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 life and get go-furries than merely printing the news by standing up, sharing a few favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be useful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads. The Daily Kansan ability to the students of the University.

WHAT, HO! POLITICS!
When all the snow is melted, am all the grass is green, and all the students get that chronic lazy feeling that they usually have when spring has finally established itself, then as the weather gets warmer, so will politics.
The Student Council election in the spring will bring out all the glad handshakers, and the air will reverberate with feelings of goodwill and time-worn promises. Already the politicians are lining up their candidates and getting their machines oiled. If their efforts to organize the different classes and schools are in the interest of these classes and schools', very well. But the scramble for pie after each election enforces the point that it is not always for the good of the various organizations that the machine is manned.
The system whereby elections would be grouped may be put up to the students by the Student Council later. If it is you vote for it, for it will do away with the politician. But until that system is adopted the best thing you can do is to think for yourself and vote as you please.
The average student is perfectly capable of thinking for himself and should be allowed to make his own choice for candidates, without being bothered by the swarm of politicians that assemble whenever an election comes off.
WEATHER！！！
And such are the winters of Kansas, mellow yellow Indian summer, a rich golden fall with balmy pleasant weather through December, with perhaps a light snowfall for Christmas or New Years; and then, when the thoughts of the stude recur to Palm Beach suits and nifty straws, or perhaps to a moonlight ride on the placid bosom of the Kaw, anon there comes from the North a biting blast, striking steel into the Kaw and its streamlets, and bringing driving sleet and snow in its wake.
Just when the days are slowly growing longer, and the early-rising student sees the red-glowing sun through the mists of morning over the valley, winter is upon us in all its fury. Belated it may be, but none the less winter. A genuine Kansas blizzard, with driving winds laden with bitten sleet and heavy drifting snow, is the real thing, even though it may come in the middle of March. If the weather man has a large assortment of different brands of weather for a number of years, we will pin our faith to the early spring of 1915 as our one best bet against his field.
For the benefit of the misunderstanding the Daily Kansan would make plain its attitude toward politics.
The Daily Kansan is not against politics. It is for them, in their place. That is why it runs editorials on politics as they relate to the grouping of elections.
As for politics per se the paper would have it understood that it favors them when clean. Politics are necessary to student activities and government. But they should be played with truth. If a man believes a friend should have an office let him go out and work for him. But while doing so let him stick to the truth; do not make impossible promises, double cross, or otherwise deceive for votes.
That is the Kansan's stand on politics. Keep them clean and in their place.
We never thought of it before but maybe the appropriations have something to do with the shower baths in the Gym.

THE REASON WHY
"Now, look here Marion. That is hardy fairly! Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard are the only people I have wanted all year, and I guess they have not been any nicer to you than they were to me. And I am going to take years earlier to take some courses on him next semester. You might let it." begged Blanche.
Just then the house mother came in. "Girls, you expect someone to have dinner?" she asked.
"Yes, we are," they all chimed in
"we are going to have the
Blanchards."
"Good," said Mrs. Salesbury, "and I wonder if you would mind letting me call them up? Of course you all are too busy to invite them personally, and I am really indebted to Mrs Blanchard."
"That will be fine." the girls echoed triumphantly. And Blanche couldn't resist an expressive side-glance in the direction of the disappointed
"Oh, Denc, let me sit on one side of him at the table. You know I just got a 3 on that last quiz, and I do want him to see that I am bright." Elizabeth was almost in tears as she pleaded her cause.
"Let's have faculty for dinner Wednesday night," suggested "Dene to the girls. 'You know, I have cut class so often lately that I don't believe Mr. Blanchard knows me, and I love you to have him over to get acquainted—and his wife, too, of course."
"Well, girls." Jane said authoritatively, "I don't care who sits next to him, for I can't talk worth a cent, but I do want to be across the table from him. You know I have my new dress, and I can smile understandingly at him from that safe distance. You will let me?"
"That will be all right, I reckon. But listen, girls, I have been under obligation to him for so long that won't you let me be the one to invite them? He used to be nice to me long ago when I was a sophomore, and I want to return his favor." Marion was much in earnest.
So the Blanchards came to dinner, and spent, supposedly a very pleasant evening, never guessing that the girls who were placed next to them and across from them were the highest bidders for the positions of honor

And then, I wouldn't care so much if it didn't get me in bad with the other bunch—the pink and blue frat, you know. But I am sure to meet one of them the next day, and invariably he'll be as cool a boy as he had before he got a bid to their formal that I've been working so hard for all year.

