Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas. Phone, Bell K. U. 25. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students at the university than merely printing the news by standing, holding, or playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to leave more, more problems to wiser heads; in all to encourage the ability of the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1016 LET'S HAVE A DIRECTORY More than 3,000 students, a small city, are assembled at the University but they have no means of locating their fellow students. Last year it was nearly Christmas before the student directories arrived from the state printer and this year there are no prospects at all for a directory. Why not let some individual or organization take the job of issuing the book? The need is certainly apparent and no student would object to paying a small sum for a good student directory. Most of the cost of the book could be defrayed by advertising. If the state printer is to busy with other work let the students take the job. THAT HOSPITAL FEE "The Last Man Has Enrolled"—Kansan headline. It evidently must be a case of race extinction. Certainly after the efficient handling of the typhoid situation, no one can complain, with justice, of the $2 hospital fee. True, at the beginning of the year it did seem like $2 unnecessary expense—forty cokes less, or the price of two football games, was the average reasoning—but in view of closer analysis and later development, it has proved to be a sort of health insurance policy—and indeed, the premium is low. Medical service less intimately connected with the University could not possibly have applied so prompt and efficient a check to the threatened typhoid epidemic as the University Hospital has done. Even handicapped by lack of facilities and often working up to actual physical capacity, the Hospital and the attending physicians have proved prompt and efficient. It is often said that the school of hard knocks is the real road to success. Naturally one would judge that the football men have attained success. WHAT THE TAXPAYER GETS FOR HIS MONEY The average taxpayer has no conception of what he gets for the meagre tax that he pays for the upkeep of state educational institutions. He has read, perhaps, that $1,697,000 are spent annually for these institutions. This is too great a sum, he says, for any state to pay for education. From this bare statement without investigation he rests content, certain that he is being robbed. He is furious if anyone suggests that he be a party to the proposed program for an Income Bill to provide a permanent fund for the support of the schools. Can we not show this individual a few of the things he is getting for his money? 1. There is, of course, instruction for his children at the University, the Agricultural College, and the normal schools. 2. He may get expert analyses of the soil which he is cultivating, with 3. He may send specimens of ore to the state chemical research laboratories and receive a complete analysis of the constituents of the rock. ecommendations for better methods. 4. The department of geology will tell him what rocks are found in his particular region, and for what uses they are best adapted. 5. He may have his well water tested. 6. He is assured of clean food due to the care of the food laboratories. 7. He may have a package library sent to his home from the University on any subject in which he is interested. His wife may receive advice on suitable subjects for clubs or sewing circles. 8. He can receive advice from the department of civil engineering on road building and bridges. 9. He may have a sealer of weights and measures sent to his town to see that the scales on which his hay is weighed or the measures which are used in his store are giving him a square deal. 10. He may send to the extension division and receive model ordinances and franchises to use in framing the laws of his municipality. 11. His town can secure a good speaker on any live subject by paying carfare only. 12. If he wishes, he may enroll in any of the 200 correspondence courses offered by the University. All this and more the taxpayer may receive for his money, and considering the fact that the average person owns only $1,400 worth of taxable property, all this service comes for 58 cents, the average amount contributed for the unkeen of the schools. WOMEN, BEWARE! Wowen, do you know that peril lies in all sides of you and that nt this very moment you are facing a new langer? It is said that the powder puff which is in such general use by the fair sex is full of streptococcus. They are the germs that make pimples and wrinkles and makes the fair face of women look prematurely old. Women have been warned against paint and powder, the lip stick and the eye-brow pencil but never before has such a dire necessity as the powder puff been condemned. If women have to give up this "essential of life" it will mark a decisive battle in the lives of many. TO YOUR ALMA MATER When the brown leaves speak of frost: On the cowpaths, people leaving. Right inside feel kind o' lost. The chimes are slowly sounding, "Lead me on, thou kindly light," And the echo says resounding. Where are my dear friends to- night?" One can hear the tones appealing. With his breast at liberty. Which seems to speak most sacredly: Marie: "At the place where I was spending my vacation this summer, a fresh young farmer tried to kiss me. He'd he'd never kissed a girl in his life." "This is your dear Alma Mater— LEVITY WITH THE GRIND "This is your dear Alma Mater— This, the dearest school I know. And the others round about you Are your brothers—treat them so! —Ohio State Lantern. EXPERTS ONLY If ignorance were bliss, nine-tenths of us would be so happy we'd choke. Weasel—Sure! I call 'em "Math" for short. Tiger. Sapleigh—I like a girl who can take a joke. Ethel: "What did you say to him?" Marie: "I told him that I was no agricultural experiment station."