Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for longer than merely printing the news, by building a campus that play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be ambitious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, and to justify the students of the University.

NO REASON FOR BALKING
The editorial reprinted in yesterday's Daily Kansan from the Kansas City Journal, a Republican paper, pleading for the legislature to pass the appropriation bills as drawn up by the Senate shows reasoning unbiased by political considerations.
It points out that the time of hornblowing over economy is passed, that the people of the state need the appropriations for the state schools, and that "no constituent worth considering will blame any member for casting a favorable vote" on the bill.
And the House is making a mistake if it is simply playing politics, claims the Journal. The present legislature is made up of both parties, and the blame of any added appropriations now could be laid on no one party.
The Journal editorial makes it plain that the lower house has no reason for pulling back.
But the next legislature will be Republican, and will have to take all the responsibility for the appropriations that must come some time if education continues in Kansas. If the House were clever it would pass the heavier bill now, and "get out from under." If the representatives are merely "politicking" it would be much better for them to accept the bill sent over by the Senate.
HERE'S FOR THE BOARD
The senior class should put through the proposition to erect a bulletin board memorial. The idea is one of the senest that has been made. The boards used now detract rather than add to the beauty of the campus and are not large enough to accommodate the University announcements.
With a bulletin board of the proposed size on the Hill there would be no excuse for dodgers scattered up and down Adams and other streets leading to the campus.
The fourth year students should be patted on the back for their idea, and given all help possible in making the board a reality.
DON'T MIND HIM
Just because the weather man is in a spitfire mood don't you think that the Hash House baseball league is not going to play ball. Between snow flurries you get out your gloves and toss the horse hide up and down the street, and maybe when the last game is called you will be the proud winner of a cup. If not you will have had a lot of fun.

Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has again appeared for a fleeting moment on the front page. We don't suppose many students remember her, but no doubt many professors will recall the story of her tragic young life.
It is not at all surprising that the professors do not want to go to war. Some of them are married and know what it is.