Well, such is life with a popular girl like me. It makes me so blue sometimes that I want to stop school and go to a Girl's college. But I hate to leave Roberta, even if she does make me mad. And then, I am a firm believer in co-education. It is so broadening. Why, I've gained ten
doleful fate
For some people that the night has brought;
I am sore, to begin with, at the world in general, and some certain folks in particular. If I use some violent language, therefore in this epistle to you, I am ready with it, precisely I am really a good girl at heart—when I am not ripped.
May we mean to your fair one's heart?
Why, my blessed old-fashioned Aunt, if you took the "Kansan" you would be horrified absolutely, at some of the things credited to me—that I never any more dreamed would be repeated than anything. For instance, I can never have a wife or a friend Roberta; initially it begins to laugh at me in the middle of my heart-to-heart chat, and then I am doomed. The next appears in the Kansan that Miss Patricia McGregor likes a blue and gold party gown much better than pink and blue, because the Chi Sigma fraternity colors are purple? And I never want that at all (though I really do favor them don't you know, and Roorta knows it).

K. U., has just held its annual Phi Beta Kappa election, but it isn't likely that those students newly honored are better known to the rank and file of the Hill concourse than they are down here in Parsons. An election to Phi Beta Kappas always is remarkable for the unknowns from unheard-of that it drags them from obscurity to scrutiny with erudite one Can linger about a university campus a long, long time and never be aware there is such a species as Phi Beta Kappa except when the list of those elected is published along early in the spring. They are a rare sect and clamish. You don't find them at varsity舞会 that don't inhibit their nooks and cewn by those who prefer to literature. The male members of the P. B. K. don't strut about the streets with their emblematic letters on their sweaters and neither are they to be seen on waxed floors wearing "full evening dress" and guiding pretty maidens through the mazes or fthe new dances and the P. B. K. can participate in society functions and few of them ever attach any Greek letters to their names other than those conferred through excellence of scholarship. They usually are basely ignorant of tangoing and foxtrotting, but they manage to pull down 'Ps' in daily tussels with chemistry French. It's the walk away they of company. It does others the pleasure of their company in order that they may better attend to the business of acquiring knowledge. Funky bunch those Phi Beta Kappas—Parsons Sun.
A Strange Sect
The cause, Aunt Sophie is this. I live presumably in a free country, and that guarantees freedom of speech. But alas, it also gives us at the same time freedom of the press where we write; spirit rebels would you feel my dear, if every word you uttered was taken and twisted and turned inside out, by some person who flatters himself that he is clever, until you are made perfectly ridicuous? Yes, and stop there. For worse, should insignificant words be written up in flowing lines and put in the "Kansan" for every one under the heavens to read and make fun of. And the readers really think you were such a simp as to have uttered these words. And then the insignificant fellow who wrote them any credit at all for originality. And that is my only consolation!

JONE STUDENTS RESOLUTIONS
Notwithstanding many partial, and a few almost complete, failures or the past year, I am determined by God's help, to make several decided advances during 1915.
I will strive to do first class work in my studies and whatever I undertake. Too often I have let my work "slide," trusting to an eleventh hour effort to pull me through examinations.
I will take my place with those who are openly working for the religious improvement of my college. In the past I have sometimes content to keep right on moral issues to keep right on that others would keep things right.
I will undertake responsibility to do as much definite Christian work as I can conscientiously, and having begun, will finish it.
I will give a definite time every morning to my devotion. I am sure this is worth while.—North American Student.
I will try to remember the privilege that I have as a student and to give back something in gratitude and real heartfelt love to motivate life, life possible for me.
MANTELL REVIVES OLD PLAY
Delavigne's "Louis XI" Produced by Shakespearean Actor
this title will I will write home regularly and strive to be more communicative in giving some idea of what I am doing. My home letters frequently have been very irregular and generally dashed off without giving any though of them. Sometimes I have only written when I needed funds.

JUST look this young fellow over carefully: you'll see some of the poinss of style that have made Hart Shaffner & Marx clothes so popular with the best dressed young men.
There are some difficulties about accepting seriously today Delavigne's sketch of the old King, although it was his original intention in writing the play not to supply a bravura role for actors but to reveal to later generations the cruel and superstition the cowardry and piety of the Valois. Mantell has studied the paisled man's study is a remarkably sublimated form of sublimated melodrama. It is an absorbing study of senile delinquency, strong only in the sense of evil. Mr. Mantell has garnished his impersonation with eloquent byplay and expressive detail of expression which makes this Louis XI, as absorbing as any actor he make him. If it is so, to accept him add so due to the qualities which Delavigne has endured his hero. Any man at once old and so wicked, so vain and so pretentious as this monarch, almost chilled in the approach of death, must seem grotesque now.
Look at the broad lapels and generous collar; notice the waistcoat, with the lower potton unbuttoned—made to be that way. Notice the way the trousers hang.
Yet it is this character alone which has kept the play alive in the years that in 1895 intervened since in 1895 began the composition of the work.
