expression that of love of man for fellow man that will allow the heart. It comes unconsciously from the heart and is accompanied by a smile.
Perhaps the writer of the news story mentioned above is familiar with some "Hellos" that are meaningless, but, thanks to the better selves of us of Mount Orcad, it can be seen in many contexts free line that goes from Fraser to Ad is one string of meaningless "Hellos!"

AS IT MIGHT BE
Two thousand students attended the lecture by Alfred Noyes, the greatest English poet since Tennyson, at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. "The Shearing of the Wolf, or Married in a Submarine," showing yesterday at a local movie house, failed to draw more than a dozen patrons.
Prof. Arthur J. Boynton announced to his classes today that all final examinations will be dispensed with, but the instructor must do as need hand in note books.
Legislators at Topeka today announced they refused to be interviewed on the Permanent Income Bill because of the great horde of students who were unable to pay for them by lying for the amendment during the Christmas holidays.
A half holiday was declared for tomorrow to allow all students to go to Kansas City to see "Trip, Skip, and Skurry," the season's great musical comedy burlesque. The holiday was granted because of the general disappointment occasioned by the censoring of the "Whirl and Measure" last week
A committee from the University senate is working on an ideal schedule whereby a majority of the students will get all of their examinations out of the way the first three lays.
A stunt week has been announced for the last week of school. All seniors will be excused from final examinations, and special entertainments for the near-alumni will be arranged for every afternoon and evening.
Ten professors were placed on the Roll of Honor today for letting their classes out promptly on time.
From now on freshmen will begin wearing their caps the year around. No excuses will be accepted for cold weather, rain, or bright sunlight.

"Boy Wanted!"
A few years ago such a want would have been fulfilled by hanging a card out with those words upon it.
But today it is the daily newspaper ad! So the present day newspaper is not only educative but it is also filled with opportunities. The Daily Kansan is not an exception. Bargains, information and opportunities make it indispensable to University men and women.