Pandora's Box
YOU REFORMERS
Isn't it a pity that there are so many folks in the world who think their life work is to reform other people? This is one of the tragedies of life—and of K. U., an important hub of the wheel of the universe. From morning until night we come in contact with the model man—the individual who believes that he, and he alone has the richer environment,attitude experience. He is apt to force this home to you with such auxiliaries as "must," "should," "ought," and their negatives.
"You mustn't wear a red tie. It goes horribly with your sallow complexion. I learned that in psychology," that frank chum of yours will tell you. And how you hate to be told that, even if you do know your complexion has a sickly yellow-jaundice cast.
Again, it may be a girl. The girl you go with most of all, until she runs you off with her ever increasing rules and regulations. "You must go to church tonight with me. It has been ages since you've been, and it will do us good." My doctor didn't do us good? Everything from oatmeal to saffrasafra茶 has a bad taste if they tell us "it is good for us."
This aforementioned individual may be your room mate. I say, Bill, you must begin to study that economics. You must begin to study that hard subject. " took it, and I know."
"You must go to chapel today," the senior at your table will say. "I always went when I was a freshman." And she goes up stairs to write a letter home instead of hitting it up the Hill.
It is useless to harangue one on this subject. Every last one of them will say with a satisfied smirch, "Well they didn't hit me." Now won't you?
Men are like clocks. They are often too fast and sometimes too slow. They go on a strike at frequent intervals. Clocks have ticks and men often do. Each has two hands that are always kept busy when he runs. Bith have wheels in their heads that turn in various directions. Time tells on their faces and neither are worth much when they run-down condition. A ledger.
THE GIRLS OF YESTERDAY
What has become of the old-fashioned girl who used to get bed and flannel and flannel and wedding dresses—Galanne Republican. You saw her the other day coming down the business street and the sight somehow made you forget your business errand and took you back down the misty lane of yesterday—way back to Grandmother's house, where pies made fragrant the air, and the cookies with big raisins in the center grew for little barelegged boys and little girls with big sunbonnets and gingham aprons. She did not come tripping down the street like the gray young buds of orchid flowers she had made her way along; Nor was she garbed in any of these new-fangled, narrow, petticoatless creations. Nor did she wear a hat of crazy curves and angles, or high-heeled shoes, mouse colored or of bronze tint. On her head, silvered, by many winter frosties, she had on her dress was one of those old black alpacas affairs of the plush family album vintage—ample to conceal flannel petticats galore, and an old gold band pin, such as no jeweler carries now. It was waw worn, but you could be better letters on her dress. A pauser flicked away, for these days of ever-changing flavors, flashing styles; but you forgot all this as you looked at her wrinkled motherly face and caught the kindly gleam of her eyes from behind gold-rimmed spees. Ah, there was so much of goodness and sweetness that sympathy and divinity, that you 'elt yourself in the presence of royalty and in your heart of hearts you murmured, "God bless her."—Herbert avinan in Chantecure Tribune.
Flames From the Bush
Girls up here at College have the awfultest manners I have ever seen or heard of in my life. The latest thing I'm howling about is eavesdropping. Now, I have always been told that it was a terrible breach of etiquette to listen to any one else talk—and especially if you can't get away with it. Of course, if you feel that there is an intrigue being plotted or a murder being planned or persecuted, you're going on about your best friend that you thing she ought to learn of, it is all right to play the gallant hero—or heroin and listen at the key-hole—if you aren't caught.
CLOCKS AND MEN
Speaking the Kansas Language
But up here, Aunt Sophie, it's the rosy limit. You can't have a conversation with your next door neighbor at the table, that is, an exciting talk on men or dogs or horse races, that the whole table doesn't at once say "Shu, and every one of you that they don't make any bones about it at all. They listen to you openly and above board, with interest and amusement shining from their twenty faces, and then if you get fussed and blush and try to change the trend of your conversation from the Sigma Chi house-party to your psychology quiz they just howl at you. You have no idea how mortifying it is—especially when one is sensible to see the things nearest her heart—unless every one seems to be too greatly impressed to listen.
-Baldwin Ledger
Dear Aunt Sophie:
"I can't tell you now," he heartily
hail your innocent statement.
THE GIRLS OF YESTERYEAR
"You must say 'awfully sleepy,' says the culture committee, "and send him away from the phone so you can go to bed."
But that never is the worst! When a girl never has time to give a man but two dates a week-end, and doesn't see him from one Sunday night to the next Friday, why shouldn't he be allowed to call her up in peace every other night or so? But no, that will never do. You can't have him hurt by calling "riar" all the sisters kindly congregate on the landing, or else quietly open their doors, ready for a half hour of amusement. And then your misery begins.
"Oh all right," you answer," but wafut slew.
"Oh, please do. Are the boys listening?" you say, and then the girls open doors to a dressing room committee etiquette strain their ears to hear his words. And so it
They are a self-appointed committee on corrections and etiquette, and a self-appointed audience to lauger. They will be A's of course. Aunt Sophie, a one-sided conversation always sounds funny to eavesdroppers. "How are you tonight?" you ask, and the audience laughs, and says, Just like I was today to you. And just think, HE didn't call up then a. That was a girl!
goes!
The psychology of Shakespeare is the guess of some one with a college degree, as to what Shakespeare was thinking about when he wrote his plays, always completely ignoring the fact that the only thing she spear was watching. She the suspects and how to keep his audience interested. The principal difference between psychology and astrology is that astrology tells you what is not so beforehand and psychology does it afterward.
Well, anyway Aunt Sophie, you see what a hard, misunderstood life I lead. I could go on forever, and tell you how wretched I am, but I must stop now and answer the phone. I don't believe Roberta is here now, so may be I'll get a little peace while I talk.
PSYCHOLOGY
Yours to be pitied.
A psychologist by any other name
would know as little.
Psychology is a word often used to explain the meaning of something which we don't understand after it has been explained, and which, if we did understand it, would be why we any company does psychology of adversary means that some one who hasn't the ability to succeed at it tries to reduce to a mental formula the method of those who do succeed at it. Psychology, in short, like the policeman after the thing he comes around with, the thing is done, keeps its club and looks wise.
experts, the science.
But the great beauty about the mind is that to matter how much ministry there is, no matter how many new systems of thought arise and have their brief day, it still remains unscientific and breaks into new fields without rhyme or reason.
Psychology, however, need not be utterly discredited. It has one great useful function. It occupies the exclusive attention of a lot of mediocre intellects who, if they were doing anything else, would not do it well enough to constitute a gain over others. It better it. It is, therefore, much better for them to be engaged in an occupation the exercise of which keeps them doing something which might be worse.
Psychology is, we are told by the experts, the science of the mind.
Psychology, in conclusion, is the sum total of all that is not known about a given subject, reduced to a formula.—Life.

Gets K. U. Scholarship
NATURE AT THE BAT
**Gets K. U. Scholarship**
Edward Kroesch is the one who will receive the K. U. scholarship granted to a member of the senior class of O. U. this year. It is a $280 scholarship and carries with it some teaching and assistant work equal to about two hours a week—Ottawa Campus.
The American Geographical Society has discovered that the Yukon River is fifth among North American streams. Geographical fans had predicted that the Yukon would not long remain in the second place, and they are hoping that the June rise will place the Alaskan river in first place. If it should win the pennant, a host of good wishes will root for it in the world's championship series. Of course this game is not quite so fast as baseball, but it thrills with divine thrill. It also rewards John Muir type, who think in terms of geological epochs. To them a river that goes on a bat once in three centuries is keeping its batting average up to 300; its mountain range that sags two inches off its base is a dare-devil base stealer; and a glacier that covers a thousand years is tycoobbing a home run on smoking shoe leather! So, you see, we cannot laugh at the geographical and geological fans. They are watching the biggest game of all. Old Christy Gravity, their pitcher,otes a curve that he can arm around him, and when he swings the bat he knocks scaling combs clean across the sky. From Collier's.
