U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorites; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charismatic; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University; to give the students of the University.

With the Board of Administration considering plans for erecting a new machine shop on the campus that will side up to the needs of the University, the question of the proper use for Fowler Hall will come before the students of the University as well as the Board. Among other things the University needs two things—first, an auditorium large enough to accommodate the entire University for convocations and one that is at the same time suitable for concert courses, musical programs, class palms, commencement exercises and a hundred other uses it might be put to during the course of a year. Second, the University needs a Commons. The need of a common meeting place is felt more every year on Mount Oread and it is only a matter of a few years until Kansas will fall in line with other universities by recognizing this need. A cafeteria could be run in connection with the Commons, eliminating the chase down the Hill and at the noon hour. With these two necessities in one building the center of the University would be drawn to one spot. There would be a common meeting place for student and faculty and the criticisms of the lack of a democratic spirit would give way to praise. With Fowler Hall vacated these two necessities could become realities with little expense. The first floor of the building could easily be converted into a Commons with a dining hall, kitchens and other accommodations near the west end. The second floor with partitions removed is large enough to provide an auditorium large enough to accommodate the University for several years. A stage could be built at the rear which would serve for all purposes. It is worth a thought. Just let a fellow spend $5 for a scrumptious new fall hat; and a cold snap comes along and puts it on the shelf with his last summer's straw. OUR BAND "There will be speeches and so-and- so and the band will play—" "The parade will be headed by the Chancellor and department heads followed by the band—" "Cherleafer Gedney and the band will be there—" "The crowds burst into cheers when the band struck up Booia—" And so it goes. You have seen a hundred such newspaper references to the work of the band during the past season, and the band has always been the secondary consideration in the story. Now the band is giving a real concert for the students. Those who attended the concert last year know that it will be worth hearing—that the men under the direction of J. C. M. Ca- canles make real music. Mac says the boys are better than ever this year, and the concert planned for Thursday night will give a program that will make K. U. more proud of its band than ever. No, the dramatic club play, "Under Cover," is not an open air production. HUMAN, AND NO MORE When your prof comes stalkin' in with that grade-book in his fi, and the noise begins to lessen as he starts to read your blessin' for cuttin' class the day before. Just take his wicked rakin'. Try to stop your knees from shakin'. Just remember that he's human and no more. And when... (it's sure to happen) that he sometimes finds you nappin' with your senses barely kickin' or your mind upon some "chicken" who is keen at Terpsichore, don't blame him for the mauling that he slips to you for stalling. Just remember that he's human and no more. Then when he stops you on the street with a smile that seems to meet you in that man-to-manish way till. By George, you're forced to say what you never knew before. "He's a bally decent scout. I'll cut resentment out. I'll remember that he's human, nothing more." Two faculty men had football men in their classes. One of them provided a special geology hike on Sunday morning to accommodate them. The other flunked them if they missed a quiz while on a football trip. CYN4CISMS What a profound effect this "Primes" Week does have upon the habits of our children. "No Dad, I really don't believe that I can spare time to take in that show with you. I would surely like to, but I always get my French at this time." "Yes, that belongs to my roommate. I'm not going out," "No siirsee, I'm off from the women since I came up here. A fellow has to work too hard to fool with them." BY HIS LIGHT Scientists have found that many of our large, bright stars are in reality two stars that have fused together. A dull star lost in the great nebular space comes into the radius of a brilliant body, is drawn into its orbit and collides with it. Thus the dull star becomes a reification of the other. We are of the dull stars in the influence. Then we come into the influence of the thoughts of great men, and are drawn further and further toward their radiance until we begin to reflect of their light and are seen of men. NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE Never trouble trouble until trouble troubles you, is mighty old, but true. No good is accomplished by fretting and stewing over things that cannot be handled well. Hours. Worry is not thought but a tearing down of nervous tissue. If Jimmy has gone to a movie instead of writing his English theme, it won't do him any good to lie awake and think about it. He had better forget there is such a thing and drop to sleep. Worry has never helped anybody out of a tight place, but it has killed a good many.
