The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news and then merely printing the news' versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be empathetic; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE FIGHT IS JUST STARTED
"He who makes things seem worse
somewhere else seems worse
somewhere else might be."
The words "worse" and "might be" are likely to be part of a sentence. The word "worse" is used in the second clause, while "might be" is used in the first clause.
THE FIGHT IS JOINTED The University of Kansas as a committee of 3500 is resting on its arms in the fight for the Permanent Income Bill. The legislature is still busied with preliminary work, but in a few days the fight for bigger and better state schools in Kansas will be on.
The governor's message has defined the party issues, but does not recommend the Permanent Income Bill. The only mention it makes to schools of higher education is to propose abolishing the Board of Administration, which, Governor Capper said, has not proved efficient. His substitute plan would be a general board for all state institutions with one-man heads for the various departments—a director for education, one for penal institutions, etc.
The failure of the message to take a stand on improvement and support of educational institutions was a disappointment to many who have heard the governor declare his friendship for the schools on so many different occasions. Speaking in his inaugural address of a desire to see a more liberal attitude towards the University has been the only official mention of the betterment of state schools from the governor in some time.
The influence of the governor in the legislative program this year can be judged best by looking at his majority in the recent general election. Arthur Capper is the political lion in Kansas today, and his approval of or silence on the question of the proposed Income Amendment may make or break the possibilities of its passage.
Only three amendments can be submitted to the people of Kansas for their approval at any general election. Two of these probably will be the Good Roads Amendment and the recommendations of the Good Government League of which Governor Capper is president. Whether or not the Income Amendment is the third and last will depend on the work of the students and alumni of the various higher educational institutions in the state.
The question of a Constitution Convention probably will be included in the amendments suggested by the Good Government Association, and in such a case the fight will be prolonged through several more years.
So, while the University of Kansas is resting on its arms, let us not be believe that the time is here when we have won and can quit fighting, or have lost and must give up in despair. The Permanent Income Bill is bound to go through, sometime for its principle is sound—much sounder than the present foundation upon which our educational institutions now stand. Let us be prepared to take up the fight with renewed vigor
when the call comes either in the present legislature or in the Constitutional Convention.
We hate to see a woman hide behind her skirts. The other day a young woman, a librarian, was overheard calling a young man a liar on grounds that upon slight inquiry proved to be entirely false. Of course she knew that her sex would protect her from the treatment she deserved.
THEY'RE OFF!
K. U. has won the first game on its 1917 basketball schedule by a good margin, and the men on the squad have shown that they have the stuff that good teams are made of.
But this was only a beginning. The squad will have some bigger teams than Washburn to meet before the season is over—in fact, a great many of them. The conference games begin next week when the boys go to Ames, and then K. U. basketball fans will have the opportunity to see definitely what our chances are for a valley championship.
This much is evident—the men play hard and fast, and if they keep on developing into the form that the early season team work showed last night, all K. U. should consider it a privilege to see the squad in action against the best teams that can be sent against it. The boys have a flying start. We "Bleacherites" can help them keep up the pace.
We had the nicest editorial all written and set up yesterday to run on the June weather in January. It looks now as though we were going to have to save it till next year.
OUR OPPORTUNITIES
Professor Gunnison, of the College of Emporia, recently stated on account of over-conscientiousness in getting a lesson which he soon forgot, he missed his first and last opportunity to hear an address by Phillips Brooks, at Harvard University.
One may easily be so earnest in the pursuit of the little things of everyday life that he never catches a glimpse of the greater things as they pass by. He who spends all his hait and time on minnows can never expect to catch a whale. Life is a constant choice between the little and the greater things. The little boy who is sent to the orchard for appies may be doing his duty by picking up the little ones but his nail will nill up faster if he looks out for the big ones too!
The old fashioned professor has abandoned his rubbers and hunted up his velvet ear muffs.

THE NEWS IN RHYME
To the Editor, the Journal,
Down in Torridburg infernal,
In your sanctum by the Styx.
Dear Sir;
I have seen the funny capers that abound in many papers that make life worth living on our prox mundane sphere. There are poets by the dozes, and they, their aunts and cousins, are just as funny as they can. Jayhawk Squawks and Starbeams, and foolish stuff it seems, are used as panacea for the tired business man. I guess that's why he's tired, for each evening he is mired in such stuff when glancing through the windows of his air, that the writer's not loser for he gets a solid cartwheel for each sitting with his muse.
Now this college life is awful, and though it's strictly lawful, the profits are planning for a horrid jamboree. The ordeal of the quiz is hard, you bet it is, and I fear I can't survive it; that meansbum for me.
Der kluge Mann baut vurt; like a horseshoe on the door, that is a grand idea and makes good fortune cheap. When I behold your regions and join your countless legions, I'd like to have a job to pay my board and keep. I can write this stuff by gallons; should it fall in Satan's talure? What would he have a genial boss. In two weeks I bid adieu to the world at Waterloo, and Charon in his jitney will bring me right across. And so if there is a chance, I'll bring asbestos pants and be all ready to go at once to work.
Yours, the prudent K. U. Student
KEEPING THE MIND CLEAN
The best of manhood and character is in the ability to keep the mind clean. Were this no difficult task the world would have reached its millenium ages ago; in fact the serpent would not no longer be alive. The pharaoh and Eve have yielded up the ghost and the Garder of Eden passed out of existence.
Neither would Alexander have die in his twenties, nor would Nero have sacked Rome. Neither would crime have been begotten nor would men, millions of soldiers be suffering the poverty of the rigor or economic terror today.
An evil thought conceived, may, like a sulphur match, lie dormant until struck, and then if at the wrong moment and in the wrong place father is hurt. The most valuable path is a harvest of love's labor lost, crime and wretchedness.
*Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes.
And man is mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of thought, and, shaping what he wills,

Brings forth a thousand joys, a
thousand illus.
He thinks in secret and it comes to pass;
Environment is but his looking class." — James Allen.
The reformers are continually looking forward to that Utopian age when no sin—sin as a crime against society. And the reformer attempts to remedy the faults of men. But the splendid panache lies in the grasp of him who would cleanse his own mind. —Oregon Emerald.