—Boston Transcript. Pop—Are you familiar with Mathematics? "What is home without a mother?" "An incubator, I guess." -Peican. Miss Keen-Then you stand a plaintance chance of being accepted. Delighted Stude (to his parent)— 'Oh, Dad. I copped the English compo- prise. Why, when it came to a show, he would have said the guys jacked off the map."—Life SOME COMPO GEM! HIS CHANCES GOOD TIME Inasmuch as nothing is ever lost, but is only re-formed, then time must of necessity be a only new combination of atoms. Time is non-existent, yet to gain it the general sacrifices and countless gold on worthless remedies to lengthen their days. Time is the volatile depository of all things. It makes you happy and unhappy, and is indeed a saturated solution of events. We save time to waste it, and in wasting it we save it. We make use of human lives with have it, and in having it we spend it. Without it we are always wishing we had it, and when we have it we kill it.-Life. IS SENTIMENT AGAINST SMOKING? CAMPUS OPINION Companies that bear responsibility for good faith but will not be published are not required to publish the opinion. After three years of effort to stamp it out, smoking on the campus continues unabated. The rule against smoking on the approaches to the buildings, and the one against smokers living in the campus are of several years standing, but no consistent attempt to enforce either of them was made prior to 1914 when the student council made an unsuccessful fight on the practice. The university board has made his attitude on the campus very clear, seemingly to no avail. To The Kansan: No rule can be effective unless it is backed by the sentiment of the student body. If the majority of the students think smoking on the campus is the proper thing, it is time to take action because even though matter what may be one's personal sentiments, the majority is always right in democracy, and public opinion will rule here in spite of all rules and regulations which oppose it. START RIGHT AND KEEP GOING Fair Play. The world does not owe you a living. You owe the world work. The old rule made by Captain John Smith that the man who would not work, should not eat, was a good one, and is just as practical, and more so today than ever before, because never in the history of the world was competition so great and the need of industrious men so pronounced. Along with manual labor the brain must be working. When a man decides to enter the business world a study of his own personality and characteristics is necessary, his lines of strength and his limitations. The ability to a sound physique, and a happy disposition is important and best preparation a man can make. Vitality and a good supply of reserve power are necessary. He should develop his magnetism. The most magnetic men in the world are the ones who are always willing to put themselves out for others and who number among their friends nearly everyone they meet. Having familiarized himself with the business he should start out believing in him, he should start out expecting to succeed. A genial laugh is always a good thing; courtesy and cheerfulness are leal tender in any community. Cowell—Say, Bertoglio, did you know he has no phone to make as much noise as the old ones? Success means to keep going. Someone has said that the bull-dogs claim to fame is based on a single trait—he can hang on. Have an aim and determine, by all the powers that be, how long you can work and win, and the world will always give you room—The Dotted Line. What is the use of going around the campus as if you were in an enemy's country? Some fellows act as if they were afraid of offending by saying hello. Their eyes need to be opened as well as their mouths. It is not because they are grouchy, but because they have not got the habit. They have not that cordial spirit of a predominating character to be a predominant character in ourpus. We will never have a closer relationship with a more congenial bunch of men than in college. The best should be made of it. HELLO! A college spirit is founded on union, a union for reaching the same ends and the same ideals. College men have everything in common. It does a man's heart good to meet another man's intentions and the same interests that has. Here we are meeting such men every day and we do not realize it. It only takes a good hello to form a certain friendly relationship and bond between men. We have in our power the making of a distinctive spirit, the making of spirit, which does things together with spirit, which does things when men do not feel close enough to speak to each other to say nothing if pulling together—Vermont Cynic. Bertoglio—Is that right? What did they do to them? Senior—Bill Daubs has water on the knee. Cowell—Why, they took the brass off the front. —Miami Student.
